Celeste said, "I have to go to work now. Your granny isn't feeling well these days and needs rest. Once she's feeling better, you can go visit her."
Although Betty had never truly blamed Jordyn for being close to Wynn, ever since learning that Isabelle's health had also started deteriorating, it felt like half her spirit had been drained.
If she were to see Jordyn now and be reminded of how close she had gotten to Wynn, it would probably only worsen her mood.
When Jordyn heard that Betty was sick, she looked genuinely concerned. "Huh? Granny is sick? Is it serious? Mom, why didn't you tell me?"
Celeste paused for two seconds before replying, "I didn't want you to worry, that's why I didn't tell you."
She then gently pried off Jordyn's hands, which were wrapped around her. "It's getting late. I have other things to take care of. You need to take good care of yourself."
Jordyn didn't want her to go, but seeing how busy Celeste seemed, she reluctantly let go. But as soon as she did, she felt upset again.
"Mom, why are you so busy all the time now? You're even busier than Dad. When will you have time for me?"
"I'm not sure either."
As she said that, Celeste remembered that the divorce was about to be finalized. She thought it was time to stop hiding it from Jordyn. However…
If Trevor intended to marry Wynn after the divorce, he'd surely find a way to tell Jordyn himself.
So there was no need for her to bring it up directly.
Jordyn looked down sadly. "...Alright. Mom, you always say that lately."
Celeste knew that too. It was the best excuse she could give.
With that, she said again, "I'm leaving now."
"Okay."
