The Scent of 183

Chapter 183

Realizing what had just happened, Celeste’s immediate response was to push Trevor away.

“Relax,” Trevor said casually.

As if he had expected her reaction, he gripped a little firmer on her waist.

“You!”

She couldn’t pull away, and she wasn’t about attracting unwanted attention.

People didn’t do things without a reason.

She figured he must have something to say, which was why he pulled this switch.

Hence, she stopped struggling. In a cold voice, she asked, “What do you want to tell me?”

Trevor glanced down at her cool expression but didn’t seem bothered. Then, he asked in a relaxed tone, “When are you going to pick up Jo’s calls?”

“Some time later.”

Trevor smiled. “Which is like, around ten days then?”

Celeste paused for a brief moment. “Yeah.”

Even though she and Trevor were getting divorced and she didn’t have custody of Jordyn, she still had obligations as Jordyn’s mother.

Hence, she had decided to carve out one day each month just for Jordyn.

In roughly ten days, it would mark almost a month.

“Alright,” Trevor responded.

That was about all there was to say.

After all, they had nothing left to talk about.

Celeste cast him a look, signaling him to let go of her.

Yet Trevor didn’t. Instead, he asked, “How are you doing these days?”

Celeste pursed her lips. She wasn’t sure what he was up to.

“That’s none of your business.”

Whether she was okay or not was no longer his business.

It seemed like a casual question from Trevor. When she didn’t reply, he didn’t insist. Before she knew it, he had guided her off the dance floor and left.

Everyone else had no idea how Trevor and Celeste had become dance partners out of nowhere.

And when they saw it, they were all surprised.

Wynn, too, was biting her lip.

It didn’t take long for her to calm down.

Chapter 183

If Trevor was ever going to fall for Celeste, he would have done it a long time ago.

And it wouldn’t have taken until now.

When she noticed Trevor had come back, she got off the dance floor and asked, “Did you say something to her?”

Trevor replied, “It was about Jo.”

“Oh.”

Wynn knew it. Trevor wouldn’t have approached Celeste for no reason.

With that, she smiled and invited Trevor for a dance again.

Then, Trevor stepped onto the dance floor with her once more.

On the other side…

Matthias was shocked after seeing Celeste dance with Trevor.

Hearing that Trevor only wanted to talk about Jordyn, he felt a bit more at ease. “From now on, try to keep your distance with him if you can.”

Celeste nodded. “I understand.”

Just then, Caleb walked over. “Ms. Rodriguez, I’m sorry for switching partners without asking you first.”

When they swapped partners, he noticed Celeste’s dark expression. She seemed to be clearly unwilling to be around Trevor.

She didn’t want to dance with Trevor at all.

That was when Caleb realized Trevor was Wynn’s boyfriend

Wynn and Celeste seemed to have a history of conflict.

So Caleb figured Trevor sought out Celeste to talk about Wynn–maybe even to defend her.

Celeste shook her head and said, “It’s fine, and it’s not ever your fault, anyway. I’d do the same if I were you, too.”

She sounded calm and sincere.

He could tell she genuinely didn’t blame him.

When they were dancing earlier, Caleb realized she wasn’t particularly chatty or socially agile.

She was quiet and reserved. Her gaze held no ulterior motives–she saw him purely as her dance partner for the

moment.

Caleb extended his hand. “May I have another dance with you then?”
