Chapter 268
“Dad! Wynn!”
As soon as she exited the airport and saw Trevor and Wyn Jordyn let go of Hannah's hand and ran toward them,
throwing herself into their arms.
Once in the car, Jordyn rummaged through her little backpack and handed over the small trinkets she had
bought during her trip.
“Dad, Wynn, | got you gifts!”
Wynn took them and gently ruffled her hair, smiling “Thank you, Jo.”
That evening, since Martha was being discharged from the hospital, Trevor and Jordyn were heading back to the
manor for dinner.
After dropping Wynn off at her home, Trevor instructed the driver to turn the car toward the Fleming Manor.

On the way back, Trevor was busy handling work affairs. So, Jordyn didn’t disturb him and played by herself.
When they arrived at the manor, Jordyn hopped out of the car, slung her little backpack over her shoulders, and
ran toward the house, calling out, “Mom! Mom!”
Trevor put away his laptop and got out of the car. Hearing this, he said unhurriedly, “Your mom isn’t here.”
Jordyn froze in her tracks and turned back to look at him. “Huh? Mom's not here?”
“No.”
“She’s still busy?”
Trevor ruffled her little head with his large hand. “Maybe you should call and ask her.”
“Okay.”
Lately, every tshe called, her mom never picked up.
It wasn’t so bad when she was at home, but when she was abroad, with neither Trevor nor Wynn around-though
they called and video-chatted with her every day-it wasn’t the sas having them by her side.
She had felt lonely and homesick.
In the first few days overseas, the person she missed most was her mom. She called every day, but her mom
never answered.
Eventually, she got used to it and figured her mom was probably too busy to take her calls. So, she stopped
calling.
Before returning home, she had hoped her mom would cto pick her up at the airport.
But since Trevor and Wynn had said they would be there, Jordyn hadn't called Celeste. She had assumed that
once she arrived at the manor, Celeste would definitely be there.
But now, thinking about it, Jordyn suddenly didn’t want to call anymore. She figured that even if she did, her
morn still wouldn't have tto answer.
At that moment, all the excitement of coming hfaded away.
Trevor crouched down slightly, pinched her cheek lightly, and raised an eyebrow. “Are you crying?”

Jordyn pursed her lips, turned her face away, and muttered, “No, I'm not!”
Trevor smirked. “So, you've given up? You don’t want to call your moin anymore?” Jordyn didn’t respond. After a
long pause, she whispered reluctantly, “N No...
She still wanted to call.
Trevor chuckled but said nothing more. He simply reached out, picked her up, and said, “Let's go inside.”
Jordyn wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled into his warth, broad embrace. Finally, she felt a little
better. Inside, the Fleming family was waiting for them to start dier. When they walked in, all eyes turned toward
them. Especially Martha-her face instantly lit up with joy when she saw Jordyn. “Jo, you're back? Chere, let
Jordyn climbed down from Trevor's arms and ran over. “Nana!”
Then she greeted the others. “Grandma, Aunt Teagan, Uncle Tucker.”
nt. Tucker, on the other hand, was delighted. He got Queenie and Teagan responded, but their tones were
indifferent. Tucker, on the other hand, was delighted. He got up, hugged her, and started playing with her.
Jordyn giggled as he teased her.
Then, out of nowhere, Tucker tilted his head and asked, “By the way, Trey, where's Celeste?”
