Celeste paused for a brief moment and took Tucker’s test papers over .
Tucker had a good academic record and a strong foundation Celeste skimmed through the questions and gave him a bit of guidance , and he understood right away .
“ Whoa , you’re amazing ! Thanks , Celeste ! ”
Once it clicked , Tucker casually crouched at the coffee table and began answering the questions .
As soon as he finished , he kept away the test papers and pens . “ Okay , I can get back to my phone now ! ”
Celeste smiled , set aside the newspaper she had almost finished , and , feeling a bit more refreshed , decided to head upstairs for a book to kill some time .
Then , Tucker leaned in and whispered , “ My dream girl was in another car race recently , Celeste , and she was even cooler this time . I got a video . Wanna watch ? ”
The smile on Celeste’s face faded a little . “ I’ll pass , I’m not really into car racing ”
“ Oh ? ”
Tucker was slightly surprised when he heard that . He brought it up because he thought Celeste was interested in it . “ You were watching the race through the binoculars for so long that day . I really thought you were into it too . ” Celeste replied , “ I wasn’t watching the race . I just saw a few people I know . ”
Since she clearly wasn’t interested , Tucker dropped the subject . He turned back to Wynn’s race replay , commenting as he watched , “ I heard she’s not participating in the next race . I missed seeing her race , though . When will I get to see her again if she’s not racing this time ”
Tucker sighed
“ I’m heading upstairs to get a book , ” Celeste interrupted .
“ Okay ! ” Brimming with energy , Tucker responded , “ Glad you’re doing better , Celeste , but you should still take it easy ! ”
“ Thank you , I will . ”
As soon as she finished her sentence , she stood up and went upstairs .
Trevor wasn’t in the room when she went back to the room .
Celeste noticed the book Trevor had taken . It was on the table . She went to take it and put it back into her bag .
She used to bring one to two books over whenever she came to stay the night .
But she didn’t manage to find the books in the room . Thinking that they might be in Jordyn’s room , she turned and walked to Jordyn’s room .
Jordyn didn’t close the door .
Just as Celeste was approaching her room , Jordyn’s voice drifted out . “ I’m so bored , Wynn ! Stay and chat with me for a bit . ”
Celeste stopped in her tracks and leaned against the wall .

Seconds later , Jordyn chuckled. “ Don’t worry , Wynn . I’ll make sure to have the soup later !
“ Okay , goodbye , Wynn ! ”
She even blew kisses to Wynn .
Jordyn didn’t leave her room right away after hanging up the call .
Celeste’s throat was still uncomfortable from being sick . She let out a few coughs before stepping into Jordyn’s room . That was when Jordyn finally looked up .
She was sprawled on the bed , swinging her legs back and forth in delight . When she saw Celeste , she hopped out of bed . “ Why are you here , Mom ? ”
“ I’m looking for a book , ” Celeste replied in a flat tone .
Jordyn walked to her and grabbed her hand . “ Nana said the soup is ready . Do you want to head downstairs together , Mom ? ”
Celeste withdrew her hand . “ I’ve had the soup already . If you haven’t yet , go get yours downstairs . ”
After finishing the call with Wynn , Jordyn was in such a good mood that she didn’t pick up on anything off about Celeste .
“ I’ll head downstairs now then ! ”
Celeste only murmured a soft reply .
