Chapter 1711
"Does Gary know about this?" Heinz asked.
"No, I haven''t told him yet. I wanted to tell you guys first," Celeste looked at Heinz.
"Alright then. I don''t have any objections. Since your application has already been approved, go
ahead. Gary will be so d to hear that you''ll be going there with him," Heinz smiled warmly.
Celeste was still a bit hesitant andughed, "To be honest, I''m worried that he won''t want me to go
with him."
"That won''t be possible. He probably regrets not letting you go to Boston before. I think you made a
good choice to stay there for a year. Celeste, you''ve really impressed me," Heinz chuckled.

Even though it was a rash decision, Heinz thought that it was rational.
If they went to the United States together, they could stay with each other for an entire year.
They would be able to spend more time with each other, and a stronger bond might form between
the two. They would also be able to avoid theplications that usually arose in long-distance
rtionships.
"I think it''s great that you guys will be together for the next year. Gary will definitely be ecstatic once
he finds out."
"I''ll tell himter," After gaining Heinz and Grace''s support, Celeste felt that she had made the right
decision and grew more confident.
"Go ahead, you guys will have to discuss more about this. Once you guys get to Boston, I suppose
we''ll fly back home after that."
That statement made Celeste think of Cindy. She asked Heinz, "Uncle Heinz, when will Cindy be
sent back to Northern City?"
"Well, she hasn''t been cleared to be discharged from the hospital yet. Once she recovers a little bit
more, she''ll be good to go. Someone will escort her back."
Celeste nodded, "Alright then, I''ll be going then."
"Go ahead," Heinz nodded.
After Celeste left, Grace said to Heinz, "She''s really made a bold decision, hasn''t she?"
Heinz agreed wholeheartedly, "She really is. I think she made the right decision. Though, I think if
she hadn''t done this, Gary would''ve figured out a way to stay in London for her. When I talked to
him about thisst time, I''m certain that he had been making ns to stay but he just didn''t
borate on it. I didn''t want to pry, so I didn''t really ask much. Maybe the two of them have ns of
their own."
After careful consideration, Grace said to Heinz, "I think Celeste should have done this a little earlier
on. Gary might not be prepared for this to happen so fast. I don''t think he''ll expect Celeste to apply
for an exchange in Boston in secret.”
Heinz smiled and stroked his wife''s belly lovingly, "Perhaps she just wanted to surprise Gary. As
long as everything runs smoothly for them, we won''t have to worry too much. We should instead
worry about the babies in your belly, don''t you think so? I want to keep you in a good mood so they
can grow healthily. This is an important task for both of us."
Grace nodded and sighed, "I''m already old enough to be someone''s grandmother. I can''t believe I''m
pregnant with twins in my forties."
The thought of that left her worried.
"This is actually a blessing. It means that our family will grow, and that our family name will be
passed down for generations toe. After you give birth to the twins, we might just get more
grandchildren in five years."
Grace was excited for the future. She hoped that all of her children would grow up to be kind and
healthy. That was all she wanted.
"Ernest and Gary are going to get married to their individual spouses soon and give birth to their
own children. Furthermore, Sebastian and Sylvia are all grown up now," After a slight pause, Grace
suddenly thought of Lowell, who was also in Boston. She then said to Heinz, "Lowell is not young
anymore. I don''t even know if he has a girlfriend yet. When he came backst time, we didn''t
discuss his dating life in detail. After he went to Boston, I feel like he''s been growing distant with us.
I think he must be keeping some things to himself."
Heinz agreed, "Lowell is independent enough. He knows what he wants. We''ve already done our
best raising him, haven''t we? Whatever he decides to do in the future will be wholly up to him. We
don''t have to worry about him too much. Anyways, I''m sure Lowell has a n of his own."
Lowell''s ce in the family was a little weird. After all, he was Grace and Heinz''s younger brother. It
was difficult for him to admit his rtionships with both Grace and Heinz.
Because of that, he might not choose to return to Northern City to live. It would require a great deal
of courage for him to do so after all.
When Celeste returned to her room, Gary was working on hisputer. Upon Celeste''s return, he
asked in surprise, "Where were you? I couldn''t find you just now."
Celeste took a deep breath and closed the door. Then, she fixed her gaze on Gary and walked up
to him.
"What''s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Have I dazzled you with my handsome
nature?" Garyughed as he said.
"Yes, you have. I only have eyes for you, only you," Celeste answered seriously.
Gary''s lips curled into a smile. He was very pleased with Celeste''s reply andughed, "Thank you,
Celeste, I''m d to hearthat."
"Gary, I have something to tell you," Celeste said.
"Celeste, why do you look so serious? You''re scaring me. Just cut right to the chase," Gary was
unsettled by Celeste''s solemn tone. He looked worriedly at Celeste, not knowing what she was
going to say to him.
"Well, I just want to tell you that I n to continue my studies in Boston after you''re done with your
internship in London next week. All my applications have been processed and approved, so all
that''s left for me to do now is board the n when the timees," Celeste said slowly as she
stared into Gary''s eyes.
"What? You''ve already gotten your application approved?" Gary asked, greatly surprised. Soon after
that, he continued, "Oh my goodness, I just called my professor over the phone today! I told him
that I was nning to stay here for another year."
This time, it was Celeste''s turn to be shocked, "What did you say? You''re nning to stay in
London?"
"That''s right. I called him this morning," Gary looked at Celeste and chuckled, "You''ve gotten
everything approved already?"
Celeste nodded and handed the stack of documents she had printed out to Gary.
Gary looked through it carefully.
After he was done, he shook his head andughed. With a rxed smile, he said, "I really didn''t
expect you to do this behind my back, Celeste. You were five steps ahead of me! You''re full of
surprises."
Celeste was very nervous. She looked at him and asked, "So, what do you think? Do you want me
to go to Boston with you?"
"Of course!" Then, Gary pulled Celeste into hisp and continued with a grin, "Looks like the both of
us want to be together. Fortunately, it''s still not toote for me to change my ns. I''ll call the
professor now and tell him to cancel my application to extend my internship in London. Once you''re
done with your research over in Boston after a year, I''ll submit my application once more to keep
youpany in London. That way, we''ll get to stay together every day."
When Celeste heard that, she felt relieved.
She leaned into Gary''s embrace and sighed softly, "I thought you didn''t want me toe with you."
After all, he had told her four years ago that they would separate in the future no matter what.
As soon as she recalled that incident, the light in Celeste''s eyes grew dim.
"Why would you think that? God knows how much I regretted noting to London with you four
years ago. I didn''t even have the guts to ask if you''de to Boston with me. At that time, I was too
arrogant. I thought I had everything under control. It wasn''t until reality suddenly hit me in the face
that I realised that I had nothing to be arrogant about."
Celeste was speechless. She didn''t think that Gary would talk about himself like that.
Gary was indeed a haughty man. When did he start admitting his mistakes so readily?
He had actually admitted to his own fault. Celeste suddenly came to the realization that perhaps
she had never truly gotten to know Gary in the past.
It turned out that he was not as self-righteous as she thought.
He was actually very responsible.
This discovery made Celeste break into a warm smile. She hugged him and whispered in his ear,
"From now on, you''d better not get annoyed with me. I''m going to be with you every day."
"Of course not! I am literally about to leap with joy. Why would I get annoyed with you? Care to tell
me what made you make such a bold decision?" Gary asked as he hugged Celeste closer.
Celeste hesitated for a moment and eventually decided to tell him the truth, "Well, after I learned
that you had given Cindy your blood, I decided to go to Boston with you."
