"Shanice."Beck walked over to Celeste and took the little girl from her. Just then, Beck noticed how Shanice was completely soaked. He paused for a moment. Staring at Celeste, he asked, "How did she…"Celeste didn't know that this little girl was actually his niece as well. She explained, "She fell into the pool, and I pulled her out.""Thank you," Beck responded. "You're welcome," said Celeste. "Please help her change into dry clothes, in case she catches a cold."Beck nodded in agreement. He looked at Celeste and wanted to say something, but his niece's cries interrupted him. Shanice kept sobbing as if she was scared out of her wits. Thus, Beck comforted her and walked into the elevator after giving Celeste a quick nod. Celeste went back to the pool afterward. After soaking in the hot spring, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and went to the buffet area. Before she could finish her meal, Beck appeared in front of her. He was holding Shanice's hand. "Mind if

However, when Matthias saw how Celeste greeted the man, he felt that they seemed to know each other. "He's Beck Harper.""Beck?" Matthias was surprised. "Aren't you two not that close? How did you both end up at the same table?""His niece fell into the pool just now and I saved her, and he brought his niece over to thank me."Matthias nodded. "I see."Celeste told Beck that she was with her colleagues. Thus, Beck assumed the person who had greeted her earlier was just one of her colleagues, so he didn't turn around to check. After Celeste and Matthias walked a little further away, Beck turned around, only to see a tall young man walking beside Celeste. From the way he looked from behind, he seemed like a good match for Celeste. Beck could tell that they had a good relationship as they were walking closely to each other. "Uncle Beck…"Upon hearing Shanice's voice, Beck came back to his senses. "Are you done eating? Let's head back to our room then.""Okay," Shanice repl

Feeling embarrassed, Celeste's face flushed immediately. She adjusted the collar that Shanice had tugged. Beck's expression darkened in that instant. After he snapped back to his senses, he turned around and shifted his gaze. The nanny, who had been standing aside, was mortified as well. Luckily, they were the only ones there; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward. The nanny quickly helped Celeste adjust her clothes. Celeste was reserved, and she had never revealed so much of her body to any man other than Trevor. What made it worse was that the man before her was Trevor's good friend. That made her especially uncomfortable. After adjusting her clothes, she uttered in an unnatural tone, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."Only then did Beck turn around and face Celeste. "I'm sorry."Shanice knew she had done something wrong and thought she had upset Celeste. She looked at Celeste with teary eyes and softly apologized, "Ms. Rodriguez, I'm sorry…"

20 minutes later, Trevor came back with Jordyn. Martha's gaze went past Trevor and fixated on Jordyn. Grinning, she waved at Jordyn. "You're back, Jo!""Hi, Nana." Jordyn ran toward Martha. After Martha had hugged and ruffled her hair, Jordyn finally walked over to Celeste. "Hi, Mom."Celeste hummed a reply. When she was hugging Jordyn, she noticed the faint scent of Wynn's perfume on Jordyn's clothes. She didn't mention anything about it. Instead, she only lightly pushed Jordyn away. Trevor sat beside Martha and placed a box before her. "This is a token of apology."It was a pack of Coffea Arábica that Martha liked a lot. Besides, it was rare on the market, and hard to get even for a high price. Martha knew that Trevor was apologizing for not showing up at the hot spring retreat previously. She let out a huff. "You've got me covered, but what about Cel? Did you get her anything as an apology?"Trevor remained silent while glancing at Celeste.It was just a quick look. I

Celeste bathed Jordyn and blow-dried her hair.Jordyn was quietly looking at Celeste, who was blow-drying her hair. She suddenly realized Celeste wasn't as talkative as before.Back then, Celeste would keep the conversation going with various topics. Celeste noticed how Jordyn was gazing at her. It looked as if Jordyn was lost in thought. Celeste asked, "What's wrong?"Jordyn shook her head. "Nothing."She must be overthinking. Or perhaps, Celeste wasn't in the mood to talk.After her hair was dried, Jordyn rolled on the bed. "Mom, are you staying with me for the night?"Celeste paused for a moment before answering, "Do you want me to stay with you, Jo?""I'm okay with it! But Mom, you haven't been with Dad much lately. Don't you want to sleep with Dad?""Right. I'll go back to my room later on."Celeste and Trevor still hadn't completed their divorce paperwork. If Jordyn didn't ask her to stay and she insisted on it, it would cause a huge fuss once Martha knew about it.

