Celeste withdrew her gaze as Yandel and the others called her over to help answer stechnical questions.
Without giving Trevor another thought, she turned away and walked over to them.
Just as she turned, Miles noticed her.
At that moment, Wynn had walked over to Harvey, separating from Trevor.
Miles nudged Trevor in the side with his elbow and motioned in Celeste’s direction. “Over there-your wife is here
too.”
Trevor followed his gesture and looked over. He spotted Celeste.
She was holding a tablet and standing slightly to the side while explaining the technical concepts of an exhibit to
Yandel and the others.
Celeste and Yandel were deeply engaged in their discussion. They were completely unaware of Trevor's gaze..
Miles paused for a moment before commenting, “Who are those people with your wife? Is she explaining the
core technology of the exhibit to them? Is your wife actually this skilled?”

Trevor kept his gaze fixed on Celeste, neither looking away nor speaking.
At that moment, as if sensing something, Celeste glanced over.
Their eyes met across the distance.
Celeste hesitated briefly.
The distance was a little too far, making it difficult to discern the emotions in Trevor's eyes. But she noticed that
he seemed to... smile slightly.
Was he smiling at her? She was probably overthinking it.
Feeling puzzled, Celeste withdrew her gaze.
Miles noticed too and asked, “What are you smiling about?
Trevor chuckled. “Nothing.”
Miles didn’t dwell on it. He raised an eyebrow when he saw how calm Celeste looked when she noticed them-
especially when she saw Trevor.
She was as indifferent as if she were looking at a stranger.
He couldn't tell whether she was still playing hard to get or if she was simply being tactful.
If it was the latter, then considering that Trevor was unwilling to publicly acknowledge their marriage, she had
been keeping her distance from him at both the banquet and now at the expo.
She hadn't left the slightest trace of their relationship for others to notice.
He had to admit-at least in this regard-Celeste was quite perceptive.
At that moment, Wynn walked over. “What are you two talking about?”
Miles reacted quickly. He smiled. “Nothing.” Then he asked, “Are you done?”
Before Wynn could answer, someone approached with Bryson and introduced her. “Professor Leonard, this is the

Bryson was the sexpert whom Matthias had introduced to Celeste at the banquet.
That night, when Wynn had approached Matthias, Bryson had been present.
However, he had a rather unremarkable appearance, and Wynn had attended the banquet with a different

As a result, she didn’t pay attention to him at all.
Now, upon meeting him again, she naturally didn’t recognize him.
That night, Wynn and Matthias had seemed to have an unpleasant exchange, but Bryson had been engrossed in
his conversation with Celeste and hadn't paid much attention to it. Later, he hadn't inquired about it either.
Seeing Wynn now, he didn’t bring up the past. Instead, he simply smiled and extended his hand. “Hello, Ms.
Locket.”
“Hello,” Wynn responded politely.
The Locket family’s tech company was in urgent need of skilled talent. Knowing Bryson’s background, Wynn
remained respectful. Even Harvey made a point to cover and greet him.
Afterward, Wynn and Bryson began chatting.
With so many exhibits around them, there was plenty to discuss, and their conversation lasted quite a while.
Harvey and Lennox, however, didn’t understand technology at all.
