Chapter :548
Xavier had seen it too. But both of them only caught a glimpse
of the woman’s back. They didn’t see the face clearly. 4
Even so, Jorge instinctively assumed the figure was Wynn. After
all, Wynn was indeed very close to Trevor’s daughter. 2
After glancing a few more times and seeing Jordyn happily
throw herself into that person’s arms, he didn’t look again
Turning to Xavier, he said, “Let’s go.” 4
Xavier had also assumed that person was Wynn. Hearing Jorge
say that, he was a little surprised. “You’re not going to say hi?”
Jorge didn’t explain. He simply said, “Let’s go,” ina calm tone. 2
And so, they left.
On the other side, Celeste hadn’t noticed them at all. 1
Meanwhile, at the Locket residence, it was already five in the
afternoon.
Wynn picked up her phone and called Trevor, wanting to ask him
out for dinner. The call went through, but no one answered.
20 minutes passed, and there was still no reply. She held the
phone in silence for a while, then put it down without calling
After a moment, she went downstairs to get something to drink
Just as she reached downstairs, Lilian and Erin happened to
return from their outing.
Wynn greeted them. “You’re back.”
Lilian hummed a response while setting her bag down, then
noticed Wynn was still wearing the same casual pajamas from
that morning.
“You’ve been home all day? Not going out?”
“No.” 1
Neither Lilian nor Erin paid much attention to the fact that they
had run into Celeste and Trevor at the restaurant earlier.
They had simply assumed the three of them had gone out to eat,
together and naturally figured Wynn must already know.
So, they didn’t mention it in front of her.
Still, seeing her daughter bored and alone at home—clearly in a
low mood-—Lilian couldn’t help but think of that family-of-three
Her heart ached alittle for Wynn. 2
But she didn’t press the topic. Instead, she gently patted her
daughter’s shoulders and comforted her softly, “Just give it a
little more time. Things will get better.”
Once Trevor and Celeste officially divorced, Lilian thought, even
if they had a child together, there’d be no more reason for them
to see each other privately. ©
Wynn thought her mother was referring to the divorce, which,
admittedly, was weighing heavily on her mind these days. 1
She didn’t say much, just answered quietly, “Mm.”
When she went back upstairs and saw that Trevor still hadn’t
replied, she hesitated for a while and then couldn’t help calling
him again.
Still no answer.
After a pause, she called Jordyn. But Jordyn didn’t pick up either.
At that very moment, Celeste and Trevor were still busy with the
winemaking. Afterward, they stayed for dinner at the orchard.
Jordyn had had a wonderful day.
There were plenty of fun activities around the orchard, and she
was eager to stay overnight, especially after hearing that the
stars would be especially bright tonight.
She wanted to stay and watch them from the rooftop.
However, Celeste didn’t want to stay. “I didn’t bring any change
of clothes,” she said. “Next time.”
But Trevor spoke up before she could end the discussion. “If you
need clothes, Peter can prepare some.”
“Yeah!” Jordyn chimed in quickly, eyes shining. “Dad and I didn’t
bring any either, but someone can get them for us—it’s really
Celeste couldn’t say anything. She glanced at Trevor, frowning
slightly. 2
Trevor poured her a glass of water and said with a faint smile, “
You’ve been busy with work lately, haven’t you? Why not take
this chance to relax a bit?” 17
Celeste frowned again. 5
Was that really the issue here? 10
