Chapter 680

    Celeste just hummed a response to Jordyn''s question.


    Jordyn blinked in surprise. "Wow, so many people are sending their wishes to you, Mom."


    Before Celeste could respond, she had already run over curiously to take a look. "This one is... from Kieran. This one doesn''t have a name."


    Just as she was about to check who sent the third bouquet, something suddenly urred to her. She turned back to Celeste and asked, "Mom, who''s Kieran? Is he your friend? It sounds like a man''s name."


    Celeste''s expression remained unchanged. She gave a soft hum and said, "He''s a friend of mine."


    Then she smoothly changed the subject. "Jo, do you want to go out today?"


    Jordyn''s attention was instantly diverted. She ran back to Celeste, took her hand, and said, "Dad and I came just to spend the day with you, Mom. We''ll go wherever you want to. Today, it''s all up to you."


    After saying that, she turned to Trevor. "Right, Dad?"


    Trevor smiled and looked at Celeste. "Where do you want to go?"


    Celeste fell silent for a moment before saying, "Let''s go watch a movie."


    It had been quite a while since shest went to the cinema.


    "Alright," Trevor agreed.


    After that, they started discussing which movie to watch.


    Jamie stood quietly at the side, watching them. Her gaze eventually settled on the three bouquets.


    Kieran, Caleb, and the unnamed man-all of them had sent red roses.


    She could tell at a nce what their intentions were in sending flowers to Celeste. She believed Trevor understood it too. But yet...


    Even knowing that so many men were pursuing Celeste, Trevor had stood there just now without the slightest change in expression.


    Once they had more or less decided, Celeste, Trevor, and Jordyn headed out for a meal, then went to watch a movie.


    After dinner and the movie, Trevor and Jordyn sent Celeste back to the Rodriguez residence.


    As for the three bouquets, he never brought them up to Celeste at all.


    The project Celeste was working on with Trevor and Quincy soon entered a new phase.


    That day, several business partners flew in from Andostan to discuss the next steps in their coboration.


    The meeting went well. They had even brought a few bottles of fine wine from Andostan, and two of them were opened during dinner.


    Celeste had a little to drink as well.


    Trevor nced at her and suddenly said, "This wine tastes a bit sweet, but it has a strong kick."


    He was reminding her to drink less.


    Celeste paused. Kieran also froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Trevor to deliberately remind her.


    "Thanks for the reminder," Celeste replied calmly.


    Among the partners was someone with a background in Al, who greatly admired Celeste. He pulled her into a conversation about recent breakthroughs while urging her to drink.


    Celeste didn''t want to drink too


    In''t wan


    much, but the man was overly


    enthusiastic. Kieran had been trying


    to help to block the drinks for her


    but unfortunately, someone among the partners from Andostan happened to know him and event had a good rtionship with his parents.


    So, he ended up being tied up himself and was made to drink quite a bit as well.


    Later, the others managed to divert


    that partner''s attention, and Celeste no longer had to keep drinking. But


    just as Trevor had said the wine was great, yet its aftereffect was strong.


    Celeste hadn''t actually drunk much, but her alcohol tolerance was low. By the time the gathering was ending, she was already drunk.


    Along with her, Kieran and a few of the partners from Andostan were drunk as well.


    Quincy and Trevor, on the other hand, remained quite sober.


    Seeing that Celeste was drunk, Quincy turned to Trevor. "Are you taking her back, or should we call someone to pick her up?"
