Chapter 49

Trevor didn’t show up for a long time, which made Martha angry and Jordyn unhappy.

Celeste, however, remained calm as if nothing had happened. She peacefully made tea for Martha and said, ” Maybe something urgent came up, and he couldn’t get away.”

Martha was in a bad mood and went to bed early that night

Jordyn called Trevor several times, but no one answered.

The next morning, when Celeste woke up, there was no one beside her. Jordyn had disappeared somewhere.

After washing up, Celeste left her room and looked around, but she couldn’t find her.

When she asked, she found out that since Trevor hadn’t come, Jordyn had found the place boring and asked someone to take her down the mountain early in the morning to play.

Meanwhile, Martha had caught a cold from the night breeze and had a severe headache in the middle of the night. She had already returned to Fleming Manor before Celeste woke up.

Since she didn’t want to disturb Celeste’s rest, she hadn’t informed her right away.

For now, besides the staff, Celeste was the only one left in the large hot spring retreat.

Actually, even if Jordyn had found the place boring, she could have waited for Celeste to wake up and asked her to take her out.

By leaving so quietly without a word, Celeste figured it wasn’t because Jordyn was afraid of waking her up.

It was more likely she had received news about Trevor and had gone to meet him and Wynn.
