Trevor’s gaze also fell on Kieran and Celeste’s hands. Holding his teacup, he smiled and took a sip, saying nothing. 3
Trevor had never had feelings for Celeste to begin with. Now that they were close to divorce, it was normal for him not to care about her having physical contact with other men. 3
Still, what surprised Miles was how popular Celeste seemed to be now. Besides Matthias, there were even other suitors with such good qualifications.
Because of the unpleasant tension between Celeste and Wynn, when Kieran first saw that Trevor was the one negotiating with them, he thought communication would be difficult. But he soon realized the discussion was going quite smoothly.
Moreover, Trevor’s attitude toward Celeste was fairly gentle. At times, when Kieran wasn’t paying attention and forgot to refill her tea, Trevor would casually do it himself.
It was as if the discord between Wynn and Celeste had already become a thing of the past. 1
Yet in their previous encounters, Celeste and Wynn had barely acknowledged each other, clearly harboring deep resentment- nothing like a relationship where past grievances had been resolved.
Still, everyone involved was an adult. Whether it was Trevor or Celeste, they were probably just being professional and keeping work separate from personal matters. 2
It wasn’t until after five in the evening that their discussion came to a pause.
Trevor glanced at his watch and looked at Celeste. “It’s getting late. How about having dinner together?”
Celeste felt there was no need. She stood up and said, “I already have other plans. Maybe next time. For the follow–up on the cooperation, I’ll continue discussions with Mr. Stone.”
“Alright.”
They exchanged another polite handshake before Celeste turned and left with Kieran.
Miles had spent half the day as an idle companion and had been playing games on his phone out of boredom. Seeing Celeste leave, he put his phone away, looked in her direction, and suddenly thought of something.
“Oh, right–didn’t you two decide to postpone the divorce for now? Does this ‘temporary postponement‘ have a time limit?”
Trevor took a sip of water. “No.”
“Huh? You didn’t set a timeframe?”
Trevor set the cup down and stood up. “No.”
“Then if you keep dragging this out, how long is it going to last?”
If it dragged on for three to five years, or even seven or eight–would Wynn agree?
Trevor smiled faintly. “It won’t drag on indefinitely. You don’t need to worry about that.” $
Miles thought so too.
Seeing that Trevor seemed to already have a plan in mind, Miles assumed he had a deadline set for himself and didn’t ask further.
…
Elsewhere, after spending the day out with Jordyn, Wynn returned home, where her family asked about how things had been over the past two days. 1

When they learned that Trevor hadn’t appeared at all, the Lockets and the Shaws weren’t particularly disappointed.
Lennox said, “The fact that Trevor is still letting you meet Jordyn alone shows that he trusts you, and that he hasn’t intended to break things off with you. That’s actually a good sign.”
“Yes, exactly.” Others chimed in agreement.
It had been nearly half a month since the last divorce decision period between Celeste and Trevor.
In the past, Trevor and Celeste would have already gone back to the courthouse to file for divorce again.
But this time, there had been no news at all.
“How about you ask around, Wynn? Maybe you can check with Miles or Beck?”
Asking Miles was doable. (3
As for Beck…
Wynn lowered her gaze and said, “Alright. I got it.” (2
