Celeste was actually very clear in her heart about the reason things had turned out this way.
She sat there for a long time in silence.
The next day, after personally dropping Jordyn off at school, she returned to the company to work.
That afternoon, when it was time for Jordyn to get out of school, Celeste picked up her phone and called her.
Jordyn was very happy to receive the call. “Mom, what’s up?”
“Nothing really. Just calling you. Are you coming back to your Granny’s place later? I’ll have someone make more of the dishes you like.”
Jordyn nodded eagerly. “Okay!”
After saying a few more words, Celeste hung up.
Jordyn didn’t know why Celeste had suddenly called her, but since Celeste had taken the initiative to contact her, she was very happy.
She thought it was just an occasional call.
But she didn’t expect that the next day after school, she would receive another call from Celeste.
Not only that, but on the third and fourth days, Celeste would also call her, asking whether school was busy, roughly what time she would get home, whether Jordyn wanted anything, and saying she could bring it back after work if she did…
Because of this, Jordyn was so happy that she bounced around in Celeste’s room.
Trevor basically made time to call her every day.
Every day, she couldn’t help but tell him, “Dad, Mom called me again today!”
Trevor smiled lightly. “Mm, I know.” 1
“Has Mom come home yet?”
“No. Mom said she’s been extremely busy with work lately and has to work overtime every day.”
“I know.”
“Oh…”
At that moment, Celeste came home.
Seeing her, Jordyn rushed into her arms and clung to her, unwilling to let go. “Mom, you’re back! I missed you so much.”
Celeste touched her head. “Have you taken your shower?”
“Just done.”
After chatting with Celeste for a bit more, Jordyn then remembered that she was still on the call with

Trevor. “Dad, Mom’s home now, I’m hanging up.”
Trevor smiled. “Okay.”
Celeste knew that father and daughter talked on the phone every day, but between her and Trevor, apart from the day he left on his business trip, there had been no communication at all.
Even so, she still knew some things about him.
Because Matthias had been following the progress of the innovative drug project Trevor had invested in.
So, she knew that he was still in Andostan and that he wouldn’t be able to return to the country in the next
few days.
On Saturday, because she had to work overtime, Celeste went back to YodaVision again.
She wasn’t the only one working overtime. Matthias and others were there too.
Near noon, Jordyn called.
Matthias actually knew that recently, Celeste had been frequently taking the initiative to contact Jordyn.
After Celeste hung up the phone, he looked at her and asked, “Planning to make peace with Jordyn?” Celeste lowered her eyes. “More or less. She’s still young, and there are many things she doesn’t understand yet. She’s just being influenced by her environment. 2
“I’ll do my best to fulfill my responsibilities. When she grows up and understands things, even if she still sides with other people, by then, I won’t have anything more to say.”
Matthias nodded.
In fact, this was something Celeste had probably always understood.
Jordyn and the matter between her and Trevor were different in nature.
Jordyn had been raised by her own hands–only she herself knew how much she had given to Jordyn. But in the end, Jordyn still treated her this way. No matter how rational she was, she would still feel pain, sadness, and then slowly grow cold at heart…
