Chapter 697

When Matthias caught him being attentive toward Celeste, Kieran didn’t look the slightest bit embarrassed. Instead, he openly greeted Matthias before turning and heading back to work.

Matthias closed the office door behind him, sat down on the couch, and said, “Since he found out that you tend to drink a few cups of coffee to stay alert when busy, he had spent quite some time learning about it. Apparently, he just ‘graduated’.”

Celeste froze for a moment.

Seeing her reaction, Matthias smiled. “Are you touched?”

“Not really.” She was reminded of something from the past.

As the thought crossed her mind, she unconsciously picked up the coffee beside her and took a sip.

When Kieran had brought it in earlier, she could already tell from the rich aroma that it wouldn’t be bad. But once it touched her lips, she realized it was even more impressive than she’d expected.

She understood coffee. With just one sip, she could feel the effort Kieran had put into it. That kind of effort was probably no less than what she did before…..

Unaware of what she was thinking, Matthias asked, “So? How are you now? Feeling better?”

He hadn’t forgotten that day when she had asked him out for a drink, but was taken away by someone Zachary sent.

Celeste set the coffee cup down and came back to her senses. “I’m fine now.”

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be pretending, Matthias finally asked, “What happened?”

Celeste briefly explained the situation.

Matthias already knew that Trevor had brought Wynn to meet Lincoln and Queenie.

After hearing about the injustice and concern Celeste and her family felt, he paused before saying, “Sometimes, the world really is unfair. But your grandmother isn’t wrong either. Dragging the divorce with Trevor may not be good for you.

“As for the Lockets and Shaws, I believe they’ll get what they deserve eventually, even though it may be slow.”

Celeste just hummed a response. For now, that was the only way they could think about things.

So now, she would just wait for the divorce from Trevor. As for everything else, she’d deal with it later.

…

It was Friday.

In the afternoon, Jordyn called Celeste just after school, asking to go out for dinner together.

Celeste wasn’t particularly busy that day, so she agreed.

Just then, Jordyn sighed. “Actually, I really wanted you, me, and Dad to go out together. We haven’t done that in a long time But when I asked Dad just now, he said he had something on and couldn’t make it.”

It had indeed been a while. But Celeste didn’t respond.

Jordyn didn’t seem too upset. She quickly brightened up again. “It’s okay, though. Dad should have time tomorrow!”

“Mm,” Celeste replied.

After wrapping up her work, she contacted Jordyn’s driver, and the two of them went out for dinner.

Jordyn wanted to try a lot of things, but since it was just the two of them, they couldn’t order much. So, quite a few of her favorite dishes didn’t make it to the table. fo FindNovel.net

She couldn’t help saying, “If Dad were here, it’d be perfect…..”

Celeste didn’t respond.

After dinner, as they were about to leave the restaurant, Matthias sent her a message. So Celeste opened it.

It was a photo. In it, Trevor, Martha

and the members of the Lockets and Shaws were all seated together in a private dining room.
