What was more , it wasn’t just any kind of drug
But Trevor understood its effects and had seen through it . It seemed he hadn’t drunk the soup at all last night . Celeste hadn’t expected Martha to go this far .
She frowned , but Martha let out a dissatisfied sigh before she could speak . “ Sometimes , it’s not a good thing for a grandson to be too smart . Sigh , I was hoping for another grandchild . Cel , if you have time , put in more effort with Trevor , alright ? ”
Celeste was speechless . She didn’t know what to say .
Even though Trevor had agreed to help her yesterday , she knew there was no future for them .
It would have been a disaster if something had happened between them last night . As for having another child , that was impossible .
Just as these thoughts crossed her mind , Jordyn came downstairs .
When she saw her , Celeste’s expression cooled slightly as she was reminded of Jordyn’s admiration and affection for Wynn .
During breakfast , Trevor once again naturally took the seat beside Celeste .
Still , neither of them initiated any conversation .
Yesterday , Celeste had taken Jordyn to school . Today , Jordyn asked Trevor to take her .
Trevor responded , “ Alright . ”
Martha glanced at Celeste and suggested , “ Trevor , why don’t you take Cel along too ? You both work at the same-
Celeste interrupted her , “ No need , Grandma . He has a lot of business engagements and isn’t always at the company . It’s inconvenient for me since I don’t have a car .
Martha , however , wasn’t having it . “ So what if he has engagements ? If you get off work and don’t have a ride home , just call the driver ahead of time to pick you up . ”
Before Celeste could argue , Martha made the final decision . “ It’s settled . ”
Celeste was speechless at this . She turned to Trevor , but he didn’tsay a word , which meant he had agreed .
After breakfast , Celeste had no choice but to ride with Trevor and Jordyn .
Jordyn was already familiar with getting into the car , and because both her parents were taking her today , she was in an especially good mood .
Conversely , Celeste couldn’t even remember the last time she had ridden in Trevor’s car .
Jordyn got in first , and just as Celeste was about to follow , Trevor suddenly spoke . “ Sit on the other side . ”
Celeste paused mid – step , feeling momentarily awkward , but she walked around the car and got in from the other side as the driver opened the door for her .
Now , Jordyn sat between her and Trevor .
Trevor seemed busy , responding to messages on his phone

Celeste kept her gaze forward , but Jordyn leaned into Trevor’s arms , peeking over his phone screen . “ Oh , it’s Wynn . ”
Still looking at his phone , Trevor gave a neutral – sounding bum in response .
Perhaps remembering that Celeste was present , Jordyn stale a couple of quick glances at her , then turned back to Trevor’s screen , refraining from mentioning anything about their conversation .
After a while , Jordyn got bored and climbed out of Trevor’s lap , opening the car’s storage compartment . Celeste hadn’t intended to look , but her peripheral vision happened to catch the contents inside .
There was a tube of lipstick , a small women’s handbag , and a tiny backpack that Jordyn had used before She didn’t even need to think twice . The lipstick and handbag belonged to Wynn .
At that moment , she finally understood why Trevor hadn’t let her sit on that seat when she got into the car . It was because that seat belonged to Wynn , and he wouldn’let Celeste take her place .
