At that moment, the door to another elevator slid open, and out cMiles. Celeste was surprised to see him.
She didn’t expect him to be here at the hot spring retreat.
However, Martha and Trevor weren't surprised at all. Obviously, they knew about Miles’ presence.
Miles saw Celeste and raised an eyebrow. Then, he swiftly turned to Martha and asked enthusiastically, “Are you
leaving already, Mrs. Fleming Senior? Aren't you going to have lunch before you go?”
The Fleming family and the Quinton family shared a close bond, so Martha had known Miles since he was a little
boy. She flashed him a loving smile and said, “I won't be joining you guys. Go ahead and have fun.”

of unease or concern. It was as if she didn’t care about it at all.
Jordyn was still standing there, so Miles couldn't speak plainly. He watched Celeste’s retreating figure and leaned
in closer to Trevor. He whispered, “What's the matter?”
Trevor remained unfazed and asked, “Did you chere alone?”
“Hell, no. This is the hot spring we're talking about here. Lone-wolfing this would've been no fun. Of course, |
brought my hot babe along..."
