Jordyn turned to Trevor , who was sitting nearby , watching them . “ Dad , I want to eat here . Can we have the food packed and brought back ? ”
Trevor said , “ Okay . ”
Jordyn immediately brightened up and hugged Celeste even tighter .
Betty and Martha had plenty to talk about . Celeste , on the other hand , mostly sat quietly , occasionally chiming in with a few words .
After a while , Jordyn started feeling tired and asked Celeste , “ Mom , when will you be done with work ? ”
Not wanting Betty to hear , Celeste picked her up and carried her over to the couch near the hospital bed before answering , “ I’m not sure , but if things go as expected , I will probably get even busier . ”
“ Huh ? ” Jordyn didn’t expect that answer and was visibly disappointed .
“ Then when will you have time to take me skiing ? ” She hadn’t forgotten about it .
Celeste thought for a moment and said , “ Next month . ”
“ Really ? ”
“ Mm . ” Celeste nodded . “ When I have time , I’ll let you know . ”
“ Okay ! ” Jordyn instantly perked up .
Remembering last night , she suddenly asked , “ Oh , Mom , dil you go shopping last night ? ”
Celeste paused for a moment but still replied , “ I did . ”
“ Huh ? So , that really was you I saw last night ? ”
“ Possibly . ” As soon as Celeste finished speaking , she noticed Trevor glancing sideways at her.
Jordyn hadn’t gone shopping with Celeste in a long time .
There was a time when she thought just aimlessly walking around was boring , but now , thinking back , she actually missed it .
So , she said , “ Then next time you have free time , can you take me shopping too ? And we have to go to the arcade to play bumper cars ! ”
Celeste looked away . “ Okay . ”
Jordyn kept chattering away . Meanwhile , Trevor picked up the cup Celeste had been drinking from , poured out the now – cold water , refilled it with warm water , and placed it back on the coffee table in front of her .
Celeste looked at him and said a quiet , “ Thank you . ”
Trevor replied , “ You’re welcome . ” Then , he sat down on the couch beside them .
Mariba and Betty had been having a good conversation , but seeing the three of them sitting together as a family , Martha hesitated mid – sentence .
Following her gaze , Betty looked over but didn’t show any reaction . She simply withdrew her gaze .
Martha sighed . “ You see-

“ Since they’ve made their decision , let’s not force them , ” Betty interrupted .
Martha sighed again .
Not long after , the food Trevor ordered was delivered .
It was a large spread – clearly more than just enough for two people .
Trevor turned to Celeste and said , “ Have some too . ”
Celeste noticed that half of the dishes were ones she liked . Not only that , but Trevor had instructed the staff to place them all closer to her .
Then , he said , “ Jo , go call your Granny over for dinner . ”
“ Okay ! ”
Jordyn finally got down from Celeste’s lap and ran over to pull Betty’s hand , inviting her to eat ,
Martha chimed in , “ Go have a bite . Otherwise , I’d feel bad asking you to come keep me company again tomorrow . ”
Left with no choice , Betty walked over and sat down at the table .
Seeing that the dishes in front of Celeste were all her favorites , Betty paused slightly and glanced at Trevor .
