Celeste was still buried in her work at Yoda Vision Co. when her phone buzzed with Beck's name on the screen. She answered, her voice calm and professional. "Mr. Harper?"
The moment Beck heard her voice, something in his tone softened. "Shanice hasn't seen you in a while. Are you free this weekend? Maybe we can go out for a bit?"
Celeste glanced at the data models spread across her computer screen. Numbers and deadlines flickered in her mind. "I'm tied up these next two days. Will next week be okay?"
Beck lowered his gaze, a flicker of disappointment crossing his face. "No problem. Next week, then."
"Alright." But her mind had already drifted back to the mountain of work waiting for her. She added, "Let's leave it at that for now?"
Beck paused, as if wanting to say something more, but he simply replied, "Okay."
Celeste ended the call and threw herself back into work. The hours slipped away unnoticed, and it wasn't until after ten at night that she finally left the office.
The next morning, she made her way to the Yuvenhart manor. It had been years since Gideon went abroad for treatment, back when Jordyn was just over two years old. In those days, Jordyn was adorable and had grown quite close to Gideon. He adored her – a bond so strong that even when he left for recovery overseas, parting with her had been genuinely painful. Trevor should have known this, even if he hadn't paid much attention to Jordyn back then.
Gideon had waited so long to return home. The last time he invited them over, it was clear he desperately wanted to see Jordyn. But Trevor had brought Wynn instead and left Jordyn behind. This time, Gideon had made sure to specify that Jordyn would come too. Yet when Celeste arrived, Jordyn hadn't appeared yet.
Seeing her, Gideon's face lit up with a beaming smile. "I had them prepare all kinds of delicious food for you. Make sure you eat plenty later."
Celeste smiled warmly. "Okay."
They chatted for a while, but then Gideon's expression darkened slightly. "I heard the other day that Trevor, that bastard, planned to bring Wynn to Martha's birthday banquet. Naturally, she refused and warned him that if he dared bring Wynn to her celebration and ruin it, she wouldn't show up to her own party."
Celeste paused, her coffee cup halfway to her lips.
Gideon continued, frustration creeping into his voice. "That bastard Trevor might be infuriating, but this is the first birthday celebration Martha has held in all these years. He seems to have backed down. Still, it upset her enough that she's been in a bad mood these days. If you have time, give her a call. Talk to her for a bit."
Celeste nodded slowly. "Alright."
She thought back to the last time Trevor had called and texted her, even showing up outside Yoda Vision Co. to wait for her. But after that day, he never contacted her again. She hadn't given it much thought until now. But hearing Gideon speak, she suddenly understood – Trevor must have already compromised. Knowing there was no need to convince her anymore, he had simply stopped reaching out.
Gideon added, "The others – Lincoln and the rest – won't accept them."
Of course. Trevor stepping back from the birthday banquet was one thing. But when it came to marrying Wynn, if Trevor insisted, no one could truly stop him. Gideon understood that only too well. He frowned and clicked his tongue, his mood souring before he quickly changed the subject.
They chatted for another ten minutes or so when the sound of a car drifted in from outside. Last time Trevor visited, Gideon hadn't bothered to greet him. But this time, guessing the visitor might be Jordyn, Gideon's eyes lit up and he stood quickly. "That should be Jo."
He walked briskly toward the door. A while later, Celeste followed.
As Gideon expected, it was Jordyn. She had just stepped out of the car. The moment she saw Celeste, her little face broke into an excited smile and she ran toward her. "Mom!"
Before Celeste could say a word, Gideon was already smiling at Jordyn, about to speak. But when he saw Trevor step out of the car, his smile vanished in an instant.
He snorted and gave Trevor a cold glare. "I recall saying you should have someone drop Jo off. Didn't I tell you not to come and annoy me? What are you doing here?"
Trevor looked at Celeste standing beside Gideon, then smiled calmly as he replied, "I thought you were being sarcastic."
Gideon let out another snort.
Trevor added, "Alright, don't be mad. I'm just here to drop Jo off. I'll leave in a bit."
Ignoring him entirely, Gideon turned back to Jordyn with a warm, gentle gaze. "Jo, I'm Mr. Yuvenhart Senior. We used to have a lot of fun together. Do you remember me?"
Jordyn held Celeste's hand tightly and looked up at Gideon, then shook her head.
While Gideon focused all his attention on interacting with Jordyn, Trevor's eyes lingered on Celeste for a moment. He didn't say a word. After a brief silence, he simply said to Gideon, "I'm heading out now," then turned, got into his car, and drove away.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a masterclass in quiet tension. There are no loud arguments, no dramatic confrontations, yet every glance, every pause, every unspoken word carries the weight of broken relationships. Trevor's silent presence – arriving to drop off Jordyn but leaving without a word to Celeste – speaks volumes about the distance between them. Gideon's fierce protectiveness over his granddaughter and his barely concealed rage toward Trevor adds layers of emotional complexity. And Celeste, caught in the middle, remains composed but clearly burdened by all these unresolved threads. The way Beck gently reaches out while Trevor stays silent creates an interesting contrast. This chapter feels like the calm before the storm – or perhaps the storm has already passed, leaving only the wreckage of what once was.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.6 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
With Trevor quietly pulling back from the fight over the birthday banquet, and Gideon's open hostility toward him, the next chapter will likely focus on Martha's birthday celebration. Will Trevor truly stay away, or will he find a way to attend? And more importantly – will Celeste finally call Martha as Gideon asked? There's a storm brewing beneath the surface, and I have a feeling that Martha's birthday might become the stage for a confrontation no one is prepared for. Meanwhile, Beck's invitation lingers – could Celeste be slowly opening the door to something new?
