Jordyn ran over excitedly. “Wow, so much delicious food! And milkshakes too!”
“Mm.” Trevor said, “I knew you were coming, so I had some things prepared.”
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Celeste. Seeing that she ignored him, he shifted his focus to Hector and Jamie, nodding at them before standing up and saying, “Sit.”
Trevor carried an imposing presence,
So, after greeting Martha, Jamie and Hector instinctively followed his words, sitting down with Jordyn and sharing the food that she and Trevor passed to them.
Once the children started eating, Trevor handed Celeste a serving. “Try it?”
Noticing that Martha was watching, Celeste accepted it and said, “Thank you.”
She took a sip and realized it was strawberry–flavored–exactly to her taste.
Hearing that they were going skiing, Martha turned to Trevor and said, “Trevor, you should go with Cel and the kids.”
She continued, “Skiing is a dangerous activity. It’ll be too much for Cel to watch over three children alone. Go help her. I have Peter and Samantha here, so you don’t need to stay with me all the time.”
Celeste was about to speak, but before she could, Trevor said, “Got it.”
Jordyn was thrilled to hear that Trevor would be joining them.
After spending some more time in the hospital room, Celeste and the others prepared to leave.
Trevor gathered his documents before leaving with them.
They took two cars. Jordyn, Jamie, and Hector rode in Celeste’s car.
At the ski resort, Trevor helped Jordyn adjust her clothes and goggles when his phone rang. So, he stepped away to take the call and, after a brief exchange, said, “I’ll come by later.”
Jordyn asked, “Dad, who was that?”
Trevor didn’t answer her directly. Instead, he asked, “Do you want to have lunch with Dad, or do you want to eat with Mom?”
Jordyn was taken aback. “Huh? Aren’t we all eating together?”
Trevor replied, “No, Dad has something to take care of.”
Celeste and the others overheard the conversation but didn’t comment.
Trevor patted Jordyn’s head and said, “No rush. Ski first–you can decide later.”
“Okay!”
While the three children were chatting nearby, Celeste put on her goggles and looked at Trevor. “The divorce still isn’t finalized?”
Trevor replied, “Not yet.”
He paused for a moment before saying, “If you need money urgently, I can have someone transfer a portion to

your account first.”
That wasn’t what Celeste had been referring to. But before she could respond, Jordyn called out to her. “Mom, come over here!”
Celeste let the topic drop and was about to walk over when her phone rang. It was a call from Ivan.
He said, “Someone from Fleming Group just contacted me. They want to discuss a potential collaboration!”
Fleming Group was currently under Trevor’s control. With years of business experience, Ivan knew Trevor wouldn’t offer help for no reason.
He was calling Celeste to understand why Trevor was doing this and to rationally discuss whether there were any hidden traps in the deal–whether he should accept it or not
Celeste didn’t respond to him immediately.
After hanging up, she turned to look at Trevor.
