Even Trevor, typically composed and reserved, wore an expression of admiration and awe. Next to him, Jordyn and Miles leaped from their seats in excitement.The race reached a fever pitch. Tucker reclaimed the binoculars once more, oblivious to the fact that Trevor and his group were also present.As the race paused, Wynn temporarily took the lead.Celeste asked Tucker for the binoculars again.Tucker beamed with delight. "You've fallen for CC too, haven't you? I told you, nobody can resist her!"Celeste smiled faintly without responding.She was thinking of calling Trevor. She wanted to see how he would react but then dismissed the thought as she knew he'd likely decline the call, as he always did.Still, just one last time, she thought.In the end, Celeste dialed Trevor's number and raised the binoculars again. Through them, she watched as Trevor glanced at his phone and unhesitatingly ended the call before refocusing on Wynn.His eyes held only Wynn.Celeste inhaled deeply

So, when Wynn celebrated her birthday, Trevor had Beck and the others help her celebrate. This time, when Wynn had a competition, Beck and the others also came to watch…It was said that Wynn's relationship with Trevor's circle of friends had become very close. They were so close that even when Trevor wasn't around, they would always invite Wynn to any gatherings.Beck and the others had completely accepted her as one of their own. Perhaps because of this, in the past couple of years, when they saw Celeste, they had grown more and more indifferent.In the past, Celeste had wanted to build a good relationship with them. However, they had looked down on her and never gave her a chance.She had her pride, so she didn't force the issue once they had made their stance clear. But whenever they met, and when necessary, she would still greet them politely.Nonetheless, most of the time, she was either ignored or even looked down upon. This time, Celeste didn't intend to speak up. She bypa

When Trevor returned home after celebrating Wynn's victory, it was nearly 1:00 am.Peter noticed Trevor carrying a sleepy Jordyn and asked with concern, "Why were you out so late, Mr. Fleming?"Trevor responded with a hum and offered no further explanation.After settling Jordyn into her room, Trevor returned to his own, turned on the light, and noticed Celeste's absence. He asked Peter, "She didn't come home tonight?""Mrs. Fleming? No, she hasn't."Trevor raised a brow in mild surprise.Celeste had rarely been staying at home the past few days. Frequent nights away were unusual for her. Could something serious have happened with the Rodriguez family?The next morning, Jordyn woke up beaming, still feeling the joy of her time spent with Wynn. Hugging her stuffed doll, she happily made her way to the master bedroom."Mom! Mom!" she called out cheerfully.But the room was empty.The smile on Jordyn's face faltered.Just then, Trevor stepped out of the walk-in closet, already

There was an important meeting in the morning that Trevor would also attend.When Celeste and the others had been seated for more than ten minutes in the conference room, Trevor finally walked in.The moment he appeared, Naomi gasped, and her eyes shone with admiration as she couldn't tear her gaze away from him.When the meeting officially began, she snapped out of her daze and tugged on Celeste's sleeve."Mr. Fleming is really handsome!"Celeste had only glanced up when Trevor entered the room. At Naomi's comment, she merely responded without lifting her head, "Mm."Naomi was surprised by Celeste's apparent lack of interest but quickly reminded herself that Celeste was already married and had a child.Throughout the meeting, Naomi's heart fluttered as she couldn't stop staring at Trevor. She barely heard anything discussed during the meeting.Celeste, on the other hand, was diligently taking notes on her laptop.Once the meeting ended, Trevor left first, and the others slowl

At that moment, Zeke had just arrived in the break room and paused when he overheard Celeste and Naomi's conversation.He and Jacob had always thought that Celeste wouldn't be able to leave the company. They were confident that she would find a way to stay.When Naomi took over Celeste's duties, they expected Celeste to make a move. After all, Naomi was stunning. How could Celeste let her stay so close to Trevor?However, during the past couple of days, Celeste had not only accepted Naomi but also gotten along well with her. Now, she was even willing to teach Naomi how to make the coffee Trevor liked.What on earth was going on?Celeste was oblivious to Zeke's thoughts. She was focused on finishing her work and politely turned down Naomi's offer to go out for dinner that evening.She planned to head home for a quick meal and continue researching AI-related topics.Just as she left the company, her phone rang. It was Jordyn calling."Mom, are you done with work?"Celeste got in

