On Friday night, Celeste got a call from Jordyn, saying she
wanted toe over.
At that time, Celeste was having dinner at the Rodriguez
residence.
Before she could reply, Betty had already agreed on her behalf.
The next day, Celeste went out with Jordyn and the rest of the
Rodriguez family. They didn''t get back until evening. 1
Jordyn was still full of energy. After ying all day, she was still
excited on the way home. Holding her phone, she leaned toward
Celeste and said, "Mom, I want to go again next time to y
with the little turtle!”
The photos she showed were of them catching and bathing the
turtle together,
Celeste took one look. "Mm."
Jordyn wasn''t tired, but Celeste definitely was. Maybe sensing it,
Jordyn sat quietly and said, "Mom, you can rest if you''re tired.”
Then she went right back to fiddling with her phone—looked like
she was chatting with someone.
Celeste nced at her, then looked away.
Jordyn had sent a bunch of photos from the day to Trevor.
At that moment, Trevor had just finished dinner with Wynn.
When he received the photos, he opened them right away. 1
Wynn came out of the restroom and stopped for a second when
she saw him looking at his phone.
In the photos were both Jordyn and Celeste, but it was Celeste
who caught the eye. She was smiling brightly, and she looked
stunning. +
It seemed like Trevor was just looking at the photos of Jordyn,
but Wynn could tell he had zoomed in, and the person he was
actually looking at was Celeste. 5
When he noticed hering back, he put down his phone. "
You''re back."
"Mm. Let''s go.” Wynn looked calm as ever. Picking up her bag,
she asked casually, "Those were from Jordyn? She looks really
happy today.”
“Yeah. They went to a resort,” Trevor replied while walking out of
the private room. As he did, he sent a voice message to Jordyn."
The photos are great. But no matter how happy you are, you still
have a ss tomorrow."
Jordyn pouted when she heard the message, but still replied, "I
Then Wynn suddenly took his hand. "Trevor, there''s somewhere I
want to go tomorrow. Will youe with me?"
He paused. "When?"
“In the morning," she said, smiling softly. "Can you skip seeing
Jordyn just this once?" 8
Trevor didn''t ask where she wanted to go, nor did he seem to
think it was a problem. "Okay."
After that, he sent Jordyn another voice message, telling her he
couldn''t take her to ss because he had to do something.
When Jordyn got the message, she turned to Celeste. "Mom,
Dad said he''s busy tomorrow and can''t take me to ss. Can
you take me instead?"
Celeste frowned, but before she could answer, Jordyn was
already cuddling into her arms, pleading softly.
Betty, on the other hand, thought this was a perfect chance for
Celeste to win Jordyn over. “Cel, since you''re free tomorrow, just
take her," she said.
Celeste sighed. *...Fine."
The next moming, she took Jordyn to ss.
Afterward, Jordyn had another activity, and Celeste stayed with
her for that too.
That evening, they went back to the Rodriguez residence for
dinner. After the meal, Jordyn was supposed to return to
Trevor''s ce, as it was closer to school.
But when she called him, he said he was out of town and<fn8d12> Follow current nov?ls on Find?Novel</fn8d12>
wouldn''t be back tonight. Then, he told her to stay at the
Rodriguez residence instead. 12<style>
