The evening was already thick with unspoken undercurrents when the elevator doors slid open. Harvey and his group had already turned and gone upstairs, completely oblivious to the arrival of someone who would stir the waters once more. Matthias got out of the car, his eyes scanning the parking lot, and there he was — Trevor Fleming stepping out of his own vehicle.
Matthias withdrew his gaze quickly, but not before a knot tightened in his chest. He hurried over to greet Kevin, the business associate they were meeting. Pleasantries were exchanged, and just as they were about to head upstairs, another car pulled in. Trevor had arrived.
Kevin’s face lit up as he spotted him. “Mr. Fleming!” he called out, waving enthusiastically.
Trevor’s expression remained as unreadable as ever — cool, composed, betraying nothing. He glanced at Celeste and Matthias, but there was no flicker of surprise. A faint smile touched his lips as he shook hands with Kevin, who was clearly eager to connect.
“Mr. Thatcher, when did you arrive?” Trevor asked politely.
“Just now,” Kevin laughed. “Last time, you mentioned having a meal together when you had time. How about tonight?”
Trevor’s reply was measured, almost distant. “My schedule is full today. Let’s do it in a couple of days.”
“Sure, sure, a couple of days works too,” Kevin agreed, not missing a beat.
Watching them exchange pleasantries, Matthias muttered under his breath, barely loud enough for Celeste to hear, “We only had peace for half a month, and now we’ve run into them again.”
Celeste said nothing. But the truth was, it had indeed been half a month since she last saw Trevor. Even when she visited Martha at the hospital last weekend, he wasn’t there. Over the past ten days or so, her phone had buzzed with Jordyn’s calls — especially in the last two to three days. Winter break had started, and with Trevor and Wynn too busy to spend time with her, Jordyn had grown bored. She called Celeste multiple times. But Celeste never answered.
To be fair, Trevor had kept his promise. Whatever he had told Jordyn, it worked — because even though Celeste didn’t pick up, Jordyn never showed up at the Rodriguez residence either. That alone had saved Celeste a lot of trouble.
But now, standing in the elevator together, the silence grew heavy. Kevin, ever perceptive, noticed that Matthias and Celeste weren’t speaking to Trevor. His smile turned awkward, sensing the tension.
Celeste felt Trevor’s eyes on her. She pursed her lips and, just as she raised her head, her gaze met his deep black eyes. Then Trevor broke the silence, his voice low and deliberate.
“When are you free?”
Celeste looked away, her tone cold as ice. “I’m never free.”
She didn’t even need to think — she knew this question had something to do with Jordyn. It had only been half a month since the last visit. There were still over ten days before it reached a full month. And lately, she had been extremely busy. She had no time to take care of Jordyn.
Trevor chuckled lightly, as if her attitude didn’t bother him. “The Ember Festival is coming soon.”
Celeste paused. The words hit her like a sudden gust of wind. If she didn’t take some time for Jordyn now, then during the Ember Festival… She had been so consumed with work that she had completely forgotten about that tradition.
But she kept her voice indifferent. “I don’t mind skipping a month.”
After all, she had spent quite a bit of time with Jordyn last month. What did it matter if she didn’t this month?
Trevor raised an eyebrow at her words but said nothing. Kevin, confused by the cryptic exchange, opened his mouth to ask, but the elevator stopped. Trevor nodded briefly to Kevin and stepped out, leaving without another word.
Once the elevator doors closed, Kevin turned to Celeste, curiosity getting the better of him. “Ms. Rodriguez, were you and Mr. Fleming a couple?”
“No,” Celeste replied flatly.
Kevin didn’t believe her. He thought she and Trevor had quarreled and were just saying that out of spite. Besides, he thought the two of them actually looked quite compatible. But before he could say more, his phone rang, and the topic was dropped.
After their meal, Celeste and Matthias headed downstairs with their group, only to run into Trevor and the Locket family again in the parking lot. This time, they overheard Calvin — Wynn’s brother — speaking boldly to Trevor.
“You’d better treat my sister well! If you dare bully her, I won’t let you off! Got it?”
It was Calvin’s first time meeting Trevor in person. In the private dining room earlier, when he first laid eyes on him, Calvin didn’t dare to speak so boldly. After all, Trevor carried an imposing aura — it was clear at a glance that he wasn’t an ordinary man. But Trevor had been kind to him. Recalling how his family had praised Trevor endlessly, the distance between them had melted over the course of the meal. Now, Calvin wasn’t intimidated anymore.
So he dared to throw down some tough words. But in reality, Calvin was actually very satisfied with his future brother-in-law. From his perspective, Trevor was worthy of his sister in every aspect. Not to mention, Trevor treated both Wynn and their family exceptionally well. Naturally, Calvin had no complaints.
Trevor smiled and said simply, “Alright.”
Wynn, hearing this, also smiled sweetly. It was a very heartwarming scene.
Matthias watched it all, a cold laugh escaping his lips. Celeste remained expressionless, her face a mask of indifference.
Kevin, finally understanding something, turned to Celeste. “So, you really weren’t in a relationship with Mr. Fleming?”
So that beautiful woman over there was actually Trevor’s girlfriend?
Celeste answered indifferently, “Yes.”
At that moment, Trevor and Wynn noticed Celeste and Matthias, their gazes turning toward them. But Matthias had no interest in them. He simply said to Kevin, “Mr. Thatcher, please get in the car.”
Kevin had already sensed the tension between Matthias and Trevor. Given the situation, he didn’t say much. He merely nodded politely toward Trevor before getting into the car. Celeste and Matthias followed right after. Soon, their car left the parking lot, leaving behind the echoes of a conversation that had barely scratched the surface of all that remained unsaid.

## Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating
What a beautifully layered chapter! The tension between Celeste and Trevor is palpable, and the contrast between the warm family scene with Wynn and Calvin and the cold distance between Celeste and Trevor is masterfully drawn. The unresolved emotions, the unspoken promises, the subtle glances — every moment carries weight. The Ember Festival looming adds a quiet urgency that makes you wonder what will come next. Absolutely gripping.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that the Ember Festival will force Celeste and Trevor into an unavoidable confrontation. Celeste may try to avoid taking Jordyn, but something tells me Trevor won’t let her off that easily. Perhaps Jordyn herself will make a move to bring her mother closer — or maybe a new crisis will test the fragile boundaries between them all.
