Celeste said calmly, "I''ve got something to take care of. We''ll
talkter when I''m back."
Kieran was about to agree, but then he suddenly remembered
that she didn''t have any external meetings scheduled today.
And she rarely ever left work midway for personal reasons
He''d been quietly keeping track of her divorce situation, so he
knew that she still hadn''t finalized it yet because the other party
was too busy.
With that in mind, realization hit him, and he blurted out before
he could stop himself, "You''re... going to the courthouse?"
Celeste hadn''t expected him to guess so urately. Her steps
paused for a moment, then she gave a quiet hum and turned to
Watching her walk away, Kieran’s heart tightened. He couldn''t
help wanting to follow her.
He''d always been curious about "that man’.
But after taking just two steps, he stopped himself. 2
Ever since she''d learned about his feelings, Celeste had kept her
distance whenever possible unless it was strictly work-rted
If she knew he''d followed her out of curiosity, she would
definitely be angry.
So, in the end, he stayed where he was and went back to his
About ten minutes after Celeste arrived at the courthouse,
Trevor rushed in. 1
"Sorry," he said, slightly out of breath. "The meeting ran over by<fnefd9> This text is hosted at FιndＮovel</fnefd9>
more than ten minutes. I''mte.”
Seeing the travel fatigue in his appearance, Celeste could tell he
really had been busy.
She didn''tment, only said evenly, "Let''s go in and get it
Trevor nodded. “Okay.”
Throughout the process, his phone didn''t stop ringing.
When it came time to officially sign, Celeste even had to wait
several minutes for him to finish taking a call before they could
He really was squeezing in this divorce between meetings
When everything was finally done and the divorce application
was submitted, Celeste was about to leave when Trevor said, "
I''ve got some things to handle. I''ll contact youter when I have
time.” 3
There was nothing left for them to contact each other about. 2
To her, that line was just polite filler.
She gave a faint hum, tured, and got into her car, driving away
from the courthouse. +
Over the next two days, Celeste was buried in work.
On Thursday, she went to the Fleming Group for another
This time, Trevor didn''t show up.
But when she and Lazarus were heading out for lunch, they
happened to see Trevor downstairs together with Wynn.
Wynn was holding his arm, the two standing close andughing
as they chatted with someone. +
Lazarus, seeing their intimate demeanor, couldn''t help but smile.
"Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket, you two seem as affectionate as
Since they were obviously talking business, no one went over to
interrupt.
Wynn, however, noticed Celeste almost immediately. Her gaze,
as always, was cold and condescending. +
She and Trevor had been inseparable for the past few days. He
still treated her extremely well. 1
And now, he''d even gone through another round of divorce
procedures with Celeste for her. 1
That was proof enough. #
Even if Trevor had once developed some feelings for Celeste, it
was clear that Wynn was still the one he truly cared for, the one
he couldn''t let go of.
No one could shake her ce in his heart
Sensing Wynn''s gaze, Celeste didn''t bother to respond
Just then, Trevor also spotted her.
But before he could say anything, Celeste had already turned
away, expression unreadable, and got into the car with Lazarus
and the others, leaving without looking back. 9<style>
