Chapter 222

Author: Cloudsearcher
Hearing Caleb's invitation, Celeste smiled and said, "Okay."

They followed the crowd forward.

Just as they reached the railing, brilliant fireworks exploded across the riverbank, drawing gasps and laughter from the crowd, though the sounds were quickly drowned out by the thunderous bursts.

Many people took photos, while others made wishes.

Noticing that Celeste was simply watching in silence without doing anything else, Caleb asked, "Do you want me to record a video for you?"

Celeste shook her head. "No need, just watching is enough."

Caleb didn't press further.

At that moment, Wynn's gaze swept in their direction.

They were several meters apart, but Caleb's tall stature and striking appearance made him easy to spot.

Having met him a few times before, they were at least acquaintances.

Wynn was about to mention him to Trevor, who was holding Jordyn, and go over to say hello—when she suddenly saw the person standing partially obscured behind Caleb.

It was Celeste.

    "Miss, would you like some chocolate-covered fruit?"Celeste turned around.The plump fruits on the skewer gleamed temptingly in the light, stirring something in her heart. It had been a long time since she'd had chocolate-covered fruit.With that thought, she glanced in Jordyn's direction.As expected, she saw the little girl happily munching on a skewer of chocolate-covered fruit.Aside from that, at some point, Wynn had acquired a bouquet of red roses.She leaned against Trevor, talking to him, while Jordyn handed her the skewer with a bite taken out of it.Wynn smiled as she accepted it and took a bite right from Jordyn's hand. After another bite, Jordyn passed it to Trevor.Trevor shook his head, said something she couldn't hear, and declined.Celeste withdrew her gaze and said to the vendor, "I'll take a skewer of strawberries."Just as she was about to ask Caleb if he wanted one, he spoke first, "I'll handle it."Before she could react, he had already taken out his ph

    Caleb's phone rang. After a moment, he put it down and said, "I have something to take care of. I'm heading back first—want to come along?"Jorge snapped out of his thoughts, his eyes darkening slightly. "No, I'm waiting for someone. You go ahead. Let's catch up another time.""Alright." Caleb left.Once his figure disappeared, Jorge turned and walked toward the cafe.As he pushed the door open, he happened to run into Wynn, who was about to take Jordyn to the restroom.Both of them stopped in their tracks.Wynn recognized him and said, "Mr. Robinson? What a coincidence.""Yeah." Jorge closed the door behind him, letting his gaze sweep across the cafe. Then, he spotted Trevor at the counter, ordering from the server.Retracting his gaze, he let it fall on Jordyn.It only took a single glance for him to be almost certain—Jordyn was Trevor's daughter. She resembled him by at least 50%.Still, he asked, "And she is…?"Wynn lowered her eyes slightly. "Trevor's daughter."As exp

    A little while later, Wynn, Jordyn, and Jorge came out of the restroom.Jordyn was at an age where her curiosity was at its peak. She was fascinated by everything along the way, looking here and there, chatting nonstop with Wynn.Wynn responded with a gentle smile the entire time.Jorge observed them and felt that Wynn was incredibly dedicated to Trevor's child. At the same time, he realized how difficult it was to take care of a kid.Back at the cafe, the first thing Jorge did was glance toward Trevor.He saw that Trevor was casually sipping his coffee while flipping through a magazine, looking completely at ease—like someone who had simply delegated all responsibilities to others.Jorge paused slightly.Earlier, on the way to the restroom, Jorge had mentioned that he was also meeting a friend at the cafe.Once they were inside, Wynn asked, "Has your friend arrived yet?"Jorge shook his head. "Not yet.""Why don't you come sit with us for a while?""You two are out on a dat

