Chapter 526
In Linda’s mind, Trevor only cared about Wynn and didn’t like Celeste at all. So, even when she saw Trevor and Celeste together, she didn’t think much of it. 4
She figured the only reason he would be there with Celeste was because of Jordyn. 3
Just as she was thinking that, she noticed Jordyn standing in front of Celeste, looking up and talking to her.
Seeing that, she let out a mocking snort. (2)
Jordyn didn’t see Linda–she was completely caught up by the drum performance. Excitedly, she said to Celeste, “Mom, this drum set looks super cool. I want to learn too!” (2
Of course, Celeste wasn’t going to object if she wanted to learn.
But since she and Trevor were about to get divorced, and custody belonged to Trevor, whatever Jordyn wanted to learn in the future should be his decision. 1
So, she gave a faint smile and said, “You’ll have to ask your dad.”
Jordyn turned to Trevor. “Dad, can I?”
Trevor smiled. “Sure.” (1
Jordyn cheered and grabbed Celeste with one hand and Trevor with the other. “Then let’s go sign up right now!”
But Trevor didn’t move.
He bent down, patted her head, and said, “There’s no rush to sign up. Since you want to learn, why don’t we first pick out a set you like? Once you choose, I will find a teacher to come to the house and teach you.” (2
Jordyn’s eyes lit up. “Yes, yes, yes! Let’s go right now. I have to pick the coolest one!”
She let go of his hand, pulled Celeste out of the crowd, then turned back to ask, “Dad, where do we buy a drum set?” 1
Trevor pulled out his phone, following behind the mother and daughter. “I’ll call and ask.”
“Okay!”
Celeste was about to tell Jordyn she wouldn’t be going.
But seeing how happy Jordyn was, insisting on dragging her along, and seeing Trevor actually making calls to ask, she just couldn’t bring herself to say no.
After finishing his call, Trevor stepped forward and came to Celeste’s side before saying with a smile, “Shall I ride in your car?” 16
Before Celeste could answer, Jordyn hurriedly chimed in, “Yes, yes!” (4

Celeste couldn’t say anything. Given the situation, what reason did she have to refuse?
She said nothing, and together with Jordyn and Trevor, left the square for the underground parking lot.
Linda usually didn’t take Celeste seriously. But seeing the three of them look so much like a happy family of three, even knowing that Trevor supposedly hated Celeste, she still felt a pang of irritation. 9
Still, when she noticed how much Celeste seemed to dote on Jordyn, she reminded herself that not only did Trevor dislike Celeste, but even her beloved daughter preferred Wynn. 3
That thought instantly cheered her up again. 2
Just then, her milkshake was finally ready.
She gave a sneering glance at Celeste’s back, then picked up the drink and left. 4
She returned to the Locket residence.
Most of the family was home.
Seeing Wynn, Linda walked over with a smile. “Wynn, you’re back so early?” She knew Wynn was supposed to have a dinner engagement that evening.
Wynn gave a cold hum. “Finished the movie already?”
“No, it was super boring. I left halfway through.” 2
Linda still hadn’t finished her milkshake. She sipped it as she spoke, “Oh, right, Wynn, after I left the cinema, saw Trev and Celeste at the square.” 9
