The next day , when Celeste went upstairs after breakfast , je noticed fondyn was on a video call with Trevor .
Jordyn looked up and called mit to her
Celeste hummed a soft reply , then opened her laptop .
On the other end of the phone , Trevor asked , “ Do you have any plans for today ? ”
Jordyn was lying on the bed . Cheerfully , she replied , “ I want to watch a movie , and Mom will be taking me to see one this aftemoon ! ”
Celeste was engrossed in the materials she had organized the day before .
Moments later , Jordyn came over holding the phone . “ Mom , Dad wants me to give this to you .”
Celeste paused , took the phone , and glanced at Trevor’s face on the screen . She didn’t feel like having a video chat , so she placed the phone on the desk , pointing the front camera at the ceiling . “ What is it ? ”
Thank you for taking care of Jo these few days , ” Trevor sail .
Celeste didn’t reply . Her attention was still on her laptop as she typed, adding in the ideas she had missed yesterday .
“ Anything else ? ” she asked .
“ No , ” Trevor said . “ Enjoy your Ember Festival . ”
Celeste muttered a soft reply before ending the call . She handed the phone back to Jordyn .
As noon approached and she was just about to take Jordyn out , her phone rang .
It was Matthias .
She smiled slightly and picked up . The moment the call connected , Matthias’s voice dropped to a hushed tone . Shit , I just ran into those two again ! ”
Celeste stilled . She knew exactly who he was talking about ,
Before she could speak , Matthias caught Trevor and Wynn looking his way .
Matthias was at a loss for words .
Seconds later , he uttered , “ They’re heading over . I’m gonna hang up . ”
“ Okay .
The moment she ended the call , Trevor and Wynn had already reached Matthias ,
“ Where are you off to , Mr. Yoder ? ”
Matthias didn’t answer . Instead , he flashed a tight and insincere smile . “ Mr. Fleming , Ms. Locket , we’re not exactly friends . Next time , feel free to just walk past me . ”
Wynn laughed lightly . “ Mr. Yoder , you really do have a way with words . ”
Matthias quirked a brow , about to respond , when Wynn noticed his suitcase . “ Oh ? Headed abroad , Mr. Yoder ? ”
He let out a dry chuckle . “ I don’t recall us being on speaking terms , so , no . No comments . ”

Once he was far enough away , he redialed Celeste . “ What are you up to ? ”
Celeste had just changed into fresh clothes . “ Getting ready to head out for a movie , ”
“ Sounds good . ”
He asked , “ Going solo ? ”
“ With Jo . ”
Matthias was speechless for a brief moment .
“ Wasn’t she supposed to be with the Flemings for the Ember Festival ? Why’s she at your place ? ”
While adjusting her makeup , Celeste replied nonchalantly , “ They dropped her off here last night . ”
Matthias snorted . “ So , Trevor wants some alone time with Wynn , but your daughter gets in the way , so they just dropped her off at your place ? Wow . No shame at all . ”
Celeste didn’t respond .
Just then , Jordyn came bouncing over and grabbed her hand “ I’m ready , Mom ! Let’s go . ”
“ Alright . ”
She then told Matthias , “ Forget them . Just – have fun. ”
Matthias sighed . “ Yeah , yeah . I’ll be back soon – won’t leave the company

Chuckling , Celeste replied , “ Okay . ”
