Although it was an old vi neighborhood, the environment was wonderful. On top of that, with the insane real estate prices in the downtown <b>area</b>, <b>the </b>vi was worth at least two to three billion <b>dors</b>.
Celeste didn’t have that kind of money now.
Trevor had just returned home not long ago <b>and </b>was loosening his tie. He probably found what she said amusing because he raised an eyebrow and asked nonchntly, “Do you intend to pay me for the vi?”
“Yeah. L…”
“Save it.” Trevor put his tie on the dresser. “I can afford to give you that kind of money.”
Then, he also put his watch down before walking into the bathroom.
Celeste watched his retreating figure. She was stunned momentarily before deciding she wouldn’t insist on paying him. Ever since they got married, she was concerned about being a bother to him. That was why she had never. asked him for anything.
Now that Celeste thought about it, this particr vi was the only thing Trevor had taken the initiative of giving her for the past years. She would think of it as a gift <b>that </b>marked the end of their marriage.
At the thought of it, Celeste put the deed in her drawer.
She continued her busy life for three days. On the fourth day, she finally had some time on her hands.
Celeste and Trevor had both been quite busy these days, which meant they didn’t have much time for Jordyn. At noon, the little girl called, asking if Celeste was <b>free </b>to pick her up after school. It had been a long time since Celeste had done that.
Celeste had finished most of her work<b>, </b><b>so </b>she took off from work earlier and drove to Jordyn’s school in <b>the </b>afternoon. Jordyn told her that she wanted to eat her cooking, so she quickly changed and went into the kitchen as soon as they arrived home.
Martha was happy to see Celesteing home early from work. When she noticed thetter personally preparing the meal, she called Trevor <b>and </b>told him toe home for dinner.
Trevor rejected her, “I have work, Grandma<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Martha was pissed off at first, but her <b>face </b>lit up after a brief moment. She hung up the phone <b>and </b>said to Celeste<b>, </b>“Bring Trevor some dinner at hispany, Cel.”
Celeste briefly paused before she rejected. “If Trevor’s busy we shouldn’t disturb.”
“Yeah, he might be busy, but he can’t just skip dinner. Can le?”
“Grandma…”
Before Celeste could reply, Martha eximed, “It’s decided<b>” </b>
Theu, Martha instructed Hannah and the others to make more <b>dishes</b><b>. </b>She was so insistent that Celeste couldn’t find an opportunity to say anything
However, there was an obstacle if Celeste were to bring Trevor dinner–she had no idea whichpany he was at So, how was she supposed to do it?

At the thought of it, Celeste slipped out of the kitchen and beaded upstairs when an opportunity presented itself. She called Trevor, who didn’t answer until after a while<b>. </b>
“Need something?” he asked.
“Grandma <b>wants </b>me to bring you dinner.”

Celeste believed that Trevor wouldn’t want her to bring him dinner. She was making this call so he would go along with her to stop it from happening
“I do. Just tell Grandma that…” Trevor had just started speaking when Celeste suddenly heard Wynn’s voice.
“I brought you dinner, Trevor.”
Celeste was immediately stunned.
Trevor responded to Wynn, “Okay.”
Then, he spoke into his phone, “Tell Grandma that I have dinner ns already.”
Celeste wasn’t surprised at all. She responded, “Alright, loud and clear. I’ll tell Grandma about it.”
“Okay.” Trevor ended the call at that.
