Trevor didn’t look at Celeste . He gently rubbed Jordyn’s nose . “ I’m busy , Jo . Be a good girl and listen to Mom , okay ? ”
“ Okay , ” Jordyn replied nonchalantly . She cast Celeste a look and walked to her . Then , she extended her hand , signaling Celeste to grasp it .
This was basically her initiating the reconciliation .
Celeste took her hand , exchanged a quick greeting with Peter , and left .
By the time they reached the Rodriguez residence , Martha had been there for a while .
When Martha noticed Trevor’s absence , she frowned . “ Where’s Trevor ? Busy again ? ”
“ Yeah , ” Celeste replied .
Martha took out her phone angrily , wanting to give Trevor a call . On the other hand , Betty felt that there was no need for Trevor to be here after knowing Celeste and Trevor were about to get a divorce .
Hence , Betty stopped Martha . “ He’s tied up with work , I get it . You don’t need to force him to come . ”
Jordyn and Hector went upstairs to play games .
And Celeste was chatting with both Betty and Martha .

Martha was so impressed by the two new art pieces Betty had made . When she found out they were done exquisite scholar’s writing set Celeste had given Betty on her birthday , she showed a great interest in it .
She was very fascinated by the writing set when she finally saw it herself . Then , she asked , “ What about Trevor ? He wouldn’t have forgotten to prepare anything for your birthday , would he ? ”
“ He did get me something . ”
Betty became a little upset whenever she mentioned Trevor Still , she said , “ He gave me a gorgeous emerald jewelry set , and the embroidery painting he brought on behalf of you is just as impressive . ”
Martha chuckled . “ That’s more like it . Looks like he listened to me after all . ”
Celeste stayed quiet as she listened to them chat .
After staying in the study for a while , Martha and Betty headed out to the courtyard for some tea .
Betty stared at the house across from them. “ Oh , by the way , Isn’t it weird that the renovations for the house just stopped unexpectedly ? The renovations were going on day and night ; and I thought the owner was in a rush to
move in . ”
Martha smiled as she replied , “ Maybe something happened , and they ended up not moving in . ”
“ Well , maybe . ”
Celeste wanted to get rid of the house at first , but she was worried it might end up in the hands of someone from the Lockets or the Shaws .
Hence , she didn’t do anything about it .
Besides , given that the Shaws were involved , she didn’t feel like going in to check the house out .
As a result , it was simply put aside .

Just then , Celeste sneezed , a cold shiver running down her spine .
Martha and Betty asked in unison , “ Are you okay ? Did you catch a cold ? ”
Celeste grabbed a tissue to wipe her nose . “ Maybe , ”
She likely caught a cold last night as well , though her symptoms weren’t as obvious as Shanice’s .
Betty and Martha had been friends for years .
However , she never told Betty anything that happened at her birthday party , nor anything regarding Trevor and Wynn .
The two of them were just having a joyful conversation about anything and everything .
Moments later , Celeste received a call from Lottie , saying that she had bumped into Trevor again , who was dining with the Lockets .
“ Seriously , why is it always me who runs into this kind of thing ? I don’t want it at all ! ” Lottie exclaimed .
Then , she asked Celeste where she was .
“ I’m at my Granny’s .
“ You went back alone ? ”
“ No , I’m here with Mrs. Fleming Senior . ”
Lottie understood right away . “ Oh , so instead of going back to the Rodriguez residence with you , Trevor is accompanying Wynn’s family now ? ”
