Celeste paused for a brief moment and took Tucker’s test papers <b>over</b>.
Tucker had a good academic record and a strong foundation Celeste skimmed through the questions and gave him a bit of guidance, and he understood right away.
“<b>Whoa</b>, you’re amazing! Thanks, Celeste!”
Once it clicked, Tucker casually crouched at the coffee table and began answering the <b>questions</b>.
As soon as he finished, he kept away the test papers and pens. “Okay, <b>I </b>can get back to my phone now!”
Celeste smiled, set aside the newspaper she had almost finished, and, feeling a bit more refreshed, decided to head upstairs for a book to kill some time.
Then, Tucker leaned in and whispered, “My dream girl was in another car race recently, Celeste, and she was even cooler this time. I got a video. Wanna watch?”
The smile on Celeste’s face faded a little. “I’ll pass, I’m not really into car <b>racing </b>”
“Oh?”
Tucker was slightly surprised when he heard that. He brought it up because he thought Celeste was interested in it. “You were watching the race through the binocrs for so long that day. I really thought you were into it <b>too</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>Celeste replied, “I wasn’t watching the race. I just saw a few people I know.”
Since she clearly wasn’t interested, Tucker dropped the subject. He turned back to Wynn’s race rey,menting as he watched, “I heard she’s not participating in the next race. I missed seeing her race, though. When will I get to see her again if she’s not racing this time”
Tucker sighed
“I’m heading upstairs to get a book,” Celeste interrupted.
“Okay!” Brimming with energy, Tucker responded, “d you’re doing better, Celeste, but you should still take it easy!”
“Thank you, I will.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she stood up and went upstairs.
Trevor wasn’t in the room when she went back to the room.
Celeste noticed the book Trevor had taken. It was on the table. She went to take it and put it back into her bag.
She used to bring one to two books over whenever she came to stay the night.
But she didn’t manage to find the books in the room. Thinking that they might be in Jordyn’s room, she turned and walked to Jordyn’s room.
Jordyn didn’t close the door.
Just as Celeste was approaching her room, Jordyn’s voice drifted out. “I’m so bored, Wynn! Stay and chat with me for a bit.”
Celeste stopped in her tracks and leaned against the wall.
Secondster, Jordyn chuckled. “Don’t worry, Wynn. I’ll make sure to <b>have </b>the soupter!
“Okay, goodbye, Wynn!”
She even blew kisses to Wynn.
Jordyn didn’t leave her room right away after hanging up the call.
Celeste’s throat was still ufortable from being sick. She let out a few coughs before stepping into Jordyn’s room. That was when Jordyn finally looked up.
She <b>was </b>sprawled on the bed, swinging her legs back and forth in delight. When she saw Celeste, she hopped out of <b>bed</b>. “Why are you here, Mom?”
“I’m looking for a book,” Celeste replied in a t tone.
Jordyn walked to her and grabbed her hand. “Nana said the soup is ready. Do you want to head downstairs together, Mom?”
Celeste withdrew her hand. “I’ve had the soup already. If you haven’t yet, go get yours downstairs.”
After finishing the call with Wynn, Jordyn was in such a good mood that she didn’t pick up on anything off about Celeste.
“I’ll head downstairs now then!”
Celeste only murmured a soft reply.
