Chapter 195
Jordyn wasn’t around, so Celeste smiled slightly and said, “We’re about to divorce.”
Tilda had already suspected as much. After all, Celeste had daughter but had been living alone across from her
all this time.
Not to mention, Celeste hadn’t attended the last parent–teacher meeting. Instead, someone else had–a sexy and beautiful woman.
Trevor, however, took the initiative to greet her. “Hello.”
Tilda responded, “Hello.”
Trevor asked, “You two know each other?”
Although the question was directed at Tilda, his gaze landed on Celeste.
Celeste didn’t want to engage and remained silent.
Tilda answered, “Cel and I are neighbors.”
Sensing the awkward tension between them and noticing that Celeste didn’t seem interested in speaking with Trevor, Tilda quickly found an excuse to leave.
Trevor remarked, “Seems like you get along well with your new neighbor.”
Celeste lowered her head and checked her phone.
Trevor didn’t seem upset, but he also didn’t continue speaking.
At that moment, Jordyn returned, and the parent–child event was about to begin.
Celeste had participated in a similar event during Jordyn’s first year of kindergarten. But ever since Jordyn and Trevor moved abroad last year, she didn’t attend again.
The first activity was “Musical Chairs“.
The game required chairs to be arranged in a circle, with two fewer chairs than the number of participating families. Parents had to carry their child and walk around the chairs while music played.
When the music stopped, they had to quickly find a seat. Families who didn’t secure a chair would be eliminated each round, and the last family left would be the champion
Trevor turned to Celeste. “Do you want to do it, or should I?
.
Just as Celeste was about to say “You do it,” Jordyn eagerly spoke first, “Dad will do it!”
Trevor looked at Celeste. “What do you think?”
Celeste replied, “You do it.”
“Alright.” Trevor handed her his phone. “Then you record it.”
Celeste hesitated and didn’t want to touch his phone. “I’ll use mine. I’ll send you the video later.”
Trevor didn’t insist and took his phone back. Then, he picked up Jordyn and stood beside the other parents near the chairs.
Celeste stood up, opened her phone’s video recording function, and aimed it at Trevor and Jordyn.

Suddenly, Trevor glanced over at her. The camera captured his face directly. He smiled at her.
Celeste’s grip on her phone tightened for a brief moment.
Just then, the music started playing. Trevor turned away, holding Jordyn effortlessly as he moved along with the other parents in a circle around the chairs.
