Novel1The Scent of 352
Chapter 352
As soon as Celeste returned to her office, her phone rang.
It was a call from Jordyn.
Thinking back to what Trevor had said in the conference room-about having dinner and bringing Jordyn along-
she looked at the call and didn't answer it.
Jordyn called her three times in a row. When none of the calls were answered, she sent a message a moment
later.
“Mom, | have a fencing competition next month. Can you cwithto training tomorrow?”
When Celeste saw the message, her hand holding the phone suddenly froze.
Ever since Trevor had taken Jordyn to Andostan over two years ago, she had missed out on many aspects of
Jordyn’s life.

For instance, she didn’t really know what classes Trevor had arranged for Jordyn, or what extracurricular
activities she'd been enrolled in during those two years.
Before she had brought up the idea of divorce, Celeste had tried to ask Jordyn about these things, but Jordyn
didn’t want to talk to her.
If Jordyn hadn’t mentioned it just now, she wouldn't even have known that her daughter was learning fencing.
And the fact that she was preparing for a competition-that was something she had absolutely no idea about.
She had already missed out on so much of Jordyn’s growth.
Staring at the message, Celeste remained dazed for quite a while.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Celeste cback to herself. “Cin.”
It was Kieran. He had cto discuss work. When it cto work, Kieran was always serious.
Tomorrow was the weekend.
After finishing their discussion, he remembered he'd been wanting to ask her out but hadn't had the chance. So
after wrapping up, he didn’t leave right away and instead asked, “I saw a play a couple of weeks ago and really
enjoyed it.
“There's another performance this weekend. | was planning to go again-want to come?”
Thinking of the message from Jordyn just moments ago, Celeste shook her head and said, “I already have plans
on Saturday. I'll have to pass.’
Kieran’s eyes showed a flicker of disappointment. “I see...”
At that moment, still having not received a reply, Jordyn sent another message. “Mom, please letknow.”
Celeste saw it and picked up her phone to reply, “Got it. | will go with you to training tomorrow morning.”
Kieran saw she had something to deal with and didn’t disturb her further. He turned and left.
When Jordyn saw her mother’s reply, she was overjoyed and immediately called her,
As soon as Celeste picked up, Jordyn asked excitedly, “Mom, you finally have ttomorrow!”

“I won't be htonight,” Celeste said while staring at her computer screen. “Sendthe tand location for
training tomorrow. | will meet you at the training venue.”
Jordyn had just gotten hfrom school.
She stood in the large villa’s entry hall, looking at the few housekeepers bustling about. Then, she realized she
hadn’t seen her mom at hin a very long time.
In fact, she couldn't even remember the last ther mom had chome.
Hearing Celeste say that, she felt a little down. But then she remembered her mom would be with her at training
tomorrow, and she perked up again. “Okay! I'll have Dad send you the tand address in a bit!”
Celeste paused for a second, then responded, “Alright, | got it.”
Then she asked, “Are you hnow?”
“Just got home.”
“That's good.” Celeste paused again. “I still have work to do, so I'll hang up now. Take care of yourself, okay?”
“I willl Mom, you have to take care of yourself too!”
“Mm.”
