True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2043

Gary sat in the car and adjusted his seat. He leaned back into the chair, holding his phone. He put the phone away with an incredibly sour expression after he ended the call.

He raised his hands to his temples and rubbed them hard, feeling a headache coming. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind and he made another call.

The call went through very quickly.

Gary regulated his composure before saying monotonously, "Xyrion."

"Gary." There seemed to be a hint of hesitation and nervousness in Xyrion's voice. "It's you!"

"Yeah, it's me." Gary's voice was low and unhurried. "I'm sure you know why I'm calling."

It was silent for a while before Xyrion replied mockingly. "Why would I know why you're calling? It's not like we're close."

Gary scoffed. "I don't have much of a relationship with you, but I'm close to your half- brother, Yandrea." "And?" Xyrion said in a deep voice.

"You share a complicated relationship with Janice, right? You've given up a lot for her." Gary's tone was nonchalant, but it was grating on Xyrion's nerves.

As expected, when Janice's name was mentioned, Xyrion paused for a few seconds on the other side of the phone. His breathing seemed to have quickened.

Silence ensued.

Gary didn't give him the chance to speak. He continued, "You fell out with your brother over Janice, but she doesn't even give you the time of day. Instead, she's obsessed with me. Are you really okay

with that?"

However, Xyrion was not irritated by what Gary said. Instead, he snorted mockingly. "Who ever said that you have to obtain the person of your affections? I like Janice, and it doesn't have anything to do with whether she likes me back or not. Don't try to provoke me. I know what I'm doing."

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Gary asked, his tone calm.

He had to be patient because Xyrion might have the answers to his questions.

"Of course I do." Xyrion gave Gary a confident answer.

Gary sneered. "Even if this woman had spoken impolitely to Yandrea and had even hurt him?"

"Gary, let me remind you that we're talking about Janice here. She's your woman, and she became pregnant because of you. Your uncle caused her to have a miscarriage, and she suffered in the hospital because of you. If you're a man, then you should pity her." Xyrion snarled at Gary coldly.

"Janice is not my woman." Gary said indifferently.

"Ha!" Xyrion sneered, and let out an air of anger.

He turned agitated. "You're a b*stard, Gary Smith. You played Janice and caused her to lose the baby, yet you have no pity for her. You've hurt Janice repeatedly for Celeste. Are you even a man?"

"It's what she deserved." Gary replied coldly. "I also need to correct you on something. Janice has never been my woman, and I've never touched her."

Xyrion snorted. It was obvious that he did not believe Gary.

He angrily rebuked, "I expected you to say that. You've never been someone who admits their mistakes."

"I don't know what I've done wrong." Gary's tone was calm and placid. "Oh yes, I did make a mistake, and that was being polite to Janice in the first place." "Gary, don't push it! She just lost her baby!" Xyrion shouted loudly over the phone.

"Xyrion." Gary ignored him and interrupted what he was about to say. "You went to the hospital to pick up Janice a few days ago in Boston, didn't you?"

Xyrion paused. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "What about it?"

"You sent her to the apartment after that, right? Well, why didn't you make sure she stayed inside? One thing I don't understand is why you didn't try to help Janice when my uncle hit her. You were there right? Let me guess, you wanted Janice to lose her child, didn't you?"

"I'm afraid you're more ruthless than everyone else," Gary said quietly.

"Shut up." Xyrion was angered by Gary and shouted, "My feelings for Janice are obvious."

"If that's the case, how are you going to explain why you didn't save her?" Gary was very calm. The fuzzy idea in his head was becoming clearer.

Xyrion was stunned by the question, and his breathing turned rapid.

"Janice couldn't care less about your little schemes because Janice's heart has never been with you. She's only using you." Gary obviously heard the change in Xyrion's mood and smiled faintly. "It's best to recall what Janice said and see if she has taken advantage of you rather than arguing with me." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"No, she hasn't!" Xyrion shouted. His voice was very loud, as if he wanted to convince both Gary and himself.

"You don't have to raise your voice at me. Shouting indicates that I'm right. Embarrassed, Xyrion?" Gary chuckled at him.

"Shut up!" Xyrion was enraged. "Do you hear me? Stop talking!"

Gary smiled faintly. "Fine, I'll shut up, but Janice is on her way back to Northern City. If you love her, you should stop her from coming here. You know that Janice is only going to humiliate herself by coming here."

"Ha, you're feeling guilty, aren't you? You're scared! You're afraid that Janice will return to ruin your relationship with Celeste, so you want me to stop her from going, right?" Xyrion seemed to have found ammunition to rebuke Gary, and confidence inched back into his tone. "Listen, I won't stop Janice from going to Northern City. You owe her an explanation."

Gary smiled and said, "So, she's really on her way

here."

Xyrion was shocked and he became enraged once again. "You used me, you a*shole!"

"That's right, I did." Gary admitted frankly. "Janice must have gotten help from your family in order to avoid being listed on the plane manifest."

Xyrion paused, breathing heavily. It took him a while before he shouted, "I don't know where Janice is. If I knew, I'd let her go to Northern City to see you. You played her, so you should take the responsibility."

"Xyrion, you're amazing. I'm impressed that you've done so much for Janice." Gary chuckled mirthlessly. "However, don't you forget that you've never gotten a single scrap of love from her despite all that. You're just a tool to her, and nothing else."

"Shut up! Shut the f*ck up!" Xyrion bellowed over the line. "Don't try to turn Janice and I against each other."

"How can I when there is nothing between you two other than your one-sided feelings? She never did anything for you in return. It was all in your head."

Perhaps what Gary said had finally struck a chord since Xyrion seemed to have forgotten to answer him. Just as Gary was going to continue talking, the call ended.

Gary looked at his phone and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seemed that he had guessed it right. Yandrea's half brother, Xyrion had helped Janice evade his keen eye.
