Chapter 156

Celeste made it clear in the divorce agreement that she wouldn’t take anything

Since it didn’t involve property division or custody of Jordyn, she assumed Trevor would quickly proceed with finalizing the divorce.

However, it had been almost three months since she had handed him the agreement and left the country, and he still hadn’t responded.

Trevor responded before Celeste could, “Come in.”

With all the people coming and going just now, the door was left ajar.

Upon hearing Trevor’s voice, Tucker entered the room. “Hi Trev.”

“Hello, Tucker.”

Tucker’s gaze settled on Celeste. They hadn’t spent much time together, and though Celeste knew he was concerned, he wasn’t sure what to say. So, she spoke first. “I’m feeling much better now.”
