When Celeste stepped out of the kitchen, she found Trevor lounging on the living room couch, buried in a newspaper. He glanced up briefly, then returned to his reading as if she were just another piece of furniture. In the old days, she would have sat beside him, content to share his silence. Now, that silence was a canyon between them.
She paused, waiting—maybe for a question, an accusation, anything about her and Matthias "bullying" Wynn. But nothing came. Trevor didn't even try to stop her when she turned and headed upstairs. Celeste's mind swirled with confusion. Why wasn't he confronting her? Did he not care, or was he simply saving his ammunition for later?
Upstairs, Jordyn stirred. Pale and weak, she padded out of her room, searching for her mother. "Mom, I'm hungry. Is the chicken noodle soup ready?"
Celeste's heart softened. "It's almost done. Are you still having a fever?"
Jordyn gave a weak grin. "Not anymore."
Relief washed over Celeste. She returned to the kitchen, her hands moving by memory—stirring the broth, checking the noodles. Five or six minutes later, she emerged with a warm smile. "Jo, the chicken noodle soup is ready."
She ladled out a single bowl and turned to call Jordyn, only to find Trevor approaching the dining table. Jordyn's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Mom, why is there only one bowl? Dad is eating with us."
Celeste froze. She didn't even know he wanted to eat. Before she could speak, Hannah, ever the peacemaker, chimed in, "I'll get another bowl."
Celeste hadn't planned to eat herself, but she'd made a larger batch. Enough for both Trevor and Jordyn. She served the soup quietly, then took her seat, feeling his presence across the table like a shadow.
Trevor removed his watch, his long fingers delicately gripping the spoon. He stirred the soup with the elegance of a man who did everything perfectly—even eating. Jordyn took a bite, and a satisfied smile spread across her small face. "I haven't had this in ages. It's so delicious!"
Hannah chuckled. "You can eat it whenever you want, dear."
"Yeah."
Celeste listened, her chopsticks hovering mid-air. She didn't speak. Neither did Trevor. The silence was thick, but somehow not hostile—just heavy with things left unsaid.
Jordyn, ever the joyful child, suddenly perked up with an idea. She turned to Celeste with a coquettish pout. "Mom, could you sleep with me tonight?"
Celeste hesitated. She had planned to decline. But looking at Jordyn's pale face, still carrying the ghost of fever, she softened. "Alright."
Jordyn beamed. She had only one bowl of soup; Trevor didn't eat much either. The pot still had leftovers when they left the dining room.
Later, despite just recovering from a fever, Jordyn insisted on showering. Celeste worried she'd catch a cold again, so she went in to supervise. After the shower, Celeste stood outside the master bedroom door, her hand hovering over the handle. She expected Trevor to have removed all her belongings—her clothes, her things, everything that reminded him of her. But when she pushed the door open, the room was exactly as she had left it.
Her daily essentials remained untouched by time. It felt as though she had never left. She stepped into the cloakroom and slid open the door. Her clothes still hung in their usual spot.
Perhaps, she reasoned, Trevor didn't want to alarm Martha. Or maybe, since they weren't officially divorced yet, he had no right to remove her things. She pushed the thoughts aside, grabbed her pajamas and a towel, and headed to Jordyn's room.
Jordyn was sitting on the bed, engrossed in her tablet. When she saw the clothes in Celeste's hands, she looked puzzled. "Mom, are you planning to take a shower in my room?"
"Yeah," Celeste replied quietly.
Shortly after she stepped into the bathroom, Trevor entered Jordyn's room. The door clicked shut behind him.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a masterclass in emotional restraint. The quiet domesticity of the soup scene is juxtaposed with the silent war between Celeste and Trevor. Their unspoken tension, Jordyn's innocent request, and Celeste's discovery of her untouched belongings all build a bittersweet melancholy. The chapter feels like the calm before a storm—a gentle reminder that love doesn't always end with a bang, but sometimes with the soft whisper of a door closing.
⭐ **Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Trevor's unexpected entry into Jordyn's room suggests he might finally break his silence. Perhaps he will confront Celeste about her relationship with Matthias, or maybe he’ll reveal a hidden vulnerability. With Jordyn as their unwilling witness, the next chapter could be a turning point—either a painful confrontation or a fragile bridge between two broken hearts.
