The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 78
Betty was turning 70 next month. Celeste was discussing with Ivan how they should celebrate Betty's birthday. Betty had no interest in their plan. "No need for anything extravagant. Having a meal together as a family is enough."Adeline added, "It's my 70th birthday. We should celebrate it in a big way."Celeste and Ivan thought the same too. Since it came from the grandchildren's kindness, Betty gave in to their suggestion. Jordyn still had to go to school tomorrow. Thus, after having dinner together, Celeste left the Rodriguez residence with Jordyn. After she arrived at the Fleming Manor, Jordyn got out of the car and ran into the house, beaming with joy. Celeste stayed in the car as she said to Jordyn, "Take a bath and rest early. I've got things to do, so I'll get going now."Jordyn's smile froze. "Huh?"She returned to the car and rested her face on it. Furrowing her brows, Jordyn asked, "Are you busy, Mom?"Celeste answered without changing her expression. "Yep.

In short, Trevor expected Celeste to take care of Jordyn over the weekend.For the past two years, Trevor had been the one to spend more time with Jordyn, regardless of the reasons. Whether it was due to personal plans or professional commitments making it inconvenient for Trevor to bring Jordyn along, the responsibility now fell to Celeste when he wasn't available.Celeste returned to the villa.During dinner, she asked Jordyn, "Where do you want to go this weekend?"Jordyn thought for a moment, then shook her head. "There's nowhere in particular I want to go."Seeing her expression, Celeste knew Jordyn wasn't uninterested in going out but would rather spend her weekend with Trevor and Wynn. With neither of them around, nothing seemed to excite her.Celeste didn't call her out on it and instead asked, "How about horseback riding?"Jordyn's face lit up at the suggestion. She hadn't ridden in a long time and was genuinely intrigued. She nodded eagerly. "Yes!"The next day, Celes

As Celeste drove away from the equestrian center, she found herself unsure of where to go.Lottie and Matthias had their own plans, and while she considered going back to the Rodriguez residence, the thought of returning alone without Jordyn made her hesitate—Betty would only grow more concerned for her.These thoughts swirled in her mind as she passed a wetland park. Families were camping, couples were enjoying time together, and young adults were bringing their parents out for a relaxing day.Seeing their happy, loving interactions, Celeste couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy and an ache deep in her chest.After driving for a while longer, she suddenly pulled over.She picked up her phone, hesitating for a long moment before finally dialing a number.When the call connected, she asked, "Hello, Dr. Harrison. How is my mother doing?"An hour and a half later, Celeste arrived at Harmony Nursing Home.Standing in the courtyard, her gaze fell on a frail, vacant-looking Isabell

The kite flew successfully up into the sky, and Celeste and Shanice smiled brightly.While watching Celeste's smile, Beck's gaze darkened slightly.Noticing his gaze, Celeste asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?""Nothing," he replied simply.Celeste didn't press further and led Shanice a little farther away. Beck stayed nearby, keeping his promise not to intrude.When they got tired of flying the kite, Celeste and Shanice either moved to the lakeside to fish or crouched by a vendor's small pond, studying the little fish swimming inside before trying to catch them with small nets.Soon, it was midday.Beck hadn't prepared any food since he only intended to take Shanice out for a stroll. As lunchtime approached, he saw Shanice getting hungry, so he suggested eating at a small nearby restaurant.Having spent a relaxing couple of hours, Celeste felt much better than earlier and didn't refuse his suggestion.During the meal, Celeste mostly chatted with Shanice.Seeing how well they got

Beck looked at Trevor, paused briefly, and then accepted the offered glass. "Thanks."The two clinked their glasses and started chatting while sipping their drinks.After a while, Trevor gave Beck a second glance.Beck raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"Miles interjected, "You're acting a little off today."Trevor chuckled softly, silently agreeing with Miles' observation.Beck remained calm, and his tone sounded flat as he retorted, "Am I?"Miles raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you?"Beck took a small sip of his drink without responding.Just then, someone approached to greet them, cutting the conversation short.After the person left, Beck checked the time. Worried that Shanice might be hungry, he was about to head over to her when she and Jordyn returned on their own."Uncle Beck, can I have one of those little cakes over there?" Shanice asked, pointing at the dessert table.Shanice tended to develop allergies, so there were many foods she couldn't eat. Beck said, "Sit here,
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 83
Beck remained silent, which made Miles assume he didn't want to say anything because it wasn't serious yet.Knowing he wouldn't get an answer from Beck, Miles chuckled and crouched down to ask Shanice, "Shanice, how many times have you seen the lady who had lunch with you today? Do you know her name?Beck's grip on his glass tightened instantly. "Miles!"Shanice didn't understand the adults' intentions. She wasn't very familiar with Miles, but since he was asking about Celeste, she thought about it seriously and answered without hesitation, "Three times!"Miles continued, "And what's her name?"When Beck and Celeste met earlier that day, he didn't even address her as "Ms. Rodriguez." So Shanice, unable to recall her name, turned to Beck for help."Uncle Beck, what's her name?"Beck lowered his gaze. "Next time you see her, you can ask her yourself."Shanice beamed. "Okay!"Miles muttered under his breath, "So stingy."Beck ignored him.Meanwhile, noticing how much Jordyn lik

Celeste wasn't surprised to hear Wynn answer the call. After all, Trevor and Wynn were already so close—practically inseparable.So what if she answered his phone?Celeste remained calm. "I need to speak to Trevor."Wynn, already knowing it was Celeste on the other end, replied coldly, "He's in the shower. If you have something to say, you can tell me."Tell her? Well, this matter did concern Wynn.Ivan saw Wynn's maternal uncle and Oliver Shaw's wife, Ruby, in the neighborhood today. However, Harvey had likely purchased the villa across from them.If Harvey had bought that house, it was probably meant as a gift to Wynn's grandmother and his current mother-in-law, Dorothy Adams.So, if Celeste told Wynn about this, would she stop Dorothy and the others from moving in?No, she wouldn't.Besides, Celeste didn't believe that Wynn had no idea Oliver's family was planning to move into the house right across from the Rodriguez residence. Which meant telling her would not only be poi

"Okay!" Jordyn happily ran upstairs, her footsteps light and quick.Celeste had just finished shutting down her laptop and tidying up when she stepped out of the master bedroom. Before she could react, Jordyn threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly. "Mom!"Celeste only patted the top of her head without hugging her back.Jordyn didn't notice, too excited as she chattered away. Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps made Celeste look up, and her gaze locked onto Trevor's.His face was expressionless, while hers remained calm.Looking down at Jordyn, Celeste said, "Go have Hannah help you with your bath. Mom needs to talk to Dad."Trevor stopped walking upon hearing this.Jordyn had spent two fun-filled days outside and was in a great mood. Though she was reluctant, she didn't argue and obediently went to her room to have Hannah help her wash up.Celeste turned to Trevor, who was casually leaning against the wall, occupied with his phone. "Can we talk in the room?

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

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,
