Worried that they might get bumped into by other people, Beck stayed close to them so he could protect them.
However, the crowd was just too large today.
They had only been skiing for a little over an hour when two girls accidentally bumped into them.
Shanice was fine, but Celeste ended up crashing directly into Beck.
He instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her securely into his embrace.
Pressed against his broad chest, Celeste froze for a moment and immediately felt uncomfortable. She tried to push him away, only to realize that her foot hurt.
Beck didn’t let go. “Did you twist your ankle?”
“I think… yeah.”
He called over a staff member to help Shanice and then bent down and picked Celeste up.
She had assumed he would let the staff assist her. So, being suddenly lifted into his arms, she was caught off guard and instinctively resisted. “Put me down, I—”
Beck interrupted, “The doctor is already waiting. Let’s take care of your foot first.”
Celeste hesitated but stopped struggling.
Inside the lodge, Beck set her down.
The waiting doctor examined her foot and found that it was just a mild dislocation. After a quick adjustment, she was fine.
Beck asked, “Do you still want to ski?”
“I’m fine, I can continue.” Since she was already here, she didn’t want to dampen Shanice’s excitement.
Hearing from the doctor that her leg was fine, Beck didn’t stop her.
Meanwhile, from a distance, someone was watching them,
“Linda? What are you looking at?”
Linda squinted. “I think I just saw someone I know.”
The man in the distance looked a lot like Beck from the side But he was with a woman and a child. That couldn’t be Beck, could it?
Just as she took two steps forward to get a clearer look, the man put his hat and goggles back on and walked away.
Over the next hour, Celeste and Shanice got bumped into twice more, but neither of them got hurt.
When Beck reached out to steady her, holding her hand, Celeste lightly pulled away and said, “I’m good now, thanks.”
Only then did Beck release her wrist.
At noon, they left the ski resort and went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. He handed her the menu, letting her choose the dishes.
It was then that Shanice suddenly remembered something and asked, “Ms. Rodriguez, what’s your first name?”

Chapter 143
“Celeste. My full name is Celeste Rodriguez. You can call me Ms. Celeste.”
Shanice nodded. “Ms. Celeste.”
Celeste smiled and gently patted her little face.
Perhaps she was too exhausted from skiing–before they even finished eating, Shanice started dozing off. Beck picked her up and wiped the corner of her mouth.
Celeste had also finished eating. Setting down her utensils, she said, “Shall we call it a day?”
“Alright.” But instead of getting up immediately, Beck looked at her and asked, “Can I invite you out again next time?”
Celeste replied, “Sure.”
He had helped her today, and since Shanice needed her company, returning the favor a few times seemed only fair.
“Thanks.”
“You don’t have to thank me.”
Since Shanice was already asleep and she felt they had nothing more to talk about, Celeste didn’t say much and simply turned to leave.
Beck stood there watching as she drove away. Only after a while did he get into his own pre

car.
“Yes.” Holding her in his arms, Beck suddenly said, “Oh, Shanice, from now on, just call her ‘Ms. Rodriguez,‘ okay? Also, keep her name a secret for now. Don’t tell anyone else, alright?”
Shanice obediently nodded. “Okay.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Another saviour debt?? Seriously?...
I just need an effing glimpse to what goes around in Trevor's mind. Author - do something about it please There is not even a single mention about what Trevor really wants - interested in Celeste? If yes, then why there is no reaction on seeing people courting Celeste...
I love the story bt really death slow... Y cant you post 5 to 10 chapters per day????...
This reads like a daily diary account...and not a story with a planned plotline. Author, we would share if you took the time to start developing the story, rather than dragging it out with outlines. no depth, no character development, not even the overused tropes are present, just a daily itinerary. We want you to do well..but you have to put the work in making it a viable story...
The storyline is moving painfully slow.. Will we ever get to hear Trevor's side of story? Currently the mixed signals from Trevor are just confusing and frustrating. He is using Jordyn to postpone the divorce and side by side ignoring Wynn to the level that he didnt invite her to the Fleming group banquet. But when asked about clarifying divorce to Jordyn, he is not doing so. Awfully frustrating...
Team beck or Caleb. Trevor has wynn saved his contact as 'babe', kissing her in office and spending nights with her. How in initial chapters Trevor pushed jordyn towards wynn without caring about a mother's feelings. Now he is two timing, suddenly interested in Celeste after knowing background and leaving wynnn behind. Spineless man. He knows cels history with her father, still chose to support them. I don't how people are rooting for cel and Trevor. I wish truth comes out. Cel deserves someone who loves her with whole heart. She thrives in her field. Beck saw cel when she was not famous. But Caleb is good option too. I hope Celeste grows spine starts to demand explaination for dragging divorce....
Author - dont you think the story has been dragged as is? Now, you want to include the angle of Wynn being pregnant as well? God, i really want to know Trevor side of story, why is he playing both sides?...
Are they going to compromise for Jordyns sake? I'll be sad for Celeste if that happens. Why is author giving mixed signals in almost every alternate chapter? Initially Trevor and Wynn were always appearing together along with huge PDA, then Trevor seems involved with Celeste - when she was under alcohol influence, then Trevor seemed to be ignoring Wynn - all the while divorce proceedings are still on and now Jordyn is getting depressed because of their situation. Feels like we are just roaming around the bush or the author is making us do that. Sigh!!...
I don't understand where this story is headed to.. I can't seem to know what Trevor is thinking, in late 500 chapters, he was seen dodging the divorce, ignoring Wynn and now at 624, he is planning on how to tell Jordyn about the divorce. This is messed up!...
My fav novel post us more chap per day...
