The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 69
Matthias paused. "What? This is such a coincidence."Trevor replied calmly, "It is."Matthias said, "There are a lot of us. Mr. Fleming, why don't you take the elevator first? We'll wait for the next one.""Sure. See you next time.""See you."The elevator doors closed, leaving Celeste, Matthias, and the others to wait for the next one.When the elevator arrived, Celeste's phone rang as they stepped inside. It was Jordyn calling.After excusing herself from the others, Celeste answered, "Hello?""Mom, are you off work? When are you coming home?"Ever since Celeste injured her ankle, Jordyn had been calling her daily to check in. When she heard yesterday that Celeste's ankle had healed, she had asked when Celeste would be coming home.Celeste had been too busy with work to promise anything yesterday. Now, hearing Jordyn's question again, she said, "I just finished up. I'll be home soon."By the time she ended the call, the elevator had reached the ground floor.Henry, who wa

Celeste agreed to it. Jordyn then asked Celeste to send her to school tomorrow. Celeste promised she would too. She hadn't seen Jordyn for almost ten days since visiting the hot spring retreat. Thus, she stayed at the villa that night. But she didn't sleep in the master bedroom. Instead, she wanted to stay in the same room as Jordyn. The last time Celeste stayed with Jordyn was when Jordyn was sick. However, Jordyn wasn't sick this time, and she didn't even ask Celeste to stay with her to sleep. Jordyn noticed Celeste was showering in her bathroom. The latter seemed like she wanted to stay here for the night. Jordyn found it odd that Celeste chose not to sleep in the room she shared with Trevor. She actually liked sleeping with Celeste as it felt cozy and warm to cuddle up with her. So, Jordyn didn't voice her question. Since Celeste was staying with her for the night, Jordyn had to be more careful when she said goodnight to Wynn. She didn't want Celeste to fin

"Shanice."Beck walked over to Celeste and took the little girl from her. Just then, Beck noticed how Shanice was completely soaked. He paused for a moment. Staring at Celeste, he asked, "How did she…"Celeste didn't know that this little girl was actually his niece as well. She explained, "She fell into the pool, and I pulled her out.""Thank you," Beck responded. "You're welcome," said Celeste. "Please help her change into dry clothes, in case she catches a cold."Beck nodded in agreement. He looked at Celeste and wanted to say something, but his niece's cries interrupted him. Shanice kept sobbing as if she was scared out of her wits. Thus, Beck comforted her and walked into the elevator after giving Celeste a quick nod. Celeste went back to the pool afterward. After soaking in the hot spring, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and went to the buffet area. Before she could finish her meal, Beck appeared in front of her. He was holding Shanice's hand. "Mind if

However, when Matthias saw how Celeste greeted the man, he felt that they seemed to know each other. "He's Beck Harper.""Beck?" Matthias was surprised. "Aren't you two not that close? How did you both end up at the same table?""His niece fell into the pool just now and I saved her, and he brought his niece over to thank me."Matthias nodded. "I see."Celeste told Beck that she was with her colleagues. Thus, Beck assumed the person who had greeted her earlier was just one of her colleagues, so he didn't turn around to check. After Celeste and Matthias walked a little further away, Beck turned around, only to see a tall young man walking beside Celeste. From the way he looked from behind, he seemed like a good match for Celeste. Beck could tell that they had a good relationship as they were walking closely to each other. "Uncle Beck…"Upon hearing Shanice's voice, Beck came back to his senses. "Are you done eating? Let's head back to our room then.""Okay," Shanice repl

Feeling embarrassed, Celeste's face flushed immediately. She adjusted the collar that Shanice had tugged. Beck's expression darkened in that instant. After he snapped back to his senses, he turned around and shifted his gaze. The nanny, who had been standing aside, was mortified as well. Luckily, they were the only ones there; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward. The nanny quickly helped Celeste adjust her clothes. Celeste was reserved, and she had never revealed so much of her body to any man other than Trevor. What made it worse was that the man before her was Trevor's good friend. That made her especially uncomfortable. After adjusting her clothes, she uttered in an unnatural tone, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."Only then did Beck turn around and face Celeste. "I'm sorry."Shanice knew she had done something wrong and thought she had upset Celeste. She looked at Celeste with teary eyes and softly apologized, "Ms. Rodriguez, I'm sorry…"

