Chapter 86
Tears welled up in Celeste’s eyes , and her mind momentarily went blank . But she quickly snapped back to reality and hurriedly said , “ Thank you . Then what-
Before she could finish asking what the conditions were , Trevor moved his cigarette away and reached out to wipe away a tear that had slipped down her cheek . “ Get some rest ”
Celeste froze , watching his retreating figure , momentarily forgetting how to react . When she gathered her thoughts , she was unsure what to do next .
When Trevor told her to rest early , did that mean he expected her to stay the night ?
Though she had moved out , they hadn’t officially divorced , Staying over for one night wouldn’t be a big deal .
As for sleeping in the master bedroom … she’d better not .
Calming herself , she picked up her belongings , along with a change of clothes and some toiletries , and went to Jordyn’s room instead .
That night , she stayed in Jordyn’s room .
The next morning , Celeste woke up before seven .
Shortly after , Jordyn also woke up . She clung to Celeste’s neck , acting spoiled . “ Mom , can you take me to school today ? ”
Celeste agreed to her request .
After freshening up , they went downstairs for breakfast .
A little while later , Trevor entered the dining room and sat across from them .
Jordyn greeted him cheerfully , “ Good morning , Dad ! ”
“ Morning , ” Trevor responded , glancing briefly at Celeste but saying nothing . After sitting down , he silently started eating his breakfast .
Celeste also remained quiet . Even though Trevor had agreed to help her , that didn’t mean anything had changed between them .
Their relationship remained the same as always – distant .
After breakfast , Celeste dropped Jordyn off at school and headed to work .
Since attending the tech expo , she and Matthias had developed many new ideas . However , they had been too busy with the InnovaTech partnership to explore them in detail ,
Now that they finally had the time , they began solidifying their plans and pushing things forward .
As a result , the workload was heavy today .
Celeste had planned to order takeout and work late into the night . But her phone rang around 6:00 pm while she was still buried in work too busy to place a dinner order .
It was Trevor
She glanced at the screen , then excused herself from the meeting room to take the call . “ Hello ? ”
“ Grandma’s here , ” Trevor said . “ Come home early . ”

Celeste was taken aback . Before she could respond , Trevor had already hung up .
After regaining her composure , she returned to the meeting room and informed Matthias , “ Something’s come up -I need to leave early . Send me a summary of the meeting’s progress and any issues that arise . I’ll review them later . ”
That way , she wouldn’t hold back the team’s progress .
Matthias nudged her . “ Got it . Now go . ”
Half an hour later , Celeste drove back to the villa .
Trevor’s usual car was already parked outside . He was home .
She stepped inside and , sure enough , saw Trevor sitting on the couch with Martha and Jordyn , chatting
He was the first to notice her arrival , but he didn’t say anything .
Martha , however , stood up with a smile . “ Cel , you’re back ? ”
“ Yes , ” Celeste replied .
Martha patted her hand warmly . “ You must be hungry . Dinner is almost ready . Let’s eat first . ” “ Alright ”
This time , without needing Martha’s prompting , Trevor sat down next to Celeste .

Martha kept placing food on Celeste’s plate as they ate , sighing “ You’ve lost weight again . You really don’t know how to take care of yourself . ”