    Jordyn looked around again. After confirming that Celeste was nowhere to be seen, she left with Wynn.Watching their retreating figures, Jorge was about to leave when he suddenly noticed Celeste standing not far to the side.His steps faltered.Realizing who it was, he initially decided to ignore her and walk away. But then, he noticed that Celeste's gaze was fixed on Wynn and Jordyn.Her expression was cold, and her eyes were even colder. In fact, the way she looked at Wynn almost felt like she was looking at an enemy.With that kind of stare, Jorge couldn't help but think that Celeste might actually harbor ill intentions toward Wynn.He observed her silently, convinced that she was still holding a grudge against Wynn. So, he walked over.Celeste was carrying quite a few things—two potted plants and several decorative ornaments. The ornaments were an impulse buy.Ever since she moved into her current place, she had been too busy with her own affairs to decorate much, leaving h

    As soon as Trevor and Jordyn returned to the villa, Trevor's phone rang.So, he answered the call.A moment later, he put his phone away, slipped back into the coat he had just taken off, and told Jordyn, who was walking upstairs with him, "Your Nana accidentally fell and got injured. She's been taken to the hospital. I'm heading over now. You should get some rest early."Jordyn said worriedly, "I want to go see Nana too—""You have school tomorrow. You can visit after class.""Alright then…" Jordyn said.Trevor turned and left.Just then, Jordyn's phone chimed. She quickly picked it up and checked.Seeing that it was just a spam message, she pouted in disappointment.On the way back, she had tried calling Celeste, wanting to ask if the person she saw at the mall was really her. But she didn't answer.When she got a message just now, she thought for a moment that it might be from Celeste. But, it wasn't.Still, thinking about it, if Celeste really had time to go shopping on

    That night, Trevor did not leave the hospital.The next morning, Queenie and Teagan, along with other family members, gradually returned and visited the hospital.Upon learning that Trevor had stayed at the hospital all night, they urged him to go home and rest.Trevor told Martha, "I'll come back to see you tonight."However, Martha ignored him.After leaving the hospital, Trevor made a phone call.…An hour later, the Lockets and the Shaws received the news that they had been removed from the project team.They immediately contacted Wynn.Wynn said, "It was Madam Daniels' decision. She had a fall last night…"The Lockets and the Shaws didn't expect this turn of events.Mason asked, "Does this mean Madam Daniels also took the opportunity to demand that Trevor break up with you and forbid him from divorcing Celeste?"Wynn pressed her lips together tightly.After discussing a bit more, she ended the call.Just then, someone knocked and entered her office. "Ms. Locket, the

    Celeste wasn't surprised to see Jordyn at the hospital. She reached out and patted her head. "Came over after school?""Mm!" Jordyn was delighted to see her. She then called out to Martha, "Nana."Just as Martha responded, Trevor walked out of the hospital room.Seeing them, he nodded slightly in greeting.Betty's expression remained indifferent, and she didn't say anything.Celeste only glanced at him briefly before looking away.Seeing that Jordyn seemed to have something to say to her, Celeste said, "Granny and I will go in first to see your Nana.""Oh…" Hearing this, Jordyn reluctantly suppressed her urge to talk.She reached out to hold Celeste's hand and followed her into the hospital room.Trevor took the flowers and fruit basket they had brought and followed behind them into the room.When Martha saw Celeste and Betty, she was pleasantly surprised and smiled. "What brings you two here?"Seeing her struggling to sit up despite the pain, Betty quickly stopped her and s

    Jordyn turned to Trevor, who was sitting nearby, watching them. "Dad, I want to eat here. Can we have the food packed and brought back?"Trevor said, "Okay."Jordyn immediately brightened up and hugged Celeste even tighter.Betty and Martha had plenty to talk about. Celeste, on the other hand, mostly sat quietly, occasionally chiming in with a few words.After a while, Jordyn started feeling tired and asked Celeste, "Mom, when will you be done with work?"Not wanting Betty to hear, Celeste picked her up and carried her over to the couch near the hospital bed before answering, "I'm not sure, but if things go as expected, I will probably get even busier.""Huh?" Jordyn didn't expect that answer and was visibly disappointed. "Then when will you have time to take me skiing?" She hadn't forgotten about it.Celeste thought for a moment and said, "Next month.""Really?""Mm." Celeste nodded. "When I have time, I'll let you know.""Okay!" Jordyn instantly perked up.Remembering la

