Chapter 86
Tears welled up in Celeste’s eyes, and her mind momentarily went blank. But she quickly snapped back to reality
and hurriedly said, “Thank you. Then what-
Before she could finish asking what the conditions were, Trevor moved his cigarette away and reached out to
wipe away a tear that had slipped down her cheek. “Get srest”
Celeste froze, watching his retreating figure, momentarily forgetting how to react. When she gathered her
thoughts, she was unsure what to do next.
When Trevor told her to rest early, did that mean he expected her to stay the night?
Though she had moved out, they hadn't officially divorced, Staying over for one night wouldn’t be a big deal.
As for sleeping in the master bedroom... she'd better not.
Calming herself, she picked up her belongings, along with a change of clothes and stoiletries, and went to
Jordyn’s room instead.
That night, she stayed in Jordyn’s room.

The next morning, Celeste woke up before seven.
Shortly after, Jordyn also woke up. She clung to Celeste’s neck, acting spoiled. “Mom, can you taketo school
today?”
Celeste agreed to her request.
After freshening up, they went downstairs for breakfast.
A little while later, Trevor entered the dining room and sat across from them.
Jordyn greeted him cheerfully, “Good morning, Dad!”
“Morning,” Trevor responded, glancing briefly at Celeste but saying nothing. After sitting down, he silently
started eating his breakfast.
Celeste also remained quiet. Even though Trevor had agreed to help her, that didn’t mean anything had changed
between them.
Their relationship remained the sas always-distant.
After breakfast, Celeste dropped Jordyn off at school and headed to work.
Since attending the tech expo, she and Matthias had developed many new ideas. However, they had been too
busy with the InnovaTech partnership to explore them in detail,
Now that they finally had the time, they began solidifying their plans and pushing things forward.
As a result, the workload was heavy today.
Celeste had planned to order takeout and work late into the night. But her phone rang around 6:00 pm while she
was still buried in work too busy to place a dinner order.
It was Trevor
She glanced at the screen, then excused herself from the meeting room to take the call. “Hello?”
“Grandma's here,” Trevor said. “Chearly.”

Celeste was taken aback. Before she could respond, Trevor had already hung up.
After regaining her composure, she returned to the meeting room and informed Matthias, “Something's cup
-1 need to leave early. Senda summary of the meeting's progress and any issues that arise. I'll review them
later.”
That way, she wouldn’t hold back the team’s progress.

Matthias nudged her. “Got it. Now go.”
Half an hour later, Celeste drove back to the villa.
Trevor's usual car was already parked outside. He was home.
She stepped inside and, sure enough, saw Trevor sitting on the couch with Martha and Jordyn, chatting
He was the first to notice her arrival, but he didn’t say anything.
Martha, however, stood up with a smile. “Cel, you're back?”
“Yes,” Celeste replied.
Martha patted her hand warmly. “You must be hungry. Dinner is almost ready. Let's eat first.” “Alright”
This time, without needing Martha’s prompting, Trevor sat down next to Celeste.

Martha kept placing food on Celeste’s plate as they ate, sighing “You've lost weight again. You really don’t know
how to take care of yourself.”
