Celeste withdrew her gaze as Yandel and the others called her over to help answer some technical questions . Without giving Trevor another thought , she turned away and walked over to them .
Just as she turned , Miles noticed her .
At that moment , Wynn had walked over to Harvey , separating from Trevor .
Miles nudged Trevor in the side with his elbow and motioned in Celeste’s direction . “ Over there – your wife is here too . ”
Trevor followed his gesture and looked over . He spotted Celeste .
She was holding a tablet and standing slightly to the side while explaining the technical concepts of an exhibit to Yandel and the others .
Celeste and Yandel were deeply engaged in their discussion . They were completely unaware of Trevor’s gaze ..
Miles paused for a moment before commenting , “ Who are those people with your wife ? Is she explaining the core technology of the exhibit to them ? Is your wife actually this skilled ? ”
Trevor kept his gaze fixed on Celeste , neither looking away nor speaking .
At that moment , as if sensing something , Celeste glanced over .
Their eyes met across the distance .
Celeste hesitated briefly .
The distance was a little too far , making it difficult to discern the emotions in Trevor’s eyes . But she noticed that he seemed to … smile slightly .
Was he smiling at her ? She was probably overthinking it .
Feeling puzzled , Celeste withdrew her gaze .
Miles noticed too and asked , “ What are you smiling about ?
Trevor chuckled . “ Nothing . ”
Miles didn’t dwell on it . He raised an eyebrow when he saw how calm Celeste looked when she noticed them- especially when she saw Trevor .
She was as indifferent as if she were looking at a stranger .
He couldn’t tell whether she was still playing hard to get or if she was simply being tactful .
If it was the latter , then considering that Trevor was unwilling to publicly acknowledge their marriage , she had been keeping her distance from him at both the banquet and now at the expo .
She hadn’t left the slightest trace of their relationship for others to notice .
He had to admit – at least in this regard – Celeste was quite perceptive .
At that moment , Wynn walked over . “ What are you two talking about ? ”
Miles reacted quickly . He smiled . “ Nothing . ” Then he asked , “ Are you done ? ”
Before Wynn could answer , someone approached with Bryson and introduced her . “ Professor Leonard , this is the

algorithm genius I was telling you about . This is Ms. Locket ”
Bryson was the same expert whom Matthias had introduced to Celeste at the banquet .
That night , when Wynn had approached Matthias , Bryson had been present .
However , he had a rather unremarkable appearance , and Wynn had attended the banquet with a different purpose . She hadn’t been interested in networking with technology experts .
As a result , she didn’t pay attention to him at all .
Now , upon meeting him again , she naturally didn’t recognize him .
That night , Wynn and Matthias had seemed to have an unpleasant exchange , but Bryson had been engrossed in his conversation with Celeste and hadn’t paid much attention to it . Later , he hadn’t inquired about it either .
Seeing Wynn now , he didn’t bring up the past . Instead , he simply smiled and extended his hand . “ Hello , Ms. Locket . ”
“ Hello , ” Wynn responded politely .
The Locket family’s tech company was in urgent need of skilled talent . Knowing Bryson’s background , Wynn remained respectful . Even Harvey made a point to come over and greet him .
Afterward , Wynn and Bryson began chatting .
With so many exhibits around them , there was plenty to discuss , and their conversation lasted quite a while .
Harvey and Lennox , however , didn’t understand technology at all .
