Chapter 2065
Gary glanced at Heinz, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'rn eating. Can't you see? To think you noticed my casual glance."
"Hmph, if you don't focus on eating, it would cause indigestion," Heinz replied.
"I don't mind. I am not a growing child who needs to watch their diet, or a pregnant woman like Mom who has to eat for two," Gary retorted.
"You have too much to say. Shut up and eat your food." Heinz was defeated.
Gary said, "It wasn't me who started the conversation. I was just eating until you started speaking to me."
"Well, carry on then." Heinz looked at Gary and smiled slightly. Anyway, he had already gotten what he wanted. Gary was now a Jones, he had no regrets.
He was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue further with Gary.
He had never won an argument against him anyway.
Heinz finally understood that he was always below Grace and Gary.
Well, there were others who could deal with Gary. It didn't have to be him.
Celeste had Gary wrapped around her fingers. Although she was a quiet girl, she was still able to take him down.
Therefore, Heinz felt that it was better not to trouble himself with arguing with Gary.
So he stopped arguing with him.
Heinz said to Grace, "You can watch TV downstairs. I'm going upstairs."
"Okay." Grace nodded.
Gary left shortly after.
However, Grace's attention was not on the TV in front of her.
She kept turning to look at Gary and Celeste.
Since Grace was still there, Celeste and Gary could not sit in silence and had to converse with each other from time to time.
Celeste had already eaten dinner, but because of Gary, she had to eat more. She would place some dishes on his plate as she had not forgotten to make their relationship as realistic as possible.
She couldn't let Grace sense that something was wrong with them as she was still sitting in the living room.
Celeste looked at Gary and said, "You haven't eaten much either. Hurry up and taste this. I think it's delicious and very suited for this cold weather." "When have you paid so much attention to nutrition?" Gary raised his eyebrow.
"I read it in a book while we were upstairs." Celeste gave a random excuse.
"I see." He nodded.
Afterward, the two of them fell silent again.
Celeste lowered her voice and asked, "Is Janice here?"
Gary was startled at her sudden question. He glanced at her as he began to think.
He never thought she would ask about this matter, especially when they were downstairs and his mother was still nearby.
"Yes," Gary replied.
She was stunned by his reply, and so she asked, "Have you met with her?"
"No." He lowered his voice and said word by word, "I won't go to see her, but I had someone restricting her freedom."
"What if she calls the police?" She couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Gary glanced at Celeste and burst into laughter. "Are you worried for me?"
"What do you mean? Of course, I care about you." She felt that even if their relationship was not as intimate, they were still in it together.
There was no doubt that she had always been concerned about him.
However, he was doubting her and thinking that she no longer cared for him.
She felt upset and afraid that Grace would overhear them. She looked up and in the direction of the living room. It just so happened she met Grace's gaze. She was shocked but she flashed a smile at Grace.
Grace smiled back at her.
Celeste regained her senses and looked at Gary.
Just then, he looked at her too.
She said, "Although we don't know what Janice would do, it's likely she would come at you, so be careful and do not let her take advantage of you." "She's already taken advantage of the situation," Gary said solemnly as he looked at her with a burning gaze.
To him, Celeste was his weakness. What he cared about the most was her.
He knew his mother wouldn't be concerned about anything as long as he and Celeste's relationship remained well.
Grace would not care about any other thing than this.
He believed that Celeste understood it.
As expected, after hearing this, she stopped talking.
"What are you going to do next?" After a long time, she asked again, "You can't have it continue like this, can you?"
"As long as you're by my side, Mom

won't be hurt. And all she worries about is our relationship." He glanced at Grace and noticed her gaze on them, so he smiled at her.
The two children were putting on quite a show.
Looking at them from a distance, Grace sighed helplessly at their rocky relationship.
The two of them were still eating when Gary's phone rang.
He took a bite of his food before picking up the phone.
Yandrea's voice sounded. "Did you have Xyrion under control too?"
"Yes." Gary said, "You know I would."
"But if my dad finds out, he would intervene for sure. Don't make this bigger than it is, understand?" Yandrea said. "Would he come at me? If he does, it's my honor. I would be sure to receive him properly, so don't worry," said Gary.
"How can you still be joking in this situation?" Yandrea was serious about this matter, but Gary was joking with him.
"I am serious, so serious that you can't even smile. If he comes over, I would treat him and show him around Northern City," Gary said in a deep voice.
"He wants to call the police, saying
that you have stolen his preciousz son's freedom! I know my father. He wouldn't allow anyone other than himself to hurt his son. He would surely be mad."
"What a coincidence." Gary smiled. "It's the same for my dad too." "Are you deliberately going against him?" Yandrea was very worried.
