Chapter 271
Beck had barely ended the call when Shanice came running with a light wand in her hand . “ Uncle Beck , can I call Jo on video ? ”
After a quick pause , Beck nodded . “ Sure . ”
The call went through , and Jordyn picked up almost instantly .
The moment the call connected , Shanice beamed . “ Jo , look have a light wand ! ”
Worried that Jordyn couldn’t see it clearly , Shanice passede phone to Beck and ran a few steps away to show the whole thing .
They were in their garden , and it was dimly lit. Hence , the light wand stood out even more .
Jordyn was still taking it in when Shanice ran back , grinning . “ I got this as an Ember Festival gift ! Isn’t it cute ? ”
There were many things from two or three years ago that Jordyn could no longer remember .
But seeing Shanice with the light wand triggered a few fleeting memories .
“ Yeah , it’s cute , ” she said . “ I think I used to have one too .
‘ Really ? Don’t you have a light wand now ? ”
Jordyn shook her head . Watching Shanice run around with the light wand actually looked fun .
Shaking her head again , she blurted out , “ I’m going to ask my dad to get me one ! Don’t hang up – we’ll talk in a bit ”
Before Shanice could reply , Jordyn dashed upstairs with her phone .
A day before the Ember Festival , a small part of the Flemings ‘ extended relatives would be at the Fleming Manor to celebrate the Ember Festival .
And now , Trevor was busy mingling with others .
When he saw her running over , Trevor excused himself and carried Jordyn a little further away . “ What’s wrong ? ” he asked .
“ Shanice got a light wand as a gift . I want one too . ”
“ A light wand ? ”
“ Not those I have in my room . ”
With that , Jordyn held up her phone . “ Shanice , show my dad your light wand . ”
“ Oh … ”
Shanice took a few steps back , revealing the whole thing .
After Trevor examined it , he thanked Shanice , “ Okay , I got it . Thank you , Shanice . ”
“ You’re welcome . ”
Trevor then asked Beck , who was still holding the phone , “ Got any plans later ? ” Beck hesitated briefly . “ Might go for the countdown . You ? ”

“ I’ll be heading out , too , ” Trevor said .
Beck wasn’t surprised .
After all , given the significance of the night , there was no way Trevor wouldn’t go find Wynn .
Beck didn’t press further and changed the subject . “ Were you tied up earlier ? ”
“ Yeah , I was still entertaining guests , ” Trevor answered .
Beck understood .
Being the head of the Flemings , the Ember Festival was never an easy time for him .
“ I’ll let you ge
“ I’ll let you get back to it , then . ”
“ Alright . ”
Before handing the phone back to Jordyn , Trevor smiled . “ Enjoy the Ember Festival . ”
“ You too . ”
Trevor returned the phone to Jordyn . “ You two chat ; I’ll have someone buy a light wand for you .
“ Okay ! ” Jordyn replied happily .
Then , Trevor walked away ,
Beck , too , gave the phone to Shanice so she could chat with Jordyn .
When they had talked about their plans earlier , he hadn’t asked where Trevor was going , just as Trevor hadn’t invited him to tag along .
That alone made it clear – Trevor didn’t want any company tonight .
