In short , Trevor expected Celeste to take care of Jordyn over the weekend .
For the past two years , Trevor had been the one to spend more time with Jordyn , regardless of the reasons . Whether it was due to personal plans or professional commitments making it inconvenient for Trevor to bring Jordyn along , the responsibility now fell to Celeste when he wasn’t available ,
Celeste returned to the villa
During dinner , she asked Jordyn , “ Where do you want to gothis weekend ? ”
Jordyn thought for a moment , then shook her head . “ There’s nowhere in particular I want to go . ”
Seeing her expression , Celeste knew Jordyn wasn’t uninterested in going out but would rather spend her weekend with Trevor and Wynn . With neither of them around , nothing seemed to excite her .
Celeste didn’t call her out on it and instead asked , “ How about horseback riding ? ”
Jordyn’s face lit up at the suggestion . She hadn’t ridden in a long time and was genuinely intrigued . She nodded eagerly . “ Yes ! ”
The next day , Celeste took Jordyn to the equestrian center .
After changing into her riding attire , Celeste heard Jordyn chatting with the instructor , Samuel Kraft . With her back to Celeste , Jordyn said , “ My dad and one of my aunts are amazing at horseback riding . They’re so cool ! It’s such a shame they couldn’t come today . ”

Standing by the door , Celeste didn’t interrupt .
Samuel noticed her first and greeted , “ Ms. Rodriguez . ”
Celeste nodded . Samuel asked , “ Shall I call someone else over to assist you ? ”
“ Sure , ” Celeste replied .
Though she knew how to ride , it had been three or four years since she had ridden properly . Back when Jordyn was younger , Celeste had brought her here often , but her focus had always been on Jordyn rather than riding herself .
Jordyn was led away by Samuel , while Celeste moved to a separate arena .
The instructor assigned to her initially thought she was a novice . Watching Celeste mount the horse with practiced ease , he couldn’t hide his surprise . “ You’re an experienced rider , Ms. Rodriguez ? ”
“ Somewhat , ” Celeste replied .
After a short guided session , she took the reins into her own hands . With a snap of the whip , the white horse let out a sharp neigh and galloped forward .
After completing several laps , Celeste finally dismounted and went to check on Jordyn .
As she approached Jordyn’s area , she suddenly stopped in her tracks about ten yards away .
It was Trevor and Wynn .
They had come to the equestrian center too .
Jordyn was joyfully clinging to Wynn’s leg . Her excitement was evident as the three of them chatted happily . Soon , Jordyn and Wynn mounted a horse together , with Jordyn sitting in front and Wynn behind her . Trevor ,

meanwhile , rode another horse beside them .
The two horses walked side by side , their riders laughing and talking . From a distance , they looked every bit like a happy family of three .
Celeste watched their figures fade into the distance . They didn’t notice her , and she eventually averted her gaze , turned around , and left .
She changed out of her riding clothes , took a sip of water , and sat for a while .
Not long after , her phone rang . It was Trevor .
Celeste answered , “ Hello . ”
“ I’m at the equestrian center too , ” Trevor said from the other end of the line . “ I’ll take Jo from here . ”
“ Alright . ” Celeste replied .
As soon as she finished speaking , she heard the familiar , decisive click of Trevor hanging up .
Celeste had been waiting for this call . With Jordyn’s plans now clear , she picked up her bag and left the equestrian
center .
