Chapter 720
Celeste was just about to speak when Jordyn came out of the restroom. “Mom, Nana, I’m done!”
With Jordyn there, Celeste and Martha naturally didn’t continue their topic. Instead, they boarded the sightseeing cart and went
back to their car.
That same day, news that Celeste and Trevor had agreed to postpone their divorce on Martha’s request reached Wynn, Miles,
and Beck. 1
As soon as he heard the news, Miles immediately tagged Trevor in their group chat.
“Your divorce is really full of twists and turns. I’ve already lost count of how many times you failed to finalize the divorce.”
Wynn and Beck saw it, but neither replied.
Trevor had already told Wynn about this matter. So, looking at the messages in the group now, Wynn slowly tightened the grip on her phone.
She had originally thought that after Trevor owed Celeste and Betty a favor during this period, even if they didn’t finalize the divorce immediately, they would still at least find time to do so after Lincoln’s condition stabilized and he was discharged from the hospital. 4
That way, they could still manage to obtain the divorce certificate before the decision period ended.
But with Martha’s request, it meant that Trevor and Celeste wouldn’t be finalizing the divorce during this window. 1
In other words, they would have to go through at least another mandatory waiting period before they could officially divorce.
When Miles found out, he was somewhat surprised.
But having witnessed just how severe Lincoln’s condition was and having seen with his own eyes how much Martha had aged in just a few days, he could understand both her request and Trevor’s decision to agree.
However…
He wasn’t bothered at all, seeing that no one was responding in the group chat. After all, he was always the one who talked the most in the group. 2
Then he thought of something and tagged Trevor again.
“I can understand you agreeing to the request, but I’m a bit surprised that Celeste agreed too. After all, she and Matthias seem pretty close. I thought they’d want her to finalize the divorce with you sooner.”
However, he paused after sending the message. Then he suddenly felt that Celeste agreeing to the request made sense as well
He could clearly feel that she genuinely cared a lot about Martha when he saw her at the hospital
So, even if she wanted to end things with Trevor quickly and be with Matthias openly, she probably still couldn’t ignore Martha’s request. 1
However, since Wynn was also in the group, he didn’t say any of this in the group chat After all, that would sound just like he was speaking up for Celeste. 2
Seeing that there was still no one responding, Miles sent another message. “Are you all that busy?” +
At that moment, Trevor finally appeared.
However, he didn’t respond to the earlier messages. Instead, he only tagged Miles and Beck

“My father’s condition has finally stabilized. Thanks for your help during this period. Are you free later? Let’s have a meal together.” 2
Miles immediately agreed.
Beck also replied shortly after. “Okay.”
Seeing him finally appear, Miles immediately tagged him again. “So, you were here the whole time but not saying anything? I thought everyone was busy.”
Beck looked at the message but seemed slightly distracted.
Each time Trevor and Celeste failed to finalize their divorce, Miles would either sigh about it in the group or joke about it during their private gatherings.
Meanwhile, he would always remain silent about it. 4
Beck thought he was quite patient, and he was willing to wait.
But over the past year, he had waited again and again. This time, he truly believed that they would finally succeed in getting divorced. 3
He didn’t expect that… 2
