As Celeste stepped out of the kitchen , she caught sight of Trevor lounging on the couch in the living room , engrossed in a newspaper . He briefly glanced her way before going back to his reading .
Celeste paused . In the past , she would have sat nearby and spent time with him without disturbing him . But now , they had nothing to say to each other .
Reflecting on this , she turned and headed upstairs , with Trevor making no attempt to stop her . Celeste felt a twinge of confusion . She had expected him to confront her and Matthias about “ bullying ” Wynn . Yet , he’d remained silent .
Jordyn woke up as Celeste went upstairs . She looked weak and came out of the room to look for Celeste . “ Mom , I’m hungry . Is the chicken noodle soup ready ? ”
Celeste replied , “ It’s almost done . Are you still having a fever ? ”
Jordyn grinned . “ Not anymore . ”
Celeste felt relieved and returned to the kitchen . After five or six minutes , she emerged with a smile , announcing , “ Jo , the chicken noodle soup is ready . ”
Celeste ladled the chicken noodle soup into a bowl and glanced at the door . She was surprised to see Trevor approaching as well .
Jordyn asked , “ Mom , why is there only one bowl ? Dad is eating with us . ”
Celeste was unaware that Trevor wanted to eat . Before she could speak , Hannah smiled and said , “ I’ll get another bowl . ”
Celeste hadn’t intended to eat it herself , but she’d decided to prepare a larger batch . Since Jordyn didn’t eat much , there was more than enough for both Trevor and Jordyn .
Once Celeste served the chicken noodle soup , she quietly sat down to enjoy her meal . Meanwhile , Trevor removed his watch , delicately holding the spoon to stir the soup . His elegant manners were pleasing to observe .
After Jordyn took a bite , a satisfied smile spread across her face . “ I haven’t had this in ages . It’s so delicious ! ”
Hannah chuckled . “ You can eat it whenever you want . ”
“ Yeah . ”
Celeste listened and paused without speaking . Trevor , sitting across from her , was also silent .
Jordyn was delighted . Suddenly , an idea struck her . She asked coquettishly , “ Mom , could you sleep with me tonight ? ”
Celeste planned to decline at first . Yet , upon noticing her pale , bloodless complexion , she agreed . “ Alright . ” Jordyn had one bowl of soup , and Trevor didn’t eat much either . The chicken noodle soup in the pot was left unfinished when they left the dining room .
Jordyn liked to stay clean . She insisted on showering despite having just recovered from a fever . Celeste was worried she’d catch a cold again , so she went in to supervise her .
After her shower , Celeste hesitated before entering the master bedroom . Trevor was not there . She had expected him to have removed all her belongings . Yet , when she looked around , she realized the room remained just as she had left it .

Many of her daily essentials remained exactly as she remembered , untouched by time . It felt as though she had never truly left . She stepped into the cloakroom and slid open the door , discovering that her clothes were still hanging in their usual spot .
However , it was possible that Trevor didn’t want to alarm Martha . Hence , he didn’t let anyone remove her belongings , as they weren’t officially divorced yet . She set her thoughts aside , grabbed her pajamas and a towel , and went to Jordyn’s room .
Jordyn sat on the bed , engrossed in her tablet . Upon noticing the clothes in Celeste’s hands , she found it odd . ” Mom , are you planning to take a shower in my room ? ”
Celeste replied , “ Yeah . ”
Shortly after she stepped into the bathroom , Trevor entered Jordyn’s room .
