The night had passed, but the shadows of Martha's scheme still lingered. Celeste had expected something unusual from the soup the night before, but what she hadn't anticipated was the sheer audacity of it all. It wasn't just any kind of drug – Trevor had recognized its effects immediately and, clever as ever, had seen right through the ploy. He hadn't drunk a single drop. Celeste couldn't help but frown. For Martha to go this far... it was shocking, even by her standards.
But before Celeste could speak, Martha let out a dramatic, dissatisfied sigh.
"Sometimes, it's not a good thing for a grandson to be too smart," Martha muttered, shaking her head. "Sigh. I was hoping for another grandchild. Cel, if you have time, put in more effort with Trevor, alright?"
Celeste was left utterly speechless. What could she possibly say to that? Even though Trevor had agreed to help her yesterday, she knew deep down that there was no future for them. The thought of anything happening between them last night was a disaster waiting to happen. As for having another child? That was impossible. Absolutely impossible.
Just as these heavy thoughts weighed on her mind, Jordyn came downstairs. The moment Celeste saw her, her expression cooled slightly. The reminder of Jordyn's admiration and affection for Wynn stung more than she cared to admit.
Breakfast was a quiet affair. Trevor, as if by habit, naturally took the seat beside Celeste. Yet neither of them initiated any conversation. The silence between them was thick, filled with all the words left unspoken.
Yesterday, Celeste had taken Jordyn to school. Today, Jordyn asked Trevor to take her. His response was simple, almost too simple: "Alright."
Martha, ever the matchmaker, glanced at Celeste and suggested, "Trevor, why don't you take Cel along too? You both work at the same—"
Celeste interrupted quickly, "No need, Grandma. He has a lot of business engagements and isn't always at the company. It's inconvenient for me since I don't have a car."
But Martha wasn't having any of it. "So what if he has engagements? If you get off work and don't have a ride home, just call the driver ahead of time to pick you up."
Before Celeste could argue further, Martha made the final decision. "It's settled."
Celeste was speechless. She turned to Trevor, but he didn't say a word. His silence meant agreement. So with a heavy heart, she had no choice but to ride with Trevor and Jordyn.
Jordyn was already familiar with getting into the car, and because both her parents were taking her today, she was in an especially good mood. Conversely, Celeste couldn't even remember the last time she had ridden in Trevor's car. The awkwardness was palpable.
Jordyn got in first. Just as Celeste was about to follow, Trevor suddenly spoke. "Sit on the other side."
Celeste paused mid-step, a wave of embarrassment washing over her. But she walked around the car and got in from the other side as the driver opened the door for her. Now, Jordyn sat between her and Trevor.
Trevor seemed busy, responding to messages on his phone. Celeste kept her gaze forward, refusing to let her curiosity betray her. But Jordyn, being the curious child she was, leaned into Trevor's arms and peeked over his phone screen.
"Oh, it's Wynn."
Trevor gave a neutral-sounding grunt in response, still looking at his phone.
Perhaps remembering that Celeste was present, Jordyn stole a couple of quick glances at her, then turned back to Trevor's screen, refraining from mentioning anything about their conversation. The awkward tension in the car grew even heavier.
After a while, Jordyn got bored and climbed out of Trevor's lap, opening the car's storage compartment. Celeste hadn't intended to look, but her peripheral vision happened to catch the contents inside.
There, nestled in the compartment, was a tube of lipstick. A small women's lipstick.
Celeste's heart clenched. Her eyes fixed on that tiny object, and a cold realization settled in her stomach. Wynn's presence was everywhere – even in the space that was supposed to be hers.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a masterclass in subtle tension. Every glance, every pause, every unspoken word carries weight. The lipstick in the car is a brilliant, heartbreaking detail – a small object that speaks volumes about Trevor's lingering connection with Wynn. Celeste's quiet suffering is palpable, and the family dynamic with Martha adds a layer of bitter irony. I felt every ounce of Celeste's discomfort and resignation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
That lipstick is not just a random item. It's a symbol of Wynn's lingering shadow over Trevor and Celeste's fragile arrangement. Will Celeste confront Trevor about it? Or will she swallow her pain once again, knowing that her place in his life is nothing more than a convenient lie? And with Martha pushing for another child, the pressure is only going to mount. I predict a storm is coming – and it's going to break before anyone is ready.
