One of Miles‘ companions asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I think I saw someone I know,” Miles replied.

He and the others had grown up with Trevor and knew about Celeste’s affection for him.

To be frank, Celeste was beautiful in her own right. But her reserved nature made her unremarkable. Hence, she was just not Trevor’s type.

Because Trevor kept his distance from her, they too looked down on her. They hadn’t seen Celeste many times, and even when they did, they rarely greeted her.

In truth, Miles couldn’t quite remember what Celeste looked like. He wasn’t even sure if he had indeed seen her. But even if it had been her, it didn’t matter to him.

He said nothing more and returned to the private room.

Celeste didn’t notice Miles,

After leaving the restaurant, she took Lottie home and stayed over to take care of her.

When Lottie woke up and saw Celeste, she hugged her gratefully. “Thanks for last night. I owe you dinner!” Celeste had already prepared breakfast. She patted Lottie’s head and said, “Go wash up before the food gets cold.” Lottle clung to her, burying her face in Celeste’s waist. “Cel you’re so soft and smell so nice. Hugging you feels amazing!”

Celeste was at a loss for words.

After freshening up, Lottie came to the table and saw the delicious breakfast Celeste had made. She felt incredibly lucky, thinking that whoever married Celeste would have hit the jackpot.

But upon remembering Celeste’s marriage to Trevor, she worried about hurting her feelings and kept her thoughts to herself.

Lottie sat down and started eating her breakfast while scrolling through her phone.

Moments later, her expression changed. She looked up at Celeste. “Is Trevor back in the country?”

“Yes,” Celeste replied.

Lottle handed her the phone. It showed a post from Miles‘ social media feed, featuring several photos from their gathering the night before.

The caption read: “Happy birthday to the beautiful Wynn!”

Though the post was about Wynn’s birthday celebration, four or five of the nine pictures featured her and Trevor together. In one particularly striking photo, they were cutting the cake together, both holding the same crystal

knife.

As for Jordyn, she was absent from all the photos. This was likely to prevent Trevor’s grandmother, Martha Daniels, from finding out about the gathering. After all, Martha, who was close to Betty, had never approved of Wynn because of what happened between Isabelle and Wyn’s mother.

If Martha discovered that Jordyn was close to Wynn, she would undoubtedly be furious.

To an outsider viewing the photos, it would seem like Trevor and Wynn were a couple. It was clear that the birthday party had been meticulously arranged by Trevor for Wynn.

Recalling the cold treatment she had received on her own birthday just weeks earlier, Celeste averted her gaze.

Lottie looked at her worriedly. “Cel-

“It’s fine. What happens between them has nothing to do with me anymore,” Celeste said, handing the phone back to Lottie. “I’ve already asked Trevor for a divorce.”

“What?” Lottie was flabbergasted. “You… You initiated the divorce?”

“Yes.”

Lottie had never despised Trevor. On the contrary, she used to admire him and even harbored a small crush on him. It wasn’t surprising, as Trevor was extraordinarily accomplished.

Celeste had graduated from Trellis College when she’d just turned 18 after skipping three grades. She had quickly founded a tech company and earned several patents. These were achievements that seemed almost superhuman to Lottle.

But Trevor had reportedly graduated from college at 13. He then pursued further studies abroad, during which he founded several companies, all of which became publicly listed. All of these were achieved before he even turned

20. 20.

His companies spanned industries like technology, medicine, entertainment, and tourism. Later, while founding more companies, he took over Fleming Group and elevated it to even greater heights with apparent ease.

In their social circles, Trevor was universally respected. Moreover, he had exceptional looks. So, it wasn’t surprising that Celeste–a genius herself–had fallen for him. However, Trevor was merciless to those he didn’t give a damn about.

After Lottie reflected on how he had misunderstood and disregarded Celeste’s love for him over the years, she had completely lost any admiration for him.

She had always known how deeply Celeste loved Trevor and had often advised her to leave him. Yet, Celeste always shook her head without saying a word.

Therefore, Lottie couldn’t quite believe that Celeste would take the initiative to divorce Trevor.

Pushing her breakfast aside, Lottie looked at Celeste with concern. “What happened?”

For Celeste to want a divorce after loving Trevor so steadfastly for so many years, something significant must have occurred.

After a moment of thought, Celeste replied, “It wasn’t anything major. I think I’m just exhausted after accumulating way too many disappointments over the years. I decided it was time to let go.”

Lottie knew Celeste well enough to understand that once she made a decision, she wouldn’t waver–even if she hadn’t fully moved on from Trevor yet.

She hugged Celeste and comforted her. “It’s okay. Leaving him might be the best thing for you.” “Yeah”
