Chapter :556
On the very last day of the decision period, Trevor still didn’t
make it back to the country.
Just like that, the divorce decision period quietly passed.
Celeste thought he’d probably return after a few more days, but
the next day, while she was discussing work with Matthias,
Jordyn suddenly called and said that Trevor was back,
Matthias let out a disbelieving laugh. “Seriously? Of all times, he
comes right after the decision period ends? He’s doing this on
purpose, isn’t he?”
Celeste put down her phone and didn’t respond.
On purpose? Of course not. It was probably just a coincidence.
Matthias knew it too, but he couldn’t help feeling irritated.
He muttered, ‘Why not just file for divorce directly then,
Though, from filing to the first hearing, it’ll take at least a month
Before they could continue, someone knocked on the door, and
the topic was dropped for the moment.
Meanwhile, in the group chat with Trevor, Miles, Beck, and Wynn,
Trevor suddenly tagged the three of them
“Dinner tonight?” 2
Miles reacted first. “Wait— you’re back? When did you come
Trevor replied, “Just landed.”
Miles sent three ellipses in a row to express his speechlessness,
then followed with a long text
“I literally called you the day before yesterday, two days before
your divorce decision period ended, asking if you could make it
back in time. You said no and that you’d still be tied up for a
“I figured you wouldn’t be back anytime soon, and now here you
are! Couldn’t you have come back just one day earlier? The
divorce decision period with Celeste’s already over!” 3
Like Miles, Wynn had also noticed the message in the group the
Moment Trevor sent it. However, she just didn’t say anything.
When he was abroad, she’d tried calling him several times.
Maybe he was too busy or just didn’t want to pick up, but he
never answered any of them. 5
He did return one call, though.
And just like Miles, she had called him the day before yesterday
‘to ask when he’d be coming back.
His answer was exactly the same.
So, she too had assumed he’d wait a few more days before
making a show of returning. 1
She never expected— 1
Reading the exchange between Trevor and Miles, a flicker of
sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
Then, Trevor replied in the chat. “There was a change in my
schedule, so I came back two days early.”
Miles didn’t reply.
A moment later, Trevor tagged them again. “So, are you all free
Miles replied, “Of course I’m free.” 2
It had been quite a while since they’d all hung out together.
Since Trevor finally had some time, Miles was naturally happy
and even helped him tag Beck and Wynn.
But right after tagging, he paused and deleted the message.
Then, he typed, “Wait, tagging me and Beck is fine, but do you
really need to tag Wynn in the group?”
Beck had just finished work.
When he saw the messages and realized Trevor was back, he
froze for a moment before replying, “Trevor, I’m free. See you
tonight.” 2
Trevor replied, “Okay.”
Wynn was actually curious to see how Trevor would respond to
Miles’s teasing.
But he completely ignored it—no reply at all. 2
Staring at the screen, Wynn gripped her phone tightly and didn’t
move for a long time.
Then her phone lit up.
