Miles was really starting to doubt reality.

Just then, Martha came up in the elevator and said, “Dinner is ready. Cel has already gone downstairs. Why are you two still sitting here? Come down and eat.”

Miles snapped back to his senses. “Oh! Got it, coming”

Trevor also stood up.

Downstairs, Jordyn was happily sitting on the sofa, leaning against Celeste and chatting with her. Celeste just sat beside her, watching and listening attentively.

It was a warm and loving mother–daughter moment.

But when Miles remembered that Celeste had given up custody of Jordyn without a word, the scene before him suddenly felt incredibly fake.

Martha was still unaware of the divorce. She smiled and called out to Celeste and Jordyn, “Cel, Jo, come eat.”

Celeste and Jordyn responded in unison, “Okay, coming.”

Jordyn held onto Celeste’s fingers, happily leading her toward the dining room.

Miles only watched in silence. Since he was already here, he sat down beside Trevor at the dinner table. Meanwhile, Celeste sat with Jordyn.
