As Celeste stepped out of the kitchen, she caught sight of Trevor lounging on the couch in the living room, engrossed in a newspaper. He briefly glanced her way before going back to his reading.

Celeste paused. In the past, she would have sat nearby and spent time with him without disturbing him. But now, they had nothing to say to each other.

Reflecting on this, she turned and headed upstairs, with Trevor making no attempt to stop her. Celeste felt a twinge of confusion. She had expected him to confront her and Matthias about “bullying” Wynn. Yet, he’d remained silent.

Jordyn woke up as Celeste went upstairs. She looked weak and came out of the room to look for Celeste. “Mom, I’m hungry. Is the chicken noodle soup ready?”

Celeste replied, “It’s almost done. Are you still having a fever?”

Jordyn grinned. “Not anymore.”

Celeste felt relieved and returned to the kitchen. After five or six minutes, she emerged with a smile, announcing, “Jo, the chicken noodle soup is ready.”

Celeste ladled the chicken noodle soup into a bowl and glanced at the door. She was surprised to see Trevor approaching as well.

Jordyn asked, “Mom, why is there only one bowl? Dad is eating with us.”

Celeste was unaware that Trevor wanted to eat. Before she could speak, Hannah smiled and said, “I’ll get another bowl.”

Celeste hadn’t intended to eat it herself, but she’d decided to prepare a larger batch. Since Jordyn didn’t eat much, there was more than enough for both Trevor and Jordyn.

Once Celeste served the chicken noodle soup, she quietly sat down to enjoy her meal. Meanwhile, Trevor removed his watch, delicately holding the spoon to stir the soup. His elegant manners were pleasing to observe.

After Jordyn took a bite, a satisfied smile spread across her face. “I haven’t had this in ages. It’s so delicious!”

Hannah chuckled. “You can eat it whenever you want.”

“Yeah.”

Celeste listened and paused without speaking. Trevor, sitting across from her, was also silent.

Jordyn was delighted. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She asked coquettishly, “Mom, could you sleep with me tonight?”

Celeste planned to decline at first. Yet, upon noticing her pale, bloodless complexion, she agreed. “Alright.” Jordyn had one bowl of soup, and Trevor didn’t eat much either. The chicken noodle soup in the pot was left unfinished when they left the dining room.

Jordyn liked to stay clean. She insisted on showering despite having just recovered from a fever. Celeste was worried she’d catch a cold again, so she went in to supervise her.

After her shower, Celeste hesitated before entering the master bedroom. Trevor was not there. She had expected him to have removed all her belongings. Yet, when she looked around, she realized the room remained just as she had left it.
