Thinking of that , Celeste replied , “ Got it . I’ll be back soon .

On Friday , Betty called , asking her to come home for dinner So , Celeste took Jordyn to the Rodriguez family home .
However , only Betty was at home . The others were either out socializing or still in school .
Betty didn’t know that Jordyn had returned to the country . Seeing Celeste bring her along , she was pleasantly surprised .
Jordyn was quite close to Betty and quickly won her over , making her very happy .
That night , Celeste and Jordyn stayed at the Rodriguez family home .
The next morning , Celeste got up early to make pancakes .
Watching her skillful movements , Betty couldn’t help but sigh , remembering how Celeste had never done housework before she got married .
Celeste knew what Betty was thinking and smiled . “ Cooking helps me clear my mind . I actually enjoy it . ”
Celeste had gained a little weight since the last time she was home and was no longer looking as thin . Seeing this , Betty felt somewhat relieved .
After making the pancakes and chatting with Betty for a while , Celeste went upstairs . Jordyn was already awake and washing up .
As Celeste gathered up Jordyn’s pajamas to put them in the wash , she noticed her tablet light up with a message from Wynn .
“ Jo , are you awake ? I’ll be back this afternoon . Let’s have dinner together tonight , and I’ll take you out to play tomorrow , okay ? ”
Celeste glanced at it briefly before looking away and putting the pajamas in the washing machine .
By the time she returned , Jordyn was already holding her tablet . When she saw Celeste , she quickly moved it behind her back , trying to keep her from seeing the conversation with Wynn .
Celeste didn’t expose her and simply said , “ The pancakes are ready . Let’s go downstairs for breakfast . ”
Jordyn excitedly jumped off the bed . “ It’s been so long since I’ve had Mom’s pancakes . Yay ! ”
During breakfast , Betty asked happily , “ Jo , what do you want to eat for dinner ? Granny will have someone make it for you . ”
Jordyn knew that Betty didn’t like Wynn .
Hearing this , she rolled her dark eyes and said in a small voice , “ Granny , Dad is coming home tonight . I want to go back for dinner … ”
Betty was reluctant to let her go since she hadn’t seen Jordyn in a long time . However , over the past two years , Jordyn had become very attached to Trevor . So , hearing this she didn’t think much of it .
Celeste knew Jordyn was lying but pretended not to notice . She placed a serving of food onto Betty’s plate and said , “ It’s fine , I’ll stay here with you . ”

A wife staying at her family home when her husband returned from a business trip seemed unreasonable .
But since Trevor had never treated Celeste well , Betty had no interest in seeing her care about him . If Celeste wanted a divorce , she would support her wholeheartedly .
So , hearing this , Betty smiled . “ Good , you’re always so considerate . ”
Jordyn had been worried about how to find an excuse to ditch Celeste and meet Wynn . Now that Celeste had decided to stay , she instantly felt relieved .
When Jordyn was about to leave , Betty prepared a bunch of her favorite snacks for her .
But Celeste pushed them back , telling her to save them for Ivan’s children instead .
When Jordyn left , Celeste didn’t personally send her off . Instead , she contacted Trevor’s butler and asked him to send someone to pick her up .
Betty watched this and found it a little strange , but she didn’t dwell on it .