    It really was Celeste?Even though Jorge, Lilian, and Linda didn't specialize in AI and couldn't fully grasp how groundbreaking Celeste's paper was, they did know one thing—Wynn's advisor, Cayden, was a major figure in the AI world.A world-renowned expert like him paying this much attention to a paper—personally messaging Wynn and urging her to study it thoroughly—was a huge deal.On top of that, Rodney's student had just said Celeste's paper had caused a massive stir both at home and abroad, with top engineers staying up all night to read it.All of this pointed to one thing: Celeste's paper had real weight. But how could such a powerful paper possibly have come from Celeste?Rodney, not knowing who Celeste was or her history with the Lockets and the Shaws, hadn't read the paper yet.Still, just hearing that it had increased large language model efficiency for long-text processing over tenfold was already enough to get him excited.He immediately turned to Matthias and asked,

    Linda looked smugly at Celeste.Lilian also felt genuinely happy for her daughter. Celeste, as usual, couldn't even be bothered to look in their direction.She quietly lowered her head and sipped her tea, blending into the background, not participating in the discussion between Wynn and Rodney at all.Seeing Wynn receiving so much admiration from all these seasoned experts, Jorge finally felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.Just then, Cayden sent another message to Wynn."YodaVision is a truly astonishing and innovative company. Not only is its founder Matthias, but many of the engineers under him are highly creative. "I'll likely visit again soon. I hope to have an in-depth conversation with Matthias and some of his engineers."The NMI journal adopted a strict double-blind review process, where reviewers couldn't see the identities of the authors. So until now, Cayden had no idea who had actually written the paper he was so impressed with.Wynn saw his message and ass

    As soon as the words were spoken, a knock sounded at the private dining room door.It was Miles and Beck.Miles pushed the door open, and upon seeing how many people were already inside, he exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa, so many people?"This restaurant was owned by his family.He and Beck had just come over for a meal. After hearing from the restaurant manager that Trevor was dining here, they decided to drop by and say hello—they didn't expect such a large gathering.And on top of that, it was full of familiar faces.Seeing so many people there, Miles instantly felt that just the two of them dining alone would be no fun, so he asked, "Trevor, since there are already so many here, do you mind if Beck and I join as well?"Trevor turned and asked, "Professor Milford, Mr. Yoder, I wonder if—"Since Rodney had just voluntarily invited the Lockets and the Shaws to join, Trevor couldn't very well refuse his own friends.Rodney replied graciously, "Of course, I don't mind.

    Exchange ideas? There was no way Matthias and Wynn could exchange anything meaningful.Of course, with so many people present, there was no need for him to say that out loud to Rodney. After all, he and Rodney were just casual acquaintances.Instead, he gave a perfunctory smile and said, "You're right, Professor."Rodney was pretty well-known in the AI field in the country.The Lockets and the Shaws also assumed that Matthias would look more favorably on Wynn because she was a student under Cayden, a leading expert in the field.And now, hearing how much Rodney admired Wynn, Linda looked smugly at Celeste.Wynn was a student under someone as prestigious as Cayden Sweeney. But Celeste? What was she? In front of Wynn, Celeste was nothing.That was how Lilian, Harvey, and the others saw it too.When Trevor called Wynn earlier, Lilian, Harvey, and the rest were all there.When they heard there would be a group lunch, they decided to drop by as well. But to be fair, they weren't t

