Chapter 440 Jordyn held Celeste''s hand with one hand and tugged on Trevor with the other . " Let''s go for lunch together ! " Celeste paused , intending to pull her hand away , but then she heard Jordyn suddenly say , " I think it''s been a really , really long time since I had a meal with both Mom and Dad . " Seeing how happy Jordyn looked , holding both her and Trevor''s hands , and noticing how the other kids around them were all apanied by both parents , Celeste hesitated .
She had insisted on keeping the baby when she got pregnant unexpectedly , and in the years that followed , Trevor had basically not been involved in Jordyn''s life . However , in thest couple of years , he started getting close to Jordyn . But it caused the mother and daughter to spend more time apart than together . In other words , Jordyn had never truly experienced being in a "plete " family . 2 Celeste felt that in that sense , she had failed Jordyn .
She gave birth to her , raised her - yet had barely given her a normal childhood … 3 No matter what kind of rtionship she and Trevor might have in the future , they would always be Jordyn''s biological parents . Regarding Jordyn''s future , even after the divorce , they would still have to sit down and discuss things together . So having a meal together like this … wasn''t a big deal . " Mom ? " Seeing she hadn''t replied , Jordyn shook her hand and looked up at her .
Celeste came back to her senses , nced at Trevor , wanting to ask what he thought . But just as she looked up , she saw he was already watching her from the side , as if he could read her mind . He asked , " What should we have for lunch ? " Celeste looked away and answered calmly , " You decide . " 2 Trevor nodded . " Okay . " A whileter , they each got into their cars and headed to the restaurant . When they arrived and entered a private dining room , Jordyn sat in the middle .
Trevor handed the menu to Celeste before asking , " Will you be going to Fleming Group this afternoon ? " " I have other things to do , I won''t be going. " 2 " Alright . " Trevor poured her a cup of tea . Celeste thanked him , then asked , " Jordyn''s birthday ising up . How do you n to celebrate it ? " She hadn''t celebrated Jordyn''s birthday for the past two years . Last year , she''d actually nned to fly to Andostan for Jordyn''s birthday .
But Trevor didn''t respond to her message , and Jordyn seemed to be having a great time without her , not wanting her to go . So , Celeste only went over on the actual day . But when she arrived . She didn''t want to think about it . Recalling what happenedst year , her tone was light when she said , " You can make the arrangements . " 1/3 By that time , they''d already be divorced , and custody of Jordyn would be with Trevor . So , he could n it however he wanted .
As for her , she might not even show up . Just as she was thinking this , Jordyn said , " Mom , can you be with me on my birthday ? " Celeste smiled but didn''t give a direct answer . " We''ll see when the timees . I''ll attend if thats time Jordyn looked a little disappointed . " Okay … " Trevor had a lot of business to attend to . After ordering the food , he took several calls in a row . Celeste didn''t really speak to him much after that .
When they were done with the meal and Celeste was getting ready to leave , fordyn fugged on her , asking her to stay a little longer . Unable to resist , Celeste agreed . Trevor seemed to have finished his work and wasn''t in a rush to leave either . He joined them as they went to a game arcade Celeste didn''t engage with him . Trevor seemed to notice and didn''t force it . Instead , he stood behind them , quietly watching as Celeste taught forty y the games .
How to After ying for a while , Celeste remained expressionless , but Jordyn was worried her father might be bored . " Dad , do you want to y with us ? " Trevor nced at Celeste , who clearly wasn''t paying him any attention . He smiled slightly and said , " It''s okay . I''m happy just watching you two y . " " Okay then ! "
