The Scent of 66

Chapter 66

Hearing Jordyn’s words, Celeste was momentarily brought back to her thoughts.

Yesterday, when she fell, Trevor didn’t help her.

When she got hurt, he acted indifferent.

He behaved that way not just because he didn’t care about her but also because he didn’t want Wynn to misunderstand.

In his heart, Wynn’s thoughts and feelings were what mattered most.

Whether Celeste lived or died didn’t concern him.

Otherwise, how could he have been so cold when he saw her fall and get injured?

With this thought, her expression turned indifferent. Just as she was about to decline, Trevor spoke first.

“Ask your Mom,” he said to Jordyn.

Jordyn turned to Celeste. “Mom, Dad wants to know if you want to talk to him.”

Celeste pressed her lips together briefly before responding, “No, I’m busy.”

“Oh,” Jordyn relayed this to Trevor. “Dad, Mom said no.”

Trevor simply replied, “Okay”

Jordyn said, “Okay, Mom. Bye.”

“Bye.”

After hanging up, Jordyn set down her phone and turned to Trevor. “Dad, I think Mom’s upset about something, she said. There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

Trevor glanced at her. His tone was indifferent. “Oh? Is that so?”

“Yeah. I don’t know why, but I just got that feeling”

“Okay.”
