Wynn was stunned for a moment . After processing his words , she responded kindly , “ No worries . Your plans
should come first . ”
Beck nodded .
Once Wynn drove off, he got into his own car .
But instead of starting the engine , he reached for his phone found Celeste’s number , and , after a brief pause , dialed .
Celeste was still at the office .
Seeing his name on the screen , she answered the call casually , “ Mr. Harper ? ”
Beck had words at the tip of his tongue , but the noise in the background made him stop short . Instead , he asked , ” Still working at this hour ? ”
“ Yeah . ”
Considering the time , Celeste assumed this wasn’t a work matter . “ I’m free tomorrow . What does Shanice have in mind ? ”
Silence .
Noticing his silence , Celeste prompted , “ Mr. Harper ? ”
Beck knew how busy she had been this week .
It was already past nine , and she was still working .
He didn’t even need to ask – she had to be drained .
Her own daughter had returned to the Fleming Manor , and she wouldn’t get to see her tomorrow . Yet , despite that , he was still asking her to spend time with someone else’s child .
It seemed a little too unfair for her .
Hence , he said , “ If you’re tired , let’s push it to next time . ”
Celeste , however , wasn’t feeling particularly exhausted .
“ It’s fine . Tomorrow works . ”
Beck hesitated for a couple of seconds before responding , “ Alright then . ”
Meanwhile …
As the Flemings exited the restaurant after dinner , they bumped into the Robinsons .
Theodore , being well – acquainted with Lincoln , greeted him warmly .
Jorge and Trevor exchanged greetings as well .
Jordyn , who was holding Trevor’s hand , looked up and greeted , “ Mr. Robinson , hi ! ”
Jorge nodded . “ Hello there . ”
The moment Jorge spotted the Flemings , his gaze swept over the group .

He realized he recognized everyone .
However , he hadn’t seen any unfamiliar woman who might be Jordyn’s mother .
So , had Trevor really ended his marriage ?
After some small talk with the Robinsons , the Flemings got into their car and drove to the hospital to see Martha .
That night , Lincoln stayed behind to accompany Martha .
Trever and the others , on the other hand , went back to the Fleming Manor .
Just as they had arrived , Tucker turned to Trevor and asked , “ Trev , you didn’t forget my idol’s autograph , did you ?
Trevor tossed him the car keys . “ It’s in the car . Go get it yourself . ”
Thank you , Trev ! ”
Tucker excitedly caught the keys .
Upon seeing this , Queenie asked , “ What’s that about ? ”
Tucker froze momentarily .
“ It’s nothing , ” Trevor replied .
Letting out a breath of relief , Tucker bolted outside to get Wynn’s autograph .
Queenie shrugged and didn’t press further .
Moments later , Tucker came back with a few notebooks in his hand .
Although it did have “ CC ” on it , it wasn’t the kind of autograph he wanted .
He blurted out , “ Trev , I wanted a signed poster – the kind you can hang on the wall and admire every day . ”
Trevor replied flatly , “ You’re not the right fit for that . ”
“ Why not ? ”
It wasn’t like he was going to do anything weird . He just wanted to put it on his wall and glance at it whenever he felt like it .
Trevor looked at him with a smile but said nothing .
From that expression alone , Tucker knew the answer was a definite no .
Hence , he didn’t push further .
But still , he had his idol’s autograph , and that was enough to make him happy . `
Feeling satisfied , he quickly sent Wynn a message to say thanks .
Some time later , Jordyn went up to Trevor with a tablet in her hand . “ Dad , there’s a new animated movie coming out tomorrow ! The trailer looks amazing . Can we go watch it together ? ”
“ I’ll be busy tomorrow , though , ” Trevor said .
Now that Lincoln was back , Fleming Manor would probably be filled with guests tomorrow .

Then , he added , “ Try asking your
“ Oh … ”
She had been seeing Celeste more frequently lately , so she wasn’t as attached as before .
“ What about Wynn ? Can I … ”
“ She has a lesson with someone tomorrow . Don’t disturb her , ” Trevor responded .
Pouting , Jordyn muttered , “ Okay . I guess I’ll ask Mom then . ”
With that , Jordyn pulled out her phone and gave Celeste a call .
Celeste had just arrived home not long ago .
She saw the caller’s name , but she didn’t answer the call .
Putting her phone away , she went to take a bath .
When Celeste didn’t answer , Jordyn figured she was probably swamped with work . “ Mom is busy too … ”
Trevor cast an eye on Tucker , who was sitting nearby . “ Let your uncle take you then . ”
Tucker was at a loss for words after processing what had just happened .
He was supposed to go out with his friends !
But remembering how Trevor had just gotten him his idol’s autograph and how his idol had been extra nice to him , he felt pretty good about it . Thus , he agreed right away .
