Chapter 704
Even though she said that she was okay, Jordyn pressed her lips tightly together the moment she finished speaking.
Hannah noticed and was about to say something when Jordyn’s phone suddenly rang.
Jordyn glanced at it and froze when she saw it was Celeste calling. She instinctively reached out to answer, but then turned away suddenly.
Hannah saw everything and immediately understood that Jordyn’s emotional state had something to do with Celeste.
She had seen how attached Jordyn had been to Celeste lately. Although she didn’t know what happened, she felt that Jordyn wouldn’t be able to resist answering the call.
Smiling gently, she said without trying to persuade Jordyn, “I’ll go downstairs and warm up some milk for you.”
After Hannah left, Jordyn stared at the still-ringing phone. She knew that if she didn’t answer, the call would end on its own.
She shifted her gaze back to the phone and slowly reached out again. Just then, the call disconnected.
Jordyn’s heart tightened in panic as she stared at the phone. She hesitated for a moment before she couldn’t hold back and picked up the phone.
She waited for a while, but Celeste didn’t call again.
Jordyn pouted and hugged the phone in both hands. She finally couldn’t resist a moment later and called back.
The call was picked up quickly. “Jo, are you done with your shower?”
Jordyn hummed a response.
Although Celeste answered, she still felt a little sad. Her voice carried a hint of dejection as she asked, “Mom, why did you only call once just now and not call again?”
If she hadn’t called back, would her mom not have called again?
Celeste explained, “I thought you were showering. So, I was going to wait a bit before calling you again. What’s wrong? Why are you asking that?”
Jordyn felt a little better after hearing that. “It’s nothing.”
Celeste didn’t probe further. Instead, she explained the reason for her call.
“Granny’s friend brought back a lot of local specialties from her hometown. So, we’re going to cook some delicious dishes later, Do you want to come over?”
Jordyn was still a little down and didn’t really feel like going. She was about to
decline, but she changed her mind. “Yes, I do.”
“Alright. Will you have someone send you over?”
Jordyn pressed her lips together and couldn’t help asking, “Can’t you come pick me up, Mom?”
Celeste had already sensed that something was off in Jordyn’s tone. She paused for a moment before replying, “Okay. I’ll come get you then.”
Jordyn’s mood finally lifted a little after hearing that.
She waited at home for over half an hour before Celeste arrived.
Trevor had just gotten home as well at the same time. Seeing Celeste, he paused briefly before saying, “You’re back.”
Jordyn had just finished packing her things and came downstairs. “Mom’s here?”

Trevor glanced at the backpack on Jordyn’s back, then at Celeste, who clearly had no intention of going in. He immediately understood off that she was there to pick Jordyn up. .net
Celeste didn’t say anything to him. She just said to Jordyn, “Let’s go.”
Jordyn then looked at Trevor. “Isn’t Dad coming with us?”
