Chapter 241
Celeste had just driven away from the hospital when Betty suddenly recalled something . “ Trevor made it to the hospital , but what about Jo ? Where did she go ? ”
Before Celeste could speak , Betty’s expression darkened right away .
Celeste could tell from her expression that she was unhappy about Trevor leaving Jordyn behind while he and Wynn came to the hospital to see Martha .
“ Don’t worry . He’ll take good care of her , ” Celeste said .
However , Betty wasn’t convinced . “ If he keeps this up , Cel , take him to court . No matter what , you have to get custody of Jo ! ”
Celeste paused for a brief moment before she spoke flatly . “ Okay . ”
Betty remained displeased .
She got out of the car as soon as they arrived at the Rodriguez residence .
Just then , Celeste’s phone rang .
It was a call from Jordyn , but she didn’t pick it up .
Maybe it was because she hadn’t spent much time with Jordyn these past few months and had been missing her calls , but over the last two days , she could clearly sense that Jordyn was more attached to her – just like back when it was the two of them .
Her phone rang again .
After a quick glance , she still chose not to answer it . She simply turned it off and went inside to join her family for dinner .
But just as she had sat down , the family’s landline phone rang .
Celeste instantly knew who was on the other end .
“ I’ll answer it . ”
She stood up before everyone else could and went to the living room .
As she had guessed , it was Jordyn on the other end .
The moment she spoke , Jordyn’s cheerful voice rang out . “ Mom ! ”
Celeste hummed a soft reply and asked , “ Have you eaten yet ? ”
“ No. ” Jordyn sounded a little down . “ Are you at Granny’s house , Mom ? I want to go too . Will you have dinner with me later ? ”
Betty glanced over at Celeste as she asked , “ Is it Jo ? ”
Sighing inwardly , Celeste answered , “ Yeah . ”
“ Does Jo want to see you ? ” Betty put down her utensils and walked over . “ If she wants to come , call Trevor and have someone send her over . We’ll save some food for her .
“ Alright . “ .

Then , she turned to the phone . “ Alright , you can come over now . ”
“ Okay ! ”
Just before ending the call , Celeste added, “ Make sure you tell your dad before you come . ”
“ Alright . ”
They all wanted to wait for Jordyn to arrive before they continued eating , but Celeste asked them to go on .
Around an hour later , Jordyn arrived .
She ran to Celeste the moment she stepped through the door . “ Mom ! I’m back ! ”
Celeste adjusted Jordyn’s outfit and said lightly , “ I’ll heat the dishes for you . ”
“ Okay ! ”
Jordyn put away her backpack and tablet , following Celeste into the kitchen .
Ivan and his wife had sent Jamie to school while Betty remained at home .
Seeing Jordyn stick to Celeste like a shadow , Betty smiled warmly and let them enjoy their time together without interrupting .
Celeste asked Jordyn to wait outside .
Jordyn sat patiently at the dining table , waiting for Celeste to serve the warmed – up food .
She was usually a picky eater – leftovers never tasted as good as a fresh meal . But today , she didn’t complain and enjoyed every bite .
She chatted with Celeste between bites . “ Mom , I went out with Mr. Harper and Shanice today . ”
