The Scent of 25

Chapter 25

Just then, Trevor’s phone rang. Celeste happened to glance over and saw that the incoming call displayed the word “Babe” on the screen.

She had convinced herself that she no longer cared, but after loving someone for so many years, it wasn’t easy to let go completely.

The sight of those two words stung her eyes, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Trevor noticed her reaction when he looked up, but without hesitation, he answered the phone right in front of her and spoke in a gentle tone, “Yes?”

Jordyn also noticed Trevor’s actions.

In Jordyn’s memory, Trevor only showed this kind of tenderness when speaking to Wynn. For a moment, she forgot that Celeste was there and excitedly asked, “Dad, is that Wynn?”

Trevor calmly replied, “Yes.”

Jordyn wanted to say that she wanted to chat with Wynn too but hesitated, remembering that Celeste didn’t like Wynn. She swallowed the words back, her good mood slightly dampened.
