Chapter 352
As soon as Celeste returned to her office , her phone rang .
It was a call from Jordyn .
Thinking back to what Trevor had said in the conference room – about having dinner and bringing Jordyn along- she looked at the call and didn’t answer it .
Jordyn called her three times in a row . When none of the calls were answered , she sent a message a moment later .
“ Mom , I have a fencing competition next month . Can you come with me to training tomorrow ? ”
When Celeste saw the message , her hand holding the phone suddenly froze .
Ever since Trevor had taken Jordyn to Andostan over two years ago , she had missed out on many aspects of Jordyn’s life .
For instance , she didn’t really know what classes Trevor had arranged for Jordyn , or what extracurricular activities she’d been enrolled in during those two years .
Before she had brought up the idea of divorce , Celeste had tried to ask Jordyn about these things , but Jordyn didn’t want to talk to her .
If Jordyn hadn’t mentioned it just now , she wouldn’t even have known that her daughter was learning fencing .
And the fact that she was preparing for a competition – that was something she had absolutely no idea about .
She had already missed out on so much of Jordyn’s growth .
Staring at the message , Celeste remained dazed for quite a while .
Just then , there was a knock on the door . Celeste came back to herself . “ Come in . ”
It was Kieran . He had come to discuss work . When it came to work , Kieran was always serious .
Tomorrow was the weekend .
After finishing their discussion , he remembered he’d been wanting to ask her out but hadn’t had the chance . So after wrapping up , he didn’t leave right away and instead asked , “ I saw a play a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it .
“ There’s another performance this weekend . I was planning to go again – want to come ? ”
Thinking of the message from Jordyn just moments ago , Celeste shook her head and said , “ I already have plans on Saturday . I’ll have to pass . ‘
Kieran’s eyes showed a flicker of disappointment . “ I see … ”
At that moment , still having not received a reply , Jordyn sent another message . “ Mom , please let me know . ”
Celeste saw it and picked up her phone to reply , “ Got it . I will go with you to training tomorrow morning . ”
Kieran saw she had something to deal with and didn’t disturb her further . He turned and left .
When Jordyn saw her mother’s reply , she was overjoyed and immediately called her ,
As soon as Celeste picked up , Jordyn asked excitedly , “ Mom , you finally have time tomorrow ! ”

Celeste hummed a response .
Jordyn then happily continued , “ So , what time are you coming home tonight ? ”
“ I won’t be home tonight , ” Celeste said while staring at her computer screen . “ Send me the time and location for training tomorrow . I will meet you at the training venue . ”
Jordyn had just gotten home from school .
She stood in the large villa’s entry hall , looking at the few housekeepers bustling about . Then , she realized she hadn’t seen her mom at home in a very long time .
In fact , she couldn’t even remember the last time her mom had come home .
Hearing Celeste say that , she felt a little down . But then she remembered her mom would be with her at training tomorrow , and she perked up again . “ Okay ! I’ll have Dad send you the time and address in a bit ! ”
Celeste paused for a second , then responded , “ Alright , I got it . ”
Then she asked , “ Are you home now ? ”
“ Just got home . ”
“ That’s good . ” Celeste paused again . “ I still have work to do , so I’ll hang up now . Take care of yourself , okay ? ”
“ I will ! Mom , you have to take care of yourself too ! ”
“ Mm . ”
