Chapter 630
After a brief pause, Celeste said calmly, “But I have to go on a business trip tomorrow.”
“Huh? Another business trip?” Jordyn looked disappointed.
Celeste hummed a response and rubbed her head gently. “It’s getting late. Go back and rest with your dad first. When I get back from the trip, I’ll talk to you then.”
Jordyn pouted. “Okay…”
At that moment, Trevor suddenly spoke up, “How many days?”
Celeste felt that he was asking because he was concerned about when she would be back, so they could reapply for the marriage certificate and proceed with the divorce.
“Probably two to three days,” she said.
Trevor nodded, his attitude fairly gentle. “Alright. Have a safe trip.”
After that, he left with Jordyn and got into the car.
Not long after Trevor and Jordyn returned home, Miles called. “I heard you’re back? Finally done with work?”
“Not that fast,” Trevor replied as he watched Jordyn go upstairs, then sat down on the sofa.
Miles then said, “So, you’re not free to have a meal together tomorrow either?”
“I am free tomorrow,” Trevor said.
Hearing that, Miles’s expression finally improved a little. But as if something occurred to him, he asked, “So, tomorrow morning, are you going to the courthouse with Celeste again to apply for the divorce?”
“She’s not free tomorrow. She’s going on a business trip,” Trevor replied.
“Another business trip? Then when are you two actually going to get divorced? Honestly, you’ve been dragging this out for a really long time. If it weren’t for worrying about the impact, I’d have already advised you to sue for divorce.” 4
Trevor leisurely flipped through the newspaper and abruptly changed the subject. “Where are we eating tomorrow?”
Miles assumed he simply didn’t want to talk about Celeste and the divorce anymore, so he didn’t pursue it. “I’ll ask Beck and send you the address later,” (1
“Okay.”
When Beck received Miles’s call, he hesitated for a moment before declining on the grounds that he had something important to attend to.
Still, he couldn’t help asking about Trevor and Celeste. “Did Trevor and Celeste plan to apply for divorce tomorrow?”
Thinking it was just idle gossip, Miles answered without suspicion, “No. Trevor said Celeste is going on a

business trip tomorrow, so she doesn’t have time.”
Beck lowered his gaze. “Mm.”
At noon the next day, when Miles arrived at the restaurant and saw that only Trevor was in the private room, he couldn’t help asking, “Wynn isn’t coming?”
Trevor calmly brewed tea. “No.” (1
Miles thought Wynn must be busy with something. After sitting down, he sighed. “Just the two of us again. Feels pretty quiet.”
Trevor merely smiled without saying anything.
After the meal, when they came out of the private room, they happened to run into Wynn and the others coming out from another exit. 3
Both sides–except Trevor–were a little surprised. 1
However, when Wynn, Lilian, and the others saw that there were only Trevor and Miles in the private room, the surprise on their faces quickly faded, and the smiles at the corners of their mouths also dimmed.
They all knew that in the past, whenever Trevor gathered for a meal with Miles and the others, Wynn would definitely be included.
But this time…
In addition, Trevor had returned from his business trip and had time to eat with Miles, yet he hadn’t contacted Wynn even once. 1
If they hadn’t run into him here today, they still wouldn’t have known that Trevor had already returned.
Since he was back, they couldn’t help wondering whether he and Celeste had gone to the courthouse today to continue handling the divorce procedures.
