Chapter <b>183 </b>
Realizing what had just happened, Celeste’s immediate response was to push Trevor away.
“Rx,” Trevor said casually.
As if he had expected her reaction, he gripped a little <b>firmer </b>on her waist.
“You!”
She couldn’t pull away, and she wasn’t about attracting unwanted attention.
People didn’t do things without a reason.
She figured he must have something to say, which was why he pulled this switch.
Hence, she stopped struggling. <b>In </b>a cold voice, she asked, “<b>What </b>do you want to tell me?”
Trevor nced down at her cool expression but didn’t seem bothered. Then, he asked in a rxed tone, “When are you going to pick up Jo’s calls?”
“Some timeter.”
Trevor smiled. “Which is like, around ten days then<b>?</b>”
Celeste paused for a brief moment. “Yeah.”
Even though she and Trevor were getting divorced and she didn’t have custody of Jordyn, she still had obligations as Jordyn’s mother.
Hence, she had decided to carve out one day each month just for Jordyn.
In roughly ten days, it would mark almost a month.
<b>“</b>Alright,” Trevor responded.
That was about all there <b>was </b>to <b>say</b>.
After all, they had nothing left to talk about.
Celeste cast him a look, signaling him to let go of her.
Yet Trevor didn’t. Instead<b>, </b>he asked, “How are you doing these days?<b>” </b>
Celeste pursed her lips. She wasn’t sure what he was up to.
“That’s none of your business.”
Whether she was okay or not was no longer his business.
It seemed like a casual question from Trevor. When she didn’t reply, he didn’t insist. Before she knew it, he had guided her off the dance floor and left.
Everyone else had no idea how Trevor and Celeste had be dance partners out of nowhere.
And when they saw it, they were all surprised.
<b>Wynn</b>, too, was biting her lip.
It didn’t take long for her to calm down.
If Trevor was ever going to fall for Celeste, he would have done it a long time ago.
And it wouldn’t have taken until now.
When she noticed Trevor hade back, she got off the dance floor and asked, “Did you say something to her?”
Trevor replied, “It was about Jo.”
“Oh.”
Wynn knew it. Trevor wouldn’t <b>have </b>approached Celeste for no reason.
With <b>that</b>, she smiled and invited Trevor for a <b>dance </b><b>again</b><b>. </b>
Then, Trevor stepped onto the dance floor with her once more.
On the other side…
Matthias was shocked after seeing Celeste dance with Trevor.
Hearing that Trevor only wanted to <b>talk </b>about <b>Jordyn</b>, he felt a bit more at ease. “From now on, try to <b>keep </b>your distance with him if you can.”
Celeste nodded. “I understand.”
Just then, Caleb walked over. “Ms. Rodriguez, I’m sorry for switching partners without asking you first.”
When they <b>swapped </b>partners, he noticed Celeste’s dark expression. She seemed to be clearly unwilling to be around Trevor.
She didn’t want to dance with Trevor at all.
That was when Caleb realized Trevor was Wynn’s boyfriend
Wynn and Celeste seemed to have a history of conflict.
So Caleb figured Trevor sought out Celeste to talk about Wynn–maybe even to defend her.
Celeste shook her head <b>and </b>said, “It’s fine, and it’s not ever your fault, anyway. I’d do the same if I were you, too.”
She sounded calm and sincere.
He could tell she genuinely didn’t me him.
When they were <b>dancing </b>earlier, Caleb realized she wasn’t particrly chatty or socially agile.
She was quiet and <b>reserved</b>. Her gaze held no ulterior motives–she saw him purely as her <b>dance </b>partner for the
moment.
Caleb extended his hand. “<b>May </b>I have another dance with you then?”
