Jordyn nodded . “ Okay . ” As long as she didn’t have to go out alone , that was fine .
Trevor made a call to Beck , asking him to take care of Jordy on Saturday .
Beck agreed . “ Sure . ”
On Saturday , Beck took Jordyn and Shanice to Happy Valley
The amusement park had a variety of attractions . But no matter what ride it was , Jordyn didn’t seem very interested . Unlike before , she wasn’t having as much fun
She looked a bit preoccupied .
Beck handed the ice cream cones he had bought to both her and Shanice .
Looking at her face , which bore some resemblance to Celeste’s , he asked , “ Jo , are you feeling down today ? ”
Sitting on a swing , Jordyn licked her ice cream in small bites and softly said , “ I miss my mom a little . ”
Back when they were abroad , sometimes she wouldn’t see her mom for two to three months . But she would call her every day and chat with her .
Lately , her mom had been busy with work , but even when she called every few days , her mom would always answer and even rush home to cook for her .
But now , no matter how many times she called , her mom wouldn’t pick up . That had never happened before .
Beck knew that Celeste and Trevor had already signed the divorce papers , with custody of Jordyn awarded to
Trevor .
But he wasn’t sure how things had been between them since the agreement was finalized .
Hearing what Jordyn said , Beck asked , “ Did something happen ? ”
Jordyn had no choice but to tell him about her mom not answering her calls .
Beck knew that Jordyn was still unaware of her parents ‘ impending divorce .
For a moment , he didn’t know what to say . Instead , he simply reassured her , “ Your mom definitely isn’t ignoring your calls on purpose . She’s probably just really busy . Things will go back to normal soon . ”
Jordyn nodded . “ Mm , that’s what Dad said too . ”
Beck paused and didn’t say anything else .
Seeing that Jordyn was upset , Shanice also tried to comfort her . “ I miss my aunt too , but Uncle Beck said she’s been really busy lately and doesn’t have time . Grown – ups are always busy . It’ll get better soon . ”
Jordyn nodded . “ Okay . ”
Beck hadn’t contacted Celeste recently – not because she was busy , but because he knew the divorce was a big change for her .
On top of that , losing custody of Jordyn must have been tough .
He worried that if he asked her to help accompany Shanice now , it might only make her feel worse .
At around 5:00 pm , after finishing work , Trevor called Beck “ Where are you guys
now ? ”

Beck gave him the location , and Trevor drove over to meet them .
“ Dad ! ” Even though Beck had treated her well , Jordyn was still visibly happier when she saw Trevor .
Dressed in a sharp sult , Trevor had left his long coat in the car . He bent down , scooped her up , and pinched her little cheek. “ Did you have fun with Beck and Shanice today ? ”
Jordyn was in a much better mood now . So , she nodded . “ Mo , it was fun ! ”
She clung to Trevor , unwilling to let go .
Trevor carried her into the restaurant and only put her dow once they entered their private dining room . He then turned to Beck and said , “ Thanks for today . ”
“ No trouble at all , ” Beck replied . “ They played on their own most of the time . I barely had to do anything – it was actually pretty easy . ”
Seeing that the two kids were preoccupied and not paying attention to their conversation , Beck looked at Trever and asked , “ I know you have custody of Jo , but how are you handling visitation rights ? ”
Trevor immediately understood what he was implying . He chuckled . “ You think I’m stopping her from seeing Jo ? ”
