Jordyn wasn’t around , so Celeste smiled slightly and said , “ We’re about to divorce . ”
Tilda had already suspected as much . After all , Celeste had daughter but had been living alone across from her
all this time .
Not to mention , Celeste hadn’t attended the last parent – teacher meeting . Instead , someone else had – a sexy and beautiful woman .
Trevor , however , took the initiative to greet her . “ Hello . ”
Tilda responded , “ Hello . ”
Trevor asked , “ You two know each other ? ”
Although the question was directed at Tilda , his gaze landed on Celeste .
Celeste didn’t want to engage and remained silent .
Tilda answered , “ Cel and I are neighbors . ”
Sensing the awkward tension between them and noticing that Celeste didn’t seem interested in speaking with Trevor , Tilda quickly found an excuse to leave .
Trevor remarked , “ Seems like you get along well with your new neighbor . ”
Celeste lowered her head and checked her phone .
Trevor didn’t seem upset , but he also didn’t continue speaking .
At that moment , Jordyn returned , and the parent – child event was about to begin .
Celeste had participated in a similar event during Jordyn’s first year of kindergarten . But ever since Jordyn and Trevor moved abroad last year , she didn’t attend again .
The first activity was “ Musical Chairs “ .
The game required chairs to be arranged in a circle , with two fewer chairs than the number of participating families . Parents had to carry their child and walk around the chairs while music played .
When the music stopped , they had to quickly find a seat . Families who didn’t secure a chair would be eliminated each round , and the last family left would be the champion
Trevor turned to Celeste . “ Do you want to do it , or should I ?
.
Just as Celeste was about to say “ You do it , ” Jordyn eagerly spoke first , “ Dad will do it ! ”
Trevor looked at Celeste . “ What do you think ? ”
Celeste replied , “ You do it . ”
“ Alright . ” Trevor handed her his phone . “ Then you record it . ”
Celeste hesitated and didn’t want to touch his phone . “ I’ll use mine . I’ll send you the video later . ”
Trevor didn’t insist and took his phone back . Then , he picked up Jordyn and stood beside the other parents near the chairs .
Celeste stood up , opened her phone’s video recording function , and aimed it at Trevor and Jordyn .

Suddenly , Trevor glanced over at her . The camera captured his face directly . He smiled at her .
Celeste’s grip on her phone tightened for a brief moment .
Just then , the music started playing . Trevor turned away , holding Jordyn effortlessly as he moved along with the other parents in a circle around the chairs .
After one to two rounds , the music abruptly stopped .
Trevor sat down in a chair with ease , still holding Jordyn in his arms .
Seeing that they had secured a chair , Jordyn sat in his lap , happily waving at Celeste . “ Mom , we got a chair ! ”
Celeste responded , “ That’s great . ”
To be honest , when she first looked at the event schedule , she had assumed that both Trevor and Jordyn would find these school – organized games boring .
But in reality , Jordyn had already been excited the moment Trevor picked her up before the game even started . Now that they had successfully grabbed a chair , she was even more thrilled .
Trevor chuckled at her reaction and glanced over at Celeste .
At first , it had been obvious to Celeste that Trevor wasn’t particularly interested in the game . But perhaps the lively atmosphere , the cheerful music , and the competitive nature of the activity had drawn him in .
By now , he seemed fully engaged and was genuinely enjoying himself .
Thanks to his quick reflexes , he easily won round after round , ultimately becoming the champion .
