When Jordyn learned that Trevor had rushed back from bein ; abroad just to surprise her , she finally brightened up . She excitedly ran downstairs with her phone in hand .
Celeste watched her , paused for a moment , and then followed her down and notified the security guard to let Trevor’s car in .
When Trevor’s car pulled into the Rodriguez courtyard , Jordyn ran out and threw herself excitedly into his arms as he stepped out of the car .
Today was her birthday , but Trevor hadn’t called once , and Celeste had been out working all day . She’d felt like neither of them cared about her and had been upset and down the entire day . 3
Now , seeing that Trevor had rushed back just to spend her birthday with her , her eyes turned red in an instant . The bottled – up sadness surged back as she felt the weight of his concern . 29
When Jordyn pounced into his arms , Trevor reached out to rub her head . As he crouched to hug her , he realized she was crying .
His hand froze for a moment , a flicker of surprise in his eyes . But he quickly understood .
It wasn’t just because he didn’t call her all day . But Celeste must have done something that made her feel neglected and hurt , too . ( 5 )
That was why seeing him now triggered such an emotional release .
He looked up at Celeste , who stood a short distance away without approaching .
Their eyes met briefly , but Celeste said nothing .
Seeing Jordyn cry , she knew the girl felt neglected and hurt . But even so , she just stood there watching , saying nothing . 2
Seeing that Celeste didn’t speak or respond to their daughter’s crying , Trevor didn’t comment . 7
Instead , he turned his attention back to Jordyn , gently wiping away her tears and saying , “ It was wrong of me not to call and not to get back earlier . I messed up . ” ( 1 )
Jordyn’s feelings weren’t entirely because of him . But now that someone was comforting her , she finally let it all
out .
The more Trevor spoke , the more wronged she felt and the harder she cried .
Trevor didn’t try to stop her from crying . He just held her in his arms and patted her back gently in silent comfort .
After crying for a while , her emotions gradually settled . Her sobs quieted and finally stopped . Only then did Trevor let her go and hand her the gift he had prepared . 2
Seeing the present , Jordyn cheered up and wiped her tears , saying , “ Thank you , Dad . ”
While father and daughter chatted where they stood , Celeste remained in place , still not coming closer . 23
After a while , Trevor asked Jordyn , “ There’s about an hour left before midnight . Is there anything else you’d like to do ? ”
Jordyn tilted her head , thought for a moment , then shook her head . “ Nope . ”
Trevor glanced toward Celeste and asked , “ Then , would you like to come home with me , or stay here with Mom

tonight ? ”
Jordyn paused and then turned to look at Celeste .
Celeste said nothing , quietly waiting for her to decide ..
Jordyn knew Celeste didn’t prioritize her like she used to . But whenever she made a request , Celeste still tried her best to fulfill it .
That meant , deep down , Celeste still cared about her .
With that in mind , she walked over to Celeste , took her hand , and said to Trevor , “ I want to stay here with Mom . ” ( 2 )
Trevor didn’t object and looked to Celeste .
It was still Jordyn’s birthday , and what she just said counted as her real birthday wish .
Since she wanted to stay at the Rodriguez residence tonight with her , there was no way Celeste could say no .
So , she reached out and gently held the girl’s hand . “ Alright ”
Then she added , “ It’s getting late – we should all rest now , fordyn , say goodnight to Dad . ”
Jordyn said , “ Goodnight , Dad . ” But right after , she seemed reluctant to part and blurted out , “ Dad , you have to come pick me up tomorrow morning . ”
Trevor smiled and agreed , “ Okay . ”
Then he turned to Celeste and said , “ Thank you for tonight . 5
Celeste replied flatly , “ It’s my responsibility .”
With that , she said no more , just turned and led Jordyn back into the house .
Trevor watched them walk away and entered the house before getting into his car and leaving . ( 13
