The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Tonight’s bonfire party featured stew, grilled chicken, and barbecued meat.

The chicken stew was already simmering, and the grilled chicken was prepared. A long table beside the bonfire was filled with an array of top–tier, fresh ingredients, all prepped and ready to cook.

The bonfire was already burning.

Miles and the others had taken their seats around it.

When Beck and Wynn returned, Wynn naturally sat down beside Trevor.

Miles couldn’t resist and had already started eating the marinated grilled chicken.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he was about to officially start eating but suddenly thought of Celeste.

He turned to Jordyn and said, “Jo, go upstairs and invite your mom. Tell her there’s delicious food here and ask her to come down and eat with us.”

Even though he figured Celeste would refuse, just like at lunch, it was still necessary to go through the motions.

Wynn understood his intention as well. After all, they had done their part. Whether Celeste came down or not was up to her.

Thinking this, she also said to Jordyn, “Jo, go ahead.”

Jordyn frowned, reluctant to go. Because deep down, she really didn’t want her mom to come down and join them. But with so many people urging her, she couldn’t refuse.

Just as she was about to put down her drink, Trevor spoke, “I’ll go.”

At his words, the surroundings fell silent.

Trevor stood up and left after speaking.

Miles snapped back to reality and laughed. “Uhm, yeah, having Trevor invite her would be more sincere.”

Always sending a child to fetch Celeste was indeed a bit too perfunctory.

Wynn thought the same.

Trevor was just trying to appease Martha. The fact that he went upstairs to invite Celeste didn’t mean anything.

After all, he had never had any feelings for Celeste before. There was no way he would have them now.

But Jordyn pursed her lips tightly, looking a little worried. She was afraid that if her dad went to call her mom, her mom might actually come downstairs.

After all, her mom always listened to her dad. She could never bear to refuse him.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Celeste returned to her room, placed food order over the phone, and then opened her Japtop.

She had only been focused on work for a short while when she heard the door open.

She froze for a moment, then turned her head and saw Trevor entering with a room card in hand.

Thinking he was just back to grab something, she merely glanced at him before looking away, about to refocus on

her screen.

But then, she heard him say, “There’s a bonfire party downstairs. It’s quite lively. Come down and sit for a while?”

She paused. Like Miles and the others, she assumed that Trevor coming up to invite her was just for Martha’s sake.

It didn’t mean anything. And even if it did, she no longer cared.

So, she said, “I have work to do, so I won’t be going down.” Then, turning her head slightly to look at him, she added, “Don’t worry, If Grandma asks, I’ll back you up.”

Trevor chuckled at her words, his deep, abyss–like eyes fixed on her.

Noticing his gaze, Celeste’s fingers tensed slightly on the keyboard.

Even though she had known him for years and they had been married for a long time, she often felt that she never truly understood him.

She never really knew what was going on in his mind.

In the past, she might have wanted to figure out the emotions hidden in his eyes and heart. But now…

Celeste pressed her lips together and remained firm in her decision. “Thank you for coming up to ask me, but I don’t want to go down.”
