Chapter 514

Since it was rush hour, after Celeste placed the order for a car,

the app showed more than two hundred passengers ahead of

her in the queue.

On top of that, it was the first day of school—parents everywhere

were dropping their kids off, and traffic in the area was a mess.

Seeing this, Celeste stopped walking

Noticing she hadn’t followed, Trevor turned back. “What is it?”

*…Nothing,” she said.

In the end, Celeste still got into his car. 2

Once inside, he turned slightly, as if to speak with her, but before

he could, his phone rang.

“Sorry, I need to take this,” Trevor said. 2

“Go ahead,” she replied lightly. 1

It was an international call. He conducted the entire

conversation in a foreign language.

From what she caught, he was supposed to travel to Andostan

soon. But he told the other party he had urgent business in the

next couple of days, so he would be arriving later than planned. 7

The call went on for quite a while.

It wasn’t until the car was nearly at YodaVision that he finally

Just as he was about to speak, Celeste cut in, “Just stop up

ahead. I’ll walk the rest of the way.” =

He understood immediately. Turning his head, he glanced at her

but said nothing, then instructed the driver to pull over as she

The car stopped about two to three hundred yards from

YodaVision.

As she got out, she paused, offering a polite, “Thank you.”

Trevor gave a faint smile. “No need.”

Celeste caught that smile, but didn’t respond. She simply turned

and walked away. 2

Meanwhile, not long after Trevor and Celeste left the school,

Jordyn’s phone watch rang.

It was Wynn calling.

Jordyn was in a bright mood and answered sweetly, “Hi, Wynn!”

“Yes, it’s me,” Wynn replied, her tone warm. “Jo, have you arrived

at school?” 5

“Yes, I’ve arrived.”

Hearing her cheerful voice, Wynn couldn’t help smiling. “Starting

school makes you this happy, huh?” +

After a short pause, she finally revealed the real reason for her

call. “By the way, Jo, did your dad send you to school today?” °

“He did.”

“Is that so?” Wynn’s smile faltered. “I thought if your mom was

going, then your dad wouldn’t need to.”

“I didn’t even expect Dad to send me, but last night after dinner,

when I was about to pack up and head to Granny’s, Dad

suddenly said he wanted to send me personally on the first day

of school. 2

“So, he asked me to stay home, and this morning he came with

me to pick up Mom before going to school together.” 5

“I see… So, that means your mom rode with your dad this

morning?” 3

“Yeah.”

Wynn’s smile faded further. She didn’t say anything else right

The truth was, when she’d first heard that Jordyn wanted Celeste

to send her on the first day, Wynn had purposely held back.

She wanted to see if Trevor would use the chance to get closer

to Celeste. And sure enough, he did. =

So now… Did Trevor still have feelings for Celeste? ©

The thought made Wynn clench her hands, her chest tightening. 3

She spoke a little longer with Jordyn before finding an excuse to

end the call.

The moment she hung up, the smile on her face vanished

completely.
