Chapter 442
In the afternoon, after finishing her work, Wynn wanted to ask Trevor out for dinner. She called him several times, but none of the calls went through.
Finally, she called his secretary, Jacob.
Once the call connected, she asked, “I can’t get through to Trevor’s phone. Is he still busy?”
Jacob sounded a bit surprised. “Boss flew overseas this afternoon for a business trip. You didn’t know?”
Wynn froze. She really didn’t know. Trevor hadn’t told her.
“Was the business trip a last–minute decision?”
“Yes, it was.”
Even if it had been a last–minute decision, he surely could have found time to call or send her a message. But he didn’t say anything at all.
Realizing this, her expression darkened slightly. 1
After a moment’s silence, she picked up her bag and left the home office while dialing Jordyn’s number.
Jordyn was lying in the living room playing with a puzzle. Seeing the call, she quickly answered. “Wynn?”
“Mhm.” Wynn’s voice was gentle. “Jo, are you home already?”
“Yeah, I’m home.”
Wynn smiled and asked, “Were you happy having your dad go to your parent–teacher meeting today?”
Hearing this, Jordyn responded cheerfully, ‘‘Wynn, you got it wrong! The one who came to school today for the meeting was Mom, not Dad!” 2
At the mention of Celeste, Wynn’s smile and tone both calmed slightly. “Is that so…”
parent–teacher
After a short pause, she added, “I called your dad around noon and asked if the meeting was done. He said it was, so I thought he was the one who went to your school.”
Because Celeste had gone instead, Jordyn had been in a very good mood all day.
Now, hearing Wynn bring it up, she excitedly said, “Nope! But after the meeting, Dad came to have lunch with me and Mom!”
Hearing this, Wynn froze in front of the elevator and stopped pressing the button. “He had lunch with you two? Did you ask him to?”
“No, Dad suggested it. He said after he finished his work, he’d come join me and Mom for lunch.”
He offered to go have lunch with Celeste?
Wynn’s smile faded further. But then she thought that since the divorce cooling–off period was almost over, maybe the were still some important things they needed to discuss.
That could explain why Trevor would…
She probed gently, “I see… Then during lunch, did your dad say anything to your mom?”
Jordyn was half focused on her puzzle while talking to Wynn on the phone.
Hearing the question, she paused to think. “Not really… Dad kept trying to talk to Mom during lunch, but Mom didn’t seem very interested. She didn’t really want to talk to him and didn’t seem very happy eating together either.”
Upon hearing that, Wynn lowered her eyes and murmured to herself, “Is that so?”

“Yep.”
Wynn said nothing more.
In truth, she knew that for the past two years, no matter whether big or small matters, Trevor and Celeste had rarely communicated directly. 3,
Most of the time, they didn’t even speak on the phone, just sent text messages.
Which meant, even if there were issues related to the divorce to clarify, Trevor could have easily handled them via text.
Or even more directly, he could’ve let the lawyers handle everything.
In fact, if he wanted to do anything, he had no need to consult Celeste at all. 4)
In other words, there was no reason for them to meet.
But they did meet today.
And from what Jordyn described, it was Trevor who made a point to go see Celeste…
