Chapter 451
At around noon on Sunday, Kieran was out having a meal with his friend.
Seeing Kieran on his phone, looking busy, his friend leaned over to take a look. After reading the content on his screen, his friend winced.
“Come on, it’s the weekend. YodaVision’s not paying you that much–are you really still working through the weekends? I thought you were racking your brains trying to ask Ms. Rodriguez out.”
Kieran was doing it out of personal ambition. It had nothing to do with YodaVision. So, he didn’t respond to his friend’s comment.
Before he found out that Celeste was still married, he was spending every week trying to come up with ways to ask her out.
But she had told him she wasn’t divorced yet.
Judging by her tone, she and her husband really were at the stage of separation, but legally, they were still married
Seeing Kieran lost in thought and silent, his friend tapped the table. “Why so quiet? What are you thinking about?”
Kieran snapped out of his reverie.
Before, assuming Celeste was already divorced, he hadn’t thought much about her husband.
But ever since learning she wasn’t divorced yet and that her husband was the one filing for divorce, certain thoughts had begun creeping into his mind.
He had known Celeste for some time now, and in his eyes, she was kind, beautiful, easy to get along with, and talented.
Suddenly, he was curious–what kind of man would be willing to divorce someone like Celeste? 3
Just as he was about to ask his friend to help look into the guy, someone suddenly called out to him.
“Kieran?”
Kieran looked up.
It was Wynn.
Wynn smiled and walked over. “Out and about this early? I thought you’d still be in bed.”
Kieran glanced at her, his tone flat. “Do you need something?” 2
Since Kieran joined YodaVision, they’d barely interacted in private. And ever since he found out she was with Trevor, his attitude toward her had been distant.
Wynn didn’t mind and said, “Your sister reached out to me again a few days ago. She still hopes you’ll return home to help with the family business, but no matter what, you just won’t listen…”
As she spoke, she sat down and added, “You’ve been out on your own for a few months now. But staying at YodaVision like this isn’t really sustainable either. Why not just-” 31
Hearing that, Kieran paused.
He couldn’t quite understand why, despite her passion for AI and knowing just how incredible YodaVision was, she was still trying to convince him to go back and inherit the family business.

But he didn’t want to argue. He cut her off and said, “This between me and my family. I can handle it myself.” 2
Kieran looked a bit displeased, and seeing this, Wynn didn‘ push further. She simply said, “I understand that you’re reluctant to leave YodaVision. Honestly, I get it–I’ve always wanted to work there myself.
“It’s just… I heard your father’s health hasn’t been great lately…”
Kieran replied, “I’m aware.”
“That’s good then.”
Just then, Kieran’s friend finally jumped into the conversation with a polite smile. “Ms. Locket, are you here alone today? I haven’t seen Mr. Fleming.”
“I came with my family,” Wynn replied as she accepted the cup of tea handed to her. “As for Trevor, he’s on a business trip. He’ll be back soon.” 1
“Oh, I see.”
At that moment, Jorge walked over quickly and said, “Ms. Locket, what a coincidence.”
Wynn nodded with a smile. “It really is.”
Then, seeing the person behind him, she greeted, “Mr. Jennings? It’s been a while.”
Caleb gave a small nod and didn’t speak. Instead, he looked over at Kieran, who was sitting nearby. 1
Wynn noticed and started introducing them, “This is Kieran Gibson. Kieran, this is—”
But before she could finish, Caleb and Kieran both looked at each other, expressions unreadable. Then, in perfect sync, they interrupted her and said, “We’ve met.”
It wasn’t just Wynn, but even Jorge was momentarily stunned, his expression showing clear surprise.
After all, to their knowledge, these two had never crossed paths before.
