Chapter 76
Trevor’s words were definitely not meant for Celeste .
For all these years they were married , Trevor had never once lugged her in his sleep , let alone given her a morning kiss .
Thus , Celeste was certain that Trevor had mistaken her for Wynn .
She pursed her lips , and her eyes gradually filled with tears .
Trevor was still asleep .
Staring at Trevor , Celeste swallowed the bitterness welling up inside her . She took a deep breath and slowly pulled away from Trevor . She was trying to escape his embrace .
With how tightly they were pressed together , her slightest movement was bound to disrupt his sleep .
eyes .
Then , it was just as expected as she removed Trevor’s hand from her waist and sat up , Trevor opened his ey She was about to pull her legs back.
Their eyes met at that e
exact moment .
Trevor woke up completely . Once he grasped the circumstances and realized he had hugged the wrong person , he paused for a brief moment and shifted so his legs were not entwined with hers anymore .
Celeste retracted her legs as well . She turned her back to him , moved to the side of the bed , and slipped into her slippers before heading for the bathroom .
After she had washed up , she came out of the bathroom , only to see no one in the room .
Celeste walked out of the room and saw Trevor at the end of the corridor . He was talking to someone over the phone in his pajamas .
She glanced at him briefly and looked away , then went downstairs .
Martha was already awake .
Moments later , Jordyn came downstairs as well .
Grinning , Martha said , “ Let’s have our breakfast now that everyone’s awake . ”
“ Okay ! ” responded Jordyn .
Just then , Trevor came and settled down next to Celeste .
Celeste thought of what had happened earlier . She moved to the side , pulling away just a little to increase the gap
between them .
Jordyn looked at Trevor as she munched on her breakfast . As if she had suddenly thought of something , she asked , “ Dad , do you like hugging Mom in your sleep too ? ” Her pretty eyes were filled with doubt .
Celeste was drinking a cup of tea . Upon hearing what Jordyn had said , she choked on her tea .
Trevor remained silent .
Celeste’s face flushed red from the coughing , and she felt even more uncomfortable . Her expression went stiff . However , Martha was very delighted . “ Oh ? Why would you say so , Jo ? ”

“ I went to look for Mom when I woke up just now , and I saw Dad hugging Mom … ”
Martha put on a bigger grin . She had an epiphany , letting out a drawn – out “ oh ” as she eyed Celeste and Trevor teasingly .
Trevor remained silent still .
Celeste became more awkward for she knew the person Treyor wanted to hug wasn’t her at all .
Just then , her phone rang .
It was a call from Betty .
Celeste answered the call . “ Hello , Granny .”
Betty told Celeste that Adeline had just come back and brought her souvenirs . She also asked if she could join them for a meal .
Celeste looked at Martha as she spoke , “ I’m with Jo at the Fleming , Manor now . ”
Initially , Martha hoped they would join her at the estate to pick some fruits .
Martha and Betty were good friends . When Martha learned the reason behind Betty’s call , she remarked , “ You can take jo back with you . ”
Then , she turned to Trevor . “ It’s been a while since you visited Betty as well , Trevor . Since you have some free time now , accompany Cel back for a visit . ”
Trevor took a bite of his breakfast and uttered , “ There’s something I have to take care of later . ”
Celeste wasn’t surprised at all when he said that .
She had guessed it already ,
Trevor would never have the time to accompany her .
But when it came to Wynn , he’d make time for her no matter how busy he was ,
This was the difference between Celeste and Wynn .
Martha frowned . “ What’s so urgent ? You haven’t gone back with Cel for ages ! ”
