Hearing Caleb’s invitation , Celeste smiled and said , “ Okay ,
They followed the crowd forward
Just as they reached the railing , brilliant fireworks exploded across the riverbank , drawing gasps and laughter from the crowd , though the sounds were quickly drowned out by the thunderous bursts .
Many people took photos , while others made wishes .
Noticing that Celeste was simply watching in silence without doing anything else , Caleb asked , “ Do you want me to record a video for you ? ”
Celeste shook her head , “ No need , just watching is enough
Caleb didn’t press further .
At that moment , Wynn’s gaze swept in their direction .
They were several meters apart , but Caleb’s tall stature and striking appearance made him easy to spot .
Having met him a few times before , they were at least acquaintances .
Wynn was about to mention him to Trevor , who was holding Jordyn , and go over to say hello – when she suddenly saw the person standing partially obscured behind Caleb ,
It was Celeste .
Her smile froze instantly .
Why were they here together ? Events like this were usually enjoyed by family members or couples .
Aside from a single dance at a banquet , Celeste and Caleb had barely any interaction . So , why were they here together ?
She looked again and confirmed that it was indeed just the two of them .
“ Wynn , look ! It’s so beautiful ! ” At that moment , Jordyn noticed Wynn looking elsewhere .
Not wanting her to miss the spectacular scene , she bent down , cupped her hands around Wynn’s ear , and excitedly shared her joy .
Wynn turned back and smiled . “ Yes , I see it . ”
Trevor glanced at her and noticed she seemed distracted . “ What’s wrong ? ”
Wynn quickly replied , “ Nothing . ”
Jordyn was so captivated by the fireworks show that she hadn’t looked in Celeste’s direction , and thus , didn’t notice her .
But when Trevor turned to speak to Wynn , his eyes happened to land on Celeste .
Since Caleb was talking to her , Celeste’s gaze was also turned in their direction .
Their eyes met across the distance .
Celeste froze for a moment , pressed her lips together , and looked away .
Just then , Caleb turned back toward the fireworks , his profile becoming visible to Trevor .

Even with only a side view , Trevor recognized him instanti
Seeing Trevor take notice of Caleb and Celeste , Wynn said , I didn’t expect them to come watch the fireworks together . ”
“ Mm , ” Trevor responded indifferently and withdrew his page .
Wynn , seeing his complete lack of reaction , smiled – but then her expression subtly shifted .
The idea of Caleb and Celeste being here together made the smile at the corners of her lips fade . Her eyes drifted back to Celeste .
At that moment , Caleb also glanced her way .
Noticing that Wynn had seen him , he gave her a polite nad
Wynn returned the gesture with a smile .
As acquaintances , Caleb would have gone over to greet her normally . But considering the apparent tension between Celeste and Wynn , he chose not to .
Wynn furrowed her brows slightly before slowly looking away .
After that one glance , Trevor never looked at Celeste again ,
As for Jordyn , she was too busy happily taking pictures and watching the fireworks with Trevor’s phone to notice that Celeste was standing nearby .
