Since that was the case , Jordyn would most likely be spending the Ember Festival at Fleming Manor ,
Betty felt reluctant to part with Jordyn and also felt sorry for Celeste . However , Celeste remained calm and reassured Betty , saying , “ Gramy , I’m fine . As long as Jo is happy . ”
Betty , however , felt that she was just putting on a brave face so as not to make her worry . She sighed silently and didn’t bring it up again .
After breakfast , Celeste and Adeline went out to buy some goods for the festival .
The shopping streets outside were decorated beautifully , in familiar festival songs were played everywhere , creating a strong festive atmosphere .
In fact , Adeline and the others had already done a round of shopping .
Most of the necessities were already prepared at home , so today was just about filling in the things they had⚫ missed
Children could already be seen on the streets dressed in festive cotton outfits , carrying adorable light wands in their hands .
Celeste stopped in her tracks as she watched a little girl bouncing along the street .
Every year before Jordyn left with Trevor , she would buy her two or three sets of these cotton outfits for the festival .
Jordyn loved them . She also loved the little light wands .
For several days during the holidays , the light wands were her favorite toys . At night , she would light a candle Inside and carry the light wand around , playing with it for hours without getting bored .
But that was two years ago .
In the two years since Jordyn left , one year was spent celebrating abroad with Trevor .
Last year , she came back . But she no longer liked these festive things .
She found them tacky and refused to wear them .
But , Celeste never forced her .
She picked out other things for her instead , but Jordyn didn’t like those either .
At first , she thought she simply couldn’t keep up with Jordyn’s tastes . Later , she realized that Jordyn just didn’t want to wear anything she bought .
Celeste slowly withdrew her gaze and thoughts , catching up with Betty and Adeline .
When Hector and Jamie heard that Celeste , Adeline , and Betty were out shopping , they secretly contacted Celeste , asking her to buy more fireworks so they could set them off in the garden later that night .
Celeste smiled at the message and replied , “ Okay . ”
In all the years she had been married to Trevor , he was not only rarely in Baumond , but even during holidays , h was often flying around the world

Thinking about it now , it had been seven years since she last spent the Ember Festival with the Rodriguez family . Putting away her phone with a smile , she was just about to buy the fireworks when her phone suddenly rang
It was a call from Matthias .
He told her he had bought a lot of expensive fireworks and would be sending some over to her ,
Celeste didn’t stand on ceremony and said , “ Thank you , Mathias . ”
From the way Matthias spoke , it seemed like he was sending quite a lot , so she figured there was no need to buy more herself .
Not long after , her phone rang again .
This time , it was Beck calling .
Celeste paused before answering , “ Mr. Harper . ”
“ I ordered a small batch of fireworks some time ago . Shanice told me to send some to you . Send me the address , and I’ll have someone deliver them to you . ”
Celeste was momentarily stunned and instinctively refused , “ Mr. Harper , there’s no need- ”
“ Then why don’t you call Shanice yourself and tell her that? ”
She fell silent for two seconds before saying , “ Please thank Shanice for me . ”
