Just as Celeste was about to step forward to greet her business partner, a familiar figure appeared behind him.
When Celeste saw Harvey, her expression remained unchaliged.
Harvey, however, didn’t notice her. But a teenage boy of around 17 or 18 beside Harvey happily waved toward the other side of the exit.
“Mom, Wynn! Dad and I are over here!”
Hearing the teenager’s words, Celeste abruptly stopped in her tracks. She suddenly realized who he was.
Tuming her head, she saw exactly what she expected–Lilian and Wynn.
Lilian and Wynn smiled, while <b>Calvin </b>Locket quickly ran toward them.
At that moment, YodaVision’s business partner, Kevin Thatcher, approached with a friendly smile and greeted her in advance. “Ms. Rodriguez”
Celeste unclenched her fist, withdrew her gaze, and smiled as she shook hands with him. “Mr. Thatcher.”
Just then, Lilian, Harvey, and the others finally noticed Celeste.
Harvey frowned slightly.
Lilian’s smile faded somewhat.
Wynn, <b>however</b>, remained indifferent and unconcerned.
Calvin, unaware of his parents and sister’s reactions, followed their gaze. When he saw Celeste, he was immediately stunned by her beauty.
He blurted out, “Wow, what a beautifuldy!”
Wynn frowned and shot him a nce.
Harvey paused, patted Calvin’s shoulder, and withdrew his gaze. “Let’s get in the car first.”
Calvin looked away but suddenly remembered something.
He grumbled, “Where’s my future <b>brother</b>–inw? Why <b>didn’t </b>hee to pick Dad and me up? With that kind of attitude, he wants to marry my beautiful and talented sister? Hmph, I object!”
Wynn chuckled, lightly tapping the back of his head. “Trevor had an important meeting and couldn’t get away.
“But he knew you wereing, so he canceled a social engagement and booked <b>a </b>private <b>dining </b>room as your wee dinner. What do you think? Satisfied now?”
“Barely.”
<b>Calvin </b>lifted his chin arrogantly, looking at Wynn. “You’re so beautiful and outstanding. No matter how much he does, it’s only what he should be doing if he wants to marry <b>you</b><b>!</b>”
Hearing Calvin’s words, Wynn, Lilian, and the others allughed.
By this time, Celeste had finished exchanging pleasantries with Kevin. So, they also got into the car.
Just before getting in, Celeste overheard someone nearby. “That’s such an attractive family of four. Are they celebrities?”
+25 DONUT
“I don’t know, but their family seems so warm. I’m so jealous.”
Celeste closed the car door, slitting out the voices outside
She chatted with Kevin throughout the nearly hour–long ride. Around noon, their car came to a steady stop in front of a restaurant.
Just as Celeste and Kevin stepped out of their vehicle, Harvey’s group also got out of theirs.
They saw Celeste as well.
Harvey didn’t expect to run into her here. He frowned slightly.
to worry
Wynn understood his concern. But she just smiled nonchntly, signaling to him that there was nothing to worry
about.
Before Trevor had formally proposed to divorce Celeste, he had apanied Wynn to meet her family. Back <b>then</b>, Celeste had been too afraid of offending Trevor to even utter <b>a </b>word.
Now that the divorce was about to be finalized, she would be even less likely to cause any trouble.
Harvey understood her meaning. But one <b>could </b>never be too careful.
He didn’t want any unpleasant surprises ruining such a happy day.
Celeste didn’t even <b>nce </b>their way.
Just then, Matthias arrived.
The moment he stepped out of the car, he spotted Harvey’s group–and he also noticed Calvin
