The Scent of 41

Chapter 41

When Trevor and Miles arrived at the private room in the restaurant, Wynn and Jordyn were already there.

Wynn asked, “What’s making you smile so happily?”

Miles smiled and said, “Nothing, I just ran into someone quite interesting.”

After dinner, Trevor and Jordyn went home.

Getting out of the car, Jordyn happily ran upstairs, calling out, “Mom, Mom…”

Hannah heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen, Mrs. Fleming hasn’t returned.”

“Huh?” Jordyn was disappointed. “Why has Mom been so busy lately?” Then, she went upstairs, grumbling

Seeing Trevor standing still, Hannah asked, “Mr. Fleming?

Trevor shook his head. “It’s nothing.”

Then, he went upstairs as well.

That night, Trevor noticed that Celeste hadn’t returned.

The next morning, when Jordyn woke up, she thought she would get to eat the breakfast Celeste prepared again.

Seeing the breakfast on the table that didn’t look like Celeste’s cooking, she frowned. “Mom didn’t get up to make breakfast?”

“Mrs. Fleming is not home.”

Jordyn found it odd. “Where did Mom go? Did she go back to Granny’s house again?”

“Probably.” Since Celeste hadn’t said anything, Hannah didn’t dare to make any guesses.

Jordyn looked at Trevor. “Dad…”

Trevor said leisurely, “If you want to know, call her and ask yourself.”

“Then I’ll ask tonight.”

On the other hand, Celeste went to the company after finishing breakfast in the morning.

When she arrived, Matthias was about to discuss the development of a new product with her when his phone rang.

The person on the other end asked, “Did your company offend the Fleming family?”

“What?” Matthias was stunned for a moment and looked at Celeste before putting the call on speakerphone.

“Someone from the Fleming family wants to make trouble for your company, but we blocked them on our side.”

Celeste froze upon hearing this, her fingers clenching into a fist.

Since the banquet that night, Trevor had not come after her and Matthias for bullying Wynn. She had assumed he didn’t want to pursue the matter.

It turned out, he wasn’t ignoring it–he just couldn’t be bothered to talk about it. Instead, he chose to take action to show her that since she had targeted Wynn, he would make her pay the price!

Matthias understood the situation now as well.

He patted Celeste’s hand. “Don’t worry, our company has strong ties with the government. They won’t be able to touch us.”

“Mm.”

Thankfully, that was the case. Otherwise…

With Trevor’s power and wealth, even if YodaVision wasn’t completely destroyed, it would suffer a heavy blow.

Trevor was really protective of Wynn!

Matthias grew a little worried and asked, “If they can’t touch YodaVision, will they go after the Rodriguez family?”

Celeste shook her head. “No.”

With Martha around, Trevor wouldn’t make a move against the Rodriguez family so easily. He still had to give Martha some respect.

“That’s good…”

As she was about to get off work in the evening, Celeste received a call from Jordyn. “Mom, when are you coming home? I’m so hungry.”

“Didn’t you ask Hannah to make you something?”

“But I want to eat your honey garlic spare ribs.” She hadn’t gotten to eat the dish she’d ordered last time, so she was craving it even more now.

Celeste didn’t want to go over.

She rubbed her temples and hadn’t even replied when Jordyn added, “Dad went on a business trip. I’m so bored. Mom, hurry up and come home.”

Trevor went on a business trip?

Celeste paused. She was about to divorce Trevor, so he wasn’t her concern anymore.

But she was still responsible for taking care of Jordyn until she turned 18.
