Chapter 222
Hearing Caleb’s invitation, Celeste smiled and said, “Okay,
They followed the crowd forward
Just as they reached the railing, brilliant fireworks exploded across the riverbank, drawing gasps and laughter from the crowd, though the sounds were quickly drowned out by the thunderous bursts.
Many people took photos, while others made wishes.
Noticing that Celeste was simply watching in silence without doing anything else, Caleb asked, “Do you want me to record a video for you?”
Celeste shook her head, “No need, just watching is enough
Caleb didn’t press further.
At that moment, Wynn’s gaze swept in their direction.
They were several meters apart, but Caleb’s tall stature and striking appearance made him easy to spot.
Having met him a few times before, they were at least acquaintances.
Wynn was about to mention him to Trevor, who was holding Jordyn, and go over to say hello–when she suddenly saw the person standing partially obscured behind Caleb,
It was Celeste.
Her smile froze instantly.
Why were they here together? Events like this were usually enjoyed by family members or couples.
Aside from a single dance at a banquet, Celeste and Caleb had barely any interaction. So, why were they here together?
She looked again and confirmed that it was indeed just the two of them.
“Wynn, look! It’s so beautiful!” At that moment, Jordyn noticed Wynn looking elsewhere.
Not wanting her to miss the spectacular scene, she bent down, cupped her hands around Wynn’s ear, and excitedly shared her joy.
Wynn turned back and smiled. “Yes, I see it.”
Trevor glanced at her and noticed she seemed distracted. “What’s wrong?”
Wynn quickly replied, “Nothing.”
Jordyn was so captivated by the fireworks show that she hadn’t looked in Celeste’s direction, and thus, didn’t notice her.
But when Trevor turned to speak to Wynn, his eyes happened to land on Celeste.
Since Caleb was talking to her, Celeste’s gaze was also turned in their direction.
Their eyes met across the distance.
Celeste froze for a moment, pressed her lips together, and looked away.
Just then, Caleb turned back toward the fireworks, his profile becoming visible to Trevor.

Seeing Trevor take notice of Caleb and Celeste, Wynn said, I didn’t expect them to come watch the fireworks together.”
“Mm,” Trevor responded indifferently and withdrew his page.
