There were so many profitable projects, and yet they couldn''t
get a piece of it—all they could do was watch. Luther was just
envious, though; he wasn''t reallyining.
After all, as long as Trevor and Wynn''s rtionship stayed solid,
there''d be plenty of chances to make moneyter. There was no
need to rush. 3
Everyone there understood that.
Besides, there was something else they were more concerned
about now.
From the news reports, it seemed Trevor still had a lot to handle
and wouldn''t be able to return home anytime soon. 2
Patricia couldn''t help feeling a little worried. "Trevor... He won''t
miss the end of the decision period, will he?" +
Even Lilian frowned, which was rare.
She wasn''t exactly panicking, but dragging things out like this
wasn''t good for them either. 1
Erin also couldn''t help asking Wynn, "Wynn, what did Trevor say?"
Snapping back to her senses, Wynn answered honestly, "He said
he''s not sure."
The people from both the Lockets and the Shaws grew even
more uneasy.
Finally, Patricia sighed. "Once he''s done with work, he''ll
definitely rush back as soon as he can. Hopefully... He makes it
in time. There''s still half a month left, after all.”
Wynn lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Since Trevor wouldn''t be returning anytime soon, Celeste figured
he''d reach out when things settled to finalize their divorce. 1
So, in the days that followed, she just went about her usual
Besides, work had been ridiculously busytely. She barely had
time to think about anything else.
By the time she caught her breath, another week had already
flown by. Now there was only about a week left before the
decision period ended. +
Celeste nced at the time, then at Jordyn, who was lying by the
bed ying a game.
She called out, "Jo."
Jordyn looked up. "Mom? What is it?"
Celeste hesitated before asking, "Did your dad... say when he''s
Jordyn shook her head. "I just asked him tonight. Dad said not
Celeste fell silent.
"Mom?"
“It’s nothing. It''s gettingte. Go to bed early."
"Okay!"
Even though Jordyn said her dad wasn''ting back anytime
soon, Celeste still wanted to know exactly when.
After Jordyn fell asleep, she sent Trevor a message. "When are
youing back to the country?"
Because of the time difference, she didn''t get a reply until noon
the next day.
“Still can''t confirm yet."
There weren''t many days left. If he couldn''t confirm now, then
when could he?
Just as she was about to ask, another message came in. "I''ll let
you know as soon as I can confirm my time."
The same line again. 1
Celeste put down her phone and didn''t reply.
Trevor didn''t message her again either.
After that, they didn''t contact each other at all.
Maybe he really was too busy with work, The following days
passed in silence between them.
Until the veryst day of their divorce decision period
When Matthias saw Celeste show up at the office early in the
morning, he knew immediately she hadn''t finalized her divorce<fna170> Read full story at Find~Novel</fna170>

Celeste hoped so too.
But as the day dragged on, she checked her phone over and over
again. By the time the clock hit five, there was still not a single
message from Trevor. ?<style>