The others exchanged glances.For years, there had been rumors that Trevor had been married for some time, but no one knew who his wife was. Some even said he was never married at all.The truth remained unclear, and they dared not ask too many questions. Now that Trevor had casually mentioned having a daughter, many were surprised. But most didn't dare to probe.…After dinner, Jordyn continued waiting for Celeste to return home.By 9:00 pm, after taking a shower, Jordyn was still anxiously awaiting. She kept listening for any sounds outside. When she heard a car approaching around 10:00 pm, she rushed downstairs excitedly."Mom—"Her cheerful voice halted when she saw Trevor walking in instead."Dad?"Trevor handed his coat to Peter and noticed the disappointment on Jordyn's face. "What's wrong?""I thought Mom was back..."Trevor wasn't bothered by the typical "kids only care about their mom" sentiment. He paused for a moment and said, "She's not back yet?""Yeah…"He s
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 25
Just then, Trevor's phone rang. Celeste happened to glance over and saw that the incoming call displayed the word "Babe" on the screen.She had convinced herself that she no longer cared, but after loving someone for so many years, it wasn't easy to let go completely.The sight of those two words stung her eyes, and she quickly averted her gaze.Trevor noticed her reaction when he looked up, but without hesitation, he answered the phone right in front of her and spoke in a gentle tone, "Yes?"Jordyn also noticed Trevor's actions.In Jordyn's memory, Trevor only showed this kind of tenderness when speaking to Wynn. For a moment, she forgot that Celeste was there and excitedly asked, "Dad, is that Wynn?"Trevor calmly replied, "Yes."Jordyn wanted to say that she wanted to chat with Wynn too but hesitated, remembering that Celeste didn't like Wynn. She swallowed the words back, her good mood slightly dampened.She furrowed her brow and couldn't help but think, "If only Mom could

Zeke didn't expect her to agree so decisively. "You…"Celeste stretched out her hand as she said, "Thank you for taking care of me over the years."Zeke hadn't yet recovered from his surprise but still reached out to shake her hand. "It was nothing."Then, Celeste packed her things and left.Zeke was still in disbelief as Celeste walked away."Why are you zoning out?" Jacob patted him on the shoulder."Celeste left the company."Jacob paused for a moment. "Really?"He couldn't believe it.He then said with a snort, "She might be leaving now, but that doesn't mean she won't find a way to come back. I bet not long from now, she'll be back with help from Mrs. Fleming Senior."Zeke didn't say anything. Though it seemed unbelievable, he was starting to think Celeste might actually be serious about leaving after the way she had been acting recently.After leaving Fleming Group, Celeste went straight home. She didn't receive any calls from Jordyn in the next two days as the latter

Wynn didn't panic at all when she heard that Trevor was at the Rodriguez family's party.After all, Martha had such a close relationship with Betty. She'd definitely let Trevor attend Betty's 70th birthday on her behalf since she couldn't make it herself.Wynn had known this long ago. Still, she was a little upset even though Trevor was there because of Martha's order. When the crowd found out that Trevor went to the Rodriguez family's party instead of coming here, they assumed something had happened between Wynn and Trevor. Wynn remarked in a cold voice, "Madam Daniels and Madam Klein have a good relationship, and Trevor was only there as instructed by Madam Daniels."There had been rumors that the Rodriguez family and the Fleming family were on good terms.But people hadn't seen them interacting with each other before, so they only took it as a rumor.Perhaps it was true then, judging by what Wynn had said. At that moment, someone came in. They had a gift box in their

"Yes."Linda scoffed. "That's so shameless of her!"Just talking about that made her upset. "Could it be that they have a great connection, which is why such a significant person is attending her birthday?""No," Wynn replied coldly. "They just barely know each other." From her perspective, Celeste got to know Zachary through Matthias. So, the reason why Zachary was there today was probably because of Matthias."Oh, okay," Linda said.Beck and Miles were sitting at the table beside Wynn's, right behind her.Initially, Beck was quietly enjoying his meal. He paused for a moment when he heard how Zachary was at Betty's birthday party. He asked, "The Rodriguez family's birthday party?"Miles then explained, "Oh, today's the birthday of Celeste's maternal grandmother. The parties for the Rodriguez family and the Shaw family are on the same day, and the guest lists coincide. Thus, most of the overlapping guests are attending this one because of Trevor and Wynn."Miles had no prio

Celeste was sitting beside Zachary.He was still talking to Betty, and he hadn't spared her a glance yet. Celeste turned a little to Matthias. "Thank you, Matthias."She could tell that Betty was in a much better mood after Zachary came. "There's no need to thank me." Matthias shrugged. "Mr. Newman just happened to reply to me regarding the project you came up with not long ago. Then I told him about this, and he came. So, really, you should be thanking yourself."As Celeste was about to speak, she heard someone mention Trevor's name. Hesitating for a moment, she turned around, only to see Trevor at the entrance. With all eyes on him, he approached Betty with steady steps. "Happy birthday."Then, he handed the gift box to her and said, "Just in case the first gift wasn't to your taste, I brought another. I hope you like it."Betty didn't realize Trevor would attend at all. Yet his arrival didn't bring joy to her.Sure, the Shaws were shameless, but without his support,

