Chapter 662
After the Harper Corporation banquet ended, Celeste and
Matthias each went home.
Jordyn had been staying at the Rodriguez residence these past
two days.
When she learned that Celeste was finally on holiday, she was
overjoyed. "Mom, you're finally on break! Can we go out and
have fun tomorrow?"
Celeste caressed her head gently. "Where do you want to go?”
“I'll think about it first and tell you when | decide," Jordyn said.
“Alright.”
The next day, Celeste took Jordyn out. Not long after they left
the house, Jordyn received a call from Trevor, reminding her that
the next day was New Year's Eve and that she had to be home
by that evening at the latest.
“Got it," Jordyn said cheerfully.
“I'll go back tonight with Mom, right, Mom?"
Celeste didn't want to return to the Fleming manor for the New
Year.
----
But she had indeed promised Jordyn. And Jordyn had stayed at
the Rodriguez residence precisely because she wanted to wait
for Celeste to finish her work so they could go back together.
After Jordyn hung up, Celeste took advantage of the moment
when Jordyn wasn't paying attention and sent Trevor a message.
“Can you help talk to Jo?"
She didn't spell out what she wanted him to persuade Jordyn
about, but she trusted that he would understand.
However, a long time passed before Trevor replied. "It's hard to
persuade her." 1
Celeste frowned. She didn’t send another message.
She truly didn't want to go back to the Fleming manor for the
New Year.

Looking at Jordyn, she hesitated for a while before finally
saying, “Jo, | want to spend the New Year with your Granny and
the others. Do you want to stay with me?"
"Huh?"
Celeste continued, "Tomorrow, | want to cook for your grandma
and bring the food to the hospital for her..."
----
In Jordyn’s mind, Celeste hadn't been back to their home for a
very, very long time.
She had genuinely been looking forward to Celeste coming
home.
When Celeste said she was busy and had no time before, Jordyn
had been very understanding.
She could also understand wanting to cook for Grandma and
bring food to the hospital for the New Year. But still...
The smile on her face faded. She only looked up at Celeste and
asked softly, "Then... After you finish cooking for Grandma, will
you have time to come home? Or do you still have other plans?"
Celeste froze.
Jordyn understood immediately.
Her eyes reddened. She didn't say anything more, just turned
around and started to walk away.
"Jo—"
Jordyn didn't respond. She lowered her head, picked up her
phone, and called Trevor.
He answered quickly. Before he could say anything, he heard
----
Jordyn sobbing, "Dad, where are you? | want to go home.”
Trevor was at the manor, accompanying Lincoln in entertaining
guests.
Hearing her cry, he didn't ask further questions. He only said, "
I'm at your Nana's place. If you want to come back, then come
back."
Then he asked, "Did you argue with your mom?"
Jordyn wiped her tears. She glanced back at Celeste, who was
following behind her, and felt even more wronged. Her tears fell
harder. "| didn't..."
It was clearly Mom who didn't keep her promise. It was Mom
who made her angry. +
Trevor said, "Give the phone to your mom."
Jordyn stopped, turned around, and handed the phone to.
Celeste. When Celeste took it and instinctively reached out to
touch her face, Jordyn turned her head away.
Celeste paused, then took the phone. "Hello."
“I'll calm her down. Don't worry," Trevor said.
Celeste was momentarily stunned.
----
Hearing him say that, she understood that although Jordyn
hadn't explained anything, Trevor had already guessed why she
was crying
After a brief silence, she said, "Alright."
