Chapter : 622
The three of them spent nearly two hours over the meal.
Afterward, Quincy wanted to introduce Celeste to several other people in charge of related projects, so they changed venues.
After arriving at the new location, Trevor still sat beside her.
Perhaps because both Trevor and Quincy treated her with great courtesy, or perhaps because her capabilities were already well recognized in the industry, the other project leads were also very polite to her.
The conversations were all very pleasant.
As dusk approached, Trevor’s phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, he glanced at Celeste before answering. “Jo, what’s wrong?”
Celeste hadn’t paid attention to who he was talking to at first. When she realized it was Jordyn calling, the movement of her hand holding the teacup paused slightly.
At that moment, Jordyn was in Trevor’s room.
She had rummaged through the room so thoroughly that it was a complete mess.
Holding her phone, eyes red, she asked, “Where are your and Mom’s marriage certificates? I’ve searched both your room and Mom’s room and couldn’t find them. You-you didn’t secretly get divorced behind my back, did you?”
Trevor’s gaze darkened slightly. He didn’t ask why she suddenly brought this up.
Instead, he spoke unhurriedly, “No. The certificates are with your mom. If you want to know where they are, why don’t you call and ask her?”
When Jordyn couldn’t find their marriage certificates earlier, she truly thought they had divorced behind her back, and her eyes had instantly reddened.
Hearing Trevor say this, she finally felt relieved. She wiped her tears and asked, “Really?”
Trevor smiled. “Why would I lie to you? You’ll know once you ask your mom.”
Jordyn snorted softly, said nothing more, and hung up.
After hanging up, Trevor glanced in Celeste’s direction.
Celeste didn’t know exactly what Jordyn had said to him, but from his words, she could roughly guess.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Celeste calmly stood up and said to the others, “Sorry, I need to step out to take a call.”
Aside from Quincy, the others knew that Trevor was married and had a daughter.
As for Celeste, they all believed she was dating Matthias and was unmarried, so no one thought that the incoming call had anything to do with Trevor.
Only after stepping into the hallway did Celeste answer the call.
The moment she picked up, Jordyn asked anxiously, “Mom, Dad said your marriage certificate is with you. Is that true? Where did you put it? At Granny’s place?”
Celeste replied, “Yes.”
After speaking, she paused for half a second and asked, “Why are you suddenly concerned about this? Did something happen?”
At the mention of this, Jordyn pouted.
“Today at school, when I said you haven’t lived at home for a long time and that you’ve basically been staying at Granny’s place because of work, my classmates were all very sure that you and Dad had already divorced. They said that’s why you don’t come home anymore…”
She didn’t believe them. Later, they said that if they wanted to know whether her parents were divorced or not, they could just see whether the marriage certificate was still there.
So-
Celeste understood.
She lowered her eyes and fell silent.
But Jordyn didn’t notice. Knowing that her parents weren’t divorced, she was already happy again and immediately asked, “Mom, are you off work yet?
marriage certificate in your room at Granny’s place? I’ll go get it right
