Chapter 405
Celeste said, “I have to go to work now. Your granny isn’t feeling well these days and needs rest. Once she’s feeling better, you can go visit her.”
Although Betty had never truly blamed Jordyn for being close to Wynn, ever since learning that Isabelle’s health had also started deteriorating, it felt like half her spirit had been drained.
If she were to see Jordyn now and be reminded of how close she had gotten to Wynn, it would probably only worsen her mood.
When Jordyn heard that Betty was sick, she looked genninely concerned. “Huh? Granny is sick? Is it serious? Mom, why didn’t you tell me?”
Celeste paused for two seconds before replying, “I didn’t want you to worry, that’s why I didn’t tell you.”
She then gently pried off Jordyn’s hands, which were wrapped around her. “It’s getting late. I have other things to take care of. You need to take good care of yourself.”
Jordyn didn’t want her to go, but seeing how busy Celeste seemed, she reluctantly let go. But as soon as she did, she felt upset again
“Mom, why are you so busy all the time now? You’re even busier than Dad. When will you have time for me?”
“I’m not sure either.”
As she said that, Celeste remembered that the divorce was about to be finalized. She thought it was time to stop hiding it from Jordyn. However… (1
If Trevor intended to marry Wynn after the divorce, he’d surely find a way to tell Jordyn himself.
So there was no need for her to bring it
up directly.
Jordyn looked down sadly. “…Alright. Mom, you always say that lately.”
Celeste knew that too. It was the best excuse she could give.
With that, she said again, “I’m leaving now.”
“Okay.”
Just as Celeste gave Jordyn one last look and
about to turn to leave, she saw Wynn walking out from the restroom area.
Jordyn and Trevor were standing in the lobby–clearly waiting for someone.
And obviously, that someone was Wynn.
Wynn didn’t seem to expect to run into Celeste either. When she saw her, she paused and gave her a cold glance.
Expressionless, Celeste looked away without saying a word and turned to leave.
Jordyn didn’t notice Wynn coming out of the restroom. Seeing that Celeste was leaving, she clung to her mother’s hand again, looking up at her with big, pitiful eyes full of reluctance.
Celeste could feel how much she didn’t want to let go, but she still gently pulled her hand away. “Goodbye.”
Seeing that Celeste was determined to leave, Jordyn finally withdrew her hand and wilted a little. “Mm, goodbye, Mom.”
Standing at the side, Trevor watched how reluctant Jordyn was to let Celeste go, but he didn’t try to stop her from leaving.
So, Celeste left.

Jordyn watched her mother’s retreating figure, unwilling to look away.
Only after Celeste had disappeared into the distance did Wynn finally walk over and ruffle Jordyn’s hair.

Then she turned to Trevor, who hadn’t said much the whole time
Trevor said, “Alright.”
It was then that Jordyn looked away and said listlessly to Trevor,
Trevor replied, “Alright, then we’ll eat at home.”
With that, the three of them left the hospital together.