20 minutes later, Trevor came back with Jordyn. Martha's gaze went past Trevor and fixated on Jordyn. Grinning, she waved at Jordyn. "You're back, Jo!""Hi, Nana." Jordyn ran toward Martha. After Martha had hugged and ruffled her hair, Jordyn finally walked over to Celeste. "Hi, Mom."Celeste hummed a reply. When she was hugging Jordyn, she noticed the faint scent of Wynn's perfume on Jordyn's clothes. She didn't mention anything about it. Instead, she only lightly pushed Jordyn away. Trevor sat beside Martha and placed a box before her. "This is a token of apology."It was a pack of Coffea Arábica that Martha liked a lot. Besides, it was rare on the market, and hard to get even for a high price. Martha knew that Trevor was apologizing for not showing up at the hot spring retreat previously. She let out a huff. "You've got me covered, but what about Cel? Did you get her anything as an apology?"Trevor remained silent while glancing at Celeste.It was just a quick look. I

Celeste bathed Jordyn and blow-dried her hair.Jordyn was quietly looking at Celeste, who was blow-drying her hair. She suddenly realized Celeste wasn't as talkative as before.Back then, Celeste would keep the conversation going with various topics. Celeste noticed how Jordyn was gazing at her. It looked as if Jordyn was lost in thought. Celeste asked, "What's wrong?"Jordyn shook her head. "Nothing."She must be overthinking. Or perhaps, Celeste wasn't in the mood to talk.After her hair was dried, Jordyn rolled on the bed. "Mom, are you staying with me for the night?"Celeste paused for a moment before answering, "Do you want me to stay with you, Jo?""I'm okay with it! But Mom, you haven't been with Dad much lately. Don't you want to sleep with Dad?""Right. I'll go back to my room later on."Celeste and Trevor still hadn't completed their divorce paperwork. If Jordyn didn't ask her to stay and she insisted on it, it would cause a huge fuss once Martha knew about it.
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 76
Trevor's words were definitely not meant for Celeste. For all these years they were married, Trevor had never once hugged her in his sleep, let alone given her a morning kiss.Thus, Celeste was certain that Trevor had mistaken her for Wynn. She pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.Trevor was still asleep.Staring at Trevor, Celeste swallowed the bitterness welling up inside her. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled away from Trevor. She was trying to escape his embrace. With how tightly they were pressed together, her slightest movement was bound to disrupt his sleep.Then, it was just as expected—as she removed Trevor's hand from her waist and sat up, Trevor opened his eyes. She was about to pull her legs back.Their eyes met at that exact moment.Trevor woke up completely. Once he grasped the circumstances and realized he had hugged the wrong person, he paused for a brief moment and shifted so his legs were not entwined with hers anymore.Celest

After watching Jordyn and Beck leave, Trevor and Wynn also got into their car and headed to the restaurant.A few minutes after they arrived in their private dining room, Zachary also arrived."Mr. Newman." Seeing Zachary push the door open, Trevor and Wynn both stood up to greet him.Zachary showed no surprise upon seeing Wynn.Wynn politely reintroduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Newman. My name is Wynn Locket. We met before at the technology exhibition—""I know." Zachary's expression remained neutral as he briefly shook her hand.After he had sat down, Wynn took the seat beside him and said, "I greatly admire you. I've always hoped for the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss the AI industry face-to-face.""Mm."At that moment, Trevor's phone buzzed. He stood up and said to them, "I need to take a call. You two go ahead and talk."Wynn nodded.After Trevor had stepped out, Wynn picked up the menu and handed it to Zachary. "Mr. Newman, shall we order first and discuss t

