Sering Kieran standing beside Celeste , Beck didn’t acknowledge him and instead spoke directly to Celeste , “ been a while . ”
Celeste nodded politely , exchanging small talk . “ Been busy lately ? ”
Beck replied , “ Yeah , a bit . I’ve been on business trips out of town recently – just got back this morning .
“ It’s
Even though he had been traveling , he had still learned almost immediately that Trevor and Celeste were finally heading to the court to formalize their divorce .
It had already been over half a year since they signed the divorce agreement last year . Now , at last , they were about to be officially divorced . 2
Just a little more than twenty days left before the divorce was finalized , then he could finally-
Noticing that Tanner was still talking to Celeste , Beck tucked away the emotion in his eyes . After briefly greeting her and Matthias , he didn’t linger or interrupt further .
Miles was chatting with Wynn and Linda . When he saw Miles wave him over , Beck hesitated for a second before walking over .
Wynn greeted him calmly , “ When did you get back ? ”
“ This morning . ”
Hearing this , Miles asked , “ What about Trevor ? He’s been out for a few days now – when’s he coming back ? ”
Just as Miles finished his sentence , Wynn’s phone rang .
She glanced at the caller ID and smiled , clearly in a good mood . Raising her phone , she said with a grin , “ He just got off the plane . ”
With that , she looked down and replied to Trevor’s message
Seeing how close she and Trevor seemed , Beck took a sip of wine and then turned to glance at Celeste – his lips curving into a faint smile .
At that moment , Celeste looked up from her conversation and met his gaze .
Seeing him smiling and seemingly in good spirits , she didn’t think too much about it , gave him a polite nod , and then looked away .
Half an hour later , the banquet was coming to an end .
Celeste and Matthias were preparing to bid farewell to the host , Ronan Sinclair . As they made their wa goodbye , they happened to run into Beck and Miles ” group .
er to say
They were all important guests to Ronan , so when he saw they were leaving , he insisted on personally escorting them downstairs .
As the group headed down , even though Celeste and Wynn had both spoken during the banquet , they never exchanged a single word with each other .
Linda , who was still irritated at the sight of Celeste , kept glaring at her back the whole way .
Ronan hadn’t initially noticed the tension between them , but on the way down , he started to pick up on the odd

atmosphere .
Still , he chose not to pry .
Once they reached the ground floor , just as Celeste and Mathias were about to take their leave , they saw Trevor getting out of a car .
Ronan chuckled , “ Mr. Fleming , didn’t you say you were busy ? What brings you here ? ”
Linda quickly cut in , casting a glance at Celeste and raising her voice , “ Trev just got back from a trip . He’s here to pick Wynn up ! ”
Ronan laughed , “ Ah , so it’s a show of affection , then . ”
Trevor gave Celeste and Matthias a nod in greeting .
They just responded with a nod .
Thet Matthias said to Ronan , “Mr. Sinclair , we’ll be heading off now . ”
Ronan replied , “ Alright . Let’s get together again sometime
Celeste and Matthias nodded and said nothing more as they turned and left .
Once in the car , Matthias was tempted to complain , but remembering that Celeste was about to divorce Trevor , he figured there was no point wasting time and kept quiet .
Just then , Celeste’s phone rang .
It was a call from Caleb .
Celeste looked at the screen and , after a moment’s thought , chose not to answer .
Matthias noticed and couldn’t help commenting , “ Caleb’s honestly a great guy . You’re getting divorced anyway- are you really not going to give him a chance ? ”
Celeste put the phone down and shook her head . “ I don’t feel that way about him right now . Agreeing to date him just because he likes me – that would be irresponsible . ”
“ But at least try , right ? Just because you don’t like him now doesn’t mean you won’t like him later . ”
Celeste shook her head again . “ If I fall for him in the future , then I’ll deal with it in the future . ”
Matthias sighed . “ Alright ”
The next day , not long after Celeste arrived at the office , her phone buzzed with a string of messages .
She paused when she saw them . They were all bank transfer notifications .
And the person transferring the large amount of funds was Trevor .
Seeing the endless string of deposits , Celeste quickly realized something – Trevor was formally carrying out the divorce agreement and transferring to her the cash assets he had promised .
They hadn’t even officially filed for divorce yet , and he was already handing over the agreed – upon property ?
She was proven right not long after .
