Chapter 166
Martha had also noticed that Celeste was no longer as proactive with Trevor as before .
Hearing this , she couldn’t help but sigh , giving Trevor a sidelong glance . “ It’s all your fault ! ”
Celeste had taken the initiative for so long , and he still hadn’t responded . Wouldn’t she eventually feel disheartened and withdraw ?
Trevor only smiled faintly without saying a word .
Celeste , on the other hand , remained silent as much as possible . Even after hearing this , she simply continued eating , showing no intention of speaking .
Before dinner was even finished , Trevor’s phone rang . He glanced at the caller ID , got up , and walked away to
answer it .
But he returned quickly .
After dinner , he told Martha , “ I have something to take care of , so I’ll be leaving first . ”
Jordyn was sharp enough to guess that the call had likely come from Wynn . She also wanted to go to the hospital to see her , so she said , “ Daddy , I want to go too . ”
“ Alright . ”
Martha added , “ Take Cel with you . Tomorrow is Saturday . It’s a good chance for you all to get out and relax . ”
Only then did Celeste speak . “ Grandma , I have to meet a friend later . ”
Martha hesitated . “ Alright then . ”
Jordyn had been worried that Celeste might follow them , but hearing this , she felt relieved . As they got into the car to leave , she said to Celeste , “ Mom , goodbye . ”
Celeste replied , “ Alright , goodbye . ”
The car door closed , and soon , Trevor’s car drove away .
Celeste also got into her car and left . Once she was out of the Fleming Manor , she made a call to Matthias while driving .
As soon as he answered , she got straight to the point . “ I’m divorcing Trevor . He just gave me a divorce agreement . He’s dividing some assets to me . I want a lawyer to review it and check for any legal loopholes . ”
Matthias was in the middle of dinner when he heard this .
Overjoyed , he immediately said , “ I’ll get you a reliable lawyer right away ! ”
Celeste chuckled . “ Alright . ” After hanging up , she drove home .
Meanwhile , at the hospital , Jordyn and Trevor were still in the ward talking with Wynn .
Miles , however , had stepped out into the hallway to make a call . He told Beck , “ Trevor is going through with the divorce . ”
Beck was currently out of town . Hearing this , he stopped in his tracks . “ What ? ”

Then , after a brief pause , he asked , “ Are you sure ? ”
“ Of course , I’m sure , I was there when it happened . What’s there to doubt ? ” Miles added , “ And Trevor didn’t give her custody of Jo either . ”
Beck gripped his phone tightly .
Miles continued , “ But- “ Before he could finish , Beck cut him off .
“ I have something to do . I need to make a call . ” Without waiting for a response , he hung up .
“ What’s so urgent ? ” Miles muttered .
Meanwhile , Beck had already found Celeste’s number . He hesitated for a moment before dialing .
At that moment , Celeste had just arrived home . Seeing his call , she casually answered . “ Mr. Harper , what’s the matter ? ”
“ You … ” He wanted to ask about her and Trevor , but it wasn’t his place to interfere
Even a simple “ Are you okay ? ” felt inappropriate , given his current position .
Celeste , however , assumed he was calling to arrange a meeting with Shanice .
Noticing his hesitation , she spoke first . “ If it’s about seeing Shanice , I have things to take care of tomorrow , so I might not be available . Could we do it the day after tomorrow or next week ? ”
