Semua Bab The Breaking Point of Love: Bab 151 - Bab 160

The sky was now completely dark, and the mountain air had turned even colder. After hanging up the call, Beck turned around and walked back to their tent. He saw Celeste and Shanice huddled together, sharing food and conversation. Hence, he went into the tent and returned with two warm coats—one big, one small. He passed the big coat to Celeste. She said, "It's fine, I'm not cold…""Just drape it over your shoulder."Beck unfolded the coat and casually wrapped it around her, then made sure Shanice was bundled up in the small one. Celeste hadn't really felt cold, but with the coat blocking most of the mountain wind, it was undeniably warmer, so she chose not to refuse. They went to the bonfire party after dinner. As they approached, someone blurted out, "Oh my, this little family is almost too good-looking to be real!" Celeste paused for a brief moment and explained, "We're not a family."The group of people chuckled among themselves. They joked that even though the thr

Trevor didn't look at Celeste. He gently rubbed Jordyn's nose. "I'm busy, Jo. Be a good girl and listen to Mom, okay?""Okay," Jordyn replied nonchalantly. She cast Celeste a look and walked to her. Then, she extended her hand, signaling Celeste to grasp it. This was basically her initiating the reconciliation. Celeste took her hand, exchanged a quick greeting with Peter, and left.By the time they reached the Rodriguez residence, Martha had been there for a while. When Martha noticed Trevor's absence, she frowned. "Where's Trevor? Busy again?""Yeah," Celeste replied. Martha took out her phone angrily, wanting to give Trevor a call. On the other hand, Betty felt that there was no need for Trevor to be here after knowing Celeste and Trevor were about to get a divorce. Hence, Betty stopped Martha. "He's tied up with work, I get it. You don't need to force him to come."Jordyn and Hector went upstairs to play games. And Celeste was chatting with both Betty and Martha. M

Celeste made it clear in the divorce agreement that she wouldn't take anything. Since it didn't involve property division or custody of Jordyn, she assumed Trevor would quickly proceed with finalizing the divorce. However, it had been almost three months since she had handed him the agreement and left the country, and he still hadn't responded. With that in mind, Celeste looked up, wanting to ask Trevor about it. Just then, someone knocked on the door. Tucker's voice broke the silence. "I heard you're sick, Celeste. Are you feeling better now?"Trevor responded before Celeste could, "Come in."With all the people coming and going just now, the door was left ajar. Upon hearing Trevor's voice, Tucker entered the room. "Hi, Trev.""Hello, Tucker."Tucker's gaze settled on Celeste. They hadn't spent much time together, and though Celeste knew he was concerned, he wasn't sure what to say. So, she spoke first. "I'm feeling much better now."Tucker rubbed the back of his head.

Celeste found her book after Jordyn had left. With the book in hand, she sat by the large window on the second floor and started reading. Half an hour later, Martha brought up a bowl of herbal medicine. "Oh, there you are, Cel."Celeste put away her book and took the bowl. "You didn't have to bring it up, Grandma. I would've come down if you'd called me.""It's better for you to rest rather than walk around too much." Martha sat down on the other couch. Frustrated, she complained, "I wanted to ask Trevor to bring this up for you, but he was busy tapping away on the keyboard in the study. It's the weekend. What's keeping him so busy?"Earlier, Trevor had been walking Wynn through some project work. Hence, Celeste assumed he went to the study since it'd be easier to type on a keyboard. Remaining silent, she took the bowl and drank it. The medicine had cooled in the cold air, and Celeste downed it in just a few gulps. Martha wrinkled her brow. "That's so bitter, Cel. Take it sl

Then, Henry sighed. "Ms. Locket sure is lucky, huh?"Without waiting for a reply from Celeste and Matthias, Henry leaned in and whispered, "Even though Ms. Locket's team worked over the weekend, the project wasn't progressing much. Last night, Mr. Fleming came back to the office around 7:00 pm to help her with the key aspect of the project, and things finally started to progress."And, here's the thing."Henry continued, "Apparently, Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket spent the night in the office upstairs, and they haven't gotten out of bed yet."As his words fell, he shot Matthias a teasing look, raising an eyebrow.Matthias instantly grasped what Henry was implying. Basically, Henry was saying that last night, after Trevor and Wynn finished work, they were at the office upstairs and…Matthias covered Celeste's ears immediately. "Oh dear, what did I just hear?"Celeste had heard it all. It was a little too late to cover her ears. Besides, it was Wynn who had answered the call when
