After the people from Youtopia recognized Betty , they noticed that the Lockets and the Shaws didn’t say anything about her presence .
It became clear to them that the Locket family didn’t want the past between the Rodriguez and the Locket families to be widely discussed .
Seeing this , even though some people recognized Betty , none of them stepped forward to greet her .
Instead , some shifted their attention to Wynn and Calvin .
One guest even smiled and said to Erin right in front of Celeste and Betty , “ Madam Locket , your grandchildren are so outstanding – in both looks and demeanor . You are truly blessed . ”
Indeed , Wynn and Calvin were the pride of both Erin and the entire Locket family .
Erin didn’t spare Celeste another glance .
Upon hearing the compliment , she looked lovingly at Calvin and Wynn and smiled , “ You’re exaggerating . ”
Whatever she said next , Celeste didn’t hear . She and her family had already moved past the crowd and walked
away .
As for Trevor , after the initial moment she saw him , she hadn’t looked at him again .
Jorge and Miles didn’t expect to see Celeste here either , and certainly not to witness the awkward moment where she was mistaken for Wynn .
They silently watched her leave .
At that moment , Beck’s secretary arrived with a gift box and handed it to Erin .
When they found out that Beck couldn’t attend the birthday banquet in person , both the Lockets and the Shaws were rather disappointed .
The Shaw family , in particular , was more disappointed than the Locket family – and also anxious .
After all , Linda had caused a mess some time ago , and both Ruby and Patricia were desperately hoping that a marriage between Linda and Beck could turn things around .
But now , Beck hadn’t come in person .
Miles was genuinely surprised to hear that Beck wasn’t attending . He hadn’t heard of Beck having any special plans for today .
Even Wynn didn’t expect Beck to miss such an important event .
She frowned unconsciously . 1
Trevor , on the other hand , showed no reaction . 2
Meanwhile , Celeste and her family arrived at the wedding banquet hall . After sitting for a short while , her phone
rang .
It was a call from Jordyn .
Celeste didn’t plan to answer , but with Betty sitting beside her – who saw the name on the screen and , thinking

about how Trevor and Wynn had appeared at Erin’s birthday banquet while Jordyn was nowhere to be seen – she guessed that Trevor had left Jordyn at home .
Feeling sorry for the girl , Betty urged Celeste to pick up the call .
Celeste had also thought of what Betty had guessed .
Not wanting to ignore Jordyn’s call in front of Betty , she go up and found a quieter spot to answer .
Jordyn was thrilled Celeste had actually picked up .
She quickly said , “ Mom , this Sunday is Mother’s Day ! I got you a present ! Can I come see you on Sunday ? ” 1
Mother’s Day … It really was a special occasion .
Celeste paused for a few seconds before gently replying , “ Okay . ” Then she asked , “ Are you home alone right now ?

Jordyn responded cheerfully , “ Yeah ! Dad hasn’t come back yet . ”
Celeste didn’t say anything in reply .
Technically speaking , Jordyn was Erin’s great – granddaughter .
Wynn claimed to love Jordyn dearly , yet didn’t even think of bringing her along to Erin’s birthday celebration .
Was that what genuine care and love looked like ? ( 1 )
It was such a simple truth ; did Trevor really not see it ?
Then again , given his feelings for Wynn , even a flimsy excuse from her would probably be enough to make him believe her without question .
