At the thought of it, Celeste's throat felt a little tight and sore. Suddenly, it seemed a little stifling in the car. Celeste withdrew her gaze and intended to lower the car window for some fresh air, but she paused just as she was about to touch the button. Eventually, she didn't press it. Instead, she turned her head sideways and looked out the window.
Time passed, and they arrived at Jordyn's school. Celeste stepped out of the car to take her to the school premises, while Trevor remained seated.
Jordyn said, "Dad..."
"Dad's busy."
"Oh..."
Celeste knew Trevor acted differently when he took Jordyn to school with Wynn. He would get out of the car with her and take Jordyn to the teacher before he left.
Today, Celeste was here with Trevor. She had no idea if he was actually busy or if he simply didn't want to be seen in public with her.
At that thought, Celeste decided she wouldn't push for it. She looked at Trevor and said, "You can leave first. I'll hail a cab to the company later."
Trevor heard what she said and turned his head sideways. He gave Celeste a sidelong glance and said, "It's okay. It's on my way to work."
However, Celeste didn't want the ride anymore. She wanted to persuade him, but she decided against it eventually. Since he didn't mind fetching her to the company, she shouldn't let it bother her too much.
In the end, Celeste said nothing. She didn't leave until she saw Jordyn entering the school with her teacher. Then, she turned around and got into the car.
Celeste and Trevor didn't say anything to each other during the drive. They were about ten minutes away from YodaVision Co. when she received some documents from Matthias.
Celeste tapped on it and went through them on her phone. She was so engrossed that she didn't even realize they had arrived at YodaVision Co.
Celeste didn't return to her senses until Trevor said, "We're here."
His car was a luxurious Bentley, and it was quite conspicuous when parked in front of the office building. Celeste noticed that many people were looking at her. Since she and Trevor wouldn't interact much in the future, she didn't intend to attract unwanted attention.
Celeste quickly grabbed her handbag and said to Trevor, "I appreciate the ride."
He glanced at her for a moment. "Okay."
Then, he faced the driver and said, "Drive."
Celeste turned around and went into the company.
Soon, noon came. Matthias made a lunch appointment with some business partners, and Celeste followed him.
When their car drove into the restaurant's parking lot, Celeste saw Trevor. He had just gotten out of his car. At the next moment, Wynn also stepped out of his car.
After Matthias parked his car, he also noticed the couple. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Just our luck."
Celeste responded, "Yeah."
Then, she noticed that Harvey, Isabelle, and the others were there too. It looked like they had been waiting for Trevor and Wynn for quite a while. Now that they saw the couple, they walked over briskly.
"Should we get out of the car?" Matthias asked Celeste. "Or should we wait until they are gone?"
"Let's go." She didn't do anything wrong. Why did she have to avoid them?
When Celeste and Matthias exited the car, Trevor and Wynn were facing their direction. So, the latter couple immediately noticed the former couple.
Trevor remained unfazed and nonchalant. He glanced at Celeste and Matthias for a moment before he turned his gaze away. Meanwhile, Wynn's gaze immediately turned cold when she saw Celeste.
Celeste guessed that Wynn probably reacted this way because of what she had said to Trevor. After all, she had asked him to stop Wynn's uncle from living across from Ivan.
Trevor was clearly doing this for Wynn, so she had promised to get it done. It wasn't a big deal for her after all.
What rubbed Wynn the wrong way was that Celeste had sought Trevor's help. The last thing she wanted was for them to interact too much.
At the thought of it, Wynn's expression turned cold as well.
That was when Harvey noticed something unusual about Wynn. He followed her gaze and looked over, only to find himself staring at Celeste. Then, he frowned.
This was the first time Isabelle had seen a sight like this. She thought about how much Trevor cared about Wynn, and the pride in her gaze grew as she looked at Celeste.
