Chapter 6

The next day, Celeste unexpectedly ran into Trevor at the company. She hadn’t known that Trevor and Jordyn had returned to the country. Caught off guard by their sudden encounter, Celeste froze mid–step.

Trevor also seemed slightly surprised to see her, but he assumed she had just returned from the business trip and didn’t think much of it.

He passed by her coldly, his face expressionless. As usual, he treated her like she was a stranger and turned to enter the building

In the past, if Celeste had found out that he’d suddenly come back, she would have been overjoyed. Even if she couldn’t throw herself into his arms in such a scenario, she would have been very happy and excited. Her eyes would light up as she greeted him.

Even if Trevor remained indifferent, she would have smiled and wished him good morning enthusiastically.

But now, Celeste merely glanced at his handsome face before lowering her eyes. There was no longer any trace of the joy and excitement she once felt.

Trevor didn’t notice any of this and was already walking away.

Watching his tall and composed figure disappear into the building, Celeste wondered when he had returned. Since he was back, perhaps the matter of their divorce could soon be addressed.

Having resolved to go through with the divorce, Celeste didn’t dwell on him further. After she returned to her workstation, she quickly immersed herself in her work.

Half an hour later, Zeke called her and instructed her to do something. “Prepare two cups of coffee and take them to Mr. Fleming’s office.”

In the early days of her marriage, Celeste had learned that Trevor enjoyed coffee. In hopes of winning his favor, she had spent a great deal of effort studying how to brew it perfectly. Her efforts had paid off. After tasting her coffee, Trevor began to specifically request it, both at home and at the office.

When she first realized he genuinely liked the coffee she made, Celeste had been thrilled. She naively believed it was the first step toward gaining his approval.

But she had underestimated his dislike and wariness of her. While he liked her coffee, that was all he liked. His attitude toward her remained cold and distant.

Once the coffee was prepared, someone else would pick it up for him.
