Chapter 600
When Celeste went downstairs, she indeed saw Trevor in the room
Ivan and Betty were already up as well, chatting with him.
Hearing footsteps, they all looked over.
Ivan spoke first. “Cel, you’re up. Breakfast is ready. Have some before heading out.”
Celeste nodded. “Okay.”
Trevor stood up. “I’ll step outside to reply to a work message. We’ll chat another time.”
Ivan hurriedly nodded. “Alright.”
Trevor also nodded politely to Betty, then turned and walked out of the family home.
Seeing how Ivan was courteous and Betty’s rather cold expression toward Trevor, even though it was softer than before, Celeste understood clearly that the reason they had invited him in to sit was only that Trevor had helped them a great deal when Betty had been ill.
Trevor would marry Wynn in the future. No matter how much the relationship between the Rodriguez family and Trevor might ease, it would never truly become close. (1)
After eating a simple breakfast and greeting Ivan and the others, Celeste got into Trevor’s car. Together with Trevor and Jordyn, she left.
Not long after getting into the car, Trevor suddenly sent her a message.
Celeste paused, not quite reacting yet, when Trevor explained, “It’s some of the activities on the island. Take a look and see what you’d like to do.”
Before Celeste could respond, Jordyn leaned over and said excitedly, “Dad and I both want to ride a submarine! You can dive in the sea with a submarine without oxygen tanks. Mom, do you want to try it too?”
Listening to her, Celeste was genuinely interested. “Sure, I want to try it too.”
After that, Jordyn recommended several other activities to Celeste, talking animatedly about her plans—like collecting seashells, playing volleyball, catching fish herself, and having a barbecue.
Then she asked, “Mom, do you want to stay in the treehouse tonight, or the underwater glass villa?”
Celeste didn’t answer directly. Instead, she asked, “What about you, Jordyn?”
“I want to stay in the treehouse tonight, and tomorrow night we’ll stay in the underwater glass villa!”
“Me too.”
The journey was rather long.
After more than an hour’s drive, they boarded a private speedboat, and it wasn’t until close to noon that they arrived at the private island.
Trevor had said there weren’t many people on the island, and that really wasn’t an exaggeration.
Because aside from the three of them, the only others on the island were the staff. 2
After lunch, Jordyn changed into her beach outfit and couldn’t wait to go out and play.
Carrying a small bucket, she had only been out for a short while before she’d already picked up a pile of colorful seashells.
Celeste stayed by her side, while Trevor followed behind them.
After more than an hour, once the island staff confirmed it was safe to go diving, they changed clothes and prepared to head into

the sea.

The submarine they boarded was a private one. It was not very large, only able to accommodate five to six people. Its exterior was entirely made of glass, allowing them to sit inside and enjoy a 360–degree view of the underwater scenery.
Celeste had gone diving in the sea before, but going underwater in a submarine was a first for her, and the experience was quite
different.
After they went in, she learned that they could even use the submarine to catch fish.
Jordyn was thrilled.
Once underwater, seeing the colorful fish swimming all around the submarine, Jordyn began practicing how to catch them.
However, she wasn’t very skilled. After several attempts, she still hadn’t succeeded.
Trevor leaned over, reached out, and gently held her hand, patiently teaching her how to do it.
