Chapter 224
Caleb’s phone rang . After a moment , he put it down and said , “ I have something to take care of . I’m heading back first – want to come along ? ”
Jorge snapped out of his thoughts , his eyes darkening slightly . “ No , I’m waiting for someone . You go ahead . Let’s catch up another time . ”
“ Alright . ” Caleb left .
Once his figure disappeared , Jorge turned and walked toward the cafe .
As he pushed the door open , he happened to run into Wynn , who was about to take Jordyn to the restroom .
Both of them stopped in their tracks ,
Wynn recognized him and said , “ Mr. Robinson ? What a coincidence . ”
a
“ Yeah . ” Jorge closed the door behind him , letting his gaze sweep across the cafe . Then , he spotted Trevor at the counter , ordering from the server .
Retracting his gaze , he let it fall on Jordyn .
It only took a single glance for him to be almost certain – Jordyn was Trevor’s daughter . She resembled him by at least 50 % .
Still , he asked , “ And she is … ? ”
Wynn lowered her eyes slightly . “ Trevor’s daughter . ”
As expected .
Jorge’s heart sank .
At that moment , Jordyn spoke up , “ Wynn , who’s this handsome man ? ”
Wynn bent down and tapped Jordyn’s little nose , smiling gently . “ A friend of mine . ”
“ Oh … ” Jordyn nodded .
Wynn then turned back to Jorge . “ Mr. Robinson , are you meeting a friend- ”
Before she could finish , Jordyn interrupted , shaking Wynn’s arm . “ Wynn , hurry , take me to the restroom . ”
She had milkshake earlier , and now the urge to go was becoming unbearable . Seeing that Wynn still seemed Inclined to chat , she couldn’t help but cut her off .
And because she was so anxious , her tone came off as more like a command .
Jorge frowned slightly at the way Jordyn treated Wynn – it was as if she was ordering her around .
Yet , Wynn didn’t seem to mind in the slightest . She remained as patient and gentle as ever , smiling warmly . Alright , I know . I’ll take you right away . ”
Then , she turned to Jorge and said , “ We’ll head out first . See you later . ”
Watching this , Jorge felt even more uneasy . But he wasn’t in any position to say anything , so he simply offered , “ I happen to need the restroom too . Why don’t we go together ? ”
Wynn smiled . “ Sure . ”

Jordyn , truly desperate , couldn’t wait for Wynn any longer . She let go of her hand and ran toward the restroom on her own
Seeing this , Wynn forgot all about Jorge and quickly followed . “ Jo , wait for me ! ”
Jorge watched , his frown deepening . In lids eyes , Jordyn was far too willful .
Jordyn was about to say something when she suddenly halted , turning to look off to the side .
“ Jo ? ” Wynn caught up , noticing that she had stopped in her tracks . A thought flashed through her mind – could she have seen Celeste ?
Glancing at Jorge , who was approaching quickly , Wynn’s eyes flickered as she took Jordyn’s hand .
“ Jo , didn’t you need the restroom ? Let’s- ”
“ Mm . ” Jordyn glanced around a few more times but didn’t spot Celeste again
Convinced she must have imagined it , she didn’t look any further and hurried into the restroom .
However , Celeste was indeed in the direction Jordyn had been looking , but she was blocked by the crowd .
Amidst the bustling shopping mall , neither of them noticed the other .
