Chapter 247

Celeste placed the cake box into the fridge.

Just as Jordyn finished her bath, her phone rang.

It was Trevor who called.

She answered the call. “Dad?”

“I just received a message from your grandpa, and he’s coming back in the afternoon tomorrow. I’ll send someone to pick you up after school, and we’ll have dinner at home. Go tell your mom about this.”

Now, with her still in the hospital, Lincoln arranged for two days off so he could return and spend New Year’s Day with her.

Upon hearing what Trevor had just said, Jordyn replied, “Okay, got it.”

After speaking, she suddenly remembered that Trevor had said “pick you up” on the phone–not “pick you both up“.

That meant Celeste wasn’t part of the plan.
