Chapter 153
Chapter 153
Celeste dozed off for a few minutes in the car . She couldn’t rest well . As she opened her eyes and noticed Beck pulling his hand back , she didn’t dwell on it and simply asked , “ Are we there yet ? ”
“ Almost . ”
Two minutes later , their car pulled up in front of the hospital . Beck got out of the car with Shanice in his arms . Do you need someone to send you back ? ” he asked Celeste .
She shook her head . “ It’s fine . I can drive back . ”
Beck didn’t insist .
When Celeste almost reached home , her phone rang . It was a text from Trevor . He texted , “ Grandma will be visiting your Granny later , and she asked us three to go to the Rodriguez residence together . ”
She had to respond to the text .
Hence , she gave Trevor a call .
He picked up right away . “ Hello ? ”
“ Pll go and pick Jordyn up now , ” Celeste said .
She didn’t think Trevor would want to go back to the Rodriguez residence with her , and that was why she said that .
After all , he had been coming up with different kinds of excuses whenever she asked him to head back with her .
Besides , her family members probably weren’t keen on seeing him either .
Trevor paused for two seconds and went on , “ Okay . ”
With that , Celeste hung up the call and drove to his villa .
When she arrived at the villa , Jordyn was already waiting for her , carrying a small backpack .
As soon as Jordyn spotted Celeste , she snuggled close to Trevor , staying still and avoiding eye contact .
Thus , Celeste thought Jordyn was still upset at her for not bringing her to ski last week .
Trevor looked up , staring at Celeste . “ Didn’t you sleep well last night ? ”
Celeste didn’t expect him to ask her that at all .
It was probably because she hadn’t put on any makeup , and her hair was a bit messy , making her exhaustion a little to obvious .
Nonchalantly , she hummed a reply . She didn’t plan to explain it in detail . Just then , Peter asked , “ Are you having trouble sleeping ? We have some great incense here . I’ll leave it in your room later . ”
Celeste then explained , “It’s fine , Peter . I don’t have trouble sleeping . I went camping last night , and I wasn’t used to sleeping in a tent . ”
Peter furrowed his brows . “ Camping in this cold winter ? I hope you don’t catch a cold , though . ”
Celeste replied with a smile , “ It’s fun , actually . You can have snowball fights , build snowmen , and play hide – and- seek around the bonfire . ”
Everyone else at the campsite last night did have a wonderful time .

And she was quite envious of them .
Upon hearing that , Trevor put away the newspaper . His gaze lingered on her , filled with thought ..
Jordyn , on the other hand , became even more upset .
The last time she got mad , Celeste didn’t even bother to cheer her up .
How could Celeste not take her camping when it was such a fun thing to do ?
Jordyn dragged her backpack and jumped off the couch . With a snort , she bolted up the stairs .
Seeing that , Celeste frowned . Before she
could speak , Trevor said in a flat tone . “ Come back here , Jo . ”
Trevor’s tone showed no signs of anger .
Still , Jordyn instantly froze in place .
She pursed her lips , turned around , and stood frozen .
Trevor glanced at her .
Seconds later , Jordyn lowered her head and trudged back , dragging her small backpack .
Yet she didn’t walk to Celeste .
Instead , she went to Trevor and tugged at his hand . “ Can you come along too , Dad ? ” she asked sweetly .
