After finishing the call with Jordyn , Celeste hung up . About ten minutes later , Trevor sent her the time and location for Jordyn’s fencing training the next day .
But that was all he sent – just the time and address . Nothing else . Not a single extra word .

The next day , Celeste was the first to arrive at the fencing gym . Around three to four minutes later , Jordyn arrived
too .
She was only accompanied by the driver . Trevor wasn’t there .
As soon as she got out of the car , Jordyn happily grabbed Celeste’s hand and led her inside .
Just as they entered the gym , Celeste’s phone rang – it was a call from Matthias .
She turned to Jordyn and said , “ I need to take a call . ”
Jordyn replied , “ Okay , then I’ll go find my coach first . ”
“ Mm . ”
Matthias was just asking her a few work – related things . After chatting briefly , they ended the call .
Jordyn hadn’t gone far .
Her coach greeted her with a smile , “ Hey , Jordyn , you’re here ? ” Then he looked around and asked , “ Ms. Locket and Mr. Fleming didn’t come with you today ? ”
“ Nope ! My mom brought me today ! ”
Hearing their conversation , Celeste stood at the doorway for a few seconds before finally walking in .
The coach caught sight of her and was briefly stunned by her beauty . “ Miss , you are- ? ”
“ Mom ! ” Jordyn called out .
The coach paused , then smiled . “ Ah , so you’re Jordyn’s mom ? ”
Celeste nodded and shook hands with him .
Over the past six months , whenever Jordyn came to the fencing gym , it had always been Trevor or Wynn – or both -accompanying her .
The coach knew Wynn was Trevor’s girlfriend , but not Jordyn’s mother .
Since it was always the father or his girlfriend accompanying the child , and never the biological mother , he had assumed Jordyn’s mother was either divorced from Trevor or possibly even deceased .
Now that Celeste had appeared , it was clear she wasn’t . So , that meant she and Trevor were divorced .
Why they divorced , he didn’t know – it wasn’t his place . But based on the way Trevor , Wynn , and Jordyn interacted , it was clear that Trevor and his current girlfriend were very close , and Jordyn was fond of her as well . He didn’t know whether Jordyn’s closeness to Wynn had been approved by Celeste .
Since he wasn’t sure , he didn’t bring it up . Instead , he turned to praising Jordyn ,
“ Jordyn is really interested in fencing . She’s talented , too , and doing very well . She has a good chance of placing in

the top three at next month’s competition . ”
Celeste nodded and was about to respond when Jordyn ran over and grabbed her hand . “ Mom , come with me to change , okay ? ”
Celeste nodded .
After changing into her fencing gear , Jordyn’s training officially began .
Her coach was said to be a former fencing champion , so naturally , his skills and techniques were top – notch .
But perhaps Jordyn really was gifted – she was confident and fearless . During training , she didn’t hesitate at all . Her footwork was quick , her attacks bold , her defense sharp , and her reflexes incredibly fast .
In every lunge and retreat , there was already a touch of grace and power .
For a moment , Celeste could almost picture what she might look like in the future – standing tall at competitions .
But , she probably wouldn’t be there to see it .
After training for more than half an hour , Jordyn ran over , grabbed her mother’s hand , and looked up expectantly . “ Mom , did I do well ? ”
Celeste didn’t know fencing and wasn’t too familiar with the sport . But last night , she had done some research online and had gained a basic understanding .
She took the small towel Jordyn handed her , and , while wiping her sweat , praised her sincerely , “ You did really well . ”
Then , turning to the approaching coach , she said , “ Thank you for your hard work . ”
“ It’s my job , ” the coach smiled , then added , “ But Jordyn’s progress isn’t all my credit – she already had a solid foundation before she came to our gym . ”
