Chapter 2145
After all, it wasn't easy at all for Celeste, who was a prideful person with such low-self-esteem to apologize.
Heinz naturally knew what Celeste had given up.
He did not ridicule or blame her for anything, he just looked at her with his loving gaze. Celeste felt uneasy, and it slowly became a sense of embarrassment and guilt.
She lowered her head in shame and said softly, "Uncle Jones, I've thought a lot throughout the past few days. I feel that I don't really know how to cherish things. I always care too much about own self and my own gains and losses, I forgot about giving. I'm really ashamed of it."
"So, what is your purpose of coming back here?" Heinz asked. His tone was still as unhurried as before, without any hint of blame. Celeste pursed her lips and put her hands together, finally mustering up the courage to look at Heinz. "I'm here for Gary." Hearing that, Heinz smiled.
"Very well," He said, "It's really beyond our expectations that you came back." "I'm really ashamed." Celeste lowered her head again and felt that even she herself was looking down on her own self. She didn't even dare to try to fathom how others would think of her. However, instead of caring what others think of her, she'd rather just be herself.
All of that was nothing compared to losing Gary.
If she had to live her life according to others' expectations, that would be really sad.
That was why she went back there to grasp on her relationship.
She had returned for Gary, and also for herself.
She bravely accepted Heinz's observant gaze, not being afraid at all that he might mock her or humiliate her. The look in her eyes became more and more courageous, and she directly met Heinz's gaze.
Moreover, with the courage, her drooping shoulders straightened up as well.
There was a faint smile on her face. Although she was still a little nervous, she was more courageous and confident.
"I'm glad that you figured everything out and came back. Grace would be relieved as well." Heinz sighed.
"I'm sorry." Celeste apologized again, "I'm sorry for making you and Aunt Smith worry about our matters."
"It's nothing." Heinz smiled. "It's normal for us to worry about you all. After all, it was because me and Grace didn't educate Gary well enough that he made you suffer so much."
"No, no!" Celeste shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with Gary. It was all my fault. I've also repented for whatever I've done."
She had always felt that she wasn't worthy of Gary. However, after careful consideration, she felt that she was just making excuses for herself.
In fact, she was too selfish, focusing only on her own self, ignoring all the others who had sacrificed so much more.
Did Gary not sacrifice a lot for her?
So did Uncle Jones, Aunt Smith, and everyone else.
Thinking of what she had done, Celeste felt nothing but guilt. The guilt in her made her unable to sleep a wink at all throughout the days when she was roaming out there.
She felt that she shouldn't be running away like that. She should be brave enough to face everything.
Therefore, she finally decided to return after thinking about it.
She wanted to be back for her love, and also to regain her courage.
She knew that if she didn't go back, she might regret it for all her life.
She did not want to live her life in regret at all.
"I have not been doing well." Celeste continued, "I kept on insisting on that one mistake, even when I knew that it was Gary who got tricked. Yet, I still blamed him for it. I thought that it was really bad of me, and I wasn't worthy of his love. I knew that I've hurt him a lot this time. I've thought about it really carefully, and I felt I should come back, because I really didn't want to lose him at all."
Heinz nodded, with a touch of praise in his eyes.
Initially, he really thought that Celeste was not suitable for his son at all, but it seemed that she also had her own unique character then.
He was a lot more relieved.
People shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes. What was important was that they must know how to repent on and correct their mistakes. It would be bad to not have the determination to correct their mistakes and to take any action.
However, it was good that Celeste could reflect on herself.
"Very well." Heinz smiled. "I am glad you think so." Celeste smiled a little embarrassedly.
Looking at Heinz, who was wearing a coat, Celeste was a little surprised. It looked like he was heading out to somewhere faraway.
"Uncle Jones, why are you heading out even on Spring Festival Eve?"
Heinz didn't want to tell Celeste about it at first, but when he thought that how brave she really was then, he didn't hide anything either.
"Well, since you asked, I won't hide it from you." Heinz smiled and said, "Aunt Smith sent me to go look for you tonight."
"Ah!" After hearing that, Celeste's face changed, and her eyes were full of guilt. "I'm sorry for making you and Aunt Smith worry so much for me!" She didn't know what to say and only felt even guiltier in her heart.
"I followed you along the way. Fortunately, didn't lose track of you." Heinz smiled. "To be honest, didn't expect you to come back, Al this is beyond my expectation, but I have to say that you've changed my impression on you."
Celeste felt even more apologetic. "Uncle Jones, I'm really sorry."
"There's no need for you to apologize to me," Heinz said, "Let's go home."
"Okay." Celeste dragged her suitcase.
Heinz offered to help her.
"No, Uncle Jones, I can do it myself." Celeste shook her head.
"Give it to me." Heinz took it and pulled the suitcase. "Fortunately, we managed to come back before midnight. Let's enjoy some fireworks later when we go in."
"Okay." Celeste carried her bag and followed Heinz into the home.
When they entered, the Jones family's house was really quiet.
When the butler saw Heinz and Celeste coming back together, he was very surprised and immediately showed a delighted expression on his face.
"Sir, Miss White, it's great that you both are back."
The butler went to take the luggage in Heinz's hands.
"Let's enjoy some fireworks later. Prepare some more food and prepare the table again," Heinz said.
"Okay, Sir." The butler took the luggage in his hand, looked at Celeste and asked, "Miss White, should I bring the luggage directly to Young Master Gary's room?"
Celeste blushed. She didn't know what Gary would think of her as she just returned like that.
She felt a little embarrassed when the butler asked her that question.
Heinz said directly, "Of course. Where else should you put it? Chop chop, send it upstairs and prepare the fireworks."
"All right." The butler quickly went upstairs.
Heinz said to Celeste, "You should go upstairs as well. I'll go to the room and see whether Grace is asleep or not. If she isn't, well come back down for some food later."
"Okay, Uncle Jones."
Celeste then went upstairs too.
The butler carried her suitcase to Gary's door and knocked on the door.
Gary's impatient voice sounded from inside, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Young Master Gary," the butler said.
Gary walked to the door and opened it. When he saw the butler carrying a large suitcase, he was a little taken aback.
When he saw the suitcase in the butler's hand, which happened to be the same suitcase Celeste carried the other day, he was really surprised.
His gaze suddenly became much sharper as he said impatiently, "Whose luggage is this?"
The butler also knew what had
happened those days. Young Master
Gary hardly went downstairs those
days, and it was obvious that his
eyes were bloodshot because he was heartbroken. Content belongs

As Celeste had finally returned then, Young Master Gary could get rid of his problems and not be as dispirited.
He kept him guessing and said with a smile, "It's your Spring Festival Eve's surprise."
Gary was extremely shocked. The expression on his face was also one of extreme dumbstruck. Almost subconsciously, he just looked in the direction
of the stairs.
At that moment, Celeste appeared before his sight.
She was walking very, very slowly.
The butler put down the suitcase and said with a smile, "Young
In
Master Gary, I'm going to prepare for tonight's reunion dinner. Master Jones is back too. We'll hold the
banquet once again, once all of you come down."

Gary didn't know what the butler was saying anymore. He just stared at the familiar figure without blinking as he watched Celeste getting closer and
closer towards himself.
Finally, she was standing still in front of himself.
She was much thinner.
She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was as smaller than his palm.
