“ Okay . ”
“ I’ll hang up now . I have to work later , ” Celeste added .
“ Alright , bye , Mom ! ”
Celeste then ended the call .
After having breakfast , she went to the office .
Yesterday had been hectic , and today was just as demanding
But in the afternoon , she managed to leave a little early and went back to the Rodriguez residence to have lunch with Betty .
When she arrived , she noticed that Betty seemed a little down .
She glanced around the living room , and Jordyn was nowhere to be seen .
Jordyn was probably out having dinner with Trevor .
Celeste wasn’t fazed , but Betty noticed how attached Jordyn was to Trevor .
With a serious tone , she said , “ Cel , when work isn’t as hectic , you really need to spend more time with Jo . Otherwise … ”
Celeste nodded absentmindedly . “ I know . I will . Let’s eat first . ”
Betty sighed , letting the conversation end there .
After dinner , Celeste chatted for a bit with Betty before she went upstairs to rest .
At around 9:00 pm , she went downstairs , only to see the intercom from the security booth buzz , notifying them of a visitor .
Celeste glanced over and saw it was Trevor’s car .
She frowned . Before she could react , her phone rang .
It was a call from Jordyn .
Betty hadn’t gone to bed yet . Stepping out of her room and taking in the scene , she quickly grasped that Trevor- had just brought Jordyn back .
Hence , she quickly instructed the security to let Trevor in .
Celeste answered her phone . After a few words with Jordyn , she hung up .
Moments later , Trevor’s car rolled to a stop at the entrance of the Rodriguez residence .
Jordyn hopped out of the car happily . “ Mom , I’m back ! ”
Céleste wore a faint smile . Betty was very happy when she saw Jordyn .
The car door was still ajar , and Trevor remained seated inside .
Stepping out , he grabbed Jordyn’s forgotten backpack along with a cake box and headed toward Celeste and Jordyn .
Celeste remained silent .

It was only then that Jordyn realized she had left her things behind . “Thank you , Dad ! ”
Trevor hummed a reply , staring at Celeste and Betty . He greeted Betty , “ Madam Klein , good evening . ”
Betty nodded nonchalantly as a reply . With no other option , Celeste took the cake box from Trevor’s hand .
Jordyn was about to tell Celeste how good the cake tasted , but before she could finish , Celeste cut her off and said , “ Jo , say goodbye to your dad . ”
Jordyn didn’t dwell on it further . “ Is Dad leaving already ? ”
Trevor answered with a smile , “ Yeah . ”
“ Alright . Goodbye , Dad ! ”
“ Goodbye . ”
As his words fell , he gave Betty a slight nod before turning and heading back to his car .
Celeste , holding both the cake and Jordyn’s hand , led Jordyn inside without a second glance at Trevor .
Moments later , Trevor’s car pulled away .
As soon as she stepped into the house , Jordyn remarked happily , “ Mom , Granny , this is the cake Dad and I bought for you . It’s your favorite flavor – strawberry ! Go ahead and give it a try . ”
A subtle hint of Wynn’s perfume clung to Jordyn .
Celeste set the cake aside and said , “ I just ate , so I’m not really hungry . Let’s save it for later . ”
Betty nodded in agreement .
“ Oh … ” Jordyn mumbled .
