MainNovelChapter 545
After watching for a moment, Lilian looked away with a faint
smile. "Something like that." 1
Lilian and Eric chatted with their friend for a bit longer, and after
seeing her off, the two of them finally got into the car. 1
Once seated, both Lilian and Erin felt they'd probably
overreacted just now.
Just because they saw Trevor and Celeste getting along a little
better, they'd immediately jumped to conclusions—assuming
maybe something was going on between them, or that Trevor
hadn't finalized the divorce because of her. 1
But thinking about it now, Jordyn was older already. So, it was
perfectly normal for Trevor to be a little more polite to Celeste,
for the child's sake.
They'd probably let their imagination run a bit too wild. 4
Meanwhile, after leaving the restaurant, Trevor drove Celeste
and Jordyn to a private orchard to enjoy a fruit-picking activity
and have a small "harvest experience".
He had called ahead, so the moment they arrived, the manager
cout to greet them. 2
"Mr. Fleming, Ms. Jordyn.”
After greeting the two of them, the man looked toward Celeste
and smiled politely, as he did not recognize her. "And may |

It seemed Trevor and Jordyn had chere often before. 2
Before Celeste could reply, Jordyn had already tugged her
forward, bubbling with excitement.
"Mom, the peaches and pomegranates here are huge and super
sweet! Dad said they even have rare kinds you can't find in the
market! You'll love them! Let's go pick pomegranates first, okay?"
Celeste smiled. "Alright." Then she turned to the orchard's
manager and added politely, "My family name's Rodriguez." 2
The manager's eyes flickered slightly in surprise when he heard
Jordyn call her "Mom," but he hid it well, smiling warmly. "Ah,
Ms. Rodriguez, welcome.” 1
Jordyn dragged Celeste happily up the hill, while Trevor followed
at an easy pace behind them
The manager stayed close, giving quiet instructions for
refreshments and fruit baskets to be brought over.
The orchard was vast—trees heavy with ripe fruit, the air rich
with sweetness. It was hard not to smile just looking around.
Still, Celeste couldn't help noticing something.
Despite how big the orchard was, there didn't seem to be any
other guests around, just staff here and there.
Trevor must've caught the sthing, or maybe he noticed her
hesitation because he asked the manager, "Pretty quiet today,
isn't it?”
"Yes, sir," the manager nodded quickly. "We had guests earlier,
but once we got word you were coming, we cleared the area.
Not many people are left in the orchard now." 2
Trevor simply hummed in acknowledgment, not asking further.
A little later, Jordyn spotted what she swore was the biggest
pomegranate in the entire orchard. She stretched for it but
couldn't reach the fruit. However,

Beaming, Jordyn ran back to Celeste, clutching the fruit in both
arms. "Mom! This one's the biggest and the prettiest! I'll ask Dad
to open it for us, okay?”
Before Celeste could respond, Trevor had already taken it,
walked over to a shaded pavilion, and began cutting it open. 1
He slipped on gloves and worked with calm, practiced
movements. It was clearly not his first tdoing this,
Watching him, Celeste remembered that he and Jordyn often
chere together before. So, she quietly looked away. 4
A few minutes later, Trevor placed a bowl of ruby-red
pomegranate seeds in front of her and Jordyn.
"Thanks," she said politely, taking it.
Maybe it was because of the special varieties or the way they
were cultivated, but the fruit fotiy

ones sold outside. It was juicier and more fragrant.
Afterward, Jordyn ran all over the orchard, pulling Celeste along,
picking basket after basket of fruit. 1
The flavor really was exceptional. Just as Celeste was
wondering if they were allowed to take shome, Trevor
glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "You can take them
