MasukThat night, Celeste stayed in the hospital and barely slept, only managing a little over an hour at dawn.When she woke up and had just splashed some water on her face, Trevor and Jordyn arrived.Trevor said, "Jo wanted to come see you."After that, he walked past her into the ward, set the food container on the small round table by the balcony, and glanced at Betty lying inside with a ventilator. "She's still not awake?"Celeste shook her head.Trevor didn't ask further. And since Jordyn still had to go to school, the two of them left shortly after.That evening, after school, they came again.Celeste didn't expect them to show up this often—while Jordyn coming made sense, Trevor coming along every time was... unexpected.Watching Jordyn cling to her, looking up with those trusting, dependent eyes, Celeste could feel clearly how attached Jordyn was to her, and how much she cared about her great-grandmother.She understood Jordyn's feelings, but still...She turned to Trevor
As the elder, Ivan was the first to speak. "Thank you for bringing Jo over. You've been standing for so long—you both must be tired. Go home and rest."Before Trevor could respond, Jordyn went straight to hug Celeste. "I don't want to go home. Mom, I want to stay here with you."With how critical the situation had been earlier, everyone in the family had thought the old lady might not make it.Sensing her mother's anxiety, Jordyn wanted to stay by her side.Facing Jordyn's small, eager eyes, Celeste paused. Her expression softened with a mix of emotions.She gently touched Jordyn's cheek. "I have to stay in the hospital to take care of your granny. I won't be able to look after you. Go home with Dad first.""Okay... Then I'll come tomorrow to see you and Granny."Celeste nodded. "Alright."Then she turned to Trevor. "Take Jo home."He didn't say anything extra—only asked, "Should we tell Grandma?"Celeste shook her head lightly.Martha was elderly too. With the situation sti
Earlier, Wynn had said she would be going out later with Trevor.But more than an hour passed before she finally came downstairs—wearing pajamas, her makeup completely removed.Linda was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Wynn, you're not going out anymore?"Wynn's expression was blank. "Trevor had something come up last minute. We're not going out.""Oh..."So on her birthday, Trevor only had dinner with her, together with Beck and Miles?He did give her gifts, but compared to the past few years, he really seemed a lot more indifferent this time.Still, no one overthought it. They assumed he genuinely had something urgent to handle.…For the next few days, Celeste was extremely busy with work.That afternoon, she was at YodaVision reviewing data when her phone suddenly rang. The moment she answered, her face went pale. She immediately rushed toward the hospital.Once she got into the car, the doctor's words echoed in her mind. She paused, then quickly called Jordyn.Jor
Wynn wasn't at home, but she could pretty much guess what her family must be thinking.She started the car, ready to drive off, when her gaze accidentally fell on the gift boxes from Trevor and the others. Then, she paused.He hadn't proposed today, but she was still curious about what he'd given her.Wynn picked up the gift box from Trevor and opened it.Inside was a high-quality diamond necklace, probably worth several million dollars.As a birthday gift, it was considered impressive even for someone like Trevor.But—Compared to the gifts he used to give her—always extravagant and exceptional—this necklace felt... lacking.Still, thinking of how he was pushing to divorce Celeste, this less-than-spectacular gift didn't bother her much.With that in mind, she set the box aside. Her eyes landed on Beck's gift next. She hesitated, then opened it as well.It was a bottle of red wine.Not cheap, either.A gift perfectly suitable for a general female friend.But compared to be
Maybe because he noticed Wynn was distracted, Trevor asked, "What's wrong?"Wynn smiled. "Nothing."He didn't press further.Miles and Beck hadn't noticed anything off and continued their earlier conversation.After dinner, as time ticked on and it became clear that everyone was preparing to leave, the surprise she'd been waiting for still hadn't appeared. Wynn's heart kept sinking, though she still held onto a sliver of hope.But once Trevor called the waiter over to settle the bill, and it was obvious that they were truly leaving the restaurant with no other arrangements afterward, her sinking heart finally turned cold. She stood frozen in place."Wynn?"This time, it was Jordyn who noticed something was wrong first.Before Wynn could respond, Trevor turned around after hearing Jordyn's voice, concern in his eyes. Her heart eased a little instantly.Back home, everyone had simply assumed he bought an astronomical diamond to propose tonight, but no one had actually heard
After hanging up, Wynn exchanged a few polite words with Jorge, then turned and got into her car to leave.For the rest of the afternoon, the Lockets and the Shaws were in a state of excitement and joy.To be honest, Wynn was too. Even if she outwardly looked calm and composed.Around five in the evening, Wynn's phone buzzed. Everyone's attention instantly turned to her.After she read the message, Linda quickly asked, "Trev is coming to pick you up?""No, He just texted to ask if I need someone to pick me up," Wynn said."Oh... I see."Even though Trevor didn't personally come, neither Wynn nor the Lockets nor the Shaws thought much of it.After all, surprises were best delivered in seemingly ordinary moments.Wynn replied to the message, and at 6:00 pm, with everyone watching her expectantly, she left the house and headed to the restaurant Trevor had booked.When she arrived, she hadn't even entered the private room yet when she saw Jordyn happily pacing outside the door, c
