Martha, with her sharp old eyes, had noticed something that troubled her deeply. Celeste was no longer as proactive with Trevor as before. Gone were the days when she would reach out, initiate conversations, or try to bridge the growing distance between them. Now, she seemed… distant. Reserved. Almost like a stranger sharing a dinner table.
Martha couldn't help but sigh heavily, throwing Trevor a sidelong glance filled with disappointment. "It's all your fault!" she scolded softly.
And she wasn't wrong. Celeste had taken the initiative for so long – for months, for years – and Trevor had never once responded. Not truly. Not the way a husband should. Wouldn't any woman eventually feel disheartened and withdraw? Martha knew all too well that love, like a flame, needs fuel to keep burning. And Trevor had given Celeste nothing but cold ashes.
Trevor only smiled faintly without saying a word. That smile – so infuriatingly calm, so detached – spoke volumes. He wasn't defending himself. He wasn't apologizing. He was simply… accepting.
Celeste, on the other hand, remained silent as much as possible. Even after hearing Martha's words, she simply continued eating, showing no intention of speaking. Her face was a mask of composure, but beneath that calm surface, a decision had already been made. A decision that would change everything.
Before dinner was even finished, Trevor's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, got up, and walked away to answer it. But he returned quickly – too quickly, as if the call had been brief and decisive.
After dinner, he told Martha, "I have something to take care of, so I'll be leaving first."
Jordyn, sharp and perceptive as always, guessed immediately that the call had likely come from Wynn. She wanted to go to the hospital to see her too. "Daddy, I want to go too," she said eagerly.
"Alright," Trevor agreed without hesitation.
Martha added, "Take Cel with you. Tomorrow is Saturday. It's a good chance for you all to get out and relax."
Only then did Celeste speak, her voice quiet but firm. "Grandma, I have to meet a friend later."
Martha hesitated, sensing something off but not wanting to push. "Alright then."
Jordyn, who had been worried that Celeste might follow them, felt a wave of relief wash over her. As they got into the car to leave, she said to Celeste with a casual wave, "Mom, goodbye."
Celeste replied, her tone equally casual, "Alright, goodbye."
The car door closed. And soon, Trevor's car drove away, carrying him and Jordyn toward a different life – toward Wynn, toward the woman he had chosen over his wife.
Celeste also got into her car and left. Once she was out of the Fleming Manor, she didn't go to meet a friend. Not really. Instead, she made a call to Matthias while driving.
As soon as he answered, she got straight to the point. No pleasantries. No hesitation. "I'm divorcing Trevor. He just gave me a divorce agreement. He's dividing some assets to me. I want a lawyer to review it and check for any legal loopholes."
Matthias was in the middle of dinner when he heard this. For a moment, he froze. Then, overjoyed beyond words, he immediately said, "I'll get you a reliable lawyer right away!"
Celeste chuckled softly. "Alright." After hanging up, she drove home, her heart lighter than it had been in months. Finally, she was taking control of her own life.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jordyn and Trevor were still in the ward talking with Wynn. But Miles, always the observant one, had stepped out into the hallway to make a call. He told Beck, "Trevor is going through with the divorce."
Beck was currently out of town. Hearing this, he stopped in his tracks. "What?" The word came out sharp, almost disbelieving.
Then, after a brief pause, he asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm sure. I was there when it happened. What's there to doubt?" Miles added, "And Trevor didn't give her custody of Jo either."
Beck gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. The news hit him like a punch to the gut.
Miles continued, "But—" Before he could finish, Beck cut him off.
"I have something to do. I need to make a call." Without waiting for a response, he hung up.
"What's so urgent?" Miles muttered to himself.
But Beck had already found Celeste's number. He hesitated for a moment, his thumb hovering over the call button. Should he? Could he? He was no one to her now. Just a stranger who had once meant something. But he dialed anyway.
At that moment, Celeste had just arrived home. Seeing his call, she casually answered. "Mr. Harper, what's the matter?"
"You…" He wanted to ask about her and Trevor, but it wasn't his place to interfere. Even a simple "Are you okay?" felt inappropriate given his current position – a man who had once broken her heart, now calling to check on her?
Celeste, however, assumed he was calling to arrange a meeting with Shanice. Noticing his hesitation, she spoke first. "If it's about seeing Shanice, I have things to take care of tomorrow, so I might not be available. Could we do it the day after tomorrow or next week?"

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a quiet masterpiece of emotional tension. The dinner scene at the Fleming Manor is laden with unspoken words and buried feelings. Martha's disappointment, Trevor's indifference, Celeste's silent determination – every character is perfectly in place. The real highlight is Celeste's phone call to Matthias. That moment of finally saying "I'm divorcing Trevor" feels like a release, a breath of fresh air after holding her breath for so long. And Beck's sudden concern? Oh, the irony! He broke her heart once, and now he wants to know if she's okay. The chapter ends with a beautifully ambiguous cliffhanger – Celeste assuming Beck's call is about Shanice, while we know it's about so much more.
⭐ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars** – A deeply emotional, well-paced chapter that sets the stage for major changes. Slightly held back by the brevity of certain scenes, but the impact is undeniable.

## Next Chapter Prediction
Next chapter, expect the divorce proceedings to begin in earnest. Matthias will likely introduce Celeste to a top lawyer, and she will start dissecting Trevor's asset division. Meanwhile, Beck's unresolved feelings will push him to reach out again – but will Celeste even give him a chance to speak? And at the hospital, Wynn's growing presence in Trevor and Jordyn's lives will only solidify the cracks in the Fleming family. The storm is coming.
