On Isabelle’s birthday , Celeste received a reminder from Trevor about their divorce .
How fitting.
Just then , Jason continued , “ Mr. Fleming said if you’re free on Monday , he’d like to meet at the courthouse at nine in the morning to handle the paperwork . Ms. Rodriguez , does that work for you ? ”
Celeste replied , “ I’m free Monday morning . ”
“ Alright , ” Jason said . “ I’ll let his lawyer know. ”
“ Okay . ”
Aside from Jason’s call , there were also several missed calls from Trevor .
He was likely calling for the same reason . So , she didn’t bother calling him back .
She spent the weekend at the Rodriguez residence .
On Monday morning , Celeste drove out a little after eight .
When she arrived at the entrance of the courthouse , Trevor was already there .
She hadn’t taken their marriage certificate with her when she moved out . So today , he’d brought both the marriage certificate and the divorce agreement with him .
Back when they registered their marriage , he hadn’t even waited for her afterward – he’d left coldly , without a glance at their certificate .
So , naturally, Celeste had been the one keeping it . She had nearly forgotten where she put it . Yet now , for the divorce , he hadn’t had to ask her at all – he’d managed to retrieve it on his
own .
When she arrived , Trevor got out of the car and handed her the divorce agreement . want to go over it one more time ? ”
“Do
you
The marriage certificate in his other hand was open . Their wedding photo was clearly visible .
It seemed he had been looking at it just before she arrived .
Celeste glanced away without a word . She took the agreement , turned , and returned to her car to read through it .

By the time she finished reviewing it , it was just about nine . Celeste got out of the car and headed straight into the court .
Trevor followed behind and entered with her .
They had brought all the necessary documents . There were no disputes , so the process went smoothly and quickly .
As they stepped out of the building , Trevor spoke , “ Once the mandatory waiting period is over , we’ll come back to finalize the divorce . ”
“ I know . ” Without looking at him , Celeste walked past his car and got into her own.
Trevor said nothing more and got into his own car .
Both vehicles started almost simultaneously and disappeared from the entrance in opposite
directions .
After leaving the courthouse , Celeste headed back to YodaVision . She and Matthias still had a meeting at the Fleming Group later .
When she arrived at the office , Matthias looked at the time and remarked , “ You’re late today. I thought you weren’t coming in . ”
“ I went to the court to file for divorce . ” Her tone was calm .
Matthias paused , then said , “ You finally divorced officially ? ”
“ Not quite . We still have to wait for the mandatory waiting period before it’s finalized . ”
“ Alright . ” After a beat , he asked , “ Are you still going to the Fleming Group ? ”
“ Yes . ”
Seeing the determination in her eyes , Matthias smiled . “ Alright , let’s go . ”
…
20 minutes later , Celeste and Matthias arrived at Fleming Group . By the time they entered the conference room , Trevor and the others were already there waiting . 2
When he saw them , Trevor greeted them politely . “ Mr. Yoder , Ms. Rodriguez , you’re here . ”
Celeste and Matthias responded with quiet nods and took their seats .
The meeting started promptly .
Celeste was professional and focused throughout , and Trevor also spoke with a pleasant demeanor as he interacted with Matthias and the others .

There were quite a few people in the conference room , but apart from Matthias , no one knew that Celeste and Trevor – who appeared to have little to no personal connection – had , just that morning , been to the courthouse together to file for divorce . 1
