Fated to Fall

Chapter 528

---- Chapter 528 Celeste didn't expect Trevor to suddenly take her hand, and for a moment she was caught off

guard. But she didn't think much of it. She brushed his hand away and said calmly, "I can walk on my own."

Without another glance at him, she headed toward the sofa. 1 Trevor wasn't upset even after being treated so

coldly. 2 Instead, he chuckled softly, and once Celeste sat down, he joined her-deliberately choosing the spot

right beside her, even though the sofa around the coffee table was large and spacious.

Celeste hesitated for a second but said nothing, simply lifted her cup and glanced over at Jordyn, who was trying

out the instruments on the other side. 1 Trevor picked up his teacup as well. After a sip, he set it down, not

looking at Jordyn but at Celeste. Just as he was about to speak, her phone chimed with a message. It was from

Kieran. He had sent her a short video, followed by a message. "The experts say it's a once-in-30-years meteor

shower. They said a lot of people will be camping out tomorrow night to watch it. My friends and | are going too.

Wondering if you and ---- Mr.

Yoder might be interested?" It had been a while since Celeste went out anywhere with family or friends. Whether

she caught the meteor shower or not wasn't the point-the thought of being outdoors, surrounded by that kind of

lively atmosphere, actually sounded nice. She was about to reply when she noticed Trevor had turned his head,

eyes falling on her phone screen. She froze and looked at him. But Trevor didn't even look guilty-he simply gave

a faint smile, pulled his gaze back, and casually topped off her tea.

He was sitting so close that even without leaning over, he could probably see her screen anyway. Without a

word, she shifted a little farther from him before replying to Kieran. "I'm definitely interested." Right then,

another message cin-not from Kieran this time, but from Caleb. 2 "Long tno see." A moment later,

another one followed. "Are you free to hang out tomorrow?" Celeste stared at it, hesitated a couple of seconds,

then typed back. "Sorry, | already have plans." ---- Caleb didn't seem upset. He quickly replied, "That's fine. I'll

ask again next time." Celeste was stunned.

Kieran sent two more messages, and she chatted with him briefly before setting her phone down. After the initial

glance at her phone, Trevor hadn't looked again. He hadn't tried to close the distance between them either.

When she finally put her phone away, he smiled lightly. "Done chatting?" Celeste sipped her water, ignoring him.

But he didn't mind Jordyn, after trying out the drums, had already decided on a set. The moment she said so,

Trevor pulled out his card and paid for it without hesitation. Once the purchase was done, Celeste wanted to

leave.

Jordyn had actually hoped Celeste

would ride back with them, but when

Celeste mentioned she had plans the

next day, she could onl acceptiiand

dFove back alone. But just a few

minutes after they parted, she

suddenly heard a --- faint buzzing

from the backseat. The sound was

unmistakably a phone vibrating. 2

Since both Trevor and Jordyn had

ridden in her car earlier, there was no

doubt that it had to be one of theirs. 4
