Chapter 276
Celeste instinctively reached out, steadying Jordyn to keep her from falling
But the moment Jordyn crashed into her arms, Wynn’s perfume drifted into her nose once again.
Celeste took the girl’s backpack and set it aside on the couch. Just as Jordyn was about to run toward the bed, Celeste gently pulled her back. “Did you shower?”
“I did.”
And yet, Wynn’s scent still lingered on her. That could only mean one thing–Wynn had either been living with Trevor, or the two of them had just dropped her off together.
They just hadn’t bothered to come inside.
“You’re all sweaty,
change into something clean,” Celeste said flatly.
Jordyn recalled that after her shower, she had been running around and probably worked up a little sweat.
Hence, she nodded obediently and went into the bathroom to change.
Celeste, on the other hand, continued to organize her research materials.
As soon as Jordyn finished changing, she came out of the bathroom. Then, she took out a bunny–shaped light wand from her backpack. “Mom, look! It’s a light wand.”
Celeste glanced at it, then paused for a quick moment. “This…”
“Dad bought it for me! Isn’t it cute?”
Celeste nodded.
Jordyn then ran over, turned off the lights in Celeste’s room and switched on the light wand. With excitement written all over her face, she asked, “Isn’t it prettier when the lights are off?”
“Yeah, it is.”
She added, “Do you like it a lot?”
“Yes, I love it!” With that, Jordyn took out another light wand from her backpack. “Dad bought me two, and this one’s for you! Mom, will you take a stroll with me downstairs with the light wand?”
“I already took a shower, Jo. Let’s wait until tomorrow. And you’ve changed your clothes too; we don’t want to get them dirty.“”
Jordyn’s enthusiasm seemed to fade a bit, her excitement cooling off. “Oh…”
She remembered it had been over a month since she’d last seen Celeste.
Noticing that Celeste didn’t seem particularly interested in the light wand, Jordyn stopped showing it to her and put it away. Then, she ran over to hug her. “Mom..”
Celeste put away her book. “What’s wrong?”
Jordyn didn’t say anything. She kicked off her shoes and snuggled into her embrace.
“I missed you so much, Mom.”
With that, she wrapped her arms around Celeste’s neck, planting a few kisses on her cheek

“Mom, you smell so nice,” she said gleefully.
Celeste tightened her arms around Jordyn. Seconds later, she caressed her face quietly.
She could tell that Jordyn’s face changed slightly, showing hint of maturity.
It seemed she was beginning to look more like Trevor.
Celeste lowered her gaze and saw that Jordyn wasn’t wearing any socks. She gently placed her on the bed and covered her feet with the blanket. “How long are you staying here this time?”
Jordyn shook her head. “I don’t know. Dad didn’t say anything about it. He just asked me to wait for him here,” she answered.
Celeste nodded slightly, saying nothing.
Just then, Jordyn remembered something. She hopped off the bed to rummage through her backpack. “Mom, I bought a souvenir for you when I went abroad.”
She found the crystal ball she had bought for Celeste and eagerly handed it to her.
After getting close to Wynn, it had been a long while since Jordyn prepared any gifts for Celeste.
Celeste took the gift with composure. “Thank you. I like it a lot.”
