Trevor still had a flight to catch.


    After the parents'' meeting ended, he and Celeste got ready to leave.


    Jordyn waved happily. "Bye, Dad! Bye, Mom!"


    Watching Jordynughing and ying with her ssmates, Celeste and Trevor nodded before turning to leave side by side.


    They hadn''t gone far when Trevor received a call.


    That morning, Celeste hade in Trevor''s car. Earlier, she had already asked her driver to bring her own car over.


    By the time Trevor finished the call, Celeste was already walking straight toward her car, about to get in.


    Just then, Trevor spoke up, "See you next time."


    Celeste frowned slightly, said nothing, got into the car, and drove off.


    When she returned to the office, Matthias asked, "Finished Jordyn''s parents'' meeting?"


    "Mm."


    Matthias still had a social engagement, so he didn''t chat long and left soon after.


    Celeste was about to return to her office when she ran into Kieran.


    "Ms. Rodriguez," Kieran greeted.


    Celeste nodded. Knowing he had something to discuss, she let him follow her into the office.


    After they finished talking about work, Kieran looked at her and suddenly asked, "You... Have you two made up? Are you not getting a divorce anymore?"


    That morning, the fact that Celeste''s "husband and daughter" had gone to the airport to pick her up had already spread through their department.


    She''d also heard that other employees were saying her rtionship with her husband seemed pretty good-nothing like a couple on the verge of divorce...


    But before this, she had clearly been preparing for one.


    Celeste paused, not expecting him to ask that.


    She knew about Kieran''s feelings for her, and she knew she shouldn''t give him any hope. Still, she answered honestly, "No."


    Hearing that, Kieran let out a sigh of relief. But he couldn''t help asking, "But I heard your rtionship seems pretty goodtely."


    Celeste had already guessed that the misunderstanding came from Trevor picking her up at the airportst week.


    "No. Our rtionship isn''t good."


    After saying that, she looked at Kieran again and added, "But I—"


    Kieran knew what she was about to say.


    He cleared his throat lightly and cut her off. "I''ll go back to work first."


    Celeste rubbed her temples.


    Still, she knew Kieran understood what she meant.


    So, she didn''t say anything more.


    Two dayster, Trevor returned from his business trip.


    Jordyn said, "Mom, I''m going back


    to Dad''s ce Once you''re donen et


    with Work hurry up and move back home, okay?"


    Celeste paused, then spoke with difficulty. "...Okay."


    After Jordyn left, Celeste nced at her phone.


    Trevor still hadn''t contacted her to discuss the divorce.


    Actually, she more or less knew why.


    That day at Jordyn''s parents''


    meeting, when the teacher


    mentioned Jordyn''s reaction to their


    divorce, the look Trevor gave her


    seemed as though he was


    considering dying the divorce for their daughter''s sake.


    She had thought he would bring it up when they parted that day.


    But he hadn''t said anything.


    It seemed he still hadn''t fully made up his mind about whether to postpone the


    divorce because of Jordyn.


    Celeste put down her phone.


    Another two days passed, but Trevor still didn''t contact her.


    That day, when she went to the Fleming Group, she happened to see him.


    Matthias leaned close to her ear and


    == He''s back from his t e this afternoon too. 10


    ask you to


    go get the divorce?


    Celeste shook her head.


    he


    Just then, Trevor looked over at her. Meeting his gaze, she paused.


    Before she could react, someone called out to him, and he withdrew his gaze.


    Celeste lowered her eyes.


    She was about to refocus on work when her phone suddenly rang.


    It was a message from Trevor.


    "Let''s not get divorced for now?"
