After the day Celeste replied to Trevor''s message, he didn''t reply


    even after a few days had passed.


    Instead, Jordyn contacted her twice.


    On Friday night, Celeste took Jordyn out. 1


    After dinner, and after ying a treasure hunt game, Jordyn said


    she wanted a milkshake. Just as Celeste was about to hand her


    the cup she ordered, she saw Trevor not far away.


    And he was walking toward her and Jordyn.


    Celeste froze.


    When Trevor noticed her looking, a faint smile appeared on his


    handsome face. 3


    At that moment, Jordyn also saw him, but there was no surprise


    on her face. It looked as if she already knew he woulde find


    She happily waved. "Dad, over here.”<fnd2d4> Checktest chapters at F?ndNovel</fnd2d4>


    As soon as Trevor came over, Jordyn shook the milkshake in her


    hand and asked, "Dad, do you want some?"


    He ruffled her head with hisrge hand. "I''m not thirsty." 1


    Jordyn said okay and happily drank by herself.


    Then Trevor''s gaze returned to Celeste. "I just got off the ne."


    Did she ask him?


    Still, since Jordyn was there, she gave a small hum in


    acknowledgement.


    She didn''t look at Trevor, but bent down and said to Jordyn, "Jo,


    it''s gettingte, how about—"


    But Jordyn was already distracted by something in the crowd. "


    Mom, there''s someone ying the drum set over there!"


    Before Celeste could say anything, she ran off.


    What Jordyn meant was actually a nearby drum school moving


    their instruments out into the square, inviting kids to perform


    and attract students.


    Kids these days were bold. Several about the same age as


    Jordyn went up to y, clearly with some foundation


    Their drumming was lively and in rhythm, and together with the


    upbeat background music, it drew quite a crowd.


    Jordyn had never yed drums before, but seeing kids her age


    go up looked cool to her. She quickly squeezed into the crowd


    and stood watching.


    There were quite a lot of people around


    Worried she''d get lost, Celeste hurried after her.


    Trevor wasn''t in a rush. Watching them from behind, he followed


    at a leisurely pace and came to stand at Celeste''s side.


    Celeste noticed him moving closer but said nothing.


    Jordyn, seeing here over, grabbed her hand, her eyes full of


    excitement.


    Celeste saw how these young kids could perform in front of so


    many people without stage fright. Listening to the lively music,


    she also found it interesting and watched it seriously.


    A momentter, a child identally bumped into her. She lost


    her bnce and was about to fall when Trevor pulled her


    sideways into his arm, steadying her.


    Celeste exhaled in relief. Once she was steady again, she looked


    at him and said, "... Thanks.” 1


    Trevor just smiled and said nothing. Then, he let go of her waist


    before she could say more.


    Some of the milkshake had spilled on Celeste''s hand.


    Noticing it, he handed her a handkerchief.


    “...Thanks, but no need.” She had brought tissues herself.


    He didn''t insist and withdrew his hand.


    "Have you been very busy these past few days?" Trevor asked.


    "It''s been okay.”


    Just then, Linda happened to being out of the cinema.


    Since it was gettingte, she nned to grab a milkshake and


    But while waiting for her drink, she turned her head and saw


    Trevor and Celeste standing side by side. 1<style>
