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

Celeste remained calm.As she had thought before—with Trevor's memory, remembering these details wasn't surprising. The fact that he prepared these dishes was likely just his way of thanking them for visiting Martha.It didn't mean anything else.After finishing their meal, Celeste and Betty sat for another hour before getting ready to leave.Seeing that it was getting late, Martha didn't insist on keeping them and instead said to Trevor, "You and Jo should head home early too.""Alright," Trevor replied. "I'll come see you tomorrow morning."The four of them left the hospital room together.Once they entered the elevator, Trevor asked, "Did you drive here yourself?"Celeste replied with a hum.Trevor didn't say anything more, but Jordyn suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Mom, are you not coming home tonight too?""No," Celeste replied. "I'm taking your Granny home and staying over at her place for the night.""Then I want to stay at Granny's house too!"Alth

Jordyn leaned over as well. Seeing Trevor, she said, "Oh! It's Dad! Mom, let Dad in!"Celeste lowered her eyes. "Mm."The rest of the Rodriguez family overheard their conversation. They were a bit surprised to learn that Trevor was coming over, but since Jordyn was there, they didn't ask Celeste why he was here.A moment later, Trevor arrived.Celeste went out to meet him and asked, "Are you here to pick my grandmother up to visit the hospital?""Yes."Celeste nodded. "Wait a moment."Trevor replied, "Alright." He remained seated in his car.About ten minutes later, Betty finally came out of the house.Seeing this, Trevor got out and opened the car door for her.Jordyn was also getting ready to leave for school and said to Trevor, "Bye, Dad!""Goodbye."After exchanging nods with Celeste and the rest of the Rodriguez family, he got into his car and drove away.Celeste also got into her car and took Jordyn to school.At 11:30 am, while Celeste was busy at work, Betty calle

Seeing Trevor reach out, Celeste had no choice but to hand him the flowers she was holding.She didn't look at Miles or Beck and instead walked straight to the bedside, asking Martha, "How are you feeling now?""Still a little sore, but it's alright," Martha said.Having just undergone surgery not long ago, she was already feeling a bit fatigued. She reached out to hold Celeste's hand and said, "You've been working all day—are you tired? Have you eaten? Why don't you join Trevor and the others for dinner later?"Celeste replied, "It's fine, Grandma. I ate at the office before coming over."Seeing that Celeste was still maintaining her distance from Trevor, Martha paused and didn't insist any further.Celeste chatted with her for a little while longer. When Martha began to feel tired and wanted to rest, Celeste prepared to leave.Martha asked Trevor to walk her out. Since he and the others were about to go for dinner anyway, she left with them.Inside the elevator, Miles kept

Jordyn ran over excitedly. "Wow, so much delicious food! And milkshakes too!""Mm." Trevor said, "I knew you were coming, so I had some things prepared."As he spoke, his gaze landed on Celeste. Seeing that she ignored him, he shifted his focus to Hector and Jamie, nodding at them before standing up and saying, "Sit."Trevor carried an imposing presence.So, after greeting Martha, Jamie and Hector instinctively followed his words, sitting down with Jordyn and sharing the food that she and Trevor passed to them.Once the children started eating, Trevor handed Celeste a serving. "Try it?"Noticing that Martha was watching, Celeste accepted it and said, "Thank you."She took a sip and realized it was strawberry-flavored—exactly to her taste.Hearing that they were going skiing, Martha turned to Trevor and said, "Trevor, you should go with Cel and the kids."She continued, "Skiing is a dangerous activity. It'll be too much for Cel to watch over three children alone. Go help her. I

Celeste said to Trevor, "My uncle said someone from Fleming Group approached him about a project collaboration."Trevor was about to respond when Celeste continued, "I know you don't want to owe me or my grandmother, and you're trying to express your gratitude in this way."But my grandmother and I visit your grandmother at the hospital because of her, not because of you. So, you don't need to offer us any projects."If they did business with Fleming Group, the Lockets and the Shaws would surely be displeased and stir up trouble.Even if he was sincerely trying to thank her and her grandmother by offering the project to her uncle to help him, the fact remained that the woman he loved was Wynn.If, one day, he wavered and changed his mind, the so-called help now would turn into a burden. And if it happened, the ones who would bear the consequences would still be the Rodriguez family.She couldn't afford to accept his offer.With an indifferent tone, she added, "You can also rest

