The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 10
Trevor didn't think much of it. He assumed that Celeste had gone back to the Rodriguez residence.As he entered the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that Celeste typically brought Jordyn with her whenever she visited Betty. But this time, she hadn't done so.Could she have gone somewhere else?Perhaps something urgent had happened at the Rodriguez residence. Flashes of Jacob's remarks from earlier that day crossed his mind, confirming his suspicions.Trevor paused for a moment but ultimately decided not to concern himself with it.The next morning, Trevor said to Jordyn over breakfast, "Your enrollment process is complete. You'll start school tomorrow morning.""Got it." Jordyn scrunched her nose. "Can you take me to school tomorrow, Dad?""I might not have time.""Alright then." Her eyes lit up. "I'll call Wynn later and ask her to take me to school."Before Trevor could respond, his phone rang. It was a call from Fleming Manor.When he answered, he heard Martha's voice come

Celeste couldn't help but find it laughable as she listened. Wynn and Trevor had met only after her marriage to him. So, Wynn was fully aware of her relationship with Trevor. There was no way Harvey didn't know that Trevor was her husband. He had definitely known about it all along.Yet, he shamelessly encouraged a relationship between Wynn and Trevor. It showed just how little regard Harvey had for her despite the fact that she was also his daughter.Trevor agreed to Harvey's request. They then exchanged a few more pleasantries. Celeste watched as Trevor waited for Harvey to get into his car and leave. Only then did Trevor get into his own car and drive away.Given Trevor's status, he rarely extended such courtesy unless it was to a few select elders of the Fleming family. Clearly, he held Harvey in high regard because he was Wynn's father.Celeste thought back to the times Trevor had met Betty and Ivan. His attitude had always been cold and indifferent. Even when she cautious

Martha sighed, feeling helpless. She thought Celeste lacked assertiveness and always let Trevor have his way. This caused her to miss out on countless opportunities to improve their relationship. That was why, after all these years, there had been no progress between them.However, since Celeste had spoken, Martha didn't press further.Once dinner officially began, the family chatted as they ate. The atmosphere was lively. Celeste, however, spoke very little and quietly focused on her meal.From the moment Trevor entered Fleming Manor until now, over ten minutes had passed. Still, he and Celeste hadn't exchanged a single word. There had been no interaction whatsoever.This was typical of their relationship. Everyone else was used to it and didn't find it unusual.When Jordyn wanted to eat something, she usually relied on Celeste. However, by now, she was accustomed to asking Trevor to get what she wanted for her instead.But when she wanted to eat shrimp, she instinctively looked

It was Teagan's voice.Celeste turned toward the source and saw both Teagan and Trevor.She stopped in her tracks.Trevor was smoking in silence.The distance between them was too far, and with Trevor standing against the light, Celeste couldn't make out his expression.Teagan said, "Honestly, I understand. I've met Wynn a few times. She's only 25 and already has a PhD from one of the top universities in the world. I hear she's also handling her family's business quite well."She's beautiful, wild, and untamed. Her brilliance and allure are rare. I get why she'd attract you. But her background is… less than respectable. Trevor, have you really thought this through? You—"Trevor cut her off. "I know what kind of woman I want."Teagan frowned. While she didn't think highly of Celeste, she wasn't impressed by Wynn either."But—" she began, but the displeasure in Trevor's eyes stopped her short.She scoffed. "Fine, fine. You're so protective; I can't even say a word. I'll shut up

The thought of Wynn's racing competition tonight and seeing her looking as cool as ever lifted Jordyn's spirits. After putting on the outfit, she grabbed her phone for another look.Almost immediately, she frowned.Normally, Wynn replied to her texts quickly. But this time, she hadn't responded at all, not even after Jordyn had finished getting ready.Could Wynn be upset?Panic bubbled up in Jordyn as she quickly typed out another message. "Wynn, are you mad at me? You know I didn't want Mom to take me to school but you! Please don't be mad at me, okay?"Even after a while, there was no reply.Celeste came back to check on her. "Jo, are you done? It's time to go down for breakfast."Frustrated, Jordyn snapped, "I know! Mom, do you have to always nag? You're so annoying!"With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed downstairs.Celeste quietly followed. She did notice, however, that Jordyn's outfit looked unfamiliar.Celeste had always been the one to prepare Jordyn's clothes. W

Sylvia looked sweet and adorable, and her outfit was perfectly suited to her age. Anyone would want to hug and shower her with affection.It was out of place to be associating her with words like "ugly" or "disgusting".Sylvia had grown up surrounded by compliments, and this was the first time someone had ever said something so mean to her.Sylvia burst into tears and clung tightly to Celeste.Celeste immediately held her and said, "That's not true, Sylvia. You're not disgusting at all. You're beautiful and so, so cute. Don't you think so too?"Sylvia's sobs softened as her spirits lifted a little. Before she could respond, Jordyn's reddening eyes filled with indignation as she watched Celeste continue to hold Sylvia and praise her."I… I don't like you anymore! I don't want you to be my mom!" Jordyn shouted before running off.Celeste quickly reached out and caught her.Jordyn's hurtful words had taken her by surprise. While Celeste was upset, she didn't want to scold her in p
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 16
Jordyn wasn't embarrassed or timid about having pushed or insulted Sylvia publicly earlier, and she didn't care what other kids thought of her.Yet as Celeste prepared to leave, she found herself reluctant to let go. "Mom…""Yes?" Celeste hugged her back, her voice warm. "What is it?""I want to—"Jordyn suddenly remembered how long it had been since she last had one of Celeste's home-cooked meals. The thought made her feel a pang of longing.But before the words left her mouth, she recalled she had plans to watch Wynn's competition that evening. Her eyes flickered with hesitation, and she let go of Celeste."It's nothing."Celeste's cooking could wait as she could enjoy it anytime. Watching Wynn's competition, on the other hand, was a rare opportunity.Without much deliberation, Jordyn made her choice."Alright, then. Hurry inside and don't keep your teacher waiting.""Okay."Jordyn finally released her hold, but before stepping into the classroom, she turned back and added

Trevor's words cheered Jordyn up, and she eagerly rattled off a list of her favorite dishes while Trevor listened attentively.When she finished, Wynn complimented her outfit."Jo, your clothes look amazing today. They suit you so well!""Really?"Wynn smiled. "Of course! How was school today? Did you get along with your classmates?"The two chatted happily, while Trevor remained mostly silent as he calmly ate at a leisurely pace.A passing waitress who was unaware of their dynamic saw the trio and mistakenly assumed they were a family. She glanced enviously at Wynn.At that moment, Jordyn saw an incoming video call from Celeste.It was the call she had requested that morning. However, she was in the middle of an animated conversation with Wynn and was reluctant to end the call.Earlier that morning, seeing Celeste hug another child had upset her.But during class, the teacher had explained that parents always loved their children the most and that every child held a unique a

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,
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 127
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
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 124
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
