The Scent of 49

Chapter 49

Trevor didn’t show up for a long time, which made Martha angry and Jordyn unhappy.

Celeste, however, remained calm as if nothing had happened. She peacefully made tea for Martha and said, ” Maybe something urgent came up, and he couldn’t get away.”

Jordyn called Trevor several times, but no one answered.

The next morning, when Celeste woke up, there was no one beside her. Jordyn had disappeared somewhere.

After washing up, Celeste left her room and looked around, but she couldn’t find her.

When she asked, she found out that since Trevor hadn’t come, Jordyn had found the place boring and asked someone to take her down the mountain early in the morning to play.

Since she didn’t want to disturb Celeste’s rest, she hadn’t informed her right away.