    As soon as she finished speaking, before Caleb could respond, Celeste's communicator rang.Seeing the message on the device, she quickly said, "Something urgent came up at the data center, I have to go," and hurried off.…The next morning, Celeste left the military base.After taking a day off to rest at home, she returned to work at YodaVision.YodaVision had officially begun its collaboration with Fleming Tech. The day she returned to YodaVision, Matthias happened to be heading there for a meeting.Previously, when negotiating the contract with Trevor, she could step aside and let Matthias or Joseph handle the discussions.But this new project between YodaVision and Fleming Tech required her direct involvement to move forward.This meeting was to discuss core technology cooperation between the two companies. So, after returning to YodaVision, Celeste accompanied Matthias to the Fleming Group.Along with them were Kieran and other technical staff.Just as they reached the m

    Celeste quickly nodded to Zachary, then turned to Caleb and said, "Sorry, I can't go to the cafeteria with you."Caleb responded gently, "It's okay."With that, Celeste left.Caleb watched as she and Zachary walked away and then went to the cafeteria by himself. He hadn't taken a break in a while, and two days after meeting Celeste, his official leave began.During those two days, he hadn't seen her again.When he returned home, no one in his family knew he was on leave—everyone was busy with their own things and not at home.When Jorge heard he was back, he asked him out for a meal.While they were eating, Xavier couldn't help but gossip to Caleb."Didn't expect that Ms. Locket, the woman Jorge likes, turns out to be Cayden Sweeney's student. She's really something."Caleb wasn't familiar with the AI development and didn't know who Cayden was.Xavier knew that Caleb wouldn't know. He himself hadn't known either, until recently—thanks to Jorge, he'd learned a little.Caleb

    Sunday was Mother's Day.Jordyn was driven over to the Rodriguez residence on Saturday by Trevor's driver.Her Mother's Day gift for Celeste was a handmade card, on which she had written, "Happy Mother's Day, Mom. Love you." in six words."Pretty, right? The teacher said I could ask Dad to help, but he's been too busy lately. I did everything myself—from the layout, drawing the patterns, to sticking on the little hearts."It had been a while since Celeste last saw Jordyn doing homework. Her handwriting had become noticeably more beautiful.Upon hearing this, Celeste looked at the card in her hands and suddenly remembered something from last year.She had flown all the way to Andostan to spend her birthday with Jordyn and Trevor, only to find that Jordyn was busy polishing a bracelet for Wynn.And from what Jordyn said, that bracelet had been a collaborative effort between her and Trevor.Celeste thought about all of this, but her expression didn't change.She slowly closed the

    After the people from Youtopia recognized Betty, they noticed that the Lockets and the Shaws didn't say anything about her presence.It became clear to them that the Locket family didn't want the past between the Rodriguez and the Locket families to be widely discussed.Seeing this, even though some people recognized Betty, none of them stepped forward to greet her.Instead, some shifted their attention to Wynn and Calvin.One guest even smiled and said to Erin right in front of Celeste and Betty, "Madam Locket, your grandchildren are so outstanding—in both looks and demeanor. You are truly blessed."Indeed, Wynn and Calvin were the pride of both Erin and the entire Locket family.Erin didn't spare Celeste another glance.Upon hearing the compliment, she looked lovingly at Calvin and Wynn and smiled, "You're exaggerating."Whatever she said next, Celeste didn't hear. She and her family had already moved past the crowd and walked away.As for Trevor, after the initial moment sh

    "Isn't that so?"Jorge, Miles, and the others were also present.They didn't know about the grudges between Celeste and the Lockets and Shaws, so when they heard Erin say the guests had mistaken someone for her granddaughter, they didn't react much.Neither Harvey nor Lennox said a word in defense of Celeste.Linda watched it all with a deep sense of satisfaction.Janet looked like she wanted to say something, but with so many people around, she didn't dare. She just lowered her head in silence.Just then, Betty, along with Jamie and Hector, walked out of the elevator."Celeste?"As soon as they stepped out and saw the crowd, Jamie and Hector hadn't even had time to react before they spotted Celeste, who was about to leave.Hearing Hector's voice, Celeste turned her head and saw her grandmother and younger siblings.Soon, Betty and the others also saw Trevor.But at the same time, Betty also spotted Harvey, Lilian, and the rest of the Locket family.Celeste pressed her lips
