Chapter 189
Celeste was about to wash up after helping Jordyn with her bath and drying her hair .
Since her toiletries weren’t in Jordyn’s room , she went to the master bedroom .
The master bedroom was all dim and silent . Trevor wasn’t there .
She switched on the light and immediately froze , for a second thinking she might have stepped into the wrong
room .
Having spent seven years in this room , she was intimately familiar with every part of it .
Yet , everything in sight felt so foreign to her .
Everything about the room was different . Well , almost – at least the floor remained unchanged .
The floor was the only thing left untouched . The chandelier curtains , bed , nightstand , small round table by the window , couch , coffee table , rug – everything had changed . Even the water dispensers and mugs were new .
On top of those , the vanity desk she had always used was nowhere to be seen , along with all her bottles and jars .
She could tell that every reminder of her had been deliberately removed .
Then again , it made sense . Their divorce was nearly a done deal , after all .
When Wynn got injured saving Trevor , he immediately rushed back and had Celeste sign a new divorce agreement . That alone made it obvious – he was eager to end their marriage and give Wynn a proper title .
Their divorce wasn’t even finalized yet , and he was already so desperate to remove all traces of her ?
Celeste took a step backward . Just as she was about to turn off the lights and leave , Hannah called out to her from behind .
She turned around and saw Hannah standing there with a tray . There was a cup of warm milk on the tray . “ Oh , hi , Hannah . ”
Hannah smiled . “ Mrs. Fleming Senior left this milk here when she visited before . She told me to make something with it for you when I get the chance . ”
“ Thank you , ” Celeste replied .
“ You’re very welcome . ”
After a brief pause , she added , “ Mr. Fleming asked me to pack up all your belongings at the beginning of the month Mrs. Fleming . I’ve moved them to the third floor . If you need anything , I can bring it down for you , or … ”
It was early this month when she and Trevor signed the divorce papers .
Celeste responded , “ It’s okay , I’ll go get them myself later .
“ Alright . ”
Hannah then asked , “ Do I take this cup of warm milk to Jo’s room ? ”
This was a silent confirmation that she could no longer enter the master bedroom .
Celeste took the tray and uttered , “ I’ll take care of it . ”
Hannah nodded .

Then , Celeste switched off the lights in the master bedroom and went back to Jordyn’s room with the tray in her hand .
As soon as she finished the cup of warm milk , she went to the third floor .
Her belongings were neatly arranged in a corner room on the third floor .
The room was clean and tidy as well .
She could tell that Hannah had been maintaining the room for her .
She took a fresh set of clothes and toiletries and went back to Jordyn’s room for a bath .
After the bath and a short reading session with Jordyn , she got ready for bed .
Before bed , Jordyn asked , “ I’m going to say goodnight to Dad . Do you want to come , Mom ? ”
Celeste shook her head . “ No. You can go ahead . ”
“ Okay . ”
Three minutes later , Jordyn came back . “ Mom , Dad says goodnight too . ”
Celeste put away the book as she murmured a reply .
Yawning , Jordyn snuggled into Celeste’s embrace . “ We can sleep now , Mom . Goodnight ! ”
“ Goodnight . ”
With that , she turned off the lights .
The next morning …
Celeste woke up just as dawn was breaking .
Jordyn , however , was still fast asleep .
Celeste washed up and went to the kitchen .
