Celeste said to Trevor , “ My uncle said someone from Fleming Group approached him about a project collaboration . ”
Trevor was about to respond when Celeste continued , “ I know you don’t want to owe me or my grandmother , and you’re trying to express your gratitude in this way .
“ But my grandmother and I visit your grandmother at the hospital because of her , not because of you . So , you don’t need to offer us any projects . ”
If they did business with Fleming Group , the Lockets and the Shaws would surely be displeased and stir up trouble .
Even if he was sincerely trying to thank her and her grandmother by offering the project to her uncle to help him , the fact remained that the woman he loved was Wynn .
If , one day , he wavered and changed his mind , the so – called help now would turn into a burden . And if it happened , the ones who would bear the consequences would still be the Rodriguez family .
She couldn’t afford to accept his offer .
With an indifferent tone , she added , “ You can also rest assured – once the divorce is finalized , we’ll go our separate ways . I won’t entangle myself with you anymore . ”
To her , this was just another way for Trevor to draw a clear boundary between them .
Wasn’t he in such a hurry to sever ties because he feared she would cling to him ?
But she wouldn’t . Not anymore .
Trevor was silent for a few seconds before responding , “ Alright . ”
Celeste didn’t say anything else . She picked up her phone and relayed her decision to Ivan . After hanging up , they went skiing .
The trip went smoothly without any incidents .
However , Celeste spent most of her time talking with Jamie , Hector , and Jordyn .
As for Trevor , they spoke only when necessary . He didn’t take the initiative to speak much .
Around noon , Trevor told Celeste he had to leave early .
Celeste replied indifferently , “ Alright . ”
Trevor , then turned to Jordyn . “ Jo , do you- ”
“ I want to watch a movie with Mom , Jamie , and Hector ! ”
It wasn’t Celeste who had suggested it . Jamie and Hector wanted to see a movie ; and the three kids had planned it together before mentioning it to Celeste .
Trevor nodded . “ Alright . ”
After giving Celeste a brief nod , he turned and left ..
About ten minutes later , Celeste’s phone rang . It was her divorce lawyer , Jason .
He said , “ I just got a call from Trevor . He said he’ll prepare new divorce agreement by the end of today . Compared to the previous one , the main change is in the asset division – be intends to give you two to three

additional properties , each worth a few hundred million . ”
Celeste’s expression remained unchanged .
So , this was how Trevor saw it ? He didn’t believe what she had just told him . Did he think she was still trying to cling to him ? And because she refused his offer , he couldn feel at ease ?
She replied , “ Alright , I understand . I have no objections . I’ll leave the rest to you . ”
Meanwhile , not long after leaving the ski resort , Trevor went to pick up Wynn before heading to a restaurant ,
When they arrived , the private dining room was already packed . Besides the Lockets and the Shaws , there were also other guests seated around the large table .
Seeing Trevor arrive with Wynn , Harvey and Mason immediately broke into smiles .
Wynn took a seat beside Ruby .
Trevor sat down and started conversing with Simon Radcliffe and Ronan Sinclair regarding business .
Ruby leaned close to Wynn and whispered , “ Wynn , your unde and I just heard that Trevor plans to give a Fleming Group project to the Rodriguez family ! ”
Wynn replied , “ I already know about it . ”
