Chapter 268
“ Dad ! Wynn ! ”
As soon as she exited the airport and saw Trevor and Wyn Jordyn let go of Hannah’s hand and ran toward them , throwing herself into their arms .
Once in the car , Jordyn rummaged through her little backpack and handed over the small trinkets she had bought during her trip .
“ Dad , Wynn , I got you gifts ! ”
Wynn took them and gently ruffled her hair , smiling “ Thank you , Jo . ”
That evening , since Martha was being discharged from the hospital , Trevor and Jordyn were heading back to the manor for dinner .
After dropping Wynn off at her home , Trevor instructed the driver to turn the car toward the Fleming Manor .
On the way back , Trevor was busy handling work affairs . So , Jordyn didn’t disturb him and played by herself .
When they arrived at the manor , Jordyn hopped out of the car , slung her little backpack over her shoulders , and ran toward the house , calling out , “ Mom ! Mom ! ”
Trevor put away his laptop and got out of the car . Hearing this , he said unhurriedly , “ Your mom isn’t here . ”
Jordyn froze in her tracks and turned back to look at him . “ Huh ? Mom’s not here ? ”
“ No. ”
“ She’s still busy ? ”
Trevor ruffled her little head with his large hand . “ Maybe you should call and ask her . ”
“ Okay . ”
Lately , every time she called , her mom never picked up .
It wasn’t so bad when she was at home , but when she was abroad , with neither Trevor nor Wynn around – though they called and video – chatted with her every day – it wasn’t the same as having them by her side .
She had felt lonely and homesick .
In the first few days overseas , the person she missed most was her mom . She called every day , but her mom never answered .
Eventually , she got used to it and figured her mom was probably too busy to take her calls . So , she stopped calling .
Before returning home , she had hoped her mom would come to pick her up at the airport .
But since Trevor and Wynn had said they would be there , Jordyn hadn’t called Celeste . She had assumed that once she arrived at the manor , Celeste would definitely be there .
But now , thinking about it , Jordyn suddenly didn’t want to call anymore . She figured that even if she did , her morn still wouldn’t have time to answer .
At that moment , all the excitement of coming home faded away .
Trevor crouched down slightly , pinched her cheek lightly , and raised an eyebrow . “ Are you crying ? ”

Jordyn pursed her lips , turned her face away , and muttered , “ No , I’m not ! ”
Trevor smirked . “ So , you’ve given up ? You don’t want to call your moin anymore ? ” Jordyn didn’t respond . After a long pause , she whispered reluctantly , “ N No …
She still wanted to call .
Trevor chuckled but said nothing more . He simply reached out , picked her up , and said , “ Let’s go inside . ”
Jordyn wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled into his warth , broad embrace . Finally , she felt a little better . Inside , the Fleming family was waiting for them to start dier . When they walked in , all eyes turned toward them . Especially Martha – her face instantly lit up with joy when she saw Jordyn . “ Jo , you’re back ? Come here , let me have a good look at you . ”
Jordyn climbed down from Trevor’s arms and ran over . “ Nana ! ”
Then she greeted the others . “ Grandma , Aunt Teagan , Uncle Tucker . ”
Jordyn giggled as he teased her .
Then , out of nowhere , Tucker tilted his head and asked , “ By the way , Trey , where’s Celeste ? ”
