After saying that, Jordyn noticed that the other lanterns were also cute and beautiful. Carrying her rabbit lantern, she began picking through the other lanterns again.
Celeste didn’t say anything.
She accompanied Jordyn while she browsed the lanterns for a while. When she noticed a restroom not far away, she said to Trevor, “Keep an eye on Jo. I’m going to the restroom.”
“Okay,” Trevor replied.
After Celeste walked away, Trevor looked at Jordyn, who was dazzled by all the lantern choices. He patted her head and said, ” Since you like them all so much, why don’t you ask Shanice what she thinks?”
Jordyn’s eyes lit up. Only then did she remember that she had almost forgotten to video call Shanice.
With Trevor’s reminder, she immediately took out her phone and made a video call.
Over the past year, Shanice had mostly been living with her grandparents.
She and Jordyn contacted each other occasionally, but they still had a very good relationship.
Shanice’s grandparents were very happy that she had a close friend of her own, so every time Jordyn contacted her, they were delighted.
This time was no exception.
When Shanice’s grandmother saw that it was Jordyn calling, she quickly handed the phone to Shanice.
Shanice was very happy to see Jordyn contacting her. “Jo, Happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year!” Jordyn held up the little lantern in her hand for her to see. “Look–what’s this?”
“Wow, a rabbit lantern! And there are so many other lanterns too! They’re so pretty!”
Seeing all the lanterns behind Jordyn and noticing the lively crowd around her, Shanice’s beautiful eyes were filled with envy.
“Jo, did you go out to play?”
“Yep. I’m out with my mom and dad.”
As she said that, she moved the phone slightly toward Trevor. Trevor bent down and greeted Shanice.
“Happy New Year, Shanice,”
“Happy New Year, Mr. Fleming!”
Jordyn had originally wanted to let Celeste say hello as well, but since Celeste wasn’t there, she said, “My mom went to the restroom. When she comes back, I’ll let you say hello to her.”
“Okay!”
After chatting for a while longer, one of Shanice’s elders came to find her, so they quickly ended the call 4
After hanging up, Jordyn continued wandering around nearby. By the time Celeste returned a short while later, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t introduced Celeste to Shanice,
But very soon, something else caught her attention, and she tugged at Celeste’s hand.
“Mom, let’s go over there.”

“Okay,” Celeste said.
Jordyn pulled Celeste along in front while Trevor followed behind. 1
The three of them strolled outside for almost three hours.
Although Jordyn had plenty of energy, she was still a child after all. By a little past ten at night, she was already getting tired and sleepy.
Seeing that she was worn out, Trevor picked her up.
“If you’re tired, let’s go back. We can come again next time if you still want.”
Nestled in his arms, Jordyn yawned and nodded. “Okay.”
Tonight, Celeste and Trevor had mainly come out to accompany Jordyn. They didn’t necessarily need to stay out until midnight like everyone else to celebrate the New Year.
Since Jordyn was tired, Celeste also hoped she could go back and rest early.
But before she could say anything, Jordyn tugged at her sleeve from Trevor’s arms and looked at her.
“Mom, you’re free tonight to come home with us, right?”
After saying that, she yawned again and rubbed her tired eyes.
“Even if you have to cook for Grandma tomorrow, you can go back to Granny’s house after you wake up in the morning, right?”
