---- Chapter 572 Celeste withdrew her gaze after some time and was lowering her head to check her phone while nibbling her snack slowly when a young man suddenly walked over. "Hi, excuse me... Could I get your number?" Celeste looked up and replied calmly, "Sorry, it''s not a good idea. 1 The man paused, then asked, "Is it because you already have a boyfriend?" Celeste didn''t want to continue this conversation. She frowned slightly, just about to reject him outright, when Trevor and Jordyn returned. "Mom!" Jordyn called out happily.


    Celeste answered softly, "Mm." The young man heard Jordyn call her "Mom" and saw her throw herself into Celeste''s arms. Then he nced at Trevor. With his striking looks andposed presence, Trevor was clearly not an ordinary man. And Jordyn looked very much like him... ---- Realization dawned on the young man. He quickly muttered, * Sorry," and walked away. 3 Jordyn looked at Celeste curiously. "Mom, who was that man?" "Someone I don''t know." Trevor watched all of this without a word.


    After putting away the kite, he finally asked, "Let''s have a barbecueter?" It was obviously directed at Celeste. So, she responded lightly, " Sure." The ingredients had already been prepped in advance, so starting their own barbecue wasn''t troublesome. During the meal, Trevor was mostly focused on tending to Jordyn''s needs. Jordyn loved fish. After tasting it and finding it nice, she said to Celeste, "Mom, this fish is really good. You should try it!" Before Celeste could reply, Trevor had already put some onto her te. 1 Celeste paused. "...


    Thanks." "No problem." ---- After that, Trevor frequently added food to her te. 2 But it all appeared very natural-more like part of putting new ingredients onto the grill-so Celeste didn''t refuse. Most of the food they''d brought were things she and Jordyn liked, and all the ingredients were top-grade. To be honest, Celeste found herself enjoying the barbecue quite a lot. After eating, Trevor continued taking care of Jordyn. Washing her hands, taking her to the restroom, exining different bugs and nts she liked... Celeste only needed to help asionally, so it wasn''t tiring for her.


    Between her and Trevor, words were scarce. Around two in the afternoon, Jordyn got tired and quickly fell asleep. Trevor carried her back into the tent. After tucking her in, he looked toward Celeste standing outside the tent. "Not going to rest a bit?" Before she could answer, he added, "You should get some rest." Then he stood up and stepped out of the tent, giving her space, ---- and went to sit under the shade umbre. Celeste stood there, nced at him. Just then, he also looked her way. Before she spoke, he said, "You should stay with her for a while.


    If you suddenly leave and she wakes up without seeing you, she''ll be sad." 7 Celeste paused. She hadn''t said anything yet, but he already knew exactly what she had been thinking As she was processing this, Jordyn suddenly murmured "Mom... "inher sleep. 2 Celeste froze for a second. Before she could react, Jordyn suddenly opened her eyes-half awake-and reached toward her sleepily with her hands. "Mom, sleep with me..." 8<style>
