Chapter 198
It was only natural for Jordyn to be close to her father .
Besides that , Tilda also noticed how the other parents reacted while watching their spouses play games with their children .
When things were going well , they laughed and clapped excitedly . If things weren’t going well , they got anxious and cheered them on .
Anyone could tell that these families were together – a united front .
But when it came to Celeste , even though she smiled while playing with her child , something felt different .
It was as if there was a gap between her , her husband , and their daughter – like she wasn’t really part of them .
Then she remembered the last parent – teacher meeting . Celeste’s daughter clearly had a great relationship with that other woman .
So , it made sense that Celeste didn’t quite fit in with her husband and daughter now .
After all , whose child wouldn’t feel distant from them if they were close to the very person who had disrupted their marriage ?
Thinking about it , she figured Celeste must be feeling awful inside . But looking at her , she didn’t know how to offer any words of comfort .
Celeste noticed the sympathy and hesitation in her gaze .
She knew Tilda had probably pieced together what had happened . So , she just smiled .
The hardest part of it all was already behind her .
She knew that the only reason she was here today was because Wynn wasn’t available . That was why Trevor and Jordyn had asked her to come instead .
So yes , she did feel a bit like an outsider today .
Just then , Trevor and Jordyn came back .
Jordyn ran up to see the video Celeste had recorded .
Celeste sent it to both her and Trevor . “ I sent it to you . You can watch it on your tablet . ”
Jordyn beamed . “ Okay ! ”
After three rounds of games , the parent – child activities were finally over .
Jordyn had won two championship trophies . Holding them in her arms , she eagerly asked Trevor to take pictures of her with her prizes .
Trevor took several shots .
Then Jordyn turned to Celeste . “ Mom , take some pictures of me and Dad too ! ”
Celeste nodded . “ Alright . ”
At her daughter’s request , she took four or five photos of Jordyn and Trevor together .
After sending the photos to Jordyn , Trevor suddenly said , “ I’ll take some of you and Jo too . ”

“ Yes ! Mom , come here ! ”
“ Okay . ”
Trevor took her phone and snapped some photos of her and Jordyn .
Once they were done , Celeste took back her phone. A moment later , it started ringing .
It was Matthias calling .
“ I need to take this , ” Celeste said .
Jordyn responded cheerfully , “ Okay , Moin ! ”
Trevor simply nodded . “ Mm . ”
She talked with Matthias for about ten minutes about work .
When she turned back , she noticed Trevor and Jordyn seemed to be on a video call with someone , She didn’t walk
over .
Instead , she focused on the work files Matthias had just sent her .
A little while later , Jordyn waved her over . “ Mom ! Come take a big group photo with us , and then we can go for lunch ! ”
Celeste walked over , and the three of them , along with the other parents , posed for a group picture . Donna also took individual photos of each family .
With that , the school’s parent – child event officially came to an end .
Just as Celeste was about to leave , Trevor went over to retrieve his coat . Then he turned to her and asked , “ Where do you want to go for lunch ? ”
Before Celeste could answer , Jordyn excitedly raised her hand . “ I want barbecue ! The place we went to last time ! ”
Trevor pinched her cheek . “ That place is too far . You still have class in the afternoon – we won’t make it in time . ”
“ Oh … ” Jordyn thought for a moment , then brightened up again . “ Then seafood ? ”
Trevor didn’t answer right away . Instead , he turned to Celeste . “ What do you want ? ”
