Chapter 525
After the day Celeste replied to Trevor’s message, he didn’t reply even after a few days had passed. 2
Instead, Jordyn contacted her twice.
On Friday night, Celeste took Jordyn out. 1
After dinner, and after playing a treasure hunt game, Jordyn said she wanted a milkshake. Just as Celeste was
about to hand her the cup she ordered, she saw Trevor not far away.
And he was walking toward her and Jordyn. 3
Celeste froze. 1
When Trevor noticed her looking, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. 5
At that moment, Jordyn also saw him, but there was no surprise on her face. It looked as if she already knew he
would come find them. 5
She happily waved. “Dad, over here.” 1
As soon as Trevor came over, Jordyn shook the milkshake in her hand and asked, “Dad, do you want some?”
He ruffled her head with his large hand. “I’m not thirsty.” 2
Jordyn said okay and happily drank by herself. 2
Then Trevor’s gaze returned to Celeste. “I just got off the plane.” 2
Did she ask him? 9
Still, since Jordyn was there, she gave a small hum in acknowledgement.
She didn’t look at Trevor, but bent down and said to Jordyn, “Jo, it’s getting late, how about—”
But Jordyn was already distracted by something in the crowd. “Mom, there’s someone playing the drum set
over there!” 1
Before Celeste could say anything, she ran off.
What Jordyn meant was actually a nearby drum school moving their instruments out into the square, inviting
kids to perform and attract students.

Kids these days were bold. Several about the same age as Jordyn went up to play, clearly with some foundation.
Their drumming was lively and in rhythm, and together with the upbeat background music, it drew quite a
crowd.
Jordyn had never played drums before, but seeing kids her age go up looked cool to her. She quickly squeezed
into the crowd and stood watching. 1
There were quite a lot of people around. 1
Worried she’d get lost, Celeste hurried after her.
Trevor wasn’t in a rush. Watching them from behind, he followed at a leisurely pace and came to stand at
Celeste’s side. 1
Celeste noticed him moving closer but said nothing.
Jordyn, seeing her come over, grabbed her hand, her eyes full of excitement. 1
Celeste saw how these young kids could perform in front of so many people without stage fright. Listening to
the lively music, she also found it interesting and watched it seriously.
A moment later, a child accidentally bumped into her. She lost her balance and was about to fall when Trevor
pulled her sideways into his arm, steadying her. 1
Celeste exhaled in relief. Once she was steady again, she looked at him and said, “…Thanks.” 2
Trevor just smiled and said nothing. Then, he let go of her waist before she could say more.
Some of the milkshake had spilled on Celeste’s hand.
Noticing it, he handed her a handkerchief.
“…Thanks, but no need.” She had brought tissues herself. 1
He didn’t insist and withdrew his hand.
“Have you been very busy these past few days?” Trevor asked. 2
“…It’s been okay.”
Just then, Linda happened to be coming out of the cinema. Since it was getting late, she planned to grab a
milkshake and go home. 7

But while waiting for her drink, she turned her head and saw Trevor and Celeste standing side by side.
