Beck’s tone softened as soon as he heard her voice . “ Shanice hasn’t seen you in a while . Are you free this weekend ? Maybe we can go out for a bit ? ”
Celeste glanced at the data models she had been organizing on her computer . “ I’m tied up these next two days . Will next week be okay ? ”
Hearing she was busy , Beck lowered his gaze . “ No problem . Next week , then . ”
“ Alright . ”
Her mind was already back on the date , Celeste added . “ Let’s leave it at that for now ? ”
Beck paused . “ Okay . ”
Celeste ended the call and stayed busy at work until after 10:00 pm before leaving YodaVision Co.
The next morning , she went to the Yuvenhart manor .
When Gideon went abroad for treatment years ago , Jordyn was already over two years old .
Back then , she was especially adorable and quite close to Gideon . He was very fond of her .
Even when he left for recovery overseas , he had been reluctant to part with her . This was something even Trevor , who hadn’t paid much attention to Jordyn back then , should have known .
Gideon had waited so long to return to the country . The last time he invited them over , it was clear he really wanted to see Jordyn . But Trevor had brought Wynn instead and left Jordyn behind .
This time , Gideon said Jordyn would be coming too . But when Celeste arrived there , Jordyn hadn’t arrived y
1 yet .
Seeing her , Gideon greeted her with a beaming smile . “ I had them prepare all kinds of delicious food for you . Make sure you eat plenty later . ”
Celeste smiled . “ Okay . ”
After chatting for a while , Gideon paused and said , “ I heard the other day that Trevor , the bastard , planned to bring Wynn to Martha’s birthday banquet . Naturally , she refused and warned him that if he dared bring Wynn to her celebration and ruin it , she wouldn’t show up to her own party . ”
Celeste paused mid – sip of coffee .
Gideon continued , “ That bastard Trevor might be infuriating , but this is the first birthday celebration Martha has held in all these years . He seems to have backed down . Still , it upset her enough that she’s been in a bad mood . these days . If you have time , give her a call . Talk to her for a bit . ”
Celeste nodded slowly . “ Alright . ”
Last time , Trevor had called and texted her, even showing up outside YodaVision Co. to wait for her . B. day , he never contacted her again . She hadn’t given it much thought since .

Now that Gideon mentioned it , she suddenly realized – Trevor must have already compromised . Knowing there was no need to convince her anymore , he had stopped reaching out .
Gideon added , “ The others – Lincoln and the rest – won’t accept them . ”
Trevor stepping back from the birthday banquet made sense . But when it came to marrying Wynn , if Trevor

insisted , no one could really stop him . Gideon clearly understood that too .
He frowned and clicked his tongue , his mood souring before quickly changing the subject .
They chatted for over ten more minutes when the sound of a car came fro
outside .

Last time Trevor visited , Gideon hadn’t bothered to greet him . But , guessing this time the visitor might be Jordyn , Gideon’s eyes lit up , and he stood . “ That should be Jo . ”
He walked quickly toward the door . A while later , Celeste followed .
As Gideon expected , it was Jordynt .
She had just gotten out of the car . When she saw Celeste , she ran toward her excitedly .
“ Mom ! ”
Before Celeste could say anything , Gideon was already smiling at Jordyn , about to speak .
But when he saw Trevor step out of the car , his smile vanished .
He snorted and gave Trevor a cold glare . “ I recall saying you should have someone drop Jo off . Didn’t I tell you not to come and annoy me ? What are you doing there ? ”
Trevor looked at Celeste standing beside Gideon , then smiled as he replied , “ I thought you were being sarcastic . ”
Gideon let out another snort . Trevor said , “ Alright , don’t be mad . I’m just here to drop Jo off . I’ll leave in a bit . ” Ignoring him , Gideon turned back to Jordyn with a warm gaze . “ Jo , I’m Mr. Yuvenhart Senior . We used to have a lot of fun together . Do you remember me ? ”
Jordyn held Celeste’s hand and looked at Gideon , shaking her head .
While Gideon interacted with Jordyn , Trevor glanced at Celeste but didn’t say anything . After a moment , he simply said to Gideon , “ I’m heading out now , ” then got in his car and drove away .
