Chapter 276
Celeste instinctively reached out , steadying Jordyn to keep her from falling
But the moment Jordyn crashed into her arms , Wynn’s perfume drifted into her nose once again .
Celeste took the girl’s backpack and set it aside on the couch . Just as Jordyn was about to run toward the bed , Celeste gently pulled her back . “ Did you shower ? ”
“ I did . ”
And yet , Wynn’s scent still lingered on her . That could only mean one thing – Wynn had either been living with Trevor , or the two of them had just dropped her off together .
They just hadn’t bothered to come inside .
“ You’re all sweaty ,
change into something clean , ” Celeste said flatly .
Jordyn recalled that after her shower , she had been running around and probably worked up a little sweat .
Hence , she nodded obediently and went into the bathroom to change .
Celeste , on the other hand , continued to organize her research materials .
As soon as Jordyn finished changing , she came out of the bathroom . Then , she took out a bunny – shaped light wand from her backpack . “ Mom , look ! It’s a light wand . ”
Celeste glanced at it , then paused for a quick moment . “ This … ”
“ Dad bought it for me ! Isn’t it cute ? ”
Celeste nodded .
Jordyn then ran over , turned off the lights in Celeste’s room and switched on the light wand . With excitement written all over her face , she asked , “ Isn’t it prettier when the lights are off ? ”
“ Yeah , it is . ”
She added , “ Do you like it a lot ? ”
“ Yes , I love it ! ” With that , Jordyn took out another light wand from her backpack . “ Dad bought me two , and this one’s for you ! Mom , will you take a stroll with me downstairs with the light wand ? ”
“ I already took a shower , Jo . Let’s wait until tomorrow . And you’ve changed your clothes too ; we don’t want to get them dirty . “ ”
Jordyn’s enthusiasm seemed to fade a bit , her excitement cooling off . “ Oh … ”
She remembered it had been over a month since she’d last seen Celeste .
Noticing that Celeste didn’t seem particularly interested in the light wand , Jordyn stopped showing it to her and put it away . Then , she ran over to hug her . “ Mom .. ”
Celeste put away her book. “ What’s wrong ? ”
Jordyn didn’t say anything . She kicked off her shoes and snuggled into her embrace .
“ I missed you so much , Mom . ”
With that , she wrapped her arms around Celeste’s neck , planting a few kisses on her cheek

“ Mom , you smell so nice , ” she said gleefully .
Celeste tightened her arms around Jordyn . Seconds later , she caressed her face quietly .
She could tell that Jordyn’s face changed slightly , showing hint of maturity .
It seemed she was beginning to look more like Trevor .
Celeste lowered her gaze and saw that Jordyn wasn’t wearing any socks . She gently placed her on the bed and covered her feet with the blanket . “ How long are you staying here this time ? ”
Jordyn shook her head . “ I don’t know . Dad didn’t say anything about it . He just asked me to wait for him here , ” she answered .
Celeste nodded slightly , saying nothing .
Just then , Jordyn remembered something . She hopped off the bed to rummage through her backpack . “ Mom , I bought a souvenir for you when I went abroad . ”
She found the crystal ball she had bought for Celeste and eagerly handed it to her .
After getting close to Wynn , it had been a long while since Jordyn prepared any gifts for Celeste .
Celeste took the gift with composure . “ Thank you . I like it a lot . ”
