Chapter 35

Noticing Trevor’s gaze directed toward the bathroom, Jordyn remarked, “Mom’s in there taking a shower.”

Trevor replied, “Hmm. Did you ask your mom to shower here?” 1

“No, Mom brought the clothes herself.”

Trevor did not ask any further questions. After exchanging few brief words, he advised her to go to bed early before walking away.

Celeste heard some noises outside while in the bathroom, realizing Trevor had arrived, but she couldn’t hear their conversation. Jordyn was still unwell and easily fell asleep after taking medicine. As it was getting late, Celeste lay down on the bed with her after the shower.

Jordyn snuggled into Celeste’s embrace, burying her face in her shoulder. “Mom, you smell amazing and feel so soft.”

She found Celeste’s hugs to be the most comforting, even more so than Wynn’s embrace. Yet, aware of Celeste’s disdain for Wynn, she chose to keep her feelings to herself.

Jordyn quickly fell asleep, followed by Celeste, who was also tired.
