Chapter 96

Author: Cloudsearcher
Celeste started packing up for the hot spring retreat after breakfast, including clothes and other personal items. She only packed for herself, though. She didn't do it for Trevor.

After all, they were a married couple only in name. Trevor wasn't Celeste's husband in the real sense anymore. He was Wynn's lover now, and he probably wouldn't like it if she touched his stuff.

Needless to say, Celeste didn't want to touch Trevor's personal belongings either.

Meanwhile, Jordyn helped Hannah with the packing. In the past, Celeste probably would've been worried about Jordyn forgetting her stuff. Hannah might've packed it for Jordyn, but she still would've gone through Jordyn's luggage once more.

Now, however, Celeste went downstairs with her luggage once she was done packing her own stuff. She wasn't worried about Jordyn at all.

After Celeste waited on the ground floor for a while, Jordyn and Trevor also came downstairs.

Once they all arrived at the hot spring retreat, Trevor went t

    Celeste felt uneasy when she looked at herself in the mirror, but she didn't hate the red and suggestive bottoms. So, she put it on. Celeste was still wearing the bathrobe. She stopped in her tracks when she noticed Trevor's gaze and remembered the bikini set she was wearing. A moment later, however, Celeste walked over as if nothing happened. She approached the edge of the hot spring and put down the stuff on her hands. Then, she took off her bathrobe. Just like that, she revealed her suggestive clothing to Trevor. Trevor was stunned when he saw it. Celeste believed that he knew Martha had given her this. Trevor might misinterpret her choice to wear it as an invitation to have an intimate moment, but the truth was that she didn't intend that at all. Trevor was free to think whatever he wanted. Celeste had no reason not to put on the bikini set, which she quite liked, just because he might misunderstand her. This thought strengthened Celeste's resolve not to feel uneasy whe

    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'

    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 gan

    Jordyn ran downstairs and told Trevor, "Dad, Mom's already having lunch in the room. So, she's not coming down here."Miles raised an eyebrow when he heard it. It turned out Celeste knew her place. Beck lowered his gaze and fell silent. Meanwhile, Wynn smiled subtly. She knew that Celeste wouldn't dare to join them for lunch. After all, no one really wanted her here. Celeste could try coming down and joining them, but all she would get was mockery and exclusion. Instead of putting herself through this, it was natural for her to hole up in her room and be the weasel that she saw. Trevor heard what Jordyn said and responded, "Alright. Got it."He wasn't that insistent about Celeste joining them as well. "Let's not wait anymore. Dig in, everyone."Wynn heard what he said, and her smile deepened. Then, she gracefully sat next to Trevor. Meanwhile, Celeste continued to work after she had finished her lunch. By now, Matthias had reached home, and she had thought of more new ideas.

"Oh, Mrs. Fleming… Why have you come here?""Where are Trevor and Jo?" Celeste asked. "Mr. Fleming hasn't returned yet, and Ms. Fleming is in her room, playing," Hannah replied.Celeste handed her luggage to Hannah. When she went upstairs, she found Jordyn wearing a pair of pajamas and sitting at her table, fiddling with something. She was so focused that she didn't even notice anyone entering the room."Jo?" Celeste called out.Jordyn turned her head when she heard her. In a happy tone, she greeted, "Mom!"Then, she turned back

    At around 9:00 pm, Trevor and Jordyn returned home.Jordyn clung to the hem of Trevor's coat and got out of the car sluggishly. Because Celeste was at home, she was reluctant to return that night.But Wynn had said that Celeste came specifically to be with her and Trevor, and if they didn't return, she would be sad. Trevor also said that if they didn't go home that night, Celeste would definitely insist on joining them on their outing to the sea the next day.Reluctantly, Jordyn agreed to come home.Still worried, she muttered gloomily, "Dad, what if Mom insists on tagging along with us tomorrow?""She won't," Trevor replied confidently.In all the years they'd been married, Celeste had always tried to find ways to spend more time with him. But she was also sensible. As long as he made his stance clear, she wouldn't dare make him upset.In Jordyn's memory, Celeste always listened to Trevor. Since he said she wouldn't, she felt reassured. As a result, her mood lifted. She made he

