“Okay.”
“I'll hang up now. | have to work later,” Celeste added.
“Alright, bye, Mom!”
Celeste then ended the call.
After having breakfast, she went to the office.
Yesterday had been hectic, and today was just as demanding
But in the afternoon, she managed to leave a little early and went back to the Rodriguez residence to have lunch
with Betty.
When she arrived, she noticed that Betty seemed a little down.
She glanced around the living room, and Jordyn was nowhere to be seen.
Jordyn was probably out having dinner with Trevor.

Celeste wasn't fazed, but Betty noticed how attached Jordyn was to Trevor.
With a serious tone, she said, “Cel, when work isn’t as hectic, you really need to spend more twith Jo.
Otherwise...”
Celeste nodded absentmindedly. “I know. | will. Let's eat first.”
Betty sighed, letting the conversation end there.
After dinner, Celeste chatted for a bit with Betty before she went upstairs to rest.
At around 9:00 pm, she went downstairs, only to see the intefrom the security booth buzz, notifying them
of a visitor.
Celeste glanced over and saw it was Trevor's car.
She frowned. Before she could react, her phone rang.
It was a call from Jordyn.
Betty hadn't gone to bed yet. Stepping out of her room and taking in the scene, she quickly grasped that Trevor-
had just brought Jordyn back.
Hence, she quickly instructed the security to let Trevor in.
Celeste answered her phone. After a few words with Jordyn, she hung up.
Moments later, Trevor's car rolled to a stop at the entrance of the Rodriguez residence.
Jordyn hopped out of the car happily. “Mom, I'm back!”
Céleste wore a faint smile. Betty was very happy when she saw Jordyn.
The car door was still ajar, and Trevor remained seated inside.
Stepping out, he grabbed Jordyn’s forgotten backpack along with a cake box and headed toward Celeste and
Jordyn.
Celeste remained silent.

It was only then that Jordyn realized she had left her things behind. “Thank you, Dad!”
Trevor hummed a reply, staring at Celeste and Betty. He greeted Betty, “Madam Klein, good evening.”
Betty nodded nonchalantly as a reply. With no other option, Celeste took the cake box from Trevor's hand.
Jordyn was about to tell Celeste how good the cake tasted, but before she could finish, Celeste cut her off and
said, “Jo, say goodbye to your dad.”
Jordyn didn’t dwell on it further. “Is Dad leaving already?”

Trevor answered with a smile, “Yeah.”
“Alright. Goodbye, Dad!”
“Goodbye.”
As his words fell, he gave Betty a slight nod before turning and heading back to his car.
Celeste, holding both the cake and Jordyn’s hand, led Jordyn inside without a second glance at Trevor.
Moments later, Trevor's car pulled away.
As soon as she stepped into the house, Jordyn remarked happily, “Mom, Granny, this is the cake Dad and |
bought for you. It’s your favorite flavor-strawberry! Go ahead and give it a try.”
A subtle hint of Wynn's perfclung to Jordyn.
Celeste set the cake aside and said, “I just ate, so I'm not really hungry. Let's save it for later.”
Betty nodded in agreement.
“Oh...” Jordyn mumbled.
