Chapter 334
Then, Celeste called Beck back to ask if there was anything mportant when he had called two days ago.
“It’s just that Shanice wanted to video chat,” he explained. No big deal.”
They both had to head to work, so they kept It short.
After hanging up the call, Celeste grabbed her car keys and drove to the office.
Coincidentally, she and Matthias arrived at the parking lot at the same time.
As they got out of their cars, Matthias greeted her with a smile, “Back already?”
Celeste beamed. “Yeah.”
Just then, Trevor’s car entered the lot, and Wynn was seated beside him.
Instead of pulling into a space, he stopped the car right in front of them.
Then, Trevor and Wynn stepped out, looking at Matthias and Celeste.
“Good morning, Mr. Yoder, they greeted.
-Matthias’s face fell
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Ignoring Trevor and Wynn completely, he tugged Celeste forward without a word.
Trevor and Wynn didn’t seem to mind.
As the two had left, Trevor passed his car keys to Wynn, opened the car door for her, and said softly, “Be careful on the road.”
Wynn’s lips curled in a smile as she watched him–and then flicked her gaze toward Celeste’s figure in the distance. “I will.”
Inside the building, Matthias glanced over his shoulder toward the entrance while waiting for the elevator.
There was no sign of Trevor.
Was he still busy playing the doting boyfriend out there?
As the elevator door closed, Matthias muttered, “They’re showing up in the same car this early… Are they living together now?”
Celeste wasn’t sure about that.
Even if they weren’t, the fact that they had arrived together meant Trevor had gone to pick Wynn up himself first thing
elf and he
Trevor had a personal driver, yet when it came to Wynn, he always insisted on doing everything himself, never seemed to find it a hassle.
Their relationship seemed as rock–solid as ever.
Shanice’s birthday was in two days.
That night, after work, Celeste went to the mall and picked out a pink bunny plushie.
Chapter 334
She got into the elevator, arms full of pink fluff–only to run Into Wynn and Erin on their way up.
Wynn noticed the plush bunny, assuming it was a gift for Jordyn.
Her lips curled with faint amusement.
Ever since getting close to Wynn, Jordyn had completely los interest in those girlish toys.
And Celeste was still trying to win her over with a pink stuffed animal? Was she really that behind or just pathetically out of touch?
Wynn looked away, disinterested.
Erin barely acknowledged Celeste–just a glance before she turned her attention back to her granddaughter.
She gave Wynn’s arm a gentle pat, her face soft with pride,
Erin’s attitude made one thing clear–Wynn was the only granddaughter she acknowledged now.
Celeste didn’t take it to heart.
She made her way to the parking lot and drove off.
The next morning, just after Celeste had woken up, Zachary called
She listened, then said, “Okay, I understand.”
Immediately after, she called Beck.
“I’ve got something urgent tomorrow morning, so I won’t be able to make it for Shanice’s birthday. But I’ll prep the cake ahead of time. Can you swing by my place and deliver it along with her gift? And let her know I’m really sorry, okay?”
