Chapter 78
Betty was turning 70 next month .
Celeste was discussing with Ivan how they should celebrate Betty’s birthday .
Betty had no interest in their plan . “ No need for anything extravagant . Having a meal together as a family is enough . ”
Adeline added , “ It’s my 70th birthday . We should celebrate it in a big way .”
Celeste and Ivan thought the same too .
Since it came from the grandchildren’s kindness , Betty gave in to their suggestion .
Jordyn still had to go to school tomorrow . Thus , after having dinner together , Celeste left the Rodriguez residence with Jordyn .
After she arrived at the Fleming Manor , Jordyn got out of the car and ran into the house , beaming with joy .
Celeste stayed in the car as she said to Jordyn , “ Take a bath and rest early . I’ve got things to do , so I’ll get going
now . ”
Jordyn’s smile froze . “ Huh ? ”
She returned to the car and rested her face on it . Furrowing her brows , Jordyn asked , “ Are you busy , Mom ? ”
Celeste answered without changing her expression . “ Yep . Do well in class , and give me a call if something comes
Jordyn was a little upset . She pursed her lips and replied , “ Okay . ”
When work piled up , Trevor was often absent from home .
Hence , Jordyn assumed Celeste’s absence was work – related and didn’t dwell on it further .
When Peter noticed they came back , he went out to greet them .
Jordyn asked , “ Is Dad back yet ? ”
Peter answered with a smile , “ Yes , he’s back already . ”
Celeste’s face remained neutral . “ Jordyn , I’m leaving now . ”
“ Alright … ” Jordyn moved away .
Peter was slightly confused . “ Are you still going out this late at night , Mrs. Fleming
Celeste kept her reply short . “ Yes , I have some things to take care of . ”
As she finished speaking , she turned to Jordyn . “ It’s chilly out here . Go inside . ”
“ Okay ” Jordyn waved at Celeste and entered the house together with Peter .
After seeing Jordyn off , Celeste turned the car around and drove away .
Jordyn asked Peter after entering the house , “ Where’s Dad
“ He should be in the study .”
Jordyn then went upstairs , only to realize the door to the study was open . Trevor was leaning against the window .

He was smoking as he looked outside the witlow .
“ Dad , ” Jordyn called out for him .
“ Hi , lo . ” Trevor turned around to face her .
Jordyn continued , “ Mom has something to take care of . She just left . ”

Trevor put out the cigarette and tossed it into the ashtray . know , I saw her leave . ”
Jordyn scrunched up her little nose . “ Mom has been so busy recently just like you . ”
Trevor let out a chuckle . “ You’re right . ”
It was getting late , and Jordyn was tired as well . Yawning , she uttered , “ I’m going to take a bath and sleep . Good night , Dad . ”
“ Good night , have sweet dreams . ”
After Celeste arrived home , she washed up and went to bed immediately .
She arrived at the office promptly the next day .
In the afternoon , she and Yandel went to InnovaTech for some technical maintenance , along with some other technicians .
This time , she didn’t see Trevor or Wynn there .
On the following days , including Thursday when she went back to the villa to cook for Jordyn , she never saw Trevor around
She heard how Trevor wasn’t on a business trip . He just had some errands to run , so he wouldn’t be home for dinner .
Celeste didn’t bother asking about his “ errands “ -whether it was a date with Wynn or some other obligations . When she got off work on Friday , thinking about what to have for dinner , she received a call from Jordyn . “ Mom , Dad won’t be home on the weekend . When are you coming back home ? ”
