Chapter 557

Around dinnertime, when the Lockets and the Shaws saw Wynn.

getting ready to head out, they finally realized that Trevor had

already returned from abroad.

When they heard he'd come back that very afternoon, Ruby

couldn't help stomping her foot in frustration.

"What? He came back this afternoon? If only he'd returned half a

day earlier! The decision period's already over—"

Linda quickly echoed, "Exactly!"

In truth, it wasn't just them. Even Lilian and the others felt it was

such a pity.

Two days ago, when Wynn told them that Trevor probably

wouldn't make it back before the end of the decision period to

finalize the divorce with Celeste, they still held onto a sliver of

hope.

They believed that maybe, for Wynn's sake, he'd come back

early and surprise her by ending things with Celeste. =

But as it turned out, Trevor really didn't make it back before the

decision period expired.

That was why, when they learned he had returned that very

----

afternoon, they felt so regretful.

If he had come back just half a day earlier, he and Celeste would

already be divorced by now. And because of that half day, they'd

have to wait at least another month.

But there was no point talking about it anymore.

Patricia sighed, "Trevor hasn't been home for quite some time. |

wonder if he'll still be busy after this. If he has some free time,

Wynn, make sure he comes over for dinner. We still haven't

properly thanked him for his help before." 1

Wynn listened quietly and replied in a calm voice, "Okay."

Meanwhile, after work, Celeste went out to have dinner with

Matthias, Zachary, and Nadine. After dinner, she accompanied

Nadine for some shopping. 1

By the time she got home, it was already past nine.

When she checked her phone, she found several messages from

Jordyn, telling her that Trevor had brought gifts and that she'd

bring them over ina few days when she had time.

Celeste looked at the messages for a while, then finally replied

with a single "Okay."

----

After sending the reply, she remembered that tomorrow was

Friday. She exited the chat and glanced at her messages. There

was still nothing from Trevor.

Holding her phone for a moment in silence, she finally set it

down and went into the bathroom to shower.

The next morning, Celeste kept an eye on her phone, but even

after she got to the office, there was still no message from

Trevor asking her to go to the courthouse for the divorce. 1

When Matthias arrived and saw she was already there, he

immediately knew she hadn't gone through with the divorce that

day either.

He couldn't help grumbling, “Is he really that busy?"

Celeste didn't answer.

After they finished going over a few things, they headed to

Fleming Group half an hour later.

While they were talking with some of the Fleming Group's staff,

they suddenly heard someone say a polite greeting. "Mr. Fleming.

Both Celeste and Matthias looked up and saw Trevor walking

into the meeting room.

----

He looked at them and gave a polite nod in greeting.

Celeste paused slightly while Matthias frowned.

Then, the meeting began.

Everything proceeded in an orderly, predictable way—just as

they'd expected.

Trevor sat there the whole time, listening quietly. He didn't need

to participate at all.

In other words, this meeting had nothing to do with him

So, why was he there? 7

Matthias clenched his jaw, leaned toward Celeste, and muttered

under his breath, "And he says he doesn't have time? Looks

pretty damn free to me.” 5
