Chapter 70
Celeste agreed to it.
Jordyn then asked Celeste to send her to school tomorrow.
Celeste promised she would too.
She hadn’t seen Jordyn for almost ten days since visiting the hot spring retreat.
Thus, she stayed at the villa that night.
But she didn’t sleep in the master bedroom.
Instead, she wanted to stay in the same room as Jordyn.
The last time Celeste stayed with Jordyn was when Jordyn was sick.
However, Jordyn wasn’t sick this time, and she didn’t even ask Celeste to stay with her to sleep.
Jordyn noticed Celeste was showering in her bathroom. The latter seemed like she wanted to stay here for the night. Jordyn found it odd that Celeste chose not to sleep in the room she shared with Trevor.
She actually liked sleeping with Celeste as it felt cozy and warm to cuddle up with her.
So, Jordyn didn’t voice her question.
Since Celeste was staying with her for the night, Jordyn had to be more careful when she said goodnight to Wynn. She didn’t want Celeste to find out. It’d cause trouble.
It was around 11:00 p
pm when Celeste went to bed that night
Trevor still hadn’t come back.
She only realized that Trevor was out all night the next morning.
Celeste recalled the last time she saw Trevor–yesterday at the elevator. Trevor was leaving with Wynn then.
If that was the case, Trevor had probably spent the night with Wynn…
Celeste emerged from her thoughts. After sending Jordyn to school, she went to work at YodaVision Co.
Jordyn’s affection was obviously still directed at Wynn instead of Celeste. Her need for Celeste was sporadic.
If Jordyn hadn’t seen Celeste for a while, or if Trevor and the others weren’t around, she’d get bored and think of
her then
She wouldn’t need Celeste otherwise.
Just like these few days, after learning, Celeste’s injury had fully recovered, Jordyn wouldn’t call her every day like how she did before. She wouldn’t even ask why Celeste wasn’t coming home at night.
Trevor, on the other hand, never cared about her whereabouts.
YodaVision Co. had recently sealed two big deals and received some sizable payments. Thus, on Friday, the company decided to organize a luge team–building event.
The employees were the ones who decided where the team building event took place.
At last, everyone agreed on a hot springs trip.

Chapter 70
Celeste was a little surprised when she received the news. Then, she smiled bitterly.
Matthias asked, “Why the long face? Don’t you want to go to the hot spring?”
“It’s not that.”
Celeste remembered how Trevor and Jordyn left her all alone at the hot spring retreat two weeks ago.
She felt like it only happened yesterday.
But in fact, the incident was a fortnight ago.
Time really did fly.
Although Celeste didn’t feel like going to the hot spring, she still decided to join the trip. After all, it was the first team–building event after she returned to the company.
The hot spring retreat she went to last time was a private place owned by the Fleming family.
However, the destination for the company’s team–building event was a hot spring resort. It was a huge resort with all kinds of amenities.
After changing into a bathrobe, she walked to the hot spring pool.
Celeste didn’t see her colleagues there when she arrived at the pool. She had barely soaked for a minute in the pool when she saw a little girl, about the same age as Jordyn squatting by the pool. The little girl was stretching out her hand curiously toward the pool.
The pool depth was around 4 feet.
And the little girl didn’t appear to be taller than 4 feet
Celeste was worried that she might fall into the pool. As she stood up, she heard a splash…
THE I
little girl really fell into the pool.
Celeste quickly walked over to her to pull her up. Then, she held the little girl in her arms.
The little girl wrapped her arms around Celeste’s neck. She was crying and coughing as her face turned red. Celeste patted her back lightly as she comforted her. She inquired about the little girl’s family details while bringing her to the staff.
As soon as she arrived at the gate, she spotted Beck in the distance.
Before Celeste could react, the little girl in her arms started crying again, stretching her hands toward Beck. Uncle Beck…”
