Jordyn nodded . “ You’re here ? ”
Maurice sat down and started working on the puzzle with her while saying , “ I went to the movies with my mom just now . I saw your mom there too . ”
Jordyn had been concentrating on her puzzle , but when sheard this , she immediately looked up . “ You saw my mom ? Where ? ”
“ At the cinema ”
Jordyn pursed her lips . “ That’s impossible ! My mom is super busy right now . She doesn’t have time to go to the movies . You must have mistaken her for someone else .
Maurice frowned , unhappy . “ I didn’t . That was definitely your mom . ”
“ You’re lying . ” Jordyn refused to believe him .
Just last night and this morning , she had called her mom , and her mom didn’t even have time to answer . How could she have time to go to the movies ?
“ I’m not lying , ” Maurice insisted . Feeling doubted , he described what he saw in detail , “ And your mom wasn’t alone . She was with another kid – about your height , super cute ! ”
Up until now , Jordyn hadn’t taken Maurice’s words too seriously . But as soon as she heard this , she exploded .
She grabbed a handful of puzzle pieces , jumped up , and threw them forcefully at Maurice . “ Impossible ! I dare you to say that again ! ”
Maurice had been telling the truth . He had no idea why Jordyn wouldn’t believe him and was even getting mad at him .
He had been a spoiled kid too and wasn’t one to back down easily . Furious , he grabbed a handful of puzzle pieces and threw them back at her . “ I’m not lying ! ”
“ You
“ What’s going on ? ”
Their argument was so loud that even the guests in the living room could hear them .
Queenie immediately walked over .
Maurice , feeling wronged , had tears welling up in his eyes I was just saying-
“ Hmph ! ”
Jordyn’s eyes were also red , her lips trembling . Without waiting for Maurice to explain , she turned and ran toward the living room .
“ Dad ! ”
Seeing her , Trevor had no choice but to catch her as she threw herself into his arms .
After giving a brief word of apology to the guests , he carried Jordyn out of the living room . Once they were a little

farther away , he asked , “ What’s wrong ? ”
Jordyn was about to repeat what her cousin said , but before he could , the thought of her mom spending time . with someone else someone cuter than her – made her es well up with tears .
Meanwhile , Queenie and Teagan had already gotten the fullstory from Maurice .
Queenie asked Teagan whether she had seen Celeste at the inerna , but Teagan admitted she didn’t notice and wasn’t sure if what Maurice said was true .
After thinking for a moment , Queenie said , “ I believe Maurice wasn’t lying . It’s very possible that you really did see your cousin’s mom .
“ But it’s also possible that you just saw someone who look like her – It might not have actually been your Aunt Celeste . ”
Yesterday , after Lincoln returned , he had noticed that Trever had taken Jordyn to visit Martha at the hospital , but Celeste hadn’t come . Curious , he had asked about her .
Because Jordyn had been there , Trevor had only said that Celeste was busy and couldn’t make it .
Other than Martha , no one in the Fleming family knew that Trevor and Celeste were getting divorced . Over the years , the family had seen how much Celeste cared about Trevor ,
So , when Trevor said she was too busy , everyone had assured something urgent had happened with the Rodriguez family , preventing her from coming home .
Now , hearing Maurice’s story , both Queenie and Teagan believed he might have been mistaken .
After all , as far as they knew , there were no young children in the Rodriguez family close to Jordyn’s age .
And if Celeste really had the time , it didn’t make sense for her to go to a movie Instead of coming back to see the family .
It just wasn’t logical .
