LOGINNot wanting to dampen everyone's mood, Martha quickly changed the subject.The Rodriguez family cooperated and followed along.After that, the outing went on quite pleasantly.But on the way home after dinner, Betty fell silent. After a long while, she suddenly asked Celeste, "What happened to them?"Celeste didn't tell them anything before, so the rest of the family didn't know the exact situation between Trevor and Wynn.But they were aware that Wynn had saved Trevor not long ago, and that soon after, he had gone with Celeste to file for divorce again.Betty had known Martha for many years. So, seeing how upset she had been today, she could tell something major must have happened, and it angered her deeply.Celeste paused before realizing what she meant. Then she said, "I heard Lincoln and Queenie had given their blessings. Trevor's already brought her to meet them."Ivan and the others had already guessed that Trevor must have done something to upset Martha. But they didn't
Just as Celeste was wrapping up her discussion with Matthias, Trevor called Jordyn.She picked up happily. "Dad!"After chatting with him for a bit, she turned and saw that Celeste had finished her call. "Mom, do you want to talk to Dad for a moment?""No need." Celeste stood up and picked up her glass."I'll go downstairs to get some water. You carry on.""Okay."…When Celeste went downstairs, the rest of the Rodriguez family were chatting cheerfully in the living room.Seeing her, Jamie quickly asked, "Celeste, we were discussing an outing tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"Celeste happened to be free, so she said, "Sure.""Then… What about Jo?"They knew Jordyn had already made plans to go out with Trevor. But since this outing had just been decided, it didn't feel right not to tell her."I'll tell her.""Alright."Celeste sat down in the living room and joined them in planning the route and choosing a place to eat for the next day.When she went back upstairs,
After 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
Celeste dozed off for a few minutes in the car. She couldn't rest well. As she opened her eyes and noticed Beck pulling his hand back, she didn't dwell on it and simply asked, "Are we there yet?""Almost."Two minutes later, their car pulled up in front of the hospital. Beck got out of the car wit
Matthias said, "Hurry up and finalize the divorce."Celeste replied, "I know."During lunch, Albert came over and informed them that Wynn was fine—Trevor had already taken her home to rest.Celeste still hadn't finished the herbal medicine that Bill had prepared for her. That evening, after leavi
Trevor didn't look at Celeste. He gently rubbed Jordyn's nose. "I'm busy, Jo. Be a good girl and listen to Mom, okay?""Okay," Jordyn replied nonchalantly. She cast Celeste a look and walked to her. Then, she extended her hand, signaling Celeste to grasp it. This was basically her initiating the
Worried that they might get bumped into by other people, Beck stayed close to them so he could protect them.However, the crowd was just too large today.They had only been skiing for a little over an hour when two girls accidentally bumped into them.Shanice was fine, but Celeste ended up crashi