With that, Matthias interrupted, "Can we hold off for a bit, Mr. Rodriguez? There's someone else coming, and they should be here in ten minutes."Ivan was well aware of how Matthias and Celeste were connected.Matthias had always taken care of Celeste as well. Hence, Betty and Ivan were pretty grateful to him. Upon hearing what Matthias had just said, Ivan asked, "Is he by himself? We still have empty seats at the main table if he doesn't mind joining us.""He's totally okay with it," Matthias replied. "Okay."Ivan nodded and instructed the staff to serve the other tables first, while their dishes would be served later. As the first few dishes arrived, Matthias glanced at his phone. Then, he pulled Celeste aside and said, "The person is here. I'll go get them."Celeste nodded. The moment she turned around, she heard a familiar yet icy voice. "No need, I'm here already."Celeste was stunned. She immediately turned around. "Mr. Newman?"Zachary hummed a reply.The remaini

Just then, Beck and Miles arrived. The moment the Shaws and Lockets noticed the two, they went up to them.After all, these two were anything but ordinary in Baumond. It was only natural that they held the two in high regard. Linda had already met Beck before. The moment she laid eyes on him again today, a blush crept onto her face, barely concealed by her makeup.Ruby laughed, seeing Linda's reaction. The Harpers were just as distinguished as the Flemings, and with Beck's remarkable qualities, the Shaws were more than happy to see Linda take an interest in him.With Wynn and Trevor a certainty, and now Linda and Beck potentially forming a match, the Shaws would definitely hold undeniable power in Baumond in the future. With that in mind, the Shaws showed even greater enthusiasm when talking to Beck and Miler.Wynn furrowed her brows when she noticed the Shaws' attitude toward the two men. She thought they were being too sycophantic.As friends, Wynn and Beck were e

Seeing the endless stream of arriving guests, Patricia and Mason were all smiles.It was just as what the Rodriguez family thought, they did remember Betty's birthday. No, in fact, after so many years of celebrating Betty's birthday, forgetting it was simply out of the question. Thus, it was no coincidence that they held their housewarming party today. They couldn't help but fume, thinking back to how they had planned to move across from the Rodriguez family, only for Celeste to interfere and enlist Trevor's help, throwing their plans into disarray. But Trevor later made up for it, and ironically, they ended up better off because of it. It made them even more delighted, thinking about how they had scheduled their housewarming party to clash with the Rodriguez family's event and successfully diverted their guests. "Their party must be nearly empty now, huh?" Linda stifled a quiet laugh. "They couldn't even keep their guests after all that effort. It's just humiliating at th

Some of them didn't want to cross Trevor. However, some of them were eager to establish good relations with the Lockets and Shaws. After all, the Rodriguez family had been struggling quite a bit in recent years. The Lockets and Shaws, on the contrary, had Trevor backing them up, so it was clear what the right choice was. Robert left after apologizing to Ivan. Betty and Adeline didn't pay attention to it at first. As more guests arrived and only to leave shortly after, and with the meal about to begin, fewer and fewer people remained in the banquet hall. A lot of seats were left empty, and they finally realized something was off.Frowning, Betty and Adeline walked over and asked, "Why have so many guests left? What happened?"Ivan and Celeste were at a loss for words. At this point, they could only tell them the truth. Ivan uttered, "The Shaws and Lockets have moved to Baumond, and the Shaws held a housewarming party today. Besides, they have sent invitations to most of

Jordyn didn't notice the indifference in Celeste's tone. She breathed out a sigh of relief upon hearing what Celeste had just said. Ivan handed his gift to Betty, and Celeste followed afterward. The first gift she gave Betty was an embroidery painting. "Grandma had Trevor help prepare this painting for you."Betty took the painting, unfolded it, and examined it for a while. It was exactly what she wanted. Smiling with satisfaction, she said, "How considerate of her."Next, Celeste handed the emerald jewelry set to Betty. "This is from Trevor."The jewelry set was of exceptional quality. Betty liked it a lot. However, since it was a gift from Trevor, she closed the box and put it away right after she took a glance at it. She remarked in a neutral tone, "It looks lovely. Pass along my thanks to him for me."She never asked whether Trevor would come to celebrate her birthday.She didn't care enough to ask, nor did she want to. Celeste knew Betty wasn't fond of Trevor. She'd
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 122
Basically, Trevor wasn't going to attend the celebration.Why did Celeste have to ask any further then?Thus, without adding anything, she ended the call.Celeste used to ask him every year to join her at the Rodriguez residence for Betty's birthday. However, Trevor didn't seem to realize that she hadn't asked him this year.After Celeste ended the call, he handed the phone back to Jordyn and said, "Mom will be fetching you to Granny's place tomorrow night. Make sure you listen to her on Saturday and don't go anywhere."Jordyn pursed her lips. "But…"Trevor remained silent, staring at her expressionlessly. Jordyn then realized that there was no room for discussion. Hence, she mumbled reluctantly, "Okay…"Trevor nodded. "Good girl." With a pout, Jordyn insisted, "But I want to go see Wynn on Sunday, and you have to come along.""Alright," Trevor replied with a faint smile.…On Friday night, Celeste went to the Fleming manor after work.She noticed Trevor right after she
