Chapter 451
Chapter 451
At around noon on Sunday , Kieran was out having a meal with his friend .
Seeing Kieran on his phone , looking busy , his friend leaned over to take a look . After reading the content on his screen , his friend winced .
“ Come on , it’s the weekend . YodaVision’s not paying you that much – are you really still working through the weekends ? I thought you were racking your brains trying to ask Ms. Rodriguez out . ”
Kieran was doing it out of personal ambition . It had nothing to do with YodaVision . So , he didn’t respond to his friend’s comment .
Before he found out that Celeste was still married , he was spending every week trying to come up with ways to ask her out .
But she had told him she wasn’t divorced yet .
Judging by her tone , she and her husband really were at the stage of separation , but legally , they were still married
Seeing Kieran lost in thought and silent , his friend tapped the table . “ Why so quiet ? What are you thinking about ? ”
Kieran snapped out of his reverie .
Before , assuming Celeste was already divorced , he hadn’t thought much about her husband .
But ever since learning she wasn’t divorced yet and that her husband was the one filing for divorce , certain thoughts had begun creeping into his mind .
He had known Celeste for some time now , and in his eyes , she was kind , beautiful , easy to get along with , and talented .
Suddenly , he was curious – what kind of man would be willing to divorce someone like Celeste ? 3
Just as he was about to ask his friend to help look into the guy , someone suddenly called out to him .
“ Kieran ? ”
Kieran looked up .
It was Wynn .
Wynn smiled and walked over . “ Out and about this early ? I thought you’d still be in bed . ”
Kieran glanced at her , his tone flat . “ Do you need something ? ” 2
Since Kieran joined YodaVision , they’d barely interacted in private . And ever since he found out she was with Trevor , his attitude toward her had been distant .
Wynn didn’t mind and said , “ Your sister reached out to me again a few days ago . She still hopes you’ll return home to help with the family business , but no matter what , you just won’t listen … ”
As she spoke , she sat down and added , “ You’ve been out on your own for a few months now . But staying at YodaVision like this isn’t really sustainable either . Why not just- ” 31
Hearing that , Kieran paused .
He couldn’t quite understand why , despite her passion for AI and knowing just how incredible YodaVision was , she was still trying to convince him to go back and inherit the family business .

But he didn’t want to argue . He cut her off and said , “This between me and my family . I can handle it myself . ” 2
Kieran looked a bit displeased , and seeing this , Wynn didn ‘ push further . She simply said , “ I understand that you’re reluctant to leave YodaVision . Honestly , I get it – I’ve always wanted to work there myself .
“ It’s just … I heard your father’s health hasn’t been great lately … ”
Kieran replied , “ I’m aware . ”
“ That’s good then . ”
Just then , Kieran’s friend finally jumped into the conversation with a polite smile . “ Ms. Locket , are you here alone today ? I haven’t seen Mr. Fleming . ”
“ I came with my family , ” Wynn replied as she accepted the cup of tea handed to her . “ As for Trevor , he’s on a business trip . He’ll be back soon . ” 1
“ Oh , I see . ”
At that moment , Jorge walked over quickly and said , “ Ms. Locket , what a coincidence . ”
Wynn nodded with a smile . “ It really is . ”
Then , seeing the person behind him , she greeted , “ Mr. Jennings ? It’s been a while . ”
Caleb gave a small nod and didn’t speak . Instead , he looked over at Kieran , who was sitting nearby . 1
Wynn noticed and started introducing them , “ This is Kieran Gibson . Kieran , this is— ”
But before she could finish , Caleb and Kieran both looked at each other , expressions unreadable . Then , in perfect sync , they interrupted her and said , “ We’ve met . ”
It wasn’t just Wynn , but even Jorge was momentarily stunned , his expression showing clear surprise .
After all , to their knowledge , these two had never crossed paths before .