So, he had been cold to her and rarely went home after their marriage.To get closer to and win over Trevor, Celeste had chosen to work at Fleming Group.Her initial goal was to become his personal secretary, but Trevor refused vehemently. Even when Arnold stepped in, he couldn't get Trevor to agree. In the end, Celeste had to settle for a position in the secretarial team, becoming one of Trevor's many ordinary secretaries.At first, Zeke had worried that Celeste's presence in the secretarial team would create chaos. But to his surprise, she didn't bring them any trouble. Although Celeste used her position to get closer to Trevor, she was mindful of her timing and never overstepped her boundaries. On the con

    Jordyn jumped out of bed in excitement. "Really?""Yes, really," Trevor replied."Then why didn't Wynn tell me just now?""It was just finalized. She doesn't know yet."Jordyn was ecstatic. "Dad, let's keep this a secret from Wynn. We'll surprise her when we go back to the country, okay?""Alright.""You're the best, Dad! I love you so much!"After hanging up, Jordyn was still overjoyed. She sang and danced on her bed.After a while, she suddenly thought of Celeste. For the past few days, she had been in a great mood because Celeste hadn't called her. In fact, to avoid talking to Celeste, she had deliberately left home early and even turned off her phone or kept it far away from her after school.But after two days, she was worried that Celeste might get angry if she found out. So, she stopped doing that. To her surprise, Celeste hadn't called at all in the days that followed.At first, she thought Celeste had discovered that she was deliberately avoiding her calls.

    Celeste also had the same thought. What was more, she believed that this was Trevor's way of making it up to Wynn after he stopped Wynn's uncle from moving into the villa across from Ivan. After all, Trevor loved Wynn. There was no way he would make her feel sorry for herself just because it inconvenienced Celeste. Matthias said, "If Wynn had been concealing her capabilities all this while, then…"He trailed off in silence and didn't finish his sentence. He and Celeste were Zachary's mentees—that much was true. Zachary might've treated them coldly, but he was actually quite close to them—that was true as well. After all, Zachary was tenderhearted despite his icy and distant character. His strict expectations of them didn't change the fact that he cared about them. With that said, Zachary was a man of strong principles as well. If Wynn really showed enough talents and capabilities, he would never refuse to take her in as his apprentice just because of the bad blood she had wi

    Celeste tucked her phone away and went downstairs. She told Martha that Trevor had dinner plans outside. That night, Trevor didn't return home. The next day, Martha was enraged when she learned about it. "I can't believe him. I know he's very busy with work, but how could he not come home at all?"Celeste merely wordlessly grinned when she heard what Martha said. Trevor might've been busy, but he could've come home if that was what he wanted to do. After all, he needed to sleep. Celeste recalled hearing Wynn's voice over the phone last night. Trevor must've gone somewhere better. That was most likely why he didn't come home. Meanwhile, YodaVision Co. had its major projects outlined for the next two years. Celeste had done it in the past two days, but Matthias believed they should compile their ideas. Thus, he sent some documents to Zachary so that the latter could provide him with some insights.Zachary was very busy most of the time. On top of that, his whereabouts were quit

    Although it was an old villa neighborhood, the environment was wonderful. On top of that, with the insane real estate prices in the downtown area, the villa was worth at least two to three billion dollars.Celeste didn't have that kind of money now. Trevor had just returned home not long ago and was loosening his tie. He probably found what she said amusing because he raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, "Do you intend to pay me for the villa?""Yeah. I…""Save it." Trevor put his tie on the dresser. "I can afford to give you that kind of money."Then, he also put his watch down before walking into the bathroom. Celeste watched his retreating figure. She was stunned momentarily before deciding she wouldn't insist on paying him. Ever since they got married, she was concerned about being a bother to him. That was why she had never asked him for anything. Now that Celeste thought about it, this particular villa was the only thing Trevor had taken the initiative of giving he

    Martha was still awake when Trevor and Celeste arrived home. Once she was sure that the couple came back in the same car, she finally felt assured and went back to her room. After Celeste got upstairs, she called Ivan and gave him the update. When she was done with the phone call, Matthias' call came in. Half an hour later, Celeste ended the call and returned to her room. Trevor was already done taking a bath and was leaning against the headboard with a book in his hand. Trevor turned his gaze from his book when he noticed her. After a brief moment, he turned his focus back to his book. Celeste also turned her gaze away. She took a bath and applied the conditioner. It was very late by the time she was done with all this. Then, she glanced at Trevor again. In the past, Celeste might've gotten used to it when Trevor treated her coldly. She wouldn't feel uneasy when she spent some private moments with him. Now that Travor helped Celeste out, it brought them slightly closer. Th
