Not only did Patricia and Wynn think of this , but so did the others .
Linda immediately scoffed , “ I said it before – she’s not that capable . You just wouldn’t believe me . ”
Ruby laughed and added , “ It’s just that we never expected she’d be so bold , daring to fake it in front of so many people . Right , Wynn ? ”
Wynn didn’t reply , but a faint smile slowly curved on her lips . 1
At that moment , Linda cheerfully added , “ So , that means after that bitch gets divorced , it probably won’t be easy for her to marry into the Yoder family . ”
If Celeste’s actual abilities were inflated and her chance of marrying into a wealthy family was slim , then whether it was her or the Rodriguez family , their chances of truly rising up would be even slimmer .
With that thought , Patricia , Linda , and the others all felt much better . ( 3 )
Once they got into the car , Patricia smiled and said , “ Next Wednesday is the last day of the cooling – off period . Once Trevor returns from overseas , they can basically go and finalize the divorce . ” 7
Linda perked up with excitement , “ Exactly ! ” 2
Even though she wasn’t directly involved , she still felt thrilled .
After all , even if she’d been addressing Trevor as her “ brother – in – law ” every day and believed that Wynn and he were deeply committed , the thought that Trevor and Celeste were still legally married had always bothered her deep down .
Patricia and Lilian felt the same .
Even though they knew Trevor and Wynn had a stable relationship the fact that he was still legally married to Celeste made them uncomfortable .

If they , as outsiders , were bothered by the relationship between Trevor and Celeste , then Wynn herself certainly felt it even more intensely. 1
Before , because the relationship between Trevor and Celeste had been terrible , Wynn thought herself clearly superior in every aspect .
She was convinced there was no way Trevor would ever develop feelings for Celeste .
So at the time , the legal bond between them didn’t bother her much .
But ever since Celeste had shown real ability in her career and especially after seeing how Trevor’s attitude toward her had noticeably changed , this legal marriage began to gnaw at her . 1
Just as she was thinking about that , Linda asked , “ By the way , Wynn , when is Trev supposed to come back from his business trip ? ”
That question immediately reminded her of how Trevor had deliberately gone to see Celeste yesterday , and how he hadn’t contacted her at all since leaving on this trip .
Just then , a wave of frustration surged within her .
Every year around this time , business overseas was always especially busy . It wasn’t unusual for Trevor to be working day and night , too busy even for a phone call …
Maybe she was just overthinking it .
Thinking that , Wynn replied lightly , “ Not sure yet . ”
“ Not sure? ” Linda frowned . “ You don’t think he’ll still be overseas when the cooling – off period ends , do you ? ”

Patricia didn’t seem concerned . She said , “ When work gets busy , scheduling can be unpredictable . Whether he makes it back by Thursday or a few days later – what does it matter ? ”
As long as the divorce happens , she didn’t mind waiting a few extra days .
Linda nodded . “ Alright then . ”
Wynn didn’t say anything after hearing that .
After returning home , she called Trevor . But once again , no one answered .
