“ Beck ? ”
Trevor , Miles , and the others were momentarily stunned when they saw Beck abruptly stand up .
Noticing the strange expression on his face , Trevor asked , Did something happen ? ”
Beck snapped back to reality , his gaze lingering on Trevor and Wynn for a moment before he slowly shook his head . “ No , it’s nothing ”
With that , he sat back down .
Linda hesitated , then said , “ Beck , 1-
But Beck seemed not to hear her . Instead , he turned toward Shanice and asked warmly , “ Shanice , are you thirsty ? Do you want some water ? ”
Shanice nodded . “ Yes , ”
She ran over , took two sips of water from Beck’s cup , then scurried back to chat with Jordyn again . Earlier , they had been talking about the little toy Jordyn had brought for her .
After drinking the water , Shanice returned to Jordyn’s side and handed her a figurine . “ I bought this when I went to the movies during the New Year’s holiday . It’s for you . ”
Jordyn was delighted and accepted it with surprise . “ You went to the movies during New Year’s too ? ”
“ Yeah ! My uncle and aunt took me , ” Shanice said happily .
“ After the movie , we played some arcade games . My aunt is really good at games ! But my uncle and I had something to do , so we had to leave early .
“ Uncle Tucker took me to see a movie that morning too , ” Jordyn said , a little wistfully .
“ But he was in a hurry to meet up with his friends , so we went straight home afterward . I didn’t even know you could buy figurines there . ”
Realizing she had missed out on getting a figurine , Jordyn felt a bit disappointed .
Then , hearing Shanice praise her aunt’s gaming skills , she couldn’t help but say softly , “ My mom is really good at games too . “ !
“ Then next time , I’ll bring my aunt , and you can bring your mom ! We can play together , ” Shanice suggested cheerfully : ”
As she spoke , she noticed Trevor watching them .
Jordyn noticed too . “ Dad , what is it ? ”
Trevor smiled slightly . “ Nothing , go on with your chat . ”
“ Okay . ”
After ordering the food , Miles suddenly asked , “ By the way , Beck , how’s your company’s collaboration with YodaVision going ? Still running smoothly ? ”
Beck replied , “ Pretty good . ”
Miles raised an eyebrow , clearly intrigued . “ Oh ? No unexpected problems ? ”

Chapter 255
Wynn had been intently reading her book , but at this , her fingers froze slightly as she turned the page .
Having known each other for years , Beck naturally understood that Miles was referring to whether Celeste had caused any trouble or made any mistakes .
He noticed that Trevor was also looking over and seemed interested in the tople as well .
Lowering his gaze slightly , Beck replied , “No. ”
Miles was surprised . “ Really ? Not even one ? ”
“ Mm . ”
Wynn pursed her lips slightly before flipping to the next page .
Trevor sipped his tea in silence .
Finding the conversation uninteresting , Miles soon changed the topic .
Roughly two hours later , after finishing their meal , they all left the restaurant . Just as they stepped out , Celeste and Zachary’s group also came downstairs to leave .
Back home , Celeste immediately started studying the materials Zachary had given her .
Those documents covered the latest Al development plans from countries worldwide – in other words , everything in them was still in the conceptual stage and might not necessarily lead to actual products .
She read for a long time – so long that she didn’t even notice when night turned into morning .
It wasn’t until the sun was already high in the sky that her aunt , Adeline , gently knocked on her door . “ Cel , time for breakfast ”
Celeste responded , “ Okay , I’ll be down in a bit . ”
After brushing her teeth and taking a shower , she picked up her phone and called Matthias .
