Chapter 296
Gideon was truly angry.
He ignored Trevor completely and looked at Celeste instead “Con, Celeste. I'll take you out for a meal.”
Celeste set down her teacup and stood up. “Alright.”
With that, Gideon didn’t spare Trevor another glance and left with Celeste.
Trevor remained seated on the couch, calmly, sipping his tea. He neither got up to follow them nor tried to stop
them from leaving.
Wynn looked at their backs as they walked out. “This-"
Trevor said, “It's fine. Just give it stime.”
In other words, after enough tpassed, Gideon would accept reality and slowly start accepting her?
Gideon had witnessed the state of Celeste and Trevor's marriage during the first two or three years after they
got married. He had seen clearly from the start that Trevor didn’t like Celeste. And now, Trevor had someone else

Though Trevor had always had a good relationship with elders like Martha and Gideon, he was never someone
easily swayed by them. So, even if they disapproved of his relationship with Wynn, there was really nothing they
could do about it—and no way they could talk him out of it.
As angry as Gideon was, he could only stew in silence.
With that in mind, Gideon gently patted the back of Celeste’s hand. “These past few years... sigh.”
Celeste knew he was expressing sympathy. She gave a soft smile and said, “I've already let it go. | have a new
life of my own now, and I'm doing well. You don’t have to worry about me, Mr. Yuvenhart.”
Gideon smiled. “Good, that’s good.”
After lunch, when Celeste brought Gideon back to his manor, Trevor and Wynn were already gone.
Maybe after they had left the manor, Trevor and Wynn didn’t bother checking in on Jordyn-because as Celeste
was leaving, Jordyn called her. She looked at the call, but didn’t answer.
That evening, when Celeste went back to the Rodriguez residence for dinner, she saw an invitation envelope
sitting on the coffee table.
Opening it, she saw it was an invitation to Martha's 75th birthday celebration.
Technically, there was still stbefore Martha's actual birthday. But a few years ago, a fortune teller had
told her that she shouldn't hold a major birthday celebration within the next ten years, or she would face a life-
threatening calamity.
Martha took it seriously. So, for the past decade, she always just had a simple meal with family on her birthday-
never throwing a proper banquet.
Now that the ten-year period had passed, Lincoln, Trevor, and the others had already talked about throwing
party for her this year.

started sending out invitations.

Betty cout of her room and saw the invitation In Celeste’s hand. “It was just delivered ”
“Okay.” Celeste gave a soft nod.
Betty added, “This is the first tin a decade she’s hosting a proper birthday banquet. Technically, we should
attend no matter what, but-"
But given the situation between Celeste and Trevor, it really didn’t feel appropriate.
And honestly, she didn’t want to go either.
Celeste understood exactly what Betty was thinking-she felt the same.
Besides, Trevor had already brought Wynn to the manor. When the party came, under pressure from Martha,
there was no telling if he might show up with Wynn too.
She set that aside for now.
After dinner with the Rodriguez family, Celeste returned to her own place.
On Monday morning, she headed back to work at YodaVision as usual.
When work got busy, talways flew by and before she knew it, Thursday had arrived again.
