The Scent of 154

Chapter 154

Trevor didn’t look at Celeste. He gently rubbed Jordyn’s nose. “I’m busy, Jo. Be a good girl and listen to Mom, okay?”

“Okay,” Jordyn replied nonchalantly. She cast Celeste a look and walked to her. Then, she extended her hand, signaling Celeste to grasp it.

This was basically her initiating the reconciliation.

Celeste took her hand, exchanged a quick greeting with Peter, and left.

By the time they reached the Rodriguez residence, Martha had been there for a while.

When Martha noticed Trevor’s absence, she frowned. “Where’s Trevor? Busy again?”

“Yeah,” Celeste replied.

Martha took out her phone angrily, wanting to give Trevor a call. On the other hand, Betty felt that there was no need for Trevor to be here after knowing Celeste and Trevor were about to get a divorce.

Hence, Betty stopped Martha. “He’s tied up with work, I get it. You don’t need to force him to come.”

Jordyn and Hector went upstairs to play games.

And Celeste was chatting with both Betty and Martha.
