Chapter 296
Gideon was truly angry .
He ignored Trevor completely and looked at Celeste instead “ Come on , Celeste . I’ll take you out for a meal . ”
Celeste set down her teacup and stood up . “ Alright . ”
With that , Gideon didn’t spare Trevor another glance and left with Celeste .
Trevor remained seated on the couch , calmly , sipping his tea . He neither got up to follow them nor tried to stop them from leaving .
Wynn looked at their backs as they walked out . “ This- ”
Trevor said , “ It’s fine . Just give it some time . ”
In other words , after enough time passed , Gideon would accept reality and slowly start accepting her ?
Gideon had witnessed the state of Celeste and Trevor’s marriage during the first two or three years after they got married . He had seen clearly from the start that Trevor didn’t like Celeste . And now , Trevor had someone else he cared for .
Though Trevor had always had a good relationship with elders like Martha and Gideon , he was never someone easily swayed by them . So , even if they disapproved of his relationship with Wynn , there was really nothing they could do about it — and no way they could talk him out of it .
As angry as Gideon was , he could only stew in silence .
With that in mind , Gideon gently patted the back of Celeste’s hand . “ These past few years … sigh . ”
Celeste knew he was expressing sympathy . She gave a soft smile and said , “ I’ve already let it go . I have a new life of my own now , and I’m doing well . You don’t have to worry about me , Mr. Yuvenhart . ”
Gideon smiled . “ Good , that’s good . ”
After lunch , when Celeste brought Gideon back to his manor , Trevor and Wynn were already gone .
Maybe after they had left the manor , Trevor and Wynn didn’t bother checking in on Jordyn – because as Celeste was leaving , Jordyn called her . She looked at the call , but didn’t answer .
That evening , when Celeste went back to the Rodriguez residence for dinner , she saw an invitation envelope sitting on the coffee table .
Opening it , she saw it was an invitation to Martha’s 75th birthday celebration .
Technically , there was still some time before Martha’s actual birthday . But a few years ago , a fortune teller had told her that she shouldn’t hold a major birthday celebration within the next ten years , or she would face a life- threatening calamity .
Martha took it seriously . So , for the past decade , she always just had a simple meal with family on her birthday- never throwing a proper banquet .
Now that the ten – year period had passed , Lincoln , Trevor , and the others had already talked about throwing party for her this year .
-g
That was probably why , even though the event was still a while away , they had already finalized the details and started sending out invitations .

Betty came out of her room and saw the invitation In Celeste’s hand . “ It was just delivered ”
“ Okay . ” Celeste gave a soft nod .
Betty added , “ This is the first time in a decade she’s hosting a proper birthday banquet . Technically , we should attend no matter what , but- ”
But given the situation between Celeste and Trevor , it really didn’t feel appropriate .
And honestly , she didn’t want to go either .
Celeste understood exactly what Betty was thinking – she felt the same .
Besides , Trevor had already brought Wynn to the manor . When the party came , under pressure from Martha , there was no telling if he might show up with Wynn too .
She set that aside for now .
After dinner with the Rodriguez family , Celeste returned to her own place .
On Monday morning , she headed back to work at YodaVision as usual .
When work got busy , time always flew by and before she knew it , Thursday had arrived again .