Trevor's words were definitely not meant for Celeste. For all these years they were married, Trevor had never once hugged her in his sleep, let alone given her a morning kiss.Thus, Celeste was certain that Trevor had mistaken her for Wynn. She pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.Trevor was still asleep.Staring at Trevor, Celeste swallowed the bitterness welling up inside her. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled away from Trevor. She was trying to escape his embrace. With how tightly they were pressed together, her slightest movement was bound to disrupt his sleep.Then, it was just as expected—as she removed Trevor's hand from her waist and sat up, Trevor opened his eyes. She was about to pull her legs back.Their eyes met at that exact moment.Trevor woke up completely. Once he grasped the circumstances and realized he had hugged the wrong person, he paused for a brief moment and shifted so his legs were not entwined with hers anymore.Celest

"Grandma," Celeste interrupted Martha. Then, she continued calmly, "It's okay. I'll go back with Jo if Trevor's busy.""But…"Celeste didn't want to force Trevor into anything because she no longer cared about it. However, Martha misunderstood Celeste. She thought Celeste said that because the latter didn't want to put Trevor in a tough spot. Seeing how considerate Celeste still was toward Trevor, Martha felt a pang of sympathy and frustration.And so it was decided.After they finished their breakfast, Celeste chatted with Martha for a while and got ready to leave. Martha prepared a bunch of gifts for her good friend, Betty, and asked Celeste to deliver them to her.Celeste couldn't refuse them, and she ended up bringing them all. Trevor hadn't gone out yet, so he and Martha went to send Celeste and Jordyn off. Jordyn went up to Trevor and hugged his leg. "Will you come home tonight, Dad?"Trevor gently ruffled her hair. "Yes, I will."There was zero communication bet

Chapter 78

Betty was turning 70 next month. Celeste was discussing with Ivan how they should celebrate Betty's birthday. Betty had no interest in their plan. "No need for anything extravagant. Having a meal together as a family is enough."Adeline added, "It's my 70th birthday. We should celebrate it in a big way."Celeste and Ivan thought the same too. Since it came from the grandchildren's kindness, Betty gave in to their suggestion. Jordyn still had to go to school tomorrow. Thus, after having dinner together, Celeste left the Rodriguez residence with Jordyn. After she arrived at the Fleming Manor, Jordyn got out of the car and ran into the house, beaming with joy. Celeste stayed in the car as she said to Jordyn, "Take a bath and rest early. I've got things to do, so I'll get going now."Jordyn's smile froze. "Huh?"She returned to the car and rested her face on it. Furrowing her brows, Jordyn asked, "Are you busy, Mom?"Celeste answered without changing her expression. "Yep.

In short, Trevor expected Celeste to take care of Jordyn over the weekend.For the past two years, Trevor had been the one to spend more time with Jordyn, regardless of the reasons. Whether it was due to personal plans or professional commitments making it inconvenient for Trevor to bring Jordyn along, the responsibility now fell to Celeste when he wasn't available.Celeste returned to the villa.During dinner, she asked Jordyn, "Where do you want to go this weekend?"Jordyn thought for a moment, then shook her head. "There's nowhere in particular I want to go."Seeing her expression, Celeste knew Jordyn wasn't uninterested in going out but would rather spend her weekend with Trevor and Wynn. With neither of them around, nothing seemed to excite her.Celeste didn't call her out on it and instead asked, "How about horseback riding?"Jordyn's face lit up at the suggestion. She hadn't ridden in a long time and was genuinely intrigued. She nodded eagerly. "Yes!"The next day, Celes

As Celeste drove away from the equestrian center, she found herself unsure of where to go.Lottie and Matthias had their own plans, and while she considered going back to the Rodriguez residence, the thought of returning alone without Jordyn made her hesitate—Betty would only grow more concerned for her.These thoughts swirled in her mind as she passed a wetland park. Families were camping, couples were enjoying time together, and young adults were bringing their parents out for a relaxing day.Seeing their happy, loving interactions, Celeste couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy and an ache deep in her chest.After driving for a while longer, she suddenly pulled over.She picked up her phone, hesitating for a long moment before finally dialing a number.When the call connected, she asked, "Hello, Dr. Harrison. How is my mother doing?"An hour and a half later, Celeste arrived at Harmony Nursing Home.Standing in the courtyard, her gaze fell on a frail, vacant-looking Isabell
