After grabbing a bite to eat and watching a movie together, Celeste and Jordyn found themselves strolling past an arcade. The moment Jordyn's eyes lit up, Celeste knew there was no turning back. It had been ages since they'd played games together, and Jordyn wasted no time pulling her mother inside. Trips to the mall, movies, and arcades were nothing new for Jordyn, but doing them with Celeste made everything feel extraordinary. The little girl was having the time of her life, laughing and tugging at Celeste's hand from one game to another.
But the evening held another commitment: Celeste had dinner plans with Theodore. As they left the arcade, she planned to drop Jordyn off at home before heading to the restaurant. However, Jordyn wasn't ready to say goodbye. She pouted, tugged on Celeste's hand, and pleaded, "Can't I come with you?"
Celeste hesitated. It was just a casual dinner – nothing formal. Bringing Jordyn wouldn't be a big deal, she decided. So she called Theodore and asked if he was okay with her bringing a child.
Theodore chuckled warmly on the other end. "Cel, just bring them along. I don't mind." Then, after a brief pause, he asked, "Yours?"
"Yeah."
Theodore was genuinely surprised. The last time they met, Celeste had mentioned she was married, but he hadn't expected that someone who looked so young already had a child.
About 30 minutes later, Celeste arrived at the private lounge, holding Jordyn's hand. Theodore was already there, his face breaking into a smile when he saw the little girl. "Cel, so this is your daughter? She looks just like you."
Smiling, Celeste nodded.
"What's her name?"
"Jordyn Fleming."
"Fleming?"
Theodore froze for a moment. Something about Jordyn looked familiar, but he couldn't immediately recall where he had seen her before. Then, realization dawned. He had seen the Flemings on New Year's Day. The little girl holding Trevor's hand back then was undoubtedly Jordyn.
He blinked in shock. "Your husband is Trevor?"
Celeste nodded.
And then, Theodore was at a loss for words. When she had first mentioned being married, he had wondered why someone as exceptional as her would settle down so young. After all, few could truly measure up to her. But if it was Trevor... Well, realistically speaking, in terms of background, status, and capabilities, he was probably the only real match for her in their social circle.
Theodore let out a small smile, but as his thoughts wandered, he recalled the distant look in Celeste's eyes when she first mentioned her marriage. Then there was New Year's Day – he had seen the Flemings, yet she had been nowhere in sight. It wasn't just a strained relationship. The cracks between her and Trevor ran deeper than he had imagined.
He gestured for them to sit and took out two gift boxes, handing them over. Celeste instinctively refused, but Theodore's tone was kind. "It's just a small tradition. Nothing much – take it."
With no other option, she accepted. "Thank you, Mr. Robinson." Turning to Jordyn, she prompted, "Say thank you, Jo."
Jordyn, bright and well-mannered, beamed up at Theodore. "Thank you, Mr. Robinson."
"You're welcome." Chuckling, Theodore studied her features. "She's definitely got more of Trevor's looks."
"She does."
Theodore grinned. "Whether she takes after Trevor or you, with parents like you two, she's going to turn out just fine."
Celeste lowered her gaze, offering only a faint smile without responding.
Theodore then asked, "So, has my stubborn son finally made peace with you?"
She shook her head, smiling. "If anything, things have gotten worse."
Theodore laughed outright. "Good." Completely unconcerned, he added, "He's had it way too easy. A little lesson in humility will do him some good. Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to it."
After that, their conversation drifted to other topics. Once dinner was over, Celeste and Theodore continued chatting for over an hour before finally parting ways.
With the movie outing and dinner behind her, Celeste spent the next few days at home, poring over the research materials Zachary had sent her. While she immersed herself in her work, Jordyn was well-behaved. Aside from the occasional outing with Hector and the others, she mostly stayed in her room, entertaining herself. Still, she'd call Trevor on video every day. And most of the time, Wynn was right there with him. It wasn't that Celeste made a habit of listening in, but Jordyn knew how she felt about Wynn. Whenever Wynn was around, she'd take her tablet outside rather than staying in her room.
After two or three days of deep focus, Celeste finally had a breakthrough. For the first time since receiving Zachary's materials, her ideas felt clear and tangible. That day, she worked nonstop from morning to night, so absorbed that she didn't even respond when called downstairs for lunch. Seeing this, Adeline simply brought her food upstairs instead.
Jordyn noticed her food had gone cold, and Celeste still hadn't eaten. So she called out, "Mom, eat first." Celeste merely mumbled a reply while keeping her eyes on the laptop screen, unaware she had actually responded. Jordyn tried calling her a few more times. It wasn't until then that Celeste took a break and ate her meal.
The same pattern repeated at night. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even make time to eat. Jordyn had originally intended to ask her for help with a bath, but after several unsuccessful calls, she gave up and went downstairs to ask Jamie for help instead. When Jordyn finished her bath and returned to her room, she found Celeste still glued to the laptop. She quietly climbed into bed by herself and drifted off to sleep.
Jordyn woke up, still feeling drowsy, and realized it was already morning. She got up, holding her doll, and walked to Celeste. "Didn't you sleep at all, Mom?"
Celeste replied casually, "You can sleep first. Don't worry about me."
Jordyn was at a loss for words. She had already slept and woken up, and Celeste was still sitting in front of her laptop. "Aren't you tired, Mom?"
Celeste hummed a soft reply. Noticing her frown, Jordyn thought she had disturbed her. Initially, she was going to ask if Celeste was hungry, but she held back. Quietly, she went to wash up.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a beautifully layered chapter! I loved how it started with such pure, joyful moments – Celeste and Jordyn at the arcade, the dinner with Theodore where he learns the truth about Trevor. The way Theodore reacts, knowing the cracks in their marriage, adds so much depth. And then the shift to Celeste's intense work obsession shows her driven nature, but also how she unintentionally neglects herself and even Jordyn. That final scene of Jordyn quietly realizing her mother hasn't slept, and the weight of her unspoken concern, broke my heart a little. This chapter reminds us that even in quiet moments, the bonds between these characters are being tested.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that Celeste's breakthrough will lead to something crucial in her research, but it might also force her to confront her emotional distance. Jordyn's growing independence could become a mirror reflecting Celeste's own isolation. And with Trevor constantly in the background – especially with Wynn – I sense a confrontation brewing. Theodore's playful approval of Trevor's "lesson in humility" might just be the spark that sets off a bigger clash between Celeste and her husband. Something is about to crack.
