Chapter 424
Three days after Jordyn started staying at the Rodriguez residence her phone rang in the evening just as Celeste was in her room drying her hair .
Seeing the caller ID , Jordyn happily turned to Celeste and said , “ Mom , it’s Dad calling ! ”
Celeste gave a soft hum , and Jordyn answered the call , putting it on speakerphone . “Dad ! ”
Trevor asked , “ Have you had dinner ? ”
“ I have ! ”
After some small talk , he got to the point of his call . someone to pick you up soon . ”
rrow is he day we planned to go out with Wynn . I
I’ll be sending
Even though Celeste had been busy with work and hadn’t spent a lot of time with her , these past few days had still been very happy ones for Jordyn .
She wasn’t quite ready to leave . So , her first instinct was to say , “ Dad , I don’t want to- ”
But she suddenly paused , as if something came to mind , and changed her mind . She lowered her voice and said , “ Okay , but Dad , you have to come pick me up yourself . ” 2
Trevor , indulgent as ever when she acted spoiled , chuckled . “ Alright , I will come get you myself . ”
After hanging up , Jordyn walked over and hugged Celeste’s arm tightly . “ Mom , I don’t want to leave you … ”
When Trevor had mentioned sending someone to pick her up , she’d instinctively wanted to refuse .
If Celeste had to guess , she suspected the reason Jordyn changed her mind was because she didn’t want to disappoint Wynn .
She wasn’t ready to leave Celeste , but that didn’t stop her from choosing not to let Wynn down .
Thinking that , Celeste gently patted her head and reminded her , “ Go pack your things now . Your dad will be here soon . ”
But Jordyn wasn’t happy to hear that .
She clung to Celeste’s arm and said , “ Mom, I already told you I brought so many things this time because I didn’t want to pack again when I come over for summer break . It hasn’t even been that many days , but you’ve already forgotten ? ”
Celeste hadn’t forgotten .
It was just that , when Jordyn had mentioned it a couple of days ago Celeste didn’t agree to it .
After all , by the time summer arrived , she and Trevor would likely be officially divorced . From then on , all their interactions would follow the terms of the agreement strictly .
But she didn’t explain any of that to Jordyn . She simply said , “ I remember . ”
Then she urged her to pack up her homework .
Not long after Jordyn finished packing her things , Trevor’s car arrived .
Though the Rodriguez family didn’t like Trevor much , Betty and Ivan both doted on Jordyn . So when she was about to leave , they still went out with Celeste to see her off .
Trevor got out of the car . When he saw the elders , he greeted them politely , “ Madam Klein , Mr. Rodriguez , ”
It had been quite some time since either of them had seen him .
Hearing his greeting , they didn’t respond verbally – only nodded briefly .
Trevor then looked at Celeste , who only lowered her head and said to Jordyn , “ Get in the car . ”

As they turned back toward the house , Betty held Celeste’s hand and said , “ It’s not long before you two officially file for divorce , right ? ”
Celeste nodded . “ Mm . ”
Betty sighed and gave a small smile . “ That’s probably for the best . 1
After chatting with her for a bit , Celeste suddenly remembered something and took the initiative to send Trevor a message .
“ You should find a time to talk to Jordyn about our divorce . ”
If it were any other child , the news of their parents divorcing might be hard to accept .
But Jordyn was different . Telling her would be fine .
A while later , Trevor replied , “ Alright . I’ll find the right time to tell her . ” 2
Just as Celeste put her phone down and was about to get back to her work , he sent another message .
“ If you have anything you’d like to add to our divorce agreement , feel free to have your lawyer contact mine . If it’s reasonable , I’ll agree to it . ” 15
