Chapter 253
They had known about this for a long time . But hearing Linda bring it up again , Ruby still smiled happily . Wynn , however , remained focused on her book , showing no reaction .
Lilian was the same .
It was as if Celeste was no longer worth their attention .
Seeing that Linda intended to keep talking , Lilian said calmly , “ Linda , Wynn is still studying . Don’t disturb her ”
“ Oh … ”
Linda glanced at Wynn , who was studying so intently . “ Didn’t the tutor arrive this morning ? It’s already past five in the afternoon , and she’s still studying . Just watching her makes me feel exhausted . Aren’t you tired , Wynn ? ” Ruby replied , “ Of course , she’s tired . But she’s someone who aims high . I’ve always told you to learn from her , but you never listen . ”
Then , smiling , she added , “ But Wynn , as important as hard work is , you should take proper breaks . Why don’t you come and have something to eat first ? ”
Without looking up , Wynn responded , “ No need . Trevor invited me to dinner . I’ll head out after this . ”
After finishing her game , Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence and spent over three hours revising her thesis . Once she was sure there were no issues , she sent it to Zachary .
After stretching herself , she left the room . But when she got downstairs , she saw her grandmother standing at the door in the middle of winter , as if she were waiting for someone .
Celeste frowned and quickly walked over . “ Granny , you
Before she could finish speaking , the sound of a car pulling up interrupted her .
Just as she reached the door , a car drove into the courtyard Moments later , Jordyn pushed the door open and ran out of the car . “ Mom ! Granny ! ”
“ Oh my ! ” Betty’s eyes crinkled with joy as she bent down and spread her arms to embrace her .
Jordyn had actually been running toward Celeste at first , but when she saw Betty bending down for a hug , she turned and hugged her great – grandmother first .
Betty asked , “ Have you eaten ? Are you hungry ? ”
“ I just had dinner with Dad outside , so I’m not hungry . ” After answering , Jordyn pulled away from Betty and tiptoed toward Celeste . “ Mom , hug me ! ”
Celeste bent down to pick her up . Even though she caught a faint whiff of perfume on her daughter’s clothes , her expression remained unchanged .
This time , Trevor didn’t personally drop Jordyn off .
She had left the car door open after getting out , so the driver stepped out to close the door before nodding to -Celeste and Betty in greeting . Then , he left .
Since Jordyn had school the next day , she didn’t stay up long after arriving . After taking a bath , she went straight to bed .

Celeste tucked her in , then picked up her phone and sent a message to Trevor .
“ Have the driver pick Jo up tomorrow afternoon . Also , stop dropping her off at my place without informing me
Trevor didn’t respond to the message .
The next day , after taking Jordyn to school , Celeste returned to work . It wasn’t until then that Trevor finally replied .
“ Okay . ”
After reading the message , Celeste put her phone down and focused on work .
Two days passed , and soon it was the weekend ..
On Saturday morning , Celeste received a reply from Zachary , “ No issues . You can submit it . ”
It had been a while since Celeste and Matthias had last seen Zachary .
