Chapter 135

It wasn’t until noon , when it was time for lunch , that Matthias and Celeste finally got a chance to take a breather ..
At that moment , Celeste’s phone suddenly rang . It was a message from Lottie , asking if she wanted to go skiing with her in the afternoon .
Celeste replied via voice message , “ I have things to do today , so I won’t be going . You go ahead and have fun . ”
“ Alright then . ”
In the evening , while Celeste stepped out of Zachary’s study to get some water , Lottie sent her another message .
This time , it was a few photos . And the people in the photos were none other than Trevor , Wynn , Jordyn , Beck , and Shanice .
Then , Lottie sent another message : “ My friends and I were having such a great time skiing , but then we ran into them . Totally ruined the mood ! ”
Celeste only clicked on one photo . Once she confirmed who was in them , she didn’t bother looking at the rest .
Seeing Lottie’s complaint , she calmly replied with a voice message , “ Just enjoy yourselves and ignore them . ”
Lottie quickly sent another voice message : “ We might stay until the late evening . Do you want to come ? ”
“ No , I’m busy . ”
“ Alright then . ”
Celeste put her phone away , picked up her glass of water , and returned to the study . They remained busy for the rest of the day .
By night time , Matthias stretched and suggested , “ Mr. Newman , let’s go out for dinner ! We’ll treat you . ”
Zachary didn’t even look at him before saying , “ I have plans . ”
Both Celeste and Matthias were surprised .
“ I’m having dinner with Trevor tonight . ”
Matthias glanced at Celeste , who simply took a sip of her water without any reaction .
Zachary grabbed his car keys and left , reminding them , “ Make sure to lock up when you leave . ” Then , as if remembering something , he added , “ But I won’t be gone for long . ”
“ Got it , professor . ”

Meanwhile , on the other side , Jordyn , Trevor , Wynn , and the others had been skiing for most of the day and were in high spirits .
As they left the ski resort , Jordyn happily said to Trevor , “ Dad , I want seafood for dinner . ”
Trever replied , “ Wynn and I have something important to do later , so we can’t have dinner with you . The driver is already waiting in the parking lot . When you get home , just tell the chef what you want . ”
Hearing this , the smile on Jordyn’s face instantly disappeared . “ What is it ? Why can’t I go too ? ”
Trevor gently pinched her cheek and smiled . “ It’s something very important . ”
