Chapter 23

Author: No Questions
When they got home, Celine had mostly sobered up. She watched Trevor coax Ellie to sleep, then sat down across from her.

"If you're upset, it's okay to cry." Trevor poured her some water and thoughtfully opened a fresh pack of tissues.

Celine didn't want to cry. He wasn't worth it.

She just wanted to ask, "Did you tell Ellie to call you that?"

Trevor nodded. "Yeah. I couldn't stand watching him anymore, but you told me not to interfere, so I had to resort to underhanded tactics. If you're un

    After confirming that Ellie's injury wasn't serious, Celine left her with Trevor and locked herself in the study. She didn't emerge until after midnight.Trevor had been waiting outside the whole time. When he saw she was still furious, he spoke gently, "Celine, let me do something to help.""Taking care of Ellie is helping me. This is something I have to handle myself." Celine didn't want to drag him into it.Trevor pulled her into a silent embrace.…No company could be completely clean from top to bottom. Over the past five years, Celine had handled plenty of business for Kirk Industries, especially after Quinn came back.Steven barely spent two hours a day at the office. Most of the documents that needed his approval were processed remotely by Celine. If she wanted to cause Steven trouble, it would be easy.Trevor gave Celine time off and stopped making her come to work. He also tried to finish his own work as quickly as possible each day so he could come home and be with he

"Yeah. I couldn't stand watching him anymore, but you told me not to interfere, so I had to resort to underhanded tactics. If you're unhappy about it, I won't let her call me that anymore."Underhanded tactics? It was more like going straight for the jugular.Celine's mind kept replaying Ellie's words. "Daddy never does anything to make Mommy unhappy."She looked at Trevor sitting across from her, gentle and considerate as always. "You like it, and she likes it. So let her keep calling you that."It took Trevor a moment to process what she'd said. A few seconds later, he grabbed Celine's hand like an excited kid who couldn'

    Watching Celine smile warmly at Trevor one second, then turn ice-cold the moment she saw him, Steven felt his chest tighten with a confusing mix of emotions.He still refused to believe that Celine had really thrown away five years of what they'd shared."Celine, have you really thought this through? You want us to be complete strangers?" Steven asked."Steven, if there's something wrong with your brain, go to the hospital and get it checked. Do I look like someone who wants to continue anything with you?" Celine's voice dripped with undisguised disgust.What part of her feelings hadn't she made clear enough? How could he not see that she wanted nothing to do with him?Steven felt like his heart was being slashed with a knife. "Then, what were those five years?""You said you liked me. You said you wanted to be with me. You pushed me out of the way during that car accident. You took care of me when I was sick."And what about Zane? We agreed we'd raise him together, that when he

    Trevor's place wasn't far from the office, just a ten-minute drive. The house wasn't particularly large, but it was decorated warmly.Ellie absolutely loved the oversized couch in the living room. She rolled around on it again and again, reluctant to get up."Mommy, can we sleep on the couch tonight?" she asked Celine hopefully."Sure. I'll get the blankets for you," Trevor agreed and headed into the bedroom to grab them.After rolling around on the couch one more time, Ellie shouted at the top of her lungs, "Thank you, Mr. Brennan! You're the best!"Celine looked over at Ellie. When she'd first taken her in, Ellie had been so timid and clingy. She needed to stay close at all times and would panic if Celine left her sight.These past few months had done her good. Her cheeks had filled out and rounded nicely. She'd gotten bolder, too. Sometimes, when Celine was busy with work, Ellie would go find Trevor on her own."Do you like Mr. Brennan?" Celine pinched her cheek.Ellie nodde

    Celine turned and walked away without looking back. Steven couldn't get into the office building, so he could only wait downstairs.Trevor deliberately had his driver pick up Ellie from the side parking garage entrance. While they were upstairs, he casually mentioned something to Celine."Steven's been asking around about available units in your building. Looks like he wants to be your neighbor."Ellie blinked. Despite her young age, she still remembered that name. She looked at Celine in confusion. "Mommy, is that Daddy?""No, just a stranger. If you see him, don't believe anything he says and don't go anywhere with him." Celine stroked her head as she gave the warning.Ellie nodded obediently and went off to play. Celine's brows furrowed. She wasn't afraid of Steven, but if he kept haunting her like this, it would seriously disrupt her life."Why don't you and Ellie stay at my place for a few days? The security in my building is excellent," Trevor asked tentatively.When Celin

    "Thank you," Celine said to Trevor.Trevor looked at her. "Celine, just now…""It's what you think it is. Steven and I lived together for five years, and we have a child together."Thank you for everything you've done these past few days. I'll hire a nanny tomorrow, so you won't need to pick up Ellie anymore," Celine spoke politely but distantly."Celine!" Trevor grabbed her arm, frustrated by her attempt to cut ties."I've known you had a family and a child since the day you started working here. If I cared about that, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to be good to you and Ellie."Celine looked at him without much emotion. "But you saw what happened. Steven has Kirk Industries backing him. He's impulsive. If he takes his anger out on you and hurts your company…"Trevor suddenly laughed. He spoke with certainty, "Celine, you do have feelings for me, don't you? You're worried about me."Celine's gaze shifted slightly. Her voice became deliberately firm. "I'm just giving you an
