Since that was the case, Jordyn would most likely be spending the Ember Festival at Fleming Manor,
Betty felt reluctant to part with Jordyn and also felt sorry for Celeste. However, Celeste remained calm and reassured Betty, saying, “Gramy, I’m fine. As long as Jo is happy.”
Betty, however, felt that she was just putting on a brave face so as not to make her worry. She sighed silently and didn’t bring it up again.
After breakfast, Celeste and Adeline went out to buy some goods for the festival.
The shopping streets outside were decorated beautifully, in familiar festival songs were played everywhere, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
In fact, Adeline and the others had already done a round of shopping.
Most of the necessities were already prepared at home, so today was just about filling in the things they had⚫ missed
Children could already be seen on the streets dressed in festive cotton outfits, carrying adorable light wands in their hands.
Celeste stopped in her tracks as she watched a little girl bouncing along the street.
Every year before Jordyn left with Trevor, she would buy her two or three sets of these cotton outfits for the festival.
Jordyn loved them. She also loved the little light wands.
For several days during the holidays, the light wands were her favorite toys. At night, she would light a candle Inside and carry the light wand around, playing with it for hours without getting bored.
But that was two years ago.
In the two years since Jordyn left, one year was spent celebrating abroad with Trevor.
Last year, she came back. But she no longer liked these festive things.
She found them tacky and refused to wear them.
But, Celeste never forced her.
She picked out other things for her instead, but Jordyn didn’t like those either.
At first, she thought she simply couldn’t keep up with Jordyn’s tastes. Later, she realized that Jordyn just didn’t want to wear anything she bought.
Celeste slowly withdrew her gaze and thoughts, catching up with Betty and Adeline.
When Hector and Jamie heard that Celeste, Adeline, and Betty were out shopping, they secretly contacted Celeste, asking her to buy more fireworks so they could set them off in the garden later that night.
Celeste smiled at the message and replied, “Okay.”
In all the years she had been married to Trevor, he was not only rarely in Baumond, but even during holidays, h was often flying around the world
Even so, after marrying him, whether he was around or not, she always took Jordyn back to the Fleming Manor for the Ember Festival.

Thinking about it now, it had been seven years since she last spent the Ember Festival with the Rodriguez family. Putting away her phone with a smile, she was just about to buy the fireworks when her phone suddenly rang
It was a call from Matthias.
He told her he had bought a lot of expensive fireworks and would be sending some over to her,
Celeste didn’t stand on ceremony and said, “Thank you, Mathias.”
From the way Matthias spoke, it seemed like he was sending quite a lot, so she figured there was no need to buy more herself.
Not long after, her phone rang again.
This time, it was Beck calling.
Celeste paused before answering, “Mr. Harper.”
“I ordered a small batch of fireworks some time ago. Shanice told me to send some to you. Send me the address, and I’ll have someone deliver them to you.”
Celeste was momentarily stunned and instinctively refused, “Mr. Harper, there’s no need-”
“Then why don’t you call Shanice yourself and tell her that?”
She fell silent for two seconds before saying, “Please thank Shanice for me.”
