Chapter 255
“Beck?”
Trevor, Miles, and the others were momentarily stunned when they saw Beck abruptly stand up.
Noticing the strange expression on his face, Trevor asked, Did something happen?”
Beck snapped back to reality, his gaze lingering on Trevor and Wynn for a moment before he slowly shook his head. “No, it’s nothing ”
With that, he sat back down.
Linda hesitated, then said, “Beck, 1-
But Beck seemed not to hear her. Instead, he turned toward Shanice and asked warmly, “Shanice, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”
Shanice nodded. “Yes,”
She ran over, took two sips of water from Beck’s cup, then scurried back to chat with Jordyn again. Earlier, they had been talking about the little toy Jordyn had brought for her.
After drinking the water, Shanice returned to Jordyn’s side and handed her a figurine. “I bought this when I went to the movies during the New Year’s holiday. It’s for you.”
Jordyn was delighted and accepted it with surprise. “You went to the movies during New Year’s too?”
“Yeah! My uncle and aunt took me,” Shanice said happily.
“After the movie, we played some arcade games. My aunt is really good at games! But my uncle and I had something to do, so we had to leave early.
“Uncle Tucker took me to see a movie that morning too,” Jordyn said, a little wistfully.
“But he was in a hurry to meet up with his friends, so we went straight home afterward. I didn’t even know you could buy figurines there.”
Realizing she had missed out on getting a figurine, Jordyn felt a bit disappointed.
Then, hearing Shanice praise her aunt’s gaming skills, she couldn’t help but say softly, “My mom is really good at games too.“!
“Then next time, I’ll bring my aunt, and you can bring your mom! We can play together,” Shanice suggested cheerfully:”
As she spoke, she noticed Trevor watching them.
Jordyn noticed too. “Dad, what is it?”
Trevor smiled slightly. “Nothing, go on with your chat.”
“Okay.”
After ordering the food, Miles suddenly asked, “By the way, Beck, how’s your company’s collaboration with YodaVision going? Still running smoothly?”
Beck replied, “Pretty good.”
Miles raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. “Oh? No unexpected problems?”

Chapter 255
Wynn had been intently reading her book, but at this, her fingers froze slightly as she turned the page.
Having known each other for years, Beck naturally understood that Miles was referring to whether Celeste had caused any trouble or made any mistakes.
He noticed that Trevor was also looking over and seemed interested in the tople as well.
Lowering his gaze slightly, Beck replied, “No.”
Miles was surprised. “Really? Not even one?”
“Mm.”
