At noon , Celeste and Trevor’s group arrived at the restaurant for lunch after their meeting .
Just as they walked up to their private dining room , the door of the room next to them suddenly opened .
As if afraid people wouldn’t hear , Linda called out – loudly , “ Trev ! ”
Seeing Wynn was there as well , Bryson smiled and said, “ So , Ms. Locket is dining here too- what a coincidence . ”
Wynn smiled . “ Quite the coincidence indeed . ”
&
Though she said that , the truth was that this encounter wasn’t coincidental at all .
The news that Trevor and Celeste had officially gone to the courthouse that morning to file for divorce had already reached their entire family .
When Linda learned that Trevor would be dining in the area at noon – and that Celeste would be there too – she deliberately had their own private room arranged directly opposite theirs .
That was how this “ coincidental ” meeting happened .
The thought that Trevor had immediately called Celeste to file the divorce paperwork right after settling the agreement delighted Linda .
What made her even happier , even more excited , was the fact that in just 30 days , Trevor could finalize his divorce from Celeste .
After that , Wynn and Trevor would surely get married right away !
Then there’d be no place left for Celeste .
With that thought , Linda glanced at Celeste , full of smug satisfaction .
Although Wynn had never openly pushed for Trevor to divorce Celeste , it would be a lie to say she wasn’t anxious about it .
Even if she had absolute confidence in her relationship with Trevor , as long as he remained legally married to Celeste , no matter how deep their bond , her position lacked legitimacy . 2
So, when she heard on Saturday that Trevor had already finalized the terms of the divorce agreement and had arranged to go to the courthouse on Monday , how could she not feel pleased ?
And it wasn’t just the two of them ; the entire Shaw and Locket families were thrilled as well .

Erin gave Celeste a single glance before withdrawing her gaze as if she were invisible , while Patricia couldn’t stop smiling .
Wynn said to Trevor , “ You go ahead . We won’t keep you . ”
“I’ll come to see you in a bit , ” he replied .
Wynn smiled . “ Alright . ”
The way they spoke made them look like a couple deeply in love . 1
Bryson and the others chuckled teasingly .
As for Celeste and Matthias , the moment they saw the Shaw and Locket families , they didn’t linger – they went straight into their private room .
Matthias sneered , “ They’re just here to show off . ”
“I know , ” Celeste said . It was obvious .
“ What a bunch of trash . They’re really ridiculous . ”
After the greetings , Trevor and his party entered their private room, and the Shaw and Locket families returned to theirs .
Patricia truly was pleased . But not entirely .
Leaning over to whisper in Lilian’s ear , she said , “ Now that she’s left Trevor , ending up with Matthias is a bit too lucky for that little tramp . ”
After all , it was Matthias . Not to mention , Matthias had Zachary behind him .
Every time she thought about that , it was like a bone stuck in her throat – impossible to ignore .
She wasn’t alone in that . Ever since hearing that Celeste had genuinely learned some skills under Matthias , both Lilian and Wynn had been uneasy .
Patricia gritted her teeth and continued , “ Once she’s divorced , she’ll be a divorcée . What gives her the right ? ”
The thought of Celeste being a divorcée made Lilian feel slightly better .
“ As long as they’re not married , nothing’s final . No need to rush . ”
Patricia knew that too . But she still wasn’t happy . As long as there was a chance Celeste might marry Matthias , she couldn’t be at ease . 1

In the next room , Celeste had no idea what the Shaw family was plotting .
Once everyone in Trevor’s party was seated , conversation flowed , and the atmosphere was quite relaxed .
A short while later , Trevor stood up . “ Please continue . I’m stepping out for a bit . I won’t be long . ”
He had told Wynn earlier he’d stop by her room again . So , his sudden departure now could only mean one thing – he was going next door to see Wynn .
Bryson and the others laughed , “ Go ahead , Mr. Fleming . No need to hurry – we’re in no rush . ”
Rodney echoed with a laugh , “ Exactly , take
your time . ‘
Trevor smiled and left .
Celeste and Matthias quietly watched the scene unfold , not even bothering to give him another look .
Celeste didn’t pay much attention to how long he was gone , but Matthias had had enough . ” He’s been gone for nearly ten minutes . The nerve of him . ”
Celeste was just about to respond when Trevor pushed the door open and returned .
So , she said nothing .
Matthias rolled his eyes .
Trevor sat back down and rejoined the conversation as if nothing had happened .
At that moment , Celeste’s phone suddenly rang .
She paused when she saw the caller ID .
Matthias noticed the strange look on her face , leaned over to take a glance , and asked in surprise , “ Caleb ? Why’s he calling you ? ”
He hadn’t spoken loudly , but Bryson and those seated nearby , including Trevor , all heard it .
Thinking of Caleb’s previous confession , Celeste was at a loss for how to respond .
