After the people from Youtopia recognized Betty, they noticed that the Lockets and the Shaws didn’t say anything about her presence.
It became clear to them that the Locket family didn’t want the past between the Rodriguez and the Locket families to be widely discussed.
Seeing this, even though some people recognized Betty, none of them stepped forward to greet her.
Instead, some shifted their attention to Wynn and Calvin.
One guest even smiled and said to Erin right in front of Celeste and Betty, “Madam Locket, your grandchildren are so outstanding–in both looks and demeanor. You are truly blessed.”
Indeed, Wynn and Calvin were the pride of both Erin and the entire Locket family.
Erin didn’t spare Celeste another glance.
Upon hearing the compliment, she looked lovingly at Calvin and Wynn and smiled, “You’re exaggerating.”
Whatever she said next, Celeste didn’t hear. She and her family had already moved past the crowd and walked
away.
As for Trevor, after the initial moment she saw him, she hadn’t looked at him again.
Jorge and Miles didn’t expect to see Celeste here either, and certainly not to witness the awkward moment where she was mistaken for Wynn.
They silently watched her leave.
At that moment, Beck’s secretary arrived with a gift box and handed it to Erin.
When they found out that Beck couldn’t attend the birthday banquet in person, both the Lockets and the Shaws were rather disappointed.
The Shaw family, in particular, was more disappointed than the Locket family–and also anxious.
After all, Linda had caused a mess some time ago, and both Ruby and Patricia were desperately hoping that a marriage between Linda and Beck could turn things around.
But now, Beck hadn’t come in person.
Miles was genuinely surprised to hear that Beck wasn’t attending. He hadn’t heard of Beck having any special plans for today.
Even Wynn didn’t expect Beck to miss such an important event.
She frowned unconsciously. 1
Trevor, on the other hand, showed no reaction. 2
Meanwhile, Celeste and her family arrived at the wedding banquet hall. After sitting for a short while, her phone
rang.
It was a call from Jordyn.
Celeste didn’t plan to answer, but with Betty sitting beside her–who saw the name on the screen and, thinking

about how Trevor and Wynn had appeared at Erin’s birthday banquet while Jordyn was nowhere to be seen–she guessed that Trevor had left Jordyn at home.
Feeling sorry for the girl, Betty urged Celeste to pick up the call.
Celeste had also thought of what Betty had guessed.
Not wanting to ignore Jordyn’s call in front of Betty, she go up and found a quieter spot to answer.
Jordyn was thrilled Celeste had actually picked up.
She quickly said, “Mom, this Sunday is Mother’s Day! I got you a present! Can I come see you on Sunday?” 1
Mother’s Day… It really was a special occasion.
Celeste paused for a few seconds before gently replying, “Okay.” Then she asked, “Are you home alone right now?

Jordyn responded cheerfully, “Yeah! Dad hasn’t come back yet.”
Celeste didn’t say anything in reply.
Technically speaking, Jordyn was Erin’s great–granddaughter.
Wynn claimed to love Jordyn dearly, yet didn’t even think of bringing her along to Erin’s birthday celebration.
Was that what genuine care and love looked like? (1)
It was such a simple truth; did Trevor really not see it?
Then again, given his feelings for Wynn, even a flimsy excuse from her would probably be enough to make him believe her without question.