It wasn't until noon, when it was time for lunch, that Matthias and Celeste finally got a chance to take a breather.At that moment, Celeste's phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Lottie, asking if she wanted to go skiing with her in the afternoon.Celeste replied via voice message, "I have things to do today, so I won't be going. You go ahead and have fun.""Alright then."In the evening, while Celeste stepped out of Zachary's study to get some water, Lottie sent her another message.This time, it was a few photos. And the people in the photos were none other than Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, Beck, and Shanice.Then, Lottie sent another message: "My friends and I were having such a great time skiing, but then we ran into them. Totally ruined the mood!"Celeste only clicked on one photo. Once she confirmed who was in them, she didn't bother looking at the rest.Seeing Lottie's complaint, she calmly replied with a voice message, "Just enjoy yourselves and ignore them."Lottie qu

Perhaps guessing the reason for Celeste's hesitation, Beck said, "I can guarantee you that personal matters will never interfere with business between me and your uncle."Hearing this, Celeste asked, "Are you sure?""I'm sure."Celeste knew Ivan's company was in a difficult situation. So, after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Alright.""Let me know when you're free, and I'll arrange a time to meet.""Alright," Celeste replied.At that moment, Beck looked at her dark hair, slightly tousled by the cold wind, and said, "The night wind is chilly. You should head inside."Celeste paused. Those were the exact same words Trevor had said to her just moments ago.She nodded without saying anything else and got into her car.Beck remained where he was.As her car passed him, Celeste rolled down the window, nodded to him as a farewell, then stepped on the gas and drove away.Only after watching her car disappear into the distance did Beck get into his own car and leave.Betty, Ivan
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 133
Jordyn wrapped her arms around Celeste's neck, burying her small face against it to shield herself from the cold wind.Celeste's clothes were soft and warm, and Jordyn snuggled into her embrace, rubbing her face against her neck with enjoyment.Trevor was always punctual. By the time Celeste carried Jordyn to the parking lot, his car had pulled in.Seeing them, the car stopped right beside Celeste.Even though her dad had arrived, Jordyn didn't get down from Celeste's arms. Instead, she playfully said to Trevor, who had lowered the car window, "Dad, carry me inside."Trevor didn't say anything. He simply got out of the car and took Jordyn from Celeste's arms.Happily, Jordyn swung her legs in the air while nestled in his hold.As Trevor leaned in to take her, Celeste caught a familiar scent—Wynn's perfume.When he had been sitting beside her earlier, he hadn't smelled like this.This meant that after leaving them, he had gone to the Shaw family.Trevor looked at her and said,

Zachary said, "Sure."Trevor nodded and turned to Celeste. "Are you going home tonight?"Celeste had still been going over the conversation between Trevor and Zachary in her head. When he suddenly spoke to her, she paused for a moment before responding, "No."Trevor nodded again. "Got it." Then he stood up and said, "I'll come by later to pick Jo up."That meant he was leaving.Celeste replied coldly, "Got it."Trevor didn't say anything else to her. Instead, he walked over to Betty and said, "Madam Klein, I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."Betty didn't stand up, and her tone was equally cold, "Sure. I won't see you off."Trevor didn't seem bothered by her indifference. He turned to Ivan, gave him a slight nod as a form of greeting, and then left the banquet hall.Outside the hotel, Beck had just stepped out of his car when he saw Trevor walking out. His movements stalled for a brief moment.Trevor quickly got into his car and drove off.Beck watched but re

Neither Celeste nor Trevor spoke again.Celeste's younger cousins had rarely seen Trevor before. Now that they were seeing him in person, they couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.As someone who had held a position of power for years, Trevor exuded authority effortlessly, even without trying. When he noticed their gazes, he glanced at them briefly.Unable to meet his eyes, they instinctively looked away, not daring to stare any longer.Trevor showed no reaction to this, nor did he make any effort to exchange pleasantries. He simply shifted his gaze away, calm and indifferent.Trevor was the man Celeste loved. She had thrown herself into this love headfirst, and after all these years, she still couldn't escape.Given the way Trevor had treated his own niece for so long, it was impossible for Ivan not to harbor resentment toward him.However, what could he do?The Rodriguez family was powerless against Trevor.Now that Trevor was here, as the host, Ivan had no choice bu

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,
