MasukAfter looking through them, Matthias curled his lips. "Having a meal together doesn't prove anything. Maybe they just ran into each other by chance and ended up eating together."He didn't believe Queenie and Lincoln would relent so quickly.If Wynn had a completely clean background, that would be one thing. But given the questionable way her mother had secured her position in the Lockets, he didn't believe Queenie and Lincoln would overlook it so easily.Celeste said, "When I had lunch with Beck earlier today, he mentioned it too. He said they've already agreed to the relationship."Matthias was momentarily at a loss for words.To be honest, if he were in Queenie and Lincoln's position, he would probably soften his stance as well, even if he didn't like Wynn.He snorted, then added, "Since the Fleming family has relented, your divorce should go through without any issues. What about your daughter? Have they told her yet?""Probably not. But that's not something I need to worry
Kieran couldn't understand it either—why Celeste seemed to have a good relationship with Lincoln, yet appeared to have no personal connection at all with Trevor.But then again, he had heard that the Yoder family and the Fleming family also had some ties, yet Matthias and Trevor had no interaction beyond work.Thinking of this, Kieran decided not to dwell on it further.…The next day, Beck came to YodaVision to discuss a new round of collaboration. Like before, Celeste was the one who received him.He looked at her. "Long time no see."It hadn't actually been that long. They had met not long ago before Shanice left Baumond to return to school.But since he put it that way, Celeste didn't contradict him and simply nodded. "Long time no see."When Kieran heard that Beck had come to meet Celeste, he had wanted to drop by and sit in, but he was too busy that day to get away.When the discussion was mostly wrapped up, Beck suggested having a meal together, and Celeste agreed.At
The next morning, after handling some matters at YodaVision, Celeste went to Fleming Group with Kieran and the others.It had been a while since they last came over. As soon as they arrived, someone couldn't help but gossip a little with them."Did you hear about Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket some time ago?"Celeste lowered her gaze. "I did.""After that incident, I heard their relationship got even better. In fact, these past couple of mornings, Mr. Fleming has been bringing Ms. Locket to the office with him. She's actually upstairs in his office right now."Celeste just smiled and didn't respond.After some casual chatter, they got down to work.At noon, Celeste went out for lunch with Lazarus and the others. After getting out of the car, she spotted Lincoln stepping out of a car nearby.Before Celeste could react, Lazarus and the others noticed him too.Ordinary employees of Fleming Group might not recognize Lincoln, but Lazarus did. He quickly stepped forward politely. "Mr. F
After they finished work, it was already getting dark. So, Quincy suggested they go for a meal together.Trevor said, "Sorry, I have something to take care of. Let's do dinner another time."Quincy chuckled. "Don't tell me you're going to have dinner with Ms. Locket?"Trevor paused for a moment, but didn't deny it.Seeing that, Quincy immediately understood that he was admitting it by not answering. "I heard Ms. Locket recovered a few days ago. You're still treating her like a treasure? Do you really need to accompany her for meals every day…"Halfway through his sentence, Quincy's gaze flicked toward Celeste. So, he abruptly stopped. Then he quickly apologized, "Sorry, I mean... Because you two—"He knew about the situation between Celeste and Trevor. But these past days, the two of them acted as if they were nothing more than business partners whenever they met.Sometimes, he genuinely forgot that there had ever been anything between them.Celeste could tell Quincy meant no h
The next morning, Celeste and Trevor both went to the courthouse as agreed.The procedure went smoothly.Once everything was done, Celeste got into her car and headed back to the company.News of their filing for divorce that morning quickly reached Miles and Beck.Miles said to Beck, "They should've done this a long time ago. When they decided not to divorce before, I already thought it was unnecessary. They both have someone else now—divorce was inevitable. There's no point dragging it out."As for Jo, I think it's Celeste's issue. If she truly cares about Jo, shouldn't she let go of the past and get along peacefully with Wynn for the child's sake now that she has found her own happiness? Wouldn't that be best for Jo?"But Celeste and Matthias weren't actually a real couple.Of course, Beck didn't say that out loud.Seeing Miles criticizing Celeste, Beck said, "Jo is her daughter. Even if she has already let go of Trevor and found her own happiness, you're asking her to let J
Because of all those messages, Celeste knew that Wynn had been discharged from the hospital on Thursday.On Friday night, Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, along with Beck and Miles, all went out for dinner together.Recently, Jordyn had been going to see Wynn every day. Celeste had assumed that she wouldn't think of her this weekend either.But to her surprise, on Saturday morning, Jordyn showed up at the Rodriguez residence. "Mom, I'm here."Celeste gently patted her head and responded with a soft hum, acting as if she didn't know that Jordyn had been spending every day with Wynn. "Where do you want to go today?"Jordyn hugged her and looked up. "What about you, Mom? Where do you want to go?""I'll go with whatever you decide."They went out and spent the whole morning together. Just as they picked a restaurant and were about to eat, another photo and message came through.In the photo, Trevor was sitting together with members of the Lockets and the Shaws, having a meal. But the setting
Matthias had been to the Rodriguez residence before, so he delivered the fireworks directly.As for Beck, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Celeste gave him an address near the Rodriguez residence instead.At around 2:00 pm, Celeste drove to the meeting spot.Over the phone, Beck had said he would ha
After setting off the fireworks, Celeste and Jamie bid farewell to the family elders and headed out.Their destination was the Baumond Broadcast Tower, one of the best places to take in the city's nightscape.The night before the Ember Festival, it would also feature a stunning light show and othe
Seeing Trevor and Wynn, Beck's gaze fell on Celeste.Noticing that Celeste's expression remained unchanged at the sight of those two, he lowered his head slightly and smiled, saying, "I'll head over for a moment."Celeste and Matthias both nodded.Beck walked over and had just exchanged a few wor
Wynn watched but didn't seem to care.Beck's softened attitude toward Celeste was merely because of his collaboration with YodaVision.Miles shared the same thought.This was the third time Calvin had seen Celeste.He said, "So, that young lady is Beck's girlfriend?"Miles almost choked on his
