Chapter 99
As the staff headed toward the elevator , he bumped into Trevor and the gang in the hallway . Miles asked , “ This
meal … ”
The staff immediately responded , “ The missus ordered it . ”
Obviously , he was talking about Celeste .
Trevor and his gang didn’t put the staff in a difficult position . Instead , they let him go back to his work . After the staff said , Miles chuckled and said , “ It looks like we won’t have to invite Celeste to lunch . ”
Trevor responded nonchalantly , “ We should ask her to join us . ”
Wynn was immediately dumbfounded when she heard what he said . She pursed her lips and looked at him . Beck and Miles were taken aback as well .
Miles chuckled . “ I guess you’re right . Mrs. Fleming Senior explicitly told you to look after Celeste . There will be hell to pay if she finds out we excluded Celeste from our lunch . ”
After all , the hot spring retreat belonged to the Fleming family . Martha probably had arranged for her own men to be here , monitoring everything . Anything Trevor and the gang did would be made known to her .
Wynn regained her composure when she heard Miles ‘ explanation . She had assumed that Trevor actually developed feelings for Celeste after Martha’s efforts . Judging by what Miles said , it would seem that she was simply overthinking .
Beck also turned his gaze away once he heard what Miles said .
At that moment , Jordyn was back . Trevor rubbed her head and said , “ Go upstairs and ask your mom to come down for lunch . ”
Jordyn was also taken aback by what he said . She asked hesitantly , “ Is Mom going to join us for lunch ? ”
“ Yeah . ”
Jordyn’s jaw dropped . She frowned and looked at Wynn . She didn’t want her mom to join them for lunch . Celeşte would surely pick on Wynn if she was there , and she would make everyone unhappy .
Wynn grinned and said warmly , “ Run along now . ”
Jordyn hesitated for a moment before she went upstairs .
When Jordyn rang the doorbell , Celeste was already eating her food . She looked at the footage through the television and put her meal away once she saw that it was Jordyn . She got up and opened the door . “ Need anything , Jo ? ”
Jordyn bit her lips before she raised her head and looked at Celeste . “ Hi , Mom . Dad sent me here . He wants you to come downstairs and have lunch with us . ”
Celeste turned down the offer . “ I’m already having my lunch in here . Go ahead and enjoy yours without me . ”
Jordyn let out a sigh of relief and responded , “ Okay . T – That’s what I’m going to tell Dad , alright ? ”
Celeste knew Jordyn didn’t want her to have lunch with them . She noticed the look on the little girl’s face and said nonchalantly , “ Sure . Bye . ”
Jordyn giggled and said , “ Bye ! ”
She turned around and left as she spoke . However , she had merely taken two steps before she felt a little guilty . ”

Are you sure you’ll be fine by yourself , Mom ? H – How about I stay back and keep you company ? ”
There were a lot of people down there , and it was very merry and lively . It would be bad if she left Celeste here all by herself .
However , Jordyn sounded a little reluctant when she made the offer . Clearly , she preferred to have lunch with Trevor , Wynn , and the others .
Celeste didn’t want to make Jordyn stay . After all , she didn’t need such a reluctant company . She bent down and said warmly , “ It’s okay . I love being alone . Go ahead and join them , Jo . ”
Jordyn immediately felt easier when she heard what Celeste said . She nodded . “ Alright . I’m leaving now . ”
Celeste said , “ Go . ”
At the next moment , Jordyn sprinted out of there .
Celeste watched Jordyn’s retreating figure before she closed the door and continued having lunch alone .
