The Scent of 278

Chapter 278

+25 BONUT

After grabbing a bite and watching a movie, Celeste and Jordyn passed by an arcade. Jordyn’s eyes lit up–she hadn’t played games with Celeste in ages. Without hesitation, she pulled her inside.

Trips to the mall, movies, and arcades were nothing new for Jordyn, but getting to do them with Celeste again made it feel special. She was having the time of her life.

That evening, Celeste had dinner plans with Theodore.

As they left the arcade, she figured she’d drop Jordyn off at home before heading to the restaurant.

But Jordyn wasn’t ready to part ways. She tugged on Celeste’s hand and pouted. “Can’t I come with you?”

Celeste hesitated.

Hence, bringing Jordyn along wouldn’t be a big deal.

With that in mind, Celeste called Theodore and asked if he was okay with her bringing a child.

Theodore chuckled as he replied, “Cel, just bring them along. I don’t mind.” Then, after a brief pause, he asked, Yours?”

“Yeah.”

Theodore was a little surprised when he heard that..

The last time they met, she had mentioned being married, but he hadn’t expected that someone who looked so young already had a child.

About 30 minutes later, Celeste arrived at the private lounge, holding Jordyn’s hand.

Theodore was already there. Seeing the little girl, he smiled “Cel, so this is your daughter? She looks just like your
