Jordyn looked around again . After confirming that Celeste was nowhere to be seen , she left with Wynn .
Watching their retreating figures , Jorge was about to leave when he suddenly noticed Celeste standing not far to the side .
His steps faltered .
Realizing who it was , he initially decided to ignore her and walk away . But then , he noticed that Celeste’s gaze was fixed on Wynn and Jordyn .
Her expression was cold , and her eyes were even colder . In fact , the way she looked at Wynn almost felt like she was looking at an enemy .
With that kind of stare , Jorge couldn’t help but think that Celeste might actually harbor ill intentions toward Wynn .
He observed her silently , convinced that she was still holding a grudge against Wynn . So , he walked over .
Celeste was carrying quite a few things – two potted plants and several decorative ornaments . The ornaments were an impulse buy .
Ever since she moved into her current place , she had been too busy with her own affairs to decorate much , leaving her home looking rather empty .
This time , she had only planned to buy some plants , but when she saw a store nearby selling decorative pieces for display cabinets , she picked out a few .
Just as she was about to leave , she unexpectedly ran into Wynn and Jordyn again .
After they left , she was about to go on her way when she noticed Jorge approaching her .
He said , “ What are you trying to do ? ”
Celeste stopped in her tracks . “ What do you mean ? “ ”
Jorge said coldly , “ She doesn’t even care about you . You mean nothing to her , yet you’re still holding a grudge ? Don’t you think that’s pointless ? ”
“ She doesn’t care about me ? ” Celeste’s gaze turned icy . “ You really put her on a pedestal , don’t you ? ”
To Jorge , Wynn was indeed good in every way .
Before he could respond , Celeste continued , “ So ? What are you trying to say ? Are you here to warn me not to harm her ? ”
That was exactly what Jorge intended

Celeste let out a cold laugh . “ Even Trevor hasn’t said that to me . But you , Mr. Robinson , rushed over to do it … On what grounds ? Are you Wynn’s secret admirer ? ”
Jorge didn’t bother to hide his admiration and feelings for Wynn in front of Celeste .
Hearing her taunt , he replied icily , “ So , what you’re sayings – I should go remind Mr. Fleming to watch out for you ? ”
At that moment , he recalled what happened at a banquet before , when Trevor had asked Celeste for a dance . Back then , both he and Caleb felt that Trevor had approachest Celeste solely to warn her not to target Wynn .

With that thought , he added , “ Or … Do you think Trevor’s previous warning was too gentle ? ”
Celeste didn’t respond . She simply looked at him , her gaze arrying a faint hint of mockery .
Before Jorge could react , she suddenly asked , “ Are you really Theodore Robinson’s son ? ”
She hadn’t interacted with Theodore much , but in her eyes , he had the warmth of an elder while also possessing : the authority and depth of a true leader .
Aside from their resemblance in appearance , she saw nothing of Theodore in Jorge .
Then again , maybe it was just because Jorge was too blinded by his feelings for Wynn – so much so that he let his emotions cloud his judgment .
Jorge didn’t expect her to bring up his father .
Her tone almost made it seem like she knew him . But how could she possibly know his father ?
His expression darkened . “ What are you trying to say ? ”
Celeste didn’t answer . Instead , she said , “ Aren’t you going to have Trevor warn me ? Fine , I’ll be waiting . ”
With that , she turned and left without looking back .
