Trevor asked again , “ You or me ? ”
Celeste looked at Jordyn . “ Jo , you decide . ”
“ Dad . ” Jordyn said , “ Mom doesn’t know how to play basketball , but Dad is really good at it . ”
Celeste actually did know how to play basketball . But she didn’t correct her .
Since Jordyn had already made up her mind , she simply said , “ You do it . ”
Trevor nodded . “ Alright . ”
The sun was getting hotter , and the outdoor temperature had risen significantly .
Trevor took off his long black coat and handed it to her . “ Hold this for me . ”
Celeste just looked at it , took it , and placed it on the grass nearby . ( 1
He raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything .
However , just before the game started , he suddenly told her , “ When you record the video later , keep up with our pace . Don’t just stand still . ”
Celeste replied , “ Got it . ”
The Ball Transportation Game’s rules required the parent to pull a loop of rope forward while the child dribbled a basketball inside the loop .
At the turnaround point , the child pulled the loop while the parent dribbled . Throughout the game , the ball had to stay within the loop’s range .
Celeste had taken Jordyn to play basketball and volleyball before . But at that time , Jordyn didn’t show much interest – maybe because she was still too young and had forgotten about it .
Now , whether it was because the school had taught her or because Trevor had , when the game started , Jordyn dribbled with impressive skill .
As Trevor pulled the loop backward , he matched her dribbling rhythm perfectly .
They easily completed the first round . The return trip was even smoother .
Jordyn had said that Trevor was good at basketball . And she was right .
He spun the ball effortlessly between his hands . With his sleeves casually rolled up , his movements were both elegant and effortlessly skilled as he followed Jordyn’s pace .
Around them , a few spectators gasped in admiration . “ So handsome . ”
Celeste kept recording steadily .
But as he dribbled , an image suddenly resurfaced in her mind – the memory of him playing basketball on their campus court years ago .
Just a few months ago , when she occasionally recalled the past , his face and figure had remained crystal clear in her memory .
But now , looking at the present – day Trevor – taller , more composed , and even more striking than before – those old memories seemed to blur .

Unsurprisingly , Trevor and Jordyn came in first place .
Jordyn jumped with joy , her smile never leaving her face .
Trevor grinned and bent down to lift her into his arms .
Celeste captured the moment on video . She thought Jordyn must be the happiest child in the entire school .
But at the same time , she figured – if the person here with them today was Wynn instead of her , Jordyn would probably be even happier .
Some of the other parents started chatting with Trevor . He shook hands with one of them and engaged in conversation .
Meanwhile , Tilda stood beside Celeste .
Seeing that the game was about to end and that Celeste had finished recording , she commented , “ Your daughter and her dad have such a great relationship . ”
Celeste replied , “ Yes . ”
Indeed , their bond was strong , and it would probably only grow stronger .
What Tilda didn’t say was that it was quite rare for a child to be closer to their father than their mother – to this extent , at least .
But she also had to admit – Celeste’s husband treated their daughter very well .
