The Lockets and the Shaws watched in the direction Celeste had left, then got into their car and drove off as well.
Wynn had urgent matters to handle, so she didn’t go with them to the Fleming family’s hot spring resort. 2
When they got home, Wynn also happened to be back.
Just as Wynn was about to speak after seeing them return, Ruby said, “Wynn, guess who we ran into at the hotel these past two days?” 3
Wynn didn’t even need to hear the answer to know they must’ve run into Celeste. 2
Sure enough, before she could respond, Ruby revealed it.
What happened that day–Trevor hugging Celeste in public, and then staying in her room for a long time after taking her back. 1
Ruby sat down and recounted the whole thing to Wynn, then pouted, “Even though I know Trevor doesn’t actually have feelings for Celeste, seeing him treat her so well still makes me uncomfortable.” 6
Linda chimed in, “Exactly.” 6
The others didn’t comment when Ruby brought this up to Wynn. After all, they truly didn’t take Celeste seriously at all. 2
Because of that, none of them noticed how Wynn’s fingers suddenly tightened around her cup when she heard
the news. 2
Going to the military base this time, Celeste did not run into Caleb again. 6
The matter, despite being urgent, was resolved surprisingly quickly. On top of that, Celeste stayed an extra day to help Zachary take care of other work.
She originally thought she would have to wait several more days until after her divorce mandatory waiting period with Trevor ended before she could finish everything.
In reality, when she left the base, there was still one full day before the mandatory waiting period ended.
Once she returned home, the very first thing she did was send Trevor a message.
“I wrapped things up ahead of time. I’m free the morning after tomorrow.”
It wasn’t until almost an hour later that Trevor replied, “Something came up at the last minute. The divorce will have to wait.” (11)
Celeste paused.
She didn’t expect this again.
Previously, when she’d told Trevor she might have to delay the divorce by a few days due to work, she had already been worried.

Upon receiving the update, Ruby’s voice shot up, “Trevor went on a business trip again? Their mandatory waiting period ends tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, they can finally get the certificate!” 1
Linda, equally shocked, blurted out, “Exactly! Last time, he already failed to divorce that bitch because of work, and now it’s happening again? Can’t Trev adjust his schedule even a little?” 5
Lennox wasn’t happy either, but Trevor was already on the plane. So, what could she say?
She could only sigh helplessly. “It must be something urgent.”
The others were thinking the same.
After all, in their eyes, Trevor was very eager to divorce Celeste. 7
Ruby sighed, “Let’s just hope Trevor can settle his work quickly. It better not turn out like last time-” 2
