Chapter 252
Maurice couldn’t stand being accused of lying .
As soon as Queenie comforted him , his mood improved siificantly .
Hearing this , Jordyn also stopped crying .
“ That’s right . Maurice probably just mistook someone else for mom . That person wasn’t her mom at all . ”
With that thought , she felt much better .
But then , she suddenly remembered that Celeste had praise Sylvia for being cute before . And they seemed quite familiar with each other .
Jordyn didn’t even bother wiping her tears before reaching into Trevor’s pocket . “ Dad , give me your phone . ”
Trevor had already guessed what had happened from Queenie’s words . So , he wiped her tears with his thumb before handing his phone to her .
Jordyn quickly entered Celeste’s number and dialed .
At that moment , Celeste had just finished watching a movie and was playing games at the arcade next to the cinema .
Seeing Trevor’s call , she didn’t hesitate to reject it .

Jordyn’s eyes were still red . “ Mom didn’t pick up . ”
“ She’s probably busy , ” Trevor said . “ Let’s not disturb her . How about I take you out for dinner tonight ? ”
Trevor saying that Celeste was busy made Jordyn feel even more certain that Maurice had mistaken someone else for her mom .
She relaxed . “ Can Wynn come too ? ”
led . “ Sure , ”
Trevor smiled . “ Sure . ”
Feeling much better , Jordyn got out of his arms and was about to return to her puzzle . But she was still a little uneasy . She called Donna and asked to speak to Sylvia .
Donna was surprised .
From her impression , Jordyn didn’t like Sylvia very much . She didn’t bully her , but …
Unable to resist Jordyn’s pleading , Donna contacted Tilda first . After confirming both Sylvia and her mom were okay with it , she gave Jordyn Tilda’s contact information .
Jordyn immediately made a video call .
Sylvia picked up quickly , looking pleasantly surprised . “ Jordyn ? Ms. Alper said you were looking for me ? Do you want to play with me ? ”
Even though it seemed like Jordyn didn’t like her much , Sylvia had always liked her . She thought Jordyn was bold , confident , and cool .
“ Mm . ” Jordyn pursed her lips . “ Where are you now ? ”
“ At home ! ” Sylvia happily turned the camera around . “ My grandparents are here . They and my mom are making my favorite ravioli . Do you want to-

Seeing the large pile of ravioll in Sylvia’s house and realizing they were really at home , Jordyn finally relaxed . She asked , “ You didn’t go to the movies with my mom today , right ? ”
Sylvia shook her head . “ With Ms. Rodriguez ? No , I haven’t seen her in a long time . ”
Hearing this , Jordyn was completely relieved . “ Got it . Enjoy your ravioll . ”
She was about to hang up but hesitated for a moment before awkwardly adding , “ Bye . ”
Sylvia blinked . “ Oh , B – Bye . ”
When Trevor returned to the living room , Lincoln asked , “ Everything settled ? ”
“ Yeah . ”
The guests sitting across from Lincoln and Trevor had just arrived not long ago . It was their first time seeing Jordyn .
One of them couldn’t help but remark , “ I can’t believe Trevor’s child is already this big . So , he’s been married for a long time ? ”
Rumors had been spreading recently that Trevor had a child But most people thought it was just gossip ,
Seeing it with their own eyes now , they realized it was true .
Trevor took a sip of tea . “ Yes . ”
The others exchanged awkward smiles . They had deliberately brought their daughters today , hoping they and Trevor could meet .
If something could come out of it , that would be ideal . But now , they found out he was already married .
Their daughters were beautiful , gentle , and quiet , yet in the half hour they had been here , Trevor hadn’t spared them a single glance .
Clearly, he had no interest in them whatsoever .
Maybe , even if he weren’t married , their daughters wouldn’t have stood a chance .
After playing in the arcade for over an hour , Beck and Shanice had to leave due to other commitments .
Before going out today , Celeste had been working on her thesis . Now that it was almost done , she planned to make some final edits when she got home and send it to Zachary for review .
Once it was confirmed to be fine , she would submit it officially .
Lost in thought , she continued playing her VR game , unaware that someone leaving the cinema had spotted her . Linda scoffed at the sight of Celeste playing arcade games all alone before turning and walking away .
Half an hour later , Linda arrived at the luxurious Locket family villa.
Rushing upstairs , she was surprised to see Ruby there . “ Man ? Weren’t you supposed to be out shopping ? What are you doing at Aunt Lizzy’s place ? ”

“ I just got back from shopping ”
Though the Shaw family’s villa was already quite nice , it was nothing compared to the one Trevor had bought for Lilian
Ever since the Locket family moved in , Ruby found every excuse to visit .
Even though some time had passed , she still couldn’t help ut admire the extravagant decor .
Linda was the same . Since the Lockets and the Shaws were close , she , like her mother , found herself coming over more often .
Acting as if she were at home , she sat down and mysteriously said , “ Mom , Wynn , Aunt Lizzy , guess who I just saw at the arcade ? ”
At that moment , Wynn was sitting by the enormous floor – to – ceiling window , reading ,
Hearing this , she already had an answer in mind . But she wasn’t interested and didn’t respond .
Ruby , however , was intrigued . “ You saw Celeste ? ”
“ That’s right ! ” Linda grinned as she popped a sunflower seed into her mouth .
“Is Trevor not letting her return to the Fleming Manor anymore ? Now she’s all alone , playing arcade games by herself . Gosh , she looked so pitiful from behind . ”
