True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2143

Gary was still a little moved when he heard those things being said without him present.

Grace was even more surprised that her daughter would have such an understanding view.

All of a sudden, Grace was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing that Grace wasn't speaking at all, Sylvia supposed that she was in agreement with herself, or at least with part of it.

"Celeste didn't grow up in the same environment as you did," Grace finally still spoke, "So you all should be more forgiving towards her." "Mom." Sylvia looked up and said in a low tone, "Is it okay to let Gary suffer like that then?"

"Gary is the initiator of everything after all." Grace did not try to favor her son. "He has to take at least half of the responsibility on this matter." "However, I think she should fight alongside with him. She knew that he got tricked, yet she still chose to leave just like that. Isn't it too much?" "Sylvia," said Grace in a much more serious tone.

"You're a girl as well."

Grace wanted to remind her daughter that as a girl, she should view the matter in the other person's perspective.

"It's specifically because I'm also a girl myself, and that's why I think she isn't putting in enough effort for his sake," Sylvia said gently, "To be frank, I just think that this shows that Gary loves her more than she does."

Perhaps it was ironic that the one who loved the other more was always the person who'd get hurt the most.

That was why she could not bear to see her brother looking so sorrowful.

"Eat up," Grace said, "Some things are not as simple as it seems from the surface."

"If Celeste was here, I would've also told her all these." Sylvia finished her sentence and continued eating in silence.

Gary, who was at the stairs, was pursing his lips. He wanted to go downstairs initially, yet he remained there on the stairs after listening to their conversation. He hesitated for a bit and turned back into his room.

The ones involved would always be blinded from the facts, and the bystanders could always see the fact so clearly.

Perhaps Sylvia could see it so clearly. In the relationship, it was himself that was the most in love.

However, Celeste didn't believe him.

Gary felt deeply remorseful because of that. He felt that it was his own responsibility and that he didn't make Celeste feel secured enough when she was by his side.

He kept her in fear all the time.

He returned to his room and stayed there for a while. He waited for Sylvia to go back to her room and then he went over.

He knocked on the door first and heard Sylvia's voice. "Who is it?"

"It's me," Gary said in a deep voice.

"Gary?"

The door opened as he heard her puzzled tone.

Sylvia looked at Gary in surprise. When she saw his bloodshot eyes, she was stunned. "Are you looking for me?"

"Can I come in?" Gary raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, you can." Sylvia turned over and walked back in.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gary followed her in and closed the door behind.

He looked around the room and found that his

sister seemed to be studying hard.

"Do you still have to study on Spring Festival Eve?" "Yes." Sylvia nodded and sat back down on her desk. She said, "From now on, I'll strive hard to be a top scorer and catch up with Sebastian."

"Sylvia." Gary's heart ached for his sister. "In fact, you don't have to work that hard."

"It's not too hard." Sylvia shook her head as she chuckled. "To be honest, I think studying is quite an interesting thing."

"Is studying interesting?" It was the first time Gary had heard his sister say that. He felt that it was very strange.

"Yes." Sylvia nodded seriously, "At least I wouldn't think about complicated stuff when I'm studying. I'll be immersed in the books and I'll forget about a lot of other things."

Gary smiled. He could understand the meaning behind her words.

There was a smile on his lips, and his gaze fell again on her face again. "You seem to have figured out a lot of things."

"Are you talking about Kendrix?"

Sylvia didn't avoid the topic. Instead, she was very straightforward. From that night when her brothers helped her to took for Kendrix and bring Claudia back, she felt that she had nothing to hide from them anymore.

It wasn't a secret that she was in love with Kendrix.

"Yes." Gary nodded.

"I've thought it through." Sylvia nodded. "It takes effort for things to be done."

Gary sat down before her. He took a glance at the book she was reading and asked, "Do you need my help with your studies?"

"No." Sylvia shook her head and said, "I already know how to use all the knowledge. By reading both you and Ernest's notes, I think that it's really easy."

"Looks like you're quite at ease at it now, huh." Gary also felt slightly more at ease.

"Gary, what are you looking for me for?" Sylvia just felt a little strange about it. Gary wouldn't go and look for her usually, and she thought he might have a reason to since he was there. "You can just tell me about it if there's anything."

Gary was stunned. He looked at his sister and said after a long while, "I heard what you and mom were talking about tonight."

Sylvia was dumbstruck. She thought of what she said to her mother about him and Celeste, but she didn't expect that he would've heard it all. Her heart tightened. In fact, she was still a little worried to know that Gary heard it.

She didn't want him to get angry because of that. After all, she had said something bad about Celeste.

However, as Gary looked into her slightly worried eyes, he said, "I'm very delighted to hear you say all that."

"Huh?" Sylvia looked at Gary in surprise. She had thought that Gary would be angry and that he was still trying to control his temper.

"Are you not mad at me?" She asked again.

"Why would I be mad?" Gary smiled bitterly. "Should I be mad at you for defending me?"

"I talked ill about Celeste. I thought you would be angry," Sylvia said.

"I'm not angry." Gary shook his head. "However, don't say those things again in the future."

"Gary, you really love Celeste more than she loves you."

"No." Gary shook his head. "Celeste loves me as much as I love her."

"Hmm?" Sylvia still felt that it was unbelievable that Gary was still protecting Celeste at that time, and he was really a good man. She had always thought that her brother was simply too prideful, yet seeing how sorrowful he was recently, completely different as how he was before, only then did she realize that it had not been easy at all for him.

пой

"Perhaps you're wondering why I said that." Gary continued, "In short, you don't understand how much Celeste has done for me. She has also suffered a lot for me."

Sylvia didn't quite understand it, and she just looked at Gary in surprise.

What did he mean by she having suffered a lot?

Gary could see that Sylvia was quite confused.

Only then did he say, "Celeste had a miscarriage because of me last year."

"What?" Sylvia froze in shock.

She could clearly see a hint of pain and regret in Gary's eyes.

It was the look of guilt and pity for a woman, as well as the deep love and protectiveness he had for her.

"I've done a lot of wrong things."

Gary smiled bitterly. "I've made her

live a difficult life. Since she'd been with me, she'd always been trying so hard, and she even went to Boston for me Yet, I still let her down. ruined her trust for me. Whether it was because I got tricked or if it was an unintentional mistake, it was all my fault."