Ruby anxiously said, "I heard that in the few days since Martha got injured, Trevor and Celeste—even the other members of the Rodriguez family—have been in frequent contact."Yesterday, someone even saw Trevor having a meal with the old lady from the Rodriguez family. Could they be rekindling their past relationship?""There was never a relationship to rekindle," Wynn replied calmly, though she disliked Ruby's choice of words.Seeing how worried Ruby was, Wynn patiently explained, "Madam Daniels has a close relationship with the Rodriguez family. Trevor needs to keep Celeste and the old lady on good terms, so they'll continue visiting Martha. "That way, Martha won't use her surgery as leverage to force Trevor to break up with me."Ruby had never thought of this.Ever since Martha's fall, she had expelled both their families from the Fleming Group. For the past two days, both families had been worried that Martha would demand Trevor and Wynn break up as a condition for agreeing t

Celeste nodded and sat down on the sofa by the coffee table.Trevor then instructed, "Have someone bring us some coffee."Zeke replied, "Already taken care of."Just as he finished speaking, Naomi came in carrying coffee.When she saw Celeste, she froze for a moment. "Ms. Rodriguez?"Naomi had been the one to take over Celeste's job after she left Fleming Group. Since then, they had basically had no contact.Celeste nodded with a smile, "Long time no see.""Long time no see." Naomi smiled too. But given the situation, it wasn't really appropriate for her to chat too much.She placed the coffee carefully in front of both Celeste and Trevor, and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something and turned back to report on some work matters.After listening, Trevor said, "Got it. I'll have time this afternoon. Tell him to come by before three.""Okay." Naomi answered, then smiled and nodded politely at Celeste before hurrying out.Celeste watched her leave, slowly stirr

After they finished playing golf, Celeste and the others still had other plans.Trevor and Wynn had joined midway, and perhaps guessing that Celeste and the others had other arrangements that they might not be suited to join, Trevor took the initiative to say, "We have some other plans later, so we won't keep interrupting everyone's fun."Hearing this, Rowan and Theodore didn't insist on keeping them and said, "Is that so? That's fine. Let's meet up again next time when we're free."Trevor smiled and nodded before leaving with Wynn.Matthias had actually been a bit worried that Trevor and Wynn might tag along for their meal afterwards.Seeing Trevor leave on his own initiative, he felt a little relieved and whispered to Celeste, "At least he knows when to back off."Celeste smiled and hummed a response.…After they had walked a distance, Trevor finally asked, "Upset?"Having stumbled twice today, Wynn was indeed feeling down. Especially seeing how much Rowan and the others li

The group chatted while playing golf.However, it was obvious that Theodore and Rowan were far more interested in the topic they were discussing than in the game itself.At first, they talked about international affairs. As the conversation went on, Theodore and Rowan ended up simulating a battle arrangement right there on the spot.As they got more and more into it, Celeste and Matthias simply stood by and listened, along with Trevor and Wynn.Maybe not wanting the younger ones to just stand around, Rowan said, "Why don't you join in and share your thoughts?"After a moment, Celeste spoke up, "With strong enemies on all sides, it's not suitable to charge in alone. So for now, staying put would be a good choice."Hearing this, Wynn paused.She had to admit, it was a good idea. If Celeste hadn't said it first, she honestly wouldn't have thought of it herself.Just as that thought crossed her mind, she saw Rowan smiling and nodding in agreement.Matthias reacted quickly too. He

