but with Celeste .
Celeste was listening quietly by her side when her phone suddenly buzzed .
It was a message from Trevor .
“ I have to fly back to Andostan tomorrow afternoon for work . The divorce might need to be postponed another week . ”
Celeste frowned as she read the message and began typing a reply . “ Can’t you fly back on Monday morning instead ? ”
Trevor replied quickly . “ I tried , but it’s not possible . Sorry . ”
Celeste pressed her lips together and didn’t reply .
Perhaps sensing that she would be upset , Trevor sent another message . “ Even if I can’t make it back by next Friday , I will definitely be back before the Monday after that . Rest assured . ”
Since he had now given a clear timeline , Celeste felt a bit more reassured .
She didn’t reply further and set her phone aside . 2
Trevor likely knew she had read the message . Since she didn’t respond , he didn’t send her any more .
After chatting with Celeste for a while , Jordyn grew sleepy and soon fell asleep .
Celeste tucked her in , then went to the bathroom to shower . She had been exhausted from the day’s work .
After showering , she got into bed and was about to turn off the lights .
Sensing her presence , Jordyn reached over and curled up in her arms , mumbling softly , “ Mom … Mom … ”
Thinking she was awake , Celeste responded gently , “ Mm – hmm , Go to sleep . ” 1
But Jordyn didn’t reply . When Celeste looked down , she realized the girl was still asleep – yet her small hand was tightly clutching her clothes . 1
The next day , Trevor arrived on time to pick Jordyn up .
She had already changed and was carrying her little backpack . When she learned Trevor was outside , she grabbed Celeste’s hand and pulled her downstairs .
The rest of the Rodriguez family members , Betty and Ivan , knew Trevor was outside , but pretended not to see him . They didn’t greet him or invite him in . 1
When Jordyn said goodbye to them , they simply said , “ Have fun , Jordyn . ”
Since she was pulling Celeste along , Celeste had no choice but to go outside to send her off .
But she only walked Jordyn to the doorway before letting go of her hand . She didn’t walk over to Trevor with her .
Jordyn ran over and threw herself into Trevor’s arms . “ Dad ! ‘
He picked her up and said a few words to her before looking over at Celeste . “ I’ll bring her back later today . Thank you in advance for taking care of her for the coming week . “ 6

Celeste simply replied , “ Got it . ”
Trevor nodded . After Jordyn waved goodbye to her mother , he carried her into the car and left the Rodriguez residence .
Currently , YodaVision , Fleming Group , and Velotra had many technical matters that required Celeste’s direct involvement .
Even on weekends , she had no real free time .
So , after Trevor left with Jordyn , Celeste with Betty and Ivan made a quick trip to visit Isabelle in the hospital .
After returning home , she just went upstairs to continue working .
Trevor’s flight back to Andostan was scheduled for just after five in the evening . After personally bringing Jordyn back at around three , he rushed to the airport . 2
News that he had flown overseas again so soon after returning had reached the Lockets and the Shaws . 1
Patricia , in particular , was unhappy . “ Since he came all the way back , what would’ve been the harm in staying just one more day to finalize the divorce ? ” 3
Linda pouted and echoed , “ Exactly . ” 2
Even though Trevor was divorcing Celeste because of Wynn , and Wynn had said that no matter what , he’d be back by the Monday after next to finalize the divorce , they were still uneasy . 3
As long as he and Celeste remained legally married , there was always the chance something could change . 6
So , even if Trevor couldn’t marry Wynn immediately after the divorce , they all hoped the divorce could happen as soon as possible .
Wynn herself naturally wished for the same . But with things as they were , all she could do was wait . 1
Still , when she thought about how Trevor had found time from his packed schedule to fly all the way back from Andostan just to celebrate Jordyn’s birthday , it made Patricia a bit uncomfortable . 2
She said , “ Trevor really is overly devoted to that daughter of his . ” 13
Wynn didn’t respond .
After all , she understood better than anyone how much Trevor valued and cared for Jordyn .
Noticing that Wynn didn’t look too pleased either , Patricia comforted her . “ Don’t worry . Once you and Trevor have
a child of your own , given how deep your relationship is , I’m sure he’ll love your child even more . ” 16
Wynn simply responded with a hum . 5
