Chapter 1265


    "Uncle Heinz, can you not be so petty?" Maria really had the urge to roll her eyes. Shemented,


    "I just wanted to refute your remarks saying we are childish, but you''re roping my dad in to deal with


    me. Are all men so petty?"

    For example, Gary and Ernest.


    Why did she feel that men were so petty?


    Zachary did not say anything. Soon, they were going to be separated. In another hour or so, the


    ne would take off.


    Zachary nced at Heinz and changed the topic, "Alex is sending them off to Ennd. He will


    come back after everything is settled."


    "Aren''t you going to send someone too?" Heinz looked at Zachary teasingly and said, "Look, your


    daughter is leaving to study now, but you are still so reluctant to let her go. If she gets married in the


    future, won''t you be more worried?"


    "Am I that worried?" Zachary refused to admit it, "I didn''t send anyone to follow them, so am I still


    considered worried?" "You''re just stubborn, aren''t you?" Heinz smiled and turned to look at Maria,


    "Maria, did you see that? Your father isn''t worried about you."


    "My dad knows that I''ve grown up," Maria was not going to be fooled. She immediately smiled back


    at h8im, "Uncle Heinz, we are going to leave soon, so don''t make jokes now. If you have the time to,


    it''s better for you to focus on Ernest. He yearns for love now."


    Heinz frowned and asked, "Really?"


    "Yep," Maria grinned mysteriously. She nced at Ernest, who was walking over with Celeste, and


    nodded very seriously, "Uncle Heinz, do you know what Ernest wants?"


    Heinz nced at his son and the way he looked at Celeste. Then, he narrowed his eyes and


    answered, "Teenagers like you probably don''t need our care as parents. You want love, right?"


    Maria''s heart skipped a beat. She told herself that she had to be careful in the future when talking to


    adults, especially to people like Uncle Heinz.


    Yvonne and Grace both looked at Maria.


    Maria smiled and felt a little embarrassed, but she was smart. She immediately retorted, "Since


    Uncle Heinz said so, did you fall in love when you were sixteen?"


    Grace blinked and looked at Heinz. Heinz felt helpless since he was actually rendered speechless


    by a young girl.


    After all, everyone knew that this was Heinz''s second marriage.


    This time, Maria really managed to hit his sore spot.


    "Alright, stop joking with her. Celeste ising," Grace helped Heinz out of trouble.


    Just then, Ernest and Celeste arrived together.


    "Nice to see you, Aunt Grace," Celeste recognized Grace and greeted her with a smile. Then, she


    looked at Yvonne and greeted her as well.


    "Hello Celeste," Grace nodded at her warmly.


    Thedy following Celeste was in her thirties. Grace did not know much about Celeste''s family


    situation. She said to thedy, "Hello, are you Celeste''s mother?"


    "No, I''m not, Mrs. Jones," The woman smiled, "I''m here to see Miss White off."


    In other words, she wasn''t her family member.


    This form of address was enough to reveal that they were not from the same family.


    Celeste also smiled but she looked a little lonely. She quickly pitched in, "My aunt has something to


    do and can''te, so she sent someone to see me off."


    Grace''s heart skipped a beat. Did the girl have no


    parents?


    She nodded and immediately said, "You should go through the necessary procedures. It''s better to


    check in early."


    "Alright."


    Meanwhile, Alex had been helping Ernest go through the procedures. A whileter, he managed to


    help Ernest check in his luggage and obtained his boarding pass. After giving some reminders to


    Ernest, Grace was very reluctant to let him go.


    Zachary and Yvonne were also talking to Maria, their reluctance and worry evident on their faces.


    Meanwhile, Celeste stood quietly in the corner, looking at Ernest and Maria''s parents saying


    goodbye to them.


    She was alone.


    In fact, she was a little envious.


    She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. Her gaze fell on Heinz''s face. His facial features were very


    familiar.


    Gary looked very simr to his father.


    In the future, he would be a determined man too.


    Her gaze was filled with longing. Perhaps many yearster, Gary would also be such a man.


    She didn''t notice that Heinz had realized that she


    was looking at him.


    Heinz found that the girl had been staring at him for a long time.


    He frowned and looked over coldly. He found that the child didn''t seem to be looking at him, but her


    eyes were fixed on him. However, she had a faraway look in her eyes.


    He was very surprised that both of his sons were interested in a girl like her.


    Since when did their taste in women be so identical?


    Heinz withdrew his gaze calmly and looked at Ernest. It seemed that the reason why Ernest insisted


    on going to Ennd was because of Celeste.


    Gary was alone in the United States. It was really troublesome for the two boys to be separated in


    such a way, which made Heinz very depressed.


    Heinz''s face fell and he advised, "Hey Ernest, after you arrive in Ennd, take some time to adapt


    to the ce first. If you can''t, immediately transfer to the United States. You are still young and have


    many choices."


    Ernest was stunned for a moment, and his eyes met with his father''s. He was very surprised, "Dad,


    this is my education, not a trifling matter." "It seems that you''re going to Ennd on a whim this


    time," Heinz''s gaze was quite tense and oppressive. His cold aura seemed to freeze the


    atmosphere around the two.


    Ernest was stunned and looked at Heinz. He made up his mind and dered, "I won''t change my


    mind casually after I go to Ennd this time."


    He was firm.


    The conversation between father and son was a little tense, which attracted everyone''s attention.


    Ernest nced at his father and said to his mother, "Mommy, it''s time. We shall go in and board the


    ne."


    Grace took a look at her watch. It was still kind of early. It seemed that Ernest didn''t want to argue


    with Heinz before he left.


    She nodded and gave in, "Well, ask Uncle Logan toe with you. After a while, mommy will go


    and visit you."


    "Mommy, there''s really no need to," Ernest smiled and gave her a warm hug, "We have to go now."


    "That''s right."


    "Celeste, Maria, let''s board the ne," Ernest suggested.


    Maria hugged her parents and said goodbye to them before she walked away with Celeste.


    Celeste was alone with a bag on her back. After they passed the security checkpoint, Maria was still


    reluctant to part with her parents.


    Meanwhile, Celeste had already passed the checkpoint and was already heading inside. She turned


    back to wait for Maria, her eyes full of envy.


    Grace took her phone, took a video of them waving goodbye, and sent it to Gary.


    In the middle of the night, Gary received the video and remained silent for a long time.


    Jealousy was reflected in Celeste''s eyes. Her discouraged gaze made him feel a stabbing pain in


    his heart.


    On impulse, he picked up his phone and dialed Celeste''s number.


    The phone had not been turned off yet and it rang.


    Celeste was shocked.


    She took out her phone and was startled at the sight.


    Ernest was beside her, so he saw the number at first nce. Silently, he narrowed his eyes.


    Celeste hesitated, but she still picked it up anyway.


    "Hello?"


    "You''ve boarded the ne?" Gary''s slightly hoarse voice rang out. Towards the end of his question,


    his voice was so rough that it was almost unintelligible.


    Celeste''s heart trembled for some reason. At that moment, when she heard Gary''s voice, she felt a


    sense of warmth.


    "I just went through the security checkpoint," Celeste whispered, "Why did you call me?"
