Chapter 851

That evening, Jordyn ate a few skewers of meat, played with her building blocks for a while, and spent some time looking at the stars before heading back to rest at the hotel.

The next day, aside from discussing work with Matthias and some of the company employees, Celeste spent most of her time with Jordyn.

Matthias and Kieran both made a few more attempts to get closer to Jordyn.

Every time, Jordyn would politely greet them and thank them, but somehow, the distance between them never seemed to close.

At first, they assumed she was simply shy around strangers. But it didn’t take long for them to realise that Jordyn was deliberately keeping them at arm’s length.

She simply didn’t want to “be friends” with them.

Although Matthias felt deeply sorry for Celeste over what had happened in the past, he had never completely blamed Jordyn for liking Wynn, as she was just a child. Furthermore, Jordyn was Celeste’s daughter. How could he not genuinely care for

her?

But seeing Jordyn’s attitude now still left Matthias feeling a little uncomfortable.

He couldn’t help saying, “She looks polite enough, but she’s actually refusing to let us get close to her. Could she be holding a grudge against me for what I said about Trevor and Wynn at Professor Lancaster’s banquet?”

Celeste shook her head. “I don’t know.”

She had naturally noticed that Jordyn didn’t want to get close to Matthias and the others.

And it wasn’t just Matthias. Compared with before, Jordyn was distant even with Celeste.

Her personality really had changed.

Celeste didn’t know why, but Jordyn hadn’t voluntarily told her anything—not even

once.

Matthias actually didn’t care how Jordyn treated him. He was simply worried about Celeste. He didn’t expect that even after learning so much at Philip’s banquet, Jordyn would still side more with Trevor and Wynn.

However, there wasn’t much Matthias could do about it. He merely patted Celeste on the shoulder before turning his attention back to work.

…

On Sunday afternoon, the team-building trip came to an end, and Celeste, Matthias,

and the other employees went their separate ways.

Although they had called it a team-building trip, Celeste and Matthias had actually been quite

busy these past two days. Shene

hadn’t had many chances to talk with Jordyn, and Hannah had been the one looking after her most of the time.

Still, Celeste knew that Trevor seemed to have been trying to contact Jordyn throughout those two days. But Jordyn simply refused to answer his calls.

Celeste didn’t ask a single question about it. Even so, she could tell that Jordyn was still happy whenever she saw Trevor’s name appear on her phone.

Now that the trip was over, Celeste said, “Once we get back to the city, let’s have dinner together. Then I will take you home, okay?”

Jordyn nodded. “Okay.”

After returning to the city and having dinner, Celeste drove Jordyn home.

When they arrived at the villa, Celeste remained seated in the car. Jordyn, however,

got out on her own and waved to her through the window. “Bye, Mom.”

From what Hannah had told her over the past two days, it seemed that Trevor still hadn’t returned from his business trip and wouldn’t be back. anytime soon content

If this had happened before, with Trevor away for so many days and Celeste actually showing up at the house Jordyn would definitely have pestered her to stay the night or go back to the Rodriguez residence with her. sŵnovels

But over these past two days, Jordyn hadn’t mentioned it even once.

Hannah, on the other hand, couldn’t help asking when she saw Celeste was leaving. “Mrs. Fleming, aren’t you staying the night?”

Celeste shook her head. “No. I still have some things to take care of.”

Then she looked at Jordyn. “Jo, I’m leaving now. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay. Bye, Mom.”
