With Matthias''s help, things weren''t really dyed much, even
without aputer.
But that afternoon, something urgent suddenly came up with
Fleming Group, and Celeste had to handle it quickly.
Ata time like this, not having aputer was a real hassle.
Looking at the files sent over from Fleming Group on her phone,
Celeste started regretting tuning down Trevor''s offer of aptop
to her that morning. +
Still, the matter was urgent...
She turned and went upstairs, stopping outside Trevor''s study.
After hesitating for two seconds, she finally knocked on the door.
"Come in." 1
Trevor was seated at his desktop, busy with work. Just as
Celeste pushed the door open, he happened to look up.
Seeing her, he didn''t look surprised at all.
In fact, before she even said anything, he asked, "Need the
Standing at the door, Celeste replied, "...Yes."
Trevor chuckled and nudged theptop beside him toward her,
signaling her to take it.
Only then did Celeste walk inside.
She didn''t look around, just walked straight to his desk, picked
up theptop, and said, "Thank you."
Trevor only smiled without replying.
Celeste said nothing more. She tuned and left with theptop.
Just as she was stepping out of the room, she heard him say to
the other side of the screen, "Continue," and realized he was in
the middle of a meeting
Celeste returned to Jordyn''s room to work.
Jordyn had wanted to y together, but seeing Celeste so busy
that she didn''t even hear what she said, the girl felt a little sulky. 2
At that moment, Trevor walked in.
Jordyn hugged a pillow, sighed, and muttered, "Dad, Mom''s so
busy...”
Trevor gave a quiet hum, then stepped into the room, pulled
over a chair, and sat down right beside Celeste. 2
Celeste didn''t even notice he was there until the sound made her
nce sideways. Seeing it was him, she didn''t say anything, just
went back to her work.
As for the contents on the screen, since it was rted to
Fleming Group, even if Trevor caught a glimpse, it wasn''t a
He actually still had his own things to do, but he stayed for a
while, watching with interest. 2
When enough time had passed, he finally left, though with a
trace of regret in his eyes. 4
That day, Celeste had a lot on her te and kept working until
At dinner, she sat next to Trevor. "I still have quite a bit to finish
tonight," she said. "Do you need theptop?"
"No, you can keep using it.”
"Alright."
Their interactions were going smoothly, which made Martha
quite happy. Thinking Celeste was too thin, she kept urging her
toeat more. 2
After dinner, Celeste went back upstairs to continue working.
Trevor didn''t disturb her again, instead staying downstairs to
y with Jordyn.
At around 9:00 pm, after Jordyn had showered and was ready
for bed, she noticed her mother still working, the sound of the
keyboard tapping away.
It wasn''t really loud, but she suddenly remembered something
and asked, "Mom, why don''t you go work in your and Dad''s room?
She wasn''tining about the noise or saying she couldn''t
She just suddenly recalled that in the past, even if Celeste had
work, she would always do it in the room she shared with Trevor,
not in her room.
Celeste''s hands on the keyboard paused. Two secondster, she
answered, "Working here is the same." Then she added, "Sorry,
I''m disturbing your rest." 1
"You''re not disturbing me at all." Jordyn yawned and said, "I''ll go
to sleep first, then. You should rest early too, Mom. Good night."
“Mm, good night."
Saying that, Celeste helped switch off the main light in her room.<style>
