Chapter 645
The next day, just as Wynn was thinking of finding a chance to contact Trevor to ask whether he had time to come over and have lunch with them, Jordyn’s phone buzzed.
“It’s a message from Dad,” Jordyn said.
Before Wynn could react, she heard Jordyn continue, “Dad says he still has things to deal with, so he won’t be coming over to
have a meal with us.” 1
“…Alright, I got it.”
Not only did Trevor not come over to eat lunch with them, but when Jordyn got tired in the afternoon and wanted to go home, Trevor directly arranged for a car to come and pick her up.
He never showed up at all.
After the person he sent took Jordyn away, he also didn’t contact Wynn at all. 4
After finishing up matters on the Fleming Group side over the past two days, Celeste was just about to take half a day off when her phone rang.
It was a call from Jacob.
Celeste paused briefly before answering.
On the other end of the line, Jacob’s tone was cool and distant. “Ms. Rodriguez, this is Jacob. Mr. Fleming said that the cooperation between you and Mr. Stone also needs to move forward soon. He would like to discuss the specifics with you. May I ask if you’re free this evening?”
So, it was Trevor asking Jacob to contact her about work.
Celeste replied calmly, “Yes.”
“Alright.”
After confirming the time and location with her, Jacob hung up.
Celeste checked the time. After finishing up the work at hand, she tidied up her things and was just about to head out when Kieran knocked and came in.
Seeing that she was about to leave, he asked, “Heading out?”
“Yes, I’m meeting someone to discuss something.”
Kieran had just finished up his own work and asked, “Is it convenient to bring me along?”
This project with Fleming Group and Quincy also required Kieran’s involvement, so Celeste agreed.
When they arrived at the destination and pushed the door open, Trevor was already there.
However, besides Trevor, Miles was there as well. (1)
Kieran only knew that this project was mainly a collaboration between YodaVision and Fleming Group, but he hadn’t expected Trevor to personally come for discussions.
When he saw Trevor, his steps paused slightly.
Seeing him, Trevor’s expression remained quite calm. He nodded at Kieran and Celeste. “You’re here.”

Celeste nodded, politely shook hands with Trevor, then sat down in a chair nearby. 2
They exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business and discussing work. 1
Kieran didn’t know much about this new project they were cooperating on, so he could only listen from the side and pour tea for Celeste when appropriate.
Celeste was focused and engaged in her discussion with Trevor and instinctively reached for the tea Kieran had just brewed for
her.
Startled, Kieran quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Careful, it’s hot.” 1
Celeste was momentarily stunned when he suddenly held her hand. But after reacting, she calmly withdrew it and said, “Thank you, I will.”
Miles was usually a very talkative person.
Today, however, he was unusually quiet. 1
There was no other reason for it other than the fact that this was the first time he had seen Celeste and Trevor discussing work in such a purely businesslike manner.
The way they looked now seemed like they were completely unfamiliar with each other. No one would be able to tell that they were husband and wife–let alone a couple with a six–year–old child.

In fact, he was willing to bet that Kieran hadn’t noticed it either. Otherwise-
At first, when he saw how attentive Kieran was toward Celeste, he hadn’t thought much of it. But the more he watched, the more something felt off, and it didn’t take long for him to confirm that Kieran genuinely had feelings for Celeste.
Now, seeing Kieran holding Celeste’s hand, Miles instantly raised his eyebrows in excitement and looked toward Trevor. 13
