NovelGoldChapter 502
After coming back from Jorburgh, Celeste had two days off.
She had a full day of rest.
On the morning of the second day, just after finishing breakfast,
her phone rang.
It was a call from Trevor. 2
Celeste glanced at the screen before picking up. "What is it?” 1
"Grandma was discharged from the hospital two days ago. She
wants to invite you over to Fleming Manor for a meal." *
Celeste was aware of Martha's discharge. At that time, though,
she had been away on a business trip in Jorburgh and couldn't
personally go to pick her up from the hospital. 1
"Got it," Celeste replied. +
Just as she was about to hang up, Trevor added, "I'll go pick you
“No need, I'll drive myself—"_ 4
“Jo wantsto go with her to your house to pick you up. She's
already got her shoes on." Trevor interrupted her. 2
Celeste paused. "...Alright.”
“We'll be there soon."

Celeste didn't respond, so Trevor ended the call.
About half an hour later, Trevor and Jordyn arrived at the
Rodriguez residence.
The rest of the Rodriguez family wasn't home. When Jordyn saw
Celeste, she happily jumped out of the car, ran over, and hugged
her. "Mom!" 3
From the driver's seat, Trevor lowered the window and turned his
head to look at them.
Once inside the car, Jordyn clung to Celeste, chattering about
the fun things she'd done the past few days, and mentioning that
the gift she bought was already at the Fleming Manor. 1
While Celeste was talking with Jordyn, Trevor focused only on
driving. When Jordyn had neatly finished her stories, he glanced
back at Celeste and asked, "You've been resting these past two
days?” «
"Yes," she answered.
There wasn't much else to say between them. So, Trevor didn't
initiate any more conversation with her along the way.
Martha had always been especially fond of Celeste. When she
saw her cto Fleming Manor, she was overjoyed
Seeing how much better Martha looked, Celeste also felt
Trevor was quite busy—while Celeste kept Martha company and
chatted with her, his phone hardly stopped ringing. 2
After lunch, Celeste had originally planned to stay a bit longer
before heading hin the afternoon. But outside, a heavy
downpour started and didn't let up for quite a while.
Since Martha had only just recovered and was still weak, she
went upstairs for her afternoon nap
Trevor then said to Celeste, "If you're tired, go upstairs and rest a
bit too.”
Before she could answer, Jordyn tugged on her hand and pulled
her upstairs.
Instead of going to Trevor's room, Celeste followed Jordyn into
Back when she had cleared out her things from Trevor's house,
she had almost taken everything.
But here at Fleming Manor, she hadn't removed her belongings.
So, there were still a few sets of clothes of hers in Jordyn's
wardrobe. 2
As Celeste was about to find a set of her pajamas to change
into, there was a knock at the door.
She turned her head, and before she could speak, Trevor,
standing at the doorway, saw oh

He nodded lightly. "Have a good rest." 2
With that, he gently closed the door for them and walked away.

Manor. She thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep, yet not
long after lying down beside Jordyn, she drifted off without
realizing.
When she woke up, perhaps from sleeping too long, her temples
ached slightly. Jordyn was no longer in the room. 2
After washing up, she went downstairs, but didn't see Martha or
Jordyn—only Trevor was sitting in the living room, reading. 3
When he noticed her coming down, he closed the book in his
hand and lifted his gaze to her. "You're awake." 16
