Celeste had just finished shutting down her laptop and tidying up when she stepped out of the master bedroom. Before she could react, Jordyn threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly. “Mom!”

Celeste only patted the top of her head without hugging her back.

Jordyn didn’t notice, too excited as she chattered away. Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps made Celeste look up, and her gaze locked onto Trevor’s.

Jordyn had spent two fun–filled days outside and was in a great mood. Though she was reluctant, she didn’t argue and obediently went to her room to have Hannah help her wash up.

Celeste turned to Trevor, who was casually leaning against the wall, occupied with his phone. “Can we talk in the