Rowan said to Trevor, "Since you're here, why don't you stay and join us for a while?"Trevor replied, "Sure."After exchanging a few pleasantries with Trevor, Rowan turned back to Harold, Matthias, and the others and asked, "Where were we just now?"Matthias answered, "We were discussing how we should appropriately handle the situation if we discover a foreign probe entering our controlled area."Hearing this, Wynn couldn't help but start thinking about it too.Rowan smiled and asked, "What do you think? Cel, do you have any thoughts?"Earlier, Matthias and Celeste hadn't had time to really think about it before Trevor and Wynn showed up.Now that Rowan asked again, Celeste and Matthias both paused briefly.When Wynn heard Rowan call Celeste by her nickname, she suddenly got distracted.Cel? Rowan was addressing Celeste so intimately.Moreover, she noticed that whenever Rowan looked at Celeste, his demeanor was very warm and kind—he genuinely seemed to admire her.She frown

After dinner, Jordyn followed Celeste back to the Rodriguez residence.That night, she received a call from Rowan, inviting her and Matthias to play golf the next morning.Celeste agreed. However, when she saw the address Rowan sent, she hesitated for a moment.The golf course happened to be a property owned by the Fleming family. She had been there before.Still, since she had already agreed, it wouldn't be appropriate to back out now.…Early Saturday morning, she drove out as planned.When she and Matthias arrived at the golf course, Rowan, Theodore, and Harold were already there.Seeing them, Rowan and the others greeted them with a smile, "You're here."Celeste nodded.Rowan asked, "Do you know how to play golf?"Celeste nodded again. "I've learned a bit."After some polite small talk, they began playing golf while chatting casually.Not long after, just as Celeste was putting away her club, she saw two people walking toward them from a distance.It was Trevor and Wy

Although Celeste and Matthias had already asked Candice to politely decline Cayden's request for a meeting, he still showed up uninvited two days later.Since he had come in person, Celeste and Matthias couldn't completely refuse to see him.They gave him a brief, symbolic reception, but after chatting for just over ten minutes, they politely sent him off.After that, whenever Cayden tried to arrange another meeting, they simply ignored him.With Celeste and Matthias maintaining a firm stance, and unable to meet with them, Cayden invited Wynn out for a meal the next day instead.During the meal, Cayden chatted with her about the developments in the industry for a while before saying, "If you had joined YodaVision last year, you would've grown so much by now. What a shame."At their last meeting, Cayden had asked about her current situation. After hearing she hadn't gotten into YodaVision, he didn't comment much.But now, recalling the matter, he couldn't help expressing his regr

Celeste didn't care how Trevor thought of her or looked at her, nor was she interested.After leaving the restaurant, Celeste and Matthias' group headed back to Fleming Tech for a meeting.This time, Lilian and Linda didn't follow. But Wynn did.Seeing Wynn come along again, Matthias secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Fleming, about Ms. Locket—"Trevor seemed to know what he wanted to say.Before Matthias could finish, Trevor spoke up, "If you're concerned about confidentiality, you don't have to worry. If anything does happen, I'll take full responsibility."Matthias had expected him to say that. After all, when they first started working with InnovaTech, Trevor had said exactly the same thing.Even so, Matthias still needed clear assurance.Hearing Trevor's words, Matthias put on a half-hearted smile and said, "I feel better with your assurance."During the meeting in the morning, the seat at the center of the table was occupied by Trevor alone. Now that Wynn was here,

Before Trevor could respond, his phone rang.He stepped outside to take the call, and by the time he returned, the food was being served.Miles' question was left hanging—brushed aside just like that.Right now, the author of the paper that engineers in the country and abroad were scrambling to read was sitting right in front of them.As the meal progressed, Rodney and his students couldn't help but ask Celeste questions as they skimmed through the paper's core content and experimental data.Whether they asked about specific parts of the paper or about broader problems that had puzzled them in their own research, Celeste responded to everything fluently and confidently.Wynn watched in silence. Her heart was calm.Watching Celeste speak so assuredly with Rodney and the others actually seemed like she did know what she was talking about.But was that really possible?Given Matthias' capabilities, if he was willing to credit Celeste as first author, then he must have ensured she

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,
