Chapter 79
In short, Trevor expected Celeste to take care of Jordyn over the weekend.
For the past two years, Trevor had been the one to spend more time with Jordyn, regardless of the reasons. Whether it was due to personal plans or professional commitments making it inconvenient for Trevor to bring Jordyn along, the responsibility now fell to Celeste when he wasn’t available,
Celeste returned to the villa
During dinner, she asked Jordyn, “Where do you want to gothis weekend?”
Jordyn thought for a moment, then shook her head. “There’s nowhere in particular I want to go.”
Seeing her expression, Celeste knew Jordyn wasn’t uninterested in going out but would rather spend her weekend with Trevor and Wynn. With neither of them around, nothing seemed to excite her.
Celeste didn’t call her out on it and instead asked, “How about horseback riding?”
Jordyn’s face lit up at the suggestion. She hadn’t ridden in a long time and was genuinely intrigued. She nodded eagerly. “Yes!”
The next day, Celeste took Jordyn to the equestrian center.
After changing into her riding attire, Celeste heard Jordyn chatting with the instructor, Samuel Kraft. With her back to Celeste, Jordyn said, “My dad and one of my aunts are amazing at horseback riding. They’re so cool! It’s such a shame they couldn’t come today.”

Samuel noticed her first and greeted, “Ms. Rodriguez.”
Celeste nodded. Samuel asked, “Shall I call someone else over to assist you?”
“Sure,” Celeste replied.

Jordyn was led away by Samuel, while Celeste moved to a separate arena.
The instructor assigned to her initially thought she was a novice. Watching Celeste mount the horse with practiced ease, he couldn’t hide his surprise. “You’re an experienced rider, Ms. Rodriguez?”
“Somewhat,” Celeste replied.
After a short guided session, she took the reins into her own hands. With a snap of the whip, the white horse let out a sharp neigh and galloped forward.
After completing several laps, Celeste finally dismounted and went to check on Jordyn.
As she approached Jordyn’s area, she suddenly stopped in her tracks about ten yards away.
It was Trevor and Wynn.
They had come to the equestrian center too.
Jordyn was joyfully clinging to Wynn’s leg. Her excitement was evident as the three of them chatted happily. Soon, Jordyn and Wynn mounted a horse together, with Jordyn sitting in front and Wynn behind her. Trevor,

meanwhile, rode another horse beside them.
The two horses walked side by side, their riders laughing and talking. From a distance, they looked every bit like a happy family of three.
Celeste watched their figures fade into the distance. They didn’t notice her, and she eventually averted her gaze, turned around, and left.
