Celeste had barely started her meal at another restaurant when her phone buzzed twice.It was a message from Lottie. She tapped it open and found two photos attached. The people in the photos? Trevor and Wynn. She pursed her lips. Without examining them further, she exited the chat. The second she did, Lottie's call came through. Celeste hesitated briefly, then got up and stepped outside to answer. "Lottie, hi.""Cel, did you see the photos I sent you just now?"She only glanced at one of the photos; she didn't bother looking at the other one. Still, she said, "Yeah, I saw them."Lottie launched into a rant. "My friend sent the first photo to me last night, saying that they spotted them at a hotel. On Ember Festival, of all holidays! Can you believe it? They actually booked a room together? Shameless."Celeste's expression remained unchanged. She didn't even frown one bit and just hummed a soft reply. "The second one is even worse. My friend screenshotted her post. S

Celeste instinctively reached out, steadying Jordyn to keep her from falling.But the moment Jordyn crashed into her arms, Wynn's perfume drifted into her nose once again.Celeste took the girl's backpack and set it aside on the couch. Just as Jordyn was about to run toward the bed, Celeste gently pulled her back. "Did you shower?""I did."And yet, Wynn's scent still lingered on her. That could only mean one thing—Wynn had either been living with Trevor, or the two of them had just dropped her off together. They just hadn't bothered to come inside. "You're all sweaty. Go change into something clean," Celeste said flatly. Jordyn recalled that after her shower, she had been running around and probably worked up a little sweat. Hence, she nodded obediently and went into the bathroom to change. Celeste, on the other hand, continued to organize her research materials. As soon as Jordyn finished changing, she came out of the bathroom. Then, she took out a bunny-shaped light

The next day, when Celeste went upstairs after breakfast, she noticed Jordyn was on a video call with Trevor. Jordyn looked up and called out to her. Celeste hummed a soft reply, then opened her laptop. On the other end of the phone, Trevor asked, "Do you have any plans for today?"Jordyn was lying on the bed. Cheerfully, she replied, "I want to watch a movie, and Mom will be taking me to see one this afternoon!" Celeste was engrossed in the materials she had organized the day before. Moments later, Jordyn came over holding the phone. "Mom, Dad wants me to give this to you."Celeste paused, took the phone, and glanced at Trevor's face on the screen. She didn't feel like having a video chat, so she placed the phone on the desk, pointing the front camera at the ceiling. "What is it?""Thank you for taking care of Jo these few days," Trevor said. Celeste didn't reply. Her attention was still on her laptop as she typed, adding in the ideas she had missed yesterday. "Anythi

After grabbing a bite and watching a movie, Celeste and Jordyn passed by an arcade. Jordyn's eyes lit up—she hadn't played games with Celeste in ages. Without hesitation, she pulled her inside. Trips to the mall, movies, and arcades were nothing new for Jordyn, but getting to do them with Celeste again made it feel special. She was having the time of her life. That evening, Celeste had dinner plans with Theodore. As they left the arcade, she figured she'd drop Jordyn off at home before heading to the restaurant. But Jordyn wasn't ready to part ways. She tugged on Celeste's hand and pouted. "Can't I come with you?"Celeste hesitated. It was just a casual dinner with Theodore—nothing formal. Hence, bringing Jordyn along wouldn't be a big deal. With that in mind, Celeste called Theodore and asked if he was okay with her bringing a child. Theodore chuckled as he replied, "Cel, just bring them along. I don't mind." Then, after a brief pause, he asked, "Yours?""Yeah."The

Having worked non-stop for over a day and night, Celeste noted down everything that needed to be documented and sent it to Matthias. Finally, she made her way downstairs for breakfast. After going through the materials she had sent, Matthias was so excited his hands trembled. "This is exactly it, Cel! It's perfect!"Rubbing her aching temples, Celeste replied, "I'm going to sleep for a bit. Let's talk later.""Sure thing."Celeste slept until late afternoon. When she woke up, she found Jordyn playing with a puzzle in her room. As soon as Jordyn saw Celeste, the former stood up. "Mom, you're awake!"Celeste nodded in reply. "Are you thirsty, Mom? Should I get you a glass of water?"Celeste paused for a second. "Yes, please."After pouring Celeste a glass of water, Jordyn went back to her own game. Celeste watched as she played the puzzle, and she realized how much she had neglected her in the past few days due to her work. But today was the last day of the holidays.

Just after Jordyn called Celeste, the car Trevor sent to pick Jordyn up showed up. In the end, Jordyn didn't manage to see Celeste before she left. As she reached the private lounge, Jordyn ran straight into Trevor's arms. "Dad, Wynn, hi!"Smiling, Trevor softly ruffled her hair. Wynn helped Jordyn set her backpack aside. Beck, Miles, and Linda were there in the private lounge as well. Seeing how much Jordyn missed Trevor and Wynn, Miles chuckled and said, "See? I told you, Trevor. You should've brought Jo along on the trip. Look how upset she is. If you'd stayed away any longer, Jo would probably have been in tears."Miles's comment made it seem like staying with Celeste had been unfair to Jordyn. Before Trevor and the others could say anything, Beck smoothly steered the conversation in another direction. "Did you do anything fun while you were there, Jo?"Jordyn settled down in her seat. "I did! I went to watch a movie with Mom, and we played VR games together. We also d

They were halfway through the meal when something suddenly popped into Miles' mind. He said to Wynn, "That reminds me, YodaVision Co. is actively recruiting talents. Do you want to try working there again?"Although she had spent the last few days overseas, she was aware of YodaVision Co.'s movements. Truth be told, she was quite tempted to go. After all, the company had the most impressive technology ever. Working there would do wonders for her personal growth. However, something was still holding her back.Miles knew that Wynn was worried that Celeste might make things hard for her. He grinned and said, "I ran into a friend yesterday. It sounded like Matthias was also earnestly getting in touch with people with experience in management, aside from technicians with a specific set of skills."Judging by the way YodaVision Co. was recruiting new talents, Matthias didn't reserve any managerial position for her." Naturally, he was talking about Celeste. YodaVision Co. was expanding

After work, Celeste and Matthias swung by Zachary's villa. Zachary was frowning and talking with someone over the phone. When he saw them, he ended the call, took a seat, and said, "After seeing your research content, some people were interested in meeting you. I'll introduce you to them next time."Celeste nodded obediently. "Okay."Her current research had been officially designated as a national project. Then, Zachary talked to her about what she should expect from it. Afterward, Celeste and Matthias asked him for some pointers about something. By the time they left, it was already midnight. The next morning, they went back to YodaVision Co. Celeste was going through the resumes that the human resources department had filtered for the technical department. She had been reading them for a while when she suddenly stopped. Matthias was right next to her, and he noticed how unusual she looked. He asked, "What's the matter?""This is Wynn's resume."Matthias raised an eyebrow

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,
