Chapter 74
20 minutes later, Trevor came back with Jordyn.
Martha’s gaze went past Trevor and fixated on Jordyn. Grinning, she waved at Jordyn. “You’re back, Jo!”
“Hi, Nana.” Jordyn ran toward Martha. After Martha had hugged and ruffled her hair, Jordyn finally walked over to Celeste. “Hi, Mom”
Celeste hummed a reply. When she was hugging Jordyn, she noticed the faint scent of Wynn’s perfume on Jordyn’s clothes.
She didn’t mention anything about it. Instead, she only lightly pushed Jordyn away.
Trevor sat beside Martha and placed a box before her. “This is a token of apology.”
It was a pack of Coffea Arábica that Martha liked a lot. Besides, it was rare on the market, and hard to get even for a high price.
Martha knew that Trevor was apologizing for not showing up at the hot spring retreat previously.
She let out a huff. “You’ve got me covered, but what about Cel? Did you get her anything as an apology?”
Trevor remained silent while glancing at Celeste.
It was just a quick look. It held no deeper emotions.
Martha meant to speak up for her, letting Trevor care about her more.
To Celeste, however, there was no need for that anymore.
She didn’t look at Trevor. “Grandma, the food’s getting cold Let’s dig in,” she said with a smile.
Martha thought Celeste changed the topic to defend Trevor
After all, when Martha reprimanded Trevor for neglecting Celeste back then, Celeste would always find a way to
justify Trevor’s actions.
Martha let out a sigh. “You’re always on his side.”
With a smile on her face, Celeste remained silent.
Trevor’s face was just as aloof. His expression didn’t budge despite Celeste speaking for him.
But the time was getting on, and they should really start eating.
Marth stood up and held Jordyn’s hand in hers. “It’s been a while since you dined with me, Jo. Do you want to sit beside me later?”
Jordyn nodded obediently. “Okay.”
“What a good girl.” Martha gave Trevor a glance as she spoke, signaling to him.
Celeste knew that Martha was trying to set her up with Trevor again.
She didn’t bother to see Trevor’s reaction. She only followed Martha to the dining room.
As she sat down across from Martha and Jordyn, she caught glimpse of Trevor pulling out the chair beside her and sitting down
Finally, Martha grinned in satisfaction. When all the dishes were served, she spoke to Trevor. “Pass Cel the dishes.

Celeste didn’t look at Trevor. “It’s okay, Grandma. I can…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Trevor placed the mashed potato that she liked before her.
Celeste paused for a moment. “Thank you.”
Trevor was silent.
Usually, when Martha asked Trevor to pass the dishes to Celeste, she meant for Trevor to take care of Celeste’s needs when they were eating
Thus, when Celeste reached out for a dish, Trevor would immediately pass her the dish she wanted. He remembered what she liked or disliked as well.
But that didn’t mean much to Celeste.
After all, this had happened several times over the years, Given Trevor’s memory, he would remember them even without effort.
After they finished their meal, Trevor chatted with Martha.
Celeste, too, was listening to their conversation on the side. She never initiated a conversation with Trevor, and she rarely made eye contact with him.
Martha sighed. She noticed the lack of communication between Celeste and Trevor despite being married for so long.
Martha got tired at around 9:00 pm. Hence, she waved and gestured for them to get some rest upstairs too.
