Chapter : 569

Celeste was speechless. What exactly was there for them to talk about? Was he genuinely clueless, or just pretending? Just then, Jordyn happened to pull Celeste into a conversation, so Celeste simply ignored Trevor and continued focusing only on Jordyn. Trevor didn’t force any more conversation either, but once the dishes started arriving, he took the initiative to place food into Celeste’s plate. Celeste paused.

After realizing what he was doing, she said lightly, “I can do it myself.” Since Trevor was also helping Jordyn with food, Jordyn didn’t understand why her mom wouldn’t let him help her. She said, ” Mom, just let Dad pick the food for you.” Celeste became quiet. Trevor laughed and placed another piece of meat onto her plate. The server happened to enter just then with more dishes. The private room door was still open, and Lilian, Patricia, together with Ruby and Linda, happened to pass by at that exact —- moment.

They saw and heard the exchange clearly-Trevor was picking food for Celeste voluntarily. All of them froze for a moment. But Celeste, Trevor, and Jordyn didn’t notice them at all. The server did notice them, though. But before the server could say anything, Lilian snapped back to her senses and supported Patricia as they kept walking. Linda pursed her lips and followed along with Ruby. Once they entered their own private room, Ruby couldn’t help speaking, “Didn’t people say Trevor really hated Celeste? But from the last time we ran into them, and just now too…

he seems to be treating her pretty well. That’s-” Linda immediately understood what her mother meant. She snorted dismissively. “Do we even need to spell it out? Trev is obviously putting on an act in front of that brat! Mom, you don’t actually think he’s developed feelings for that bitch, right? How is that even possible!” Last time they ran into Trevor, Celeste, and Jordyn together, Ruby had thought the same way as Linda. Even now, that was still her instinctive assumption. —- But- Both last time and this time, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Trevor was being too proactive.

And she couldn’t help thinking… He didn’t look like he was acting. It looked more like he was genuinely willing to treat Celeste well, not just putting on a show. Thinking of this, she remembered something and said, “Didn’t Wynn say before that Trevor wouldn’t even have a good expression even in front of the child? “Meaning, even for the kid’s sake, he couldn’t be bothered to pretend. But these two encounters… Don’t look like that at all.” Linda still dismissed it. “Back then, that brat was still young and clueless.

Now she’s older, and with the Internet, kids know all about divorce and stuff. 1 “She’s not that easy to fool anymore. So, of course, Trev would adjust his attitude a bit to fool her. Isn’t that normal?” Sometimes Linda was impulsive, but this time what she said did make sense. 2 Ruby laughed. “That’s true.” When Lilian and Patricia first saw Trevor taking the initiative to —- treat Celeste well, they had felt a moment of panic. But honestly, even before Linda spelled it out, they had already figured it out. So, they quickly calmed down, called the server in, and started ordering.

When they went home that day, they told Wynn everything- running into Trevor, Celeste, and Jordyn, and especially the part about Trevor actively treating Celeste well. The Shaw family assumed Wynn didn’t care. Linda couldn’t help complaining, “If you ask me, Trev just cares too much about that brat. If it weren’t for her, why would he have to endure the disgust of acting affectionate with Celeste?” 3 Ruby agreed. “Exactly.” Wynn listened, lowered her eyes, and said nothing. 4
