Chapter 666
It wasn’t a phone call.
Instead, it was Miles who sent a message in their group chat.
Miles tagged everyone and asked, “Come on, hurry up and tell me, what plans do you have later tonight? Want to go out and have some fun together?”
Beck replied quickly. “No plans. How do you want to arrange it?”
“That’s exactly what I was waiting for!”
He then tagged Trevor and Wynn. “What about you two?”
Wynn saw the message but didn’t reply. She was waiting for Trevor to respond first.
At that moment, after reading the messages, Trevor picked up his phone and replied. “I’m eating at the Rodriguez family’s place right now. Not sure about plans for tonight yet–it depends on Jo.”
The moment his message was sent, both Beck and Wynn, who were looking at their screens, froze for a second.
Neither of them had expected Trevor to be spending New Year’s at the Rodriguez family’s home this year.
Miles, meanwhile, reacted instantly, firing off a string of question marks and exclamation points to show his shock.
“????!!!! Wait–you’re at the Rodriguez family’s place right now?”
“Yes.”
Before Miles could say anything else, Trevor sent another message. “Still eating, not convenient to chat. Have fun tonight.”
After replying, he exited the chat, put his phone away, and continued eating.
It took Miles a long moment to come back to his senses.
“Trevor really is-”
For a moment, he didn’t even know how to finish the sentence.

Should he say that Trevor doted on Jordyn to an extreme, that he was even willing to spend New Year’s at the Rodriguez family’s home just for her sake?
But Jordyn was his daughter. As her father, wasn’t it only natural for him to make certain compromises for his child?
Still, in Miles’s mind, Wynn must already know that Trevor had gone to the Rodriguez family’s place for the New Year. Regaining his composure, he tagged Wynn. “Trevor might not be free tonight. What about you? Do you have time?”
Wynn was still reeling from the news that Trevor had gone to the Rodriguez family’s home.
Seeing how quickly Miles had moved on from that revelation, she realized that he must have misunderstood and assumed that she had already known about it.
And since he also assumed that Trevor had gone there purely because of Jordyn, Wynn didn’t bother to explain anything.
After a long pause, she replied, “I don’t have time either. I promised to stay home tonight with both of my grandmothers. You guys go have fun.”
“Alright then.”
He then began discussing the time and place for going out later with Beck.

Like Miles, Beck also assumed that Wynn had already known about Trevor spending New Year’s at the Rodriguez family’s home and that it really was just for Jordyn’s sake. 2
He actually wanted to do what Caleb and Kieran had done–call Celeste and take the initiative to ask her out. 1
But given his current relationship with her as neither a friend nor someone who had confessed his feelings, he didn’t even have the standing to make that call. 3
Seeing Miles’s messages in the group chat, he suppressed those thoughts, lowered his head, and typed out a reply.
Elsewhere, Wynn sent a private message to Trevor. “You and Jo went to the Rodriguez family’s place for New Year’s? Jo must be really happy. Also, Happy New Year.”
Trevor saw the message and replied, “Happy New Year.” 2
That was all–no extra words. 1
Yet Wynn smiled.
Even though she also wanted to ask Trevor out, after seeing what he’d said in the group chat earlier, she knew that even if she invited him, there was little chance he would agree.
Since that was the case, it was better to just send him a message.
If he saw it and replied, it would only help maintain the momentum between them. 8
