Chapter 599
Lilian didn’t say anything. But she shared the same thoughts as Ruby.
At this point, being negative or dejected was useless. The best course of action was to think of ways to remedy the situation. 3
How could Wynn not know what Ruby had said?
Precisely because she knew, she had taken the initiative earlier and messaged Trevor herself.
But the result… (2
Wynn lowered her gaze. She didn’t tell the others that she had already contacted Trevor, only saying lightly, “I know. I’ll contact him.” (1
Linda had actually never considered the possibility that Trevor might fall for Celeste, let alone abandon Wynn because of her. 1
Even though she had been the one to tell the family about Trevor giving that expensive diamond to Celeste and had fleetingly thought of that possibility, she still felt it was extremely unreal.
But what had just happened made that possibility start to feel a little real.
In other words, Trevor really might have developed feelings for Celeste. 3
At the thought of this, she felt like she was about to explode. She simply couldn’t accept such an outcome. 1
Clenching her teeth, she said, “No… Impossible. This isn’t real…”
Ruby and Lilian immediately knew what Linda was talking about..
Truth be told, they didn’t feel good either.
After all, something they had believed was set in stone, something they never thought would have any twists, was now full of uncertainty, and that uncertainty was because of Celeste.
The thought that Wynn and Trevor might really fall apart because of Celeste… 5
Not just Linda, even Ruby and Lilian found it extremely hard to accept.
Still, Ruby didn’t believe things would really go that far.
She tugged on Linda and said, “Alright. Right now, Trevor has just had a slight change in attitude toward Celeste. It’s not like he’s reached the point where he can’t live without her.
“I bet once Wynn makes a small move, without much effort at all, she’ll have Trevor back.” (6)
Hearing that, Linda’s mood improved considerably.
Wynn, however, didn’t say anything.
Lilian and Ruby didn’t disturb her anymore. After sitting for a while, they got up
and left.

On Friday afternoon, Celeste hadn’t gotten off work yet when her phone rang.
It was a call from Jordyn, saying that she wanted to go out to sea tomorrow and hoped Celeste would go with her. 2
Trevor had mentioned this to her before.
Listening to Jordyn now, Celeste recalled that every time they went out recently, Trevor had been there as well. So, she asked, “Just you and me?”
“No, Dad’s going too.” 1
Hearing that, Celeste paused. Before she could say anything, Jordyn continued excitedly on the other end of the line, chattering nonstop.
“Mom, it’s a private island! There are so many beautiful shells and fruits there. I really want to go. Mom, will you come with me, please?” 2
Celeste had thought Jordyn simply wanted to go play by the seaside, or maybe take a one–day trip out on the sea.
She didn’t expect it to be a private island.
If it were one of the first two, she could have taken Jordyn by herself.
But a private island was…
Jordyn went on enthusiastically for quite a while. When she noticed Celeste had been silent for a long time, her tone immediately fell, and she asked in a subdued voice, “Mom… Are you busy again?”
Celeste gripped her phone. After a long pause, she finally answered, “I… have time.” 2
Only then did Jordyn cheer up.
The next morning, as soon as Celeste woke up, she saw Jordyn.
Jordyn was leaning by her bedside. When she saw her awake, she happily grabbed her hand and said, “Mom, you’re awake! Dad is already downstairs waiting for us. Let’s go down quickly!” (1
Hearing Jordyn’s words, Celeste froze. (1
Did that mean Trevor had entered the Rodriguez residence? 3
