Chapter 170
Beck actually knew the location of the bakery .
After Celeste left , he didn’t go there .
Instead , he got into his car , hesitated for a moment , and then dialed a number . “ Miles , I’m back . I have another flight to catch later , but I want to visit Wynn at the hospital before I leave . See if Trevor is free . If he’s not , come with me . ”
Miles was stunned . “ You’re back ? When did you get back ? ”
Beck ignored his question . “ Call Wynn and check if she’s available . ”
Miles was about to ask why Beck wasn’t calling Trevor or Wynn himself , but after a second thought , he figured Beck must be busy and in a rush .
Since he hadn’t visited Wynn yet either , he didn’t question it further and agreed . However , Trevor wasn’t available . After hanging up , Beck bought a bouquet and a basket of fruit before heading to the hospital to meet
Miles .
Inside the hospital room , Wynn smiled and asked , after seeing Beck , “ Why did you suddenly come back ? ”
Beck replied coolly , “ Had to take care of something . ”
Wynn looked down , gently stroking the flowers he had just given her . “ I see … ”
Did he really come back to handle business , or did he make a special trip just to see her ?
Although he hadn’t rushed back immediately after she was injured , the fact that he came as soon as he found time still meant a lot .
That night , Celeste stayed at the Rodriguez residence .
The next morning , she woke up early . Looking at the healthy succulents on the windowsill , she stretched lazily, feeling in a good mood .
When she went downstairs , Adeline was already up , busy preparing breakfast for her , Jamie , and Hector .
Seeing her , Adeline smiled . “ Cel , you’re in a good mood today ? ”
Celeste went over to help knead the dough and smiled . “ Yeah , pretty good ”
A steaming batch of buns was soon ready . Just as she sat down to eat , her phone rang .
It was Jordyn again .
She didn’t pick up . But Jordyn called again .
So , Celeste turned off her phone entirely and focused on her meal .
Seeing that her calls were no longer going through , Jordyn pouted and ran to the master bedroom to find Trevor .
Trevor had just finished his morning run and was about to shower when he saw her sulking He asked , “ What’s wrong ? ”
“ I called Mom yesterday and wanted her to come home and cook for me , but she didn’t answer . I just tried calling twice again , and she still didn’t pick up . When I was about to call a third time , it said the number was unavailable . ”
Trevor said , “ She probably turned off her phone . ”
“ Huh ? ” Jordyn frowned . “ Did her battery die ? ”
Trevor neither confirmed nor denied it . “ Maybe . ”
“ What do I do then ? I wanted to go skiing today . Mom said before that if she had time , she’d take me . ”
Originally , she hadn’t been in the mood to play because Wynn was injured , and she wanted to stay with her at the hospital .
But hospitals had too many germs , and everyone kept her from going too often . Now that Wynn was getting better , she wasn’t as worried .
Since she had free time and no one to go with , she naturally wanted to find her mom . But when she called , her mom wouldn’t answer .
“ Try again later . She’ll probably turn her phone back on . ”
Jordyn pouted . “ Okay … ”
Celeste didn’t plan to keep her phone off all day . After all , she still had things to discuss with Matthias .
And Jason might contact her later as well .
About half an hour later , she powered her phone back on .
Not long after , Jordyn called again .
Celeste opened her laptop , ignored the call , and continued working on her research paper .
Seeing that her mother still wasn’t answering and that Trevor was about to leave , Jordyn said , “ Dad , Mom still isn’t picking up . Can you call her for me ? ”
