Realizing what had just happened , Celeste’s immediate response was to push Trevor away .
“ Relax , ” Trevor said casually .
As if he had expected her reaction , he gripped a little firmer on her waist .
“ You ! ”
She couldn’t pull away , and she wasn’t about attracting unwanted attention .
People didn’t do things without a reason .
She figured he must have something to say , which was why he pulled this switch .
Hence , she stopped struggling . In a cold voice , she asked , “ What do you want to tell me ? ”
Trevor glanced down at her cool expression but didn’t seem bothered . Then , he asked in a relaxed tone , “ When are you going to pick up Jo’s calls ? ”
“ Some time later . ”
Trevor smiled . “ Which is like , around ten days then ? ”
Celeste paused for a brief moment . “ Yeah . ”
Even though she and Trevor were getting divorced and she didn’t have custody of Jordyn , she still had obligations as Jordyn’s mother .
Hence , she had decided to carve out one day each month just for Jordyn .
In roughly ten days , it would mark almost a month .
“ Alright , ” Trevor responded .
That was about all there was to say .
After all , they had nothing left to talk about .
Celeste cast him a look , signaling him to let go of her .
Yet Trevor didn’t . Instead , he asked , “ How are you doing these days ? ”
Celeste pursed her lips . She wasn’t sure what he was up to .
“ That’s none of your business . ”
Whether she was okay or not was no longer his business .
It seemed like a casual question from Trevor . When she didn’t reply , he didn’t insist . Before she knew it , he had guided her off the dance floor and left .
Everyone else had no idea how Trevor and Celeste had become dance partners out of nowhere .
And when they saw it , they were all surprised .
Wynn , too , was biting her lip .
It didn’t take long for her to calm down .
Chapter 183
If Trevor was ever going to fall for Celeste , he would have done it a long time ago .
And it wouldn’t have taken until now .
When she noticed Trevor had come back , she got off the dance floor and asked , “ Did you say something to her ? ”
Trevor replied , “ It was about Jo . ”
“ Oh . ”
Wynn knew it . Trevor wouldn’t have approached Celeste for no reason .
With that , she smiled and invited Trevor for a dance again .
Then , Trevor stepped onto the dance floor with her once more .
On the other side …
Matthias was shocked after seeing Celeste dance with Trevor .
Hearing that Trevor only wanted to talk about Jordyn , he felt a bit more at ease . “ From now on , try to keep your distance with him if you can . ”
Celeste nodded . “ I understand . ”
Just then , Caleb walked over . “ Ms. Rodriguez , I’m sorry for switching partners without asking you first . ”
When they swapped partners , he noticed Celeste’s dark expression . She seemed to be clearly unwilling to be around Trevor .
She didn’t want to dance with Trevor at all .
That was when Caleb realized Trevor was Wynn’s boyfriend
Wynn and Celeste seemed to have a history of conflict .
So Caleb figured Trevor sought out Celeste to talk about Wynn – maybe even to defend her .
Celeste shook her head and said , “ It’s fine , and it’s not ever your fault , anyway . I’d do the same if I were you , too . ”
She sounded calm and sincere .
He could tell she genuinely didn’t blame him .
When they were dancing earlier , Caleb realized she wasn’t particularly chatty or socially agile .
She was quiet and reserved . Her gaze held no ulterior motives – she saw him purely as her dance partner for the
moment .
Caleb extended his hand . “ May I have another dance with you then ? ”
