The Scent of 242

Chapter 242

Celeste murmured a reply.

Jordyn paused, realizing that Celeste might not know who Shanice was, and quickly added, “Shanice is my friend. –she calls Mr. Harper her uncle.”

Celeste responded softly, noticing how eager she was to share. “What did you guys do?”

“We explored a maze!”

Celeste listened without much reaction, but Betty’s expression grew stern.

When Trevor took Jordyn back, she thought he would be looking after Jordyn himself.

It was only now that she realized Trevor wasn’t taking care of Jordyn himself. Instead, he was focused on dating Wynn and would rather leave her with someone else than let Celeste care for her.

Betty’s face soured.

Jordyn had no clue what Betty was thinking.

Then, she added, “Mr. Harper asked me to stay for dinner, but I want to come back, so I called you.”

Celeste nodded. “Did you thank him then?” she asked.

“Yes, I did!” Jordyn replied cheerfully.

Celeste didn’t ask any further.

Since Jordyn had finished her homework, she stayed in the living room with Celeste and Betty after she finished her meal.

Sitting beside Jordyn, Betty asked, “Jo, do you want to stay here at Granny’s for a longer time?“.

Before Celeste could reply, Jordyn chimed in, “I’d love to!”

“Jo, you made a promise to me, so no take–backs! You have to stay for at least a week.‘

“Awesome!”

Celeste, however, furrowed her brows.

Pleased, Betty patted Jordyn’s hand affectionately.

”

While Jordyn was engrossed in her game, Betty said to Celeste, “There’s a difference when you’ve raised a child yourself. You see, Jo is still very attached to you.”

Upon hearing that, Celeste just smiled.

Jordyn scooted closer, asking Celeste to play with her.

Celeste stared at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to stay here?”

She had a feeling that while Jordyn agreed without hesitation now, she might change her mind in a few days and want to go back to Trevor and Wynn.

Jordyn didn’t catch on to what Celeste was implying right away.

It only dawned on her two seconds later. “Of course, I’ve promised Granny!” she replied.

Hence, Celeste remained silent.

Jordyn’s eyes lit up as she recalled something. “Oh! I forgot to tell Dad. I’ll give him a call now.”

Trevor picked up the call almost immediately.

When he heard what Jordyn had said, he simply responded, ‘Got it. If you need anything, just give me a call, and I’ll have it sent over.”

“Okay.”

Seconds later, Jordyn hung up the call.

Betty had initially feared that Trevor wouldn’t allow Jordyn to stay.

For a moment, she wanted to prevent Jordyn from making the call, but she knew she couldn’t.

Noticing Jordyn’s bright mood after the call, she asked, “So, he said yes?”

“Yeah!” Jordyn replied cheerfully.

As her words fell, she asked in confusion again, “Why wouldn’t he?”

Jordyn then turned to Betty and muttered, “Dad is super nice to me. He usually says yes to whatever I want.”

Betty was at a loss for words all of a sudden.

Celeste didn’t interrupt their conversation either.

When it was about time, she led Jordyn upstairs to take a bath.
