Chapter 74
20 minutes later , Trevor came back with Jordyn .
Martha’s gaze went past Trevor and fixated on Jordyn . Grinning , she waved at Jordyn . “ You’re back , Jo ! ”
“ Hi , Nana . ” Jordyn ran toward Martha . After Martha had hugged and ruffled her hair , Jordyn finally walked over to Celeste . “ Hi , Mom ”
Celeste hummed a reply . When she was hugging Jordyn , she noticed the faint scent of Wynn’s perfume on Jordyn’s clothes .
She didn’t mention anything about it . Instead , she only lightly pushed Jordyn away .
Trevor sat beside Martha and placed a box before her . “ This is a token of apology . ”
It was a pack of Coffea Arábica that Martha liked a lot . Besides , it was rare on the market , and hard to get even for a high price .
Martha knew that Trevor was apologizing for not showing up at the hot spring retreat previously .
She let out a huff . “ You’ve got me covered , but what about Cel ? Did you get her anything as an apology ? ”
Trevor remained silent while glancing at Celeste .
It was just a quick look . It held no deeper emotions .
Martha meant to speak up for her , letting Trevor care about her more .
To Celeste , however , there was no need for that anymore .
She didn’t look at Trevor . “ Grandma , the food’s getting cold Let’s dig in , ” she said with a smile .
Martha thought Celeste changed the topic to defend Trevor
After all , when Martha reprimanded Trevor for neglecting Celeste back then , Celeste would always find a way to
justify Trevor’s actions .
Martha let out a sigh . “ You’re always on his side . ”
With a smile on her face , Celeste remained silent .
Trevor’s face was just as aloof . His expression didn’t budge despite Celeste speaking for him .
But the time was getting on , and they should really start eating .
Marth stood up and held Jordyn’s hand in hers . “ It’s been a while since you dined with me , Jo . Do you want to sit beside me later ? ”
Jordyn nodded obediently . “ Okay . ”
“ What a good girl . ” Martha gave Trevor a glance as she spoke , signaling to him .
Celeste knew that Martha was trying to set her up with Trevor again .
She didn’t bother to see Trevor’s reaction . She only followed Martha to the dining room .
As she sat down across from Martha and Jordyn , she caught glimpse of Trevor pulling out the chair beside her and sitting down
Finally , Martha grinned in satisfaction . When all the dishes were served , she spoke to Trevor . “ Pass Cel the dishes .

Celeste didn’t look at Trevor . “ It’s okay , Grandma . I can … ”
Before she could finish her sentence , Trevor placed the mashed potato that she liked before her .
Celeste paused for a moment . “ Thank you . ”
Trevor was silent .
Usually , when Martha asked Trevor to pass the dishes to Celeste , she meant for Trevor to take care of Celeste’s needs when they were eating
Thus , when Celeste reached out for a dish , Trevor would immediately pass her the dish she wanted . He remembered what she liked or disliked as well .
But that didn’t mean much to Celeste .
After all , this had happened several times over the years , Given Trevor’s memory , he would remember them even without effort .
After they finished their meal , Trevor chatted with Martha .
Celeste , too , was listening to their conversation on the side . She never initiated a conversation with Trevor , and she rarely made eye contact with him .
Martha sighed . She noticed the lack of communication between Celeste and Trevor despite being married for so long .
Martha got tired at around 9:00 pm . Hence , she waved and gestured for them to get some rest upstairs too .
