Martha was still awake when Trevor and Celeste arrived home. Once she was sure that the couple came back in the same car, she finally felt assured and went back to her room.
After Celeste got upstairs, she called Ivan and gave him the update. When she was done with the phone call, Matthias‘ call came in.
Half an hour later, Celeste ended the call and returned to her room. Trevor was already done taking a bath and was leaning against the headboard with a book in his hand.
Trevor turned his gaze from his book when he noticed her. After a brief moment, he turned his focus back to his book
Celeste also turned her gaze away. She took a bath and applied the conditioner. It was very late by the time she was done with all this. Then, she glanced at Trevor again.
In the past, Celeste might’ve gotten used to it when Trevor treated her coldly. She wouldn’t feel uneasy when she spent some private moments with him.
Now that Travor helped Celeste out, it brought them slightly closer. That disoriented her a little and made her unsure of how she should treat him..
With that said, there would be no substantial changes to their relationship, no matter what happened.
At the thought of it, Celeste climbed onto the bed quietly and prepared to go to sleep. She had just laid on the bed. when Trevor put down the book and turned off the lights.
It was as if Trevor was merely reading to kill time as he waited for her to sleep so that he could turn the lights off for her.
Celeste was stunned. She believed she was overthinking it, so she calmed down again and fell asleep shortly after.
The next day, Martha wanted Trevor to give Celeste a ride to work again.
Celeste turned down the offer once more. “I have to meet with a client today, Grandma. It will be inconvenient for me if I don’t have a car.”
Martha frowned and looked at Trevor. She was signaling for him to personally offer to drive Celeste to her company.
Alas, T
Trevor merely had his breakfast quietly, knowingly ignoring Martha’s signals.
Celeste noticed it and instantly lowered her head.
Martha realized Trevor didn’t want to do it, so she dropped the matter.
Of course, Celeste wasn’t meeting any clients today. She merely said it because she didn’t want to take Trevor’s car again. For that matter, she didn’t want to owe him any more favors either.
Actually, Celeste didn’t really have anything to do today. So, she stayed and worked in YodaVision Co. all the way to over 9:00 pm before she drove herself home.
To her surprise, Trevor was already home by the time Celeste returned. After all, he usually came home very late unless there was some special event or something
Trevor wasn’t in the bedroom. Celeste turned on the light and put her handbag aside. She was about to check on

Jordyn in her room when she noticed a document on her makeup table.
Celeste was stunned.
She and Trevor might have shared the same bedroom, but the area to the left side of the bed belonged to him. She would usually avoid it.
The area to the right side of the bed was Celeste’s personal space, so under normal circumstances, he would not
step foot in it.
Their personal items, such as wallets, watches, and skincare products, were all in their rightful places as well. They would never put this stuff everywhere in the room.
That was why it was impossible for the document to be misplaced.
At the thought of it, Celeste walked over. She came to realize that it was a deed. She had a good idea about what it was and hurriedly opened it up.
As expected, it was the deed for the villa across the road from Ivan’s place. She was its sole owner as well.
Before Celeste could react, Trevor returned to the bedroom: She heard footsteps and turned around to look at him. Then, she said solemnly, “I’ve read the deed. Thank you.”
Trevor didn’t even have the time to respond when Celeste continued, “I don’t have this much money right now. Give me some time, and I will.”
