While Celeste and Nadine were happily catching up in their private room, on the other side, Trevor had just sat down in his own room when his phone rang.
He stepped outside to answer it. 3
Meanwhile, Wynn pulled out the journal she had brought along.
“Jo, I’m going to read for a bit. Can you play on your own for now?”
“Okay.” Jordyn, after all, had lived in Andostan for two years, and her language was quite good.
Noticing the title and cover of the journal in Wynn’s hands, she remarked, “Oh! Dad has this one too.”
Wynn knew Trevor kept a close watch on the latest developments in the field of AI. In fact, when she asked him about it just a few days ago, he had already said he was reading it. (1
So, when she heard Jordyn’s comment, she simply nodded. “Mm, I know.”
That reminded Jordyn of something. She couldn’t help but add, “The day Mom came home, Dad was worried she’d be bored, so he went upstairs to get her some books. 1
“That night, after she finished reading, Dad even talked to her about the journal’s content. They chatted for quite a while.” 4
Wynn also knew about Celeste’s visit to the Fleming manor a few days back. But she didn’t know that Trevor had fetched books for Celeste, nor that he’d actively discussed the journal with her. (4)
Her fingers stilled on the page.
After a moment of silence, she asked, “So… It was your father who took the initiative to bring those books to your mother?” 1
“Yeah.”
Wynn pressed her lips together. She tried to tell herself that maybe Jordyn was just imagining it–that Trevor’s real purpose was knowing she herself was studying that journal. 3
Since Celeste was competent in that area, perhaps he had sought out her perspective to help Wynn gain
more insight. 7
Thinking this way, she smiled faintly and asked, “Jo, how do you know your dad gave your mom those books because he was worried she’d be bored?” 1
“Because it was raining hard that day. Mom couldn’t go back to Granny’s, so she just sat on the carpet
with me.

“Dad came over and asked if Mom wanted to play chess, but she didn’t. Then he told her to go upstairs and read, but Mom didn’t want to move, so Dad went up and brought her a few books himself.”
At that, Wynn’s lashes trembled. Her grip on the journal tightened. “Your father said and did all of that on his own?” 3
“Mmhm.” Jordyn paused, then suddenly realized, “Oh, right, before, it was always Mom who started conversations with Dad. But now it’s the other way around–Dad’s the one starting conversations with Mom. I didn’t notice until you said so.” 3
Wynn knew better than anyone how cold and indifferent Trevor used to be toward Celeste. (1
But now, hearing this, recalling how Trevor’s attitude had shifted after Celeste’s achievements in AI, and remembering what happened recently in Jorburgh–her expression finally betrayed her. 4
She quickly masked it before Jordyn noticed. 1
After a long silence, she drew in a deep breath and asked, “Those couple of days at home… Did your dad often talk to your mom like that?”
Jordyn nodded. “Yeah. And when Mom was working, Dad even went over and sat beside her to watch.” 3 Wynn’s smile broke completely. Her voice was barely audible. “Is that so…” 16
