Chapter 98
At that moment , the door to another elevator slid open , and out came Miles . Celeste was surprised to see him . She didn’t expect him to be here at the hot spring retreat .
However , Martha and Trevor weren’t surprised at all . Obviously , they knew about Miles ‘ presence .
Miles saw Celeste and raised an eyebrow . Then , he swiftly turned to Martha and asked enthusiastically , “ Are you leaving already , Mrs. Fleming Senior ? Aren’t you going to have lunch before you go ? ”
The Fleming family and the Quinton family shared a close bond , so Martha had known Miles since he was a little boy . She flashed him a loving smile and said , “ I won’t be joining you guys . Go ahead and have fun . ”
All of them sent Martha to the entrance and saw her left . After her car drove into the distance , Jordyn merrily asked , “ What are you doing here , Mr. Quinton ? ”
Miles bent over and pinched Jordyn’s fair cheeks . “ Your dad asked me to be here . I came here immediately after I greeted your grandma . What do you think ? Aren’t I a good friend to you ? ”
“ Dad asked you here ? ”
“ Yeah . ” Miles smiled and said , “ I even informed Beck and Wynn to come here as soon as I knew your grandma was going away . They’re already on their way , and they should be here in a while . Does that make you happy ? ”
Miles deliberately cast a glance at Celeste as he spoke .
Celeste caught his gaze , and she was aware that he wanted her to hear this .
Naturally , Jordyn was happy about it . She was about to nod but became mindful of her mother’s presence . She hesitated a little and raised her head to look at Celeste .
Celeste acted as if she didn’t see it . Instead , she rubbed Jordyn’s head and said , “ Have fun with them . I’m going home . ”
At the next moment , Celeste turned around and left without gracing Trevor and Miles with a gaze .
Miles noticed how nonchalant Celeste’s expression was after she heard what he said . She didn’t exhibit any signs of unease or concern . It was as if she didn’t care about it at all .
Jordyn was still standing there , so Miles couldn’t speak plainly . He watched Celeste’s retreating figure and leaned in closer to Trevor . He whispered , “ What’s the matter ? ”
Trevor remained unfazed and asked , “ Did you come here alone ? ”
“Hell , no . This is the hot spring we’re talking about here . Lone – wolfing this would’ve been no fun . Of course , I brought my hot babe along … ‘

Trevor didn’t deny it . “ Here comes your hot babe . ”
At the next moment , a tall , pretty woman appraoched them Her bathrobe was opened , revealing the sexy bikini underneath .

“ I’m attending a masquerade ball now . What’s up ? ”
Celeste told Matthias about her idea .
