Chapter 190
Celeste went upstairs at around 7:00 am .
Jordyn had already woken up .
Seeing her return , Jordyn quickly switched away from the WhatsApp conversation .
Celeste pretended not to notice it and said casually , “ Go wash up and get changed . ”
“ Okay ! ”
Celeste packed up her things and was about to head downstairs when she saw Hannah gathering her pajamas from last night to wash .
Thus , she said , “ There’s no need to wash them , Hannah . You can just throw them away .
“ The other stuff as well , though . Please throw them away for me ; I won’t be needing them anymore . ”
Her divorce with Trevor should be finalized soon .
Going forward , even if she was meeting Jordyn , she wouldn’t set foot here again , let alone stay the night
These belongings were no longer needed , nor did she wish to keep them .
There had always been issues between Celeste and Trevor .
Over the last few months , Celeste’s rare visits had already hinted that their relationship was nearing its end .
When Trevor had her things cleared out of the master bedroom earlier that month , it was as good as confirmation .
Now , with what Celeste had just said , Hannah had no doubts left .
Hannah wasn’t sure what to say all of a sudden . Softly , she muttered , “ Alright . ”
Carrying her bag downstairs , Celeste ran into Trevor , who had just come back from a jog .
. He took the initiative to greet her . “ Good morning . ”
Celeste nodded , replying in a flat tone , “ Morning . ”
Then , she placed her bag on the couch and went into the kitchen .
Trevor , on the other hand , went upstairs .
With breakfast still in the works , Hannah took care of the rest . Celeste went into the living room , reading a book while waiting for Jordyn to come downstairs .
With time running short and Jordyn still not downstairs , Celeste sat still , asking Hannah to go upstairs and urge her .
Back then , Celeste used to handle these kinds of tasks herself .
Yet now , she seemed more like a guest , showing less concern for Jordyn than before .
Hannah noticed this and , with a resigned nod , went upstairs .
“ A new book ? ”
Celeste was so engrossed in the book that she didn’t realize Trevor was already downstairs .

She nodded .
Trevor stretched out his hand . “ Can I take a look ? ”
Celeste went still for a moment . “ Don’t you have it ? ”
It was the newest journal in the AI field .
When they had just married , she wasn’t yet familiar with Al , but she had noticed many AI – related books in his study .
Naturally , the latest journals in the field were part of the collection .
He probably had a habit of subscribing to them .
“ I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had the chance to check it out . ”
He reached out his hand to her .
Just then , Celeste heard Jordyn’s footsteps approaching .
Since she was going to have her breakfast , she passed the journal to Trevor .
Jordyn came downstairs , spotted them , and went over to grab Celeste’s hand . “ Is breakfast ready , Mom ? ”
“ Yup . ”
Celeste headed toward the dining room . As Jordyn followed her , she turned back to Trevor , who still had the journal in his hand , and asked , “ Are you not coming , Dad ? ”
He responded , “ I’ll join in a second . ”
After Celeste and Jordyn had settled at the table , Trevor came .
Just as he started eating , his phone buzzed with a notification .
He put down his utensils and picked up the phone .
Celeste quietly savored the breakfast . Finishing most of her food , she left the dining room and placed the book Trevor had left on the coffee table back into her bag . Once Jordyn was done with her breakfast , Celeste left with her without saying anything to Trevor .
