Chapter 457
After finishing her work and leaving the base , Celeste returned home and turned on her phone . It was then that she found out Trevor had replied to her message more than an hour after she had left for the base .
His reply was a simple “ Okay . ” 20
Perhaps because he had failed to keep their original appointment , in the past half month , aside from that single reply , he hadn’t called her even once .
Instead , it was Jordyn who had called her around five times over the last ten days .
Seeing this , Celeste simply sent Trevor a message . “ I’m done with work . I’m available on Monday . ”
After sending the message and waiting quite a while with no response , she didn’t bother to wait further .
As for the missed calls from Jordyn , Celeste figured she probably just missed her – there wasn’t anything urgent .
So , Celeste didn’t return the call . ( 1 )
It had been nearly half a month since she’d last visited Isabelle in the hospital .
After taking a shower and having breakfast , she went to the hospital with her family to visit her .
Isabelle’s organ failure was gradually improving . Celeste gratefully said , “ Thank you , Dr. Tindall . ”
Lauren patted her on the shoulder and said , “ No need to thank me — it’s what I should do . ”
After the visit , Celeste and Betty took the elevator downstairs . As they stepped out , they happened to see Patricia , Wynn , and Linda . 2
Seeing them , both Celeste and Betty paused for a second but then composed themselves and walked out as usual .
However , Patricia and Linda didn’t look too pleased .
Since Trevor brought up divorcing Celeste , they had heard that she had been cooperating well .
Their appointment to finalize the divorce had already been delayed for over two weeks because of Trevor’s work . They had expected to finalize things last Monday once he was free .
But unexpectedly , Celeste “ disappeared ” right at that moment she stopped showing up for work and stopped answering calls .
To them , it was clear Celeste was intentionally hiding to avoid the 30 – day decision period , trying to stall the divorce . 95
At first , they hadn’t realized she had gone missing . They only found out after asking around . 1
Thinking of this , Linda glared at Celeste fiercely . Patricia’s gaze was also cold as she looked at her . 1
Celeste noticed it and glanced back at them coldly .
Neither Patricia nor Linda expected Celeste to actually dare to glare back at them . 2
Patricia’s expression darkened , but before she could speak , Linda exploded , “ You- “ 1
Wynn interrupted , “ Linda . ”
Though Wynn’s tone was mild , Linda understood that she didn’t want her to stir up trouble – especially not in a public place .

Linda was clearly frustrated , but she held it in . Thinking that once Trevor finished his business , he would push for the divorce soon , and that no matter how Celeste tried to drag things out , it wouldn’t last much longer – they would eventually divorce . 2
That thought helped her feel a little better .
But then she remembered that Trevor had brought Jordyn along on his business trip and had even said he would take her on a few days ‘ vacation overseas . ( 3 )
Knowing he probably wouldn’t return for another day or two , her mood soured again .
She couldn’t help pouting to Wynn , “ Wynn , why don’t you ask Trev to come back earlier ? He can take that little troublemaker on vacation after the divorce – what’s the difference ? ”
Hearing this , Wynn remained calm and said , “ You don’t need to worry about that . Trevor knows how to handle things . ”
Meanwhile , after Celeste got in the car , Trevor finally replied . “ Got it . I’ll be back tomorrow . ” ( 4
