Chapter 680
Celeste just hummed a response to Jordyn's question.
Jordyn blinked in surprise. "Wow, so many people are sending
their wishes to you, Mom."
Before Celeste could respond, she had already run over
curiously to take a look. "This one is... from Kieran. This one
doesn't have a name."
Just as she was about to check who sent the third bouquet,
something suddenly occurred to her. She turned back to Celeste
and asked, "Mom, who's Kieran? Is he your friend? It sounds like
a man's name."
Celeste's expression remained unchanged. She gave a soft hum
and said, "He's a friend of mine."
Then she smoothly changed the subject. "Jo, do you want to go
out today?"
Jordyn's attention was instantly diverted. She ran back to
Celeste, took her hand, and said, "Dad and | came just to spend
the day with you, Mom. We'll go wherever you want to. Today,
it's all up to you."
After saying that, she turned to Trevor. "Right, Dad?"
----
Trevor smiled and looked at Celeste. "Where do you want to go?"
Celeste fell silent for a moment before saying, "Let's go watch a
movie."
It had been quite a while since she last went to the cinema.
“Alright,” Trevor agreed.
After that, they started discussing which movie to watch.
Jamie stood quietly at the side, watching them. Her gaze
eventually settled on the three bouquets.
Kieran, Caleb, and the unnamed man—all of them had sent red
roses.

She could tell at a glance what their intentions were in sending
flowers to Celeste. She believed Trevor understood it too. But yet
Even knowing that so many men were pursuing Celeste, Trevor
had stood there just now without the slightest change in
expression. 2
Once they had more or less decided, Celeste, Trevor, and Jordyn
headed out for a meal, then went to watch a movie.
After dinner and the movie, Trevor and Jordyn sent Celeste back
----
to the Rodriguez residence.
As for the three bouquets, he never brought them up to Celeste
at all.
The project Celeste was working on with Trevor and Quincy
soon entered a new phase.
That day, several business partners flew in from Andostan to
discuss the next steps in their collaboration.
The meeting went well. They had even brought a few bottles of
fine wine from Andostan, and two of them were opened during
dinner.
Celeste had a little to drink as well.
Trevor glanced at her and suddenly said, "This wine tastes a bit
‘sweet, but it has a strong kick."
He was reminding her to drink less.
Celeste paused. Kieran also froze for a moment, clearly not
expecting Trevor to deliberately remind her.
"Thanks for the reminder,’ Celeste replied calmly.
Among the partners was someone with a background in Al, who
----
greatly admired Celeste. He pulled her into a conversation about
recent breakthroughs while urging her to drink.
Celeste didn't want to drink too much, but the man was overly
enthusiastic. Kieran had been trying to help to block the drinks
for her, but unfortunately, someone among the partners from
Andostan happened to know him and even had a good
relationship with his parents.
So, he ended up being tied up himself and was made to drink
quite a bit as well.
Later, the others managed to divert that partner's attention, and
Celeste no longer had to keep drinking. But just as Trevor had
said, the wine was great, yet its aftereffect was strong.
Celeste hadn't actually drunk much, but her alcohol tolerance
was low. By the time the gathering was ending, she was already
drunk.
Along with her, Kieran and a few of the partners from Andostan
were drunk as well.
Quincy and Trevor, on the other hand, remained quite sober.
Seeing that Celeste was drunk, Quincy turned to Trevor. "Are you
taking her back, or should we call someone to pick her up?"
