“ Lottie ? ”
“ Sorry , Cel . I have to leave town tomorrow for something , so I won’t be able to go with you to pick out a birthday gift for your grandma . ”
“ It’s fine . I’ve already bought something . ”
She had never been to this antique shop before . And she originally came just to try her luck , thinking that if she didn’t find anything suitable , she could continue shopping with Lottie the next day .
She didn’t expect to find the perfect gift .
Lottie was pleasantly surprised . “ Really ? That’s great ! ”
Celeste smiled . “ Mm . ”
Then , Lottie suddenly said , “ Oh , right , Cel . A few days ago , you told me you saw the Locket family . I did some digging for you over the past couple of days .
“ It turns out they really are planning to settle in Baumond . Apparently , they’ve been house – hunting these past few days . ”
Hearing the mention of the Locket family , Celeste’s smile faded slightly . “ Alright , I got it . ”
“ As for Wynn’s mother’s side of the family , I heard they’ve already picked out a house . They’ll be moving in soon . Supposedly , they’ve even started sending out invitations for a housewarming banquet . ”
“ Alright , I got it . ”
After hanging up , Celeste drove back to the city .
Next week was her grandma’s birthday . On Sunday , Celeste took Jordyn back to the Rodriguez residence to discuss the banquet preparations with Ivan and his wife .
Trevor didn’t return that Sunday , so Celeste stayed at the villa .
He only came back on Tuesday .
Since she wouldn’t be coming back to this villa in the next few days , she took the two brocade boxes with her before leaving .
She had initially thought the gifts left on her vanity table were for her .
But after seeing what was inside , she realized that Trevor wanted her to hand them over to her grandma on her birthday .
After dropping Jordyn off at school , Celeste headed to the office .
YodaVision was launching three to four new projects at once , making the new week even busier for both Celeste and Matthias .
Trevor had likely returned on schedule since Jordyn hadn’t called her in the past two to three days .
On Wednesday night , Celeste and Matthias were having dinner with a client .
Just as they were about to enter the private dining room , she saw Trevor with Wynn , Harvey , Erin , and the others . This time , both Erin and Wynn’s mother , Lilian , had come to Bautnond . Naturally , as their soon – to – be grandson-

Chapter 118
in – law and son – in – law , Trevor had to show some courtesy
Look at that he had just returned from a business trip yesterday , and today , he had already made time to have dinner with them .
He was so attentive when it came to Wynn .
Last time , Erin and the others didn’t notice her . But this time , all of them saw her .
They hesitated as if they wanted to say something , but perhaps because Trevor was there , they ultimately remained silent .
As for Wynn and Trevor , due to the way they were standing , they didn’t see her .
Without any expression , Celeste withdrew her gaze and walked away .
Erin and the others saw her leave but didn’t follow .
Over an hour later , after finishing dinner , Celeste and Matthias were leaving the restaurant when they ran inta Wynn and her group again .
They were also in the parking lot , seemingly about to leave
However , Trevor was no longer with them – he had likely already left .
Before Celeste and Matthias could react , their client , Oscar Fletcher , spotted Wynn and her family and enthusiastically walked over .
“ Ms. Locket , Mr. Locket ! ”
