Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1265

"Uncle Heinz, can you not be so petty?" Maria really had the urge to roll her eyes. She commented, "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 plane would take off.

Zachary glanced at Heinz and changed the topic, "Alex is sending them off to England. 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 glanced at Ernest, who was walking over with Celeste, and nodded very seriously, "Uncle Heinz, do you know what Ernest wants?"

Heinz glanced 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 is coming," 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.

The lady following Celeste was in her thirties. Grace did not know much about Celeste's family situation. She said to the lady, "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't come, 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 while later, 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 similar to his father.

"That's right."

"Celeste, Maria, let's board the plane," 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 glance. Silently, he narrowed his eyes.

Celeste hesitated, but she still picked it up anyway.

"Hello?"

"You've boarded the plane?" 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?"
