Chapter 169
Hearing this, Celeste said calmly, “As long as there are no issues, that’s good.”
With that, she picked up the pen beside her and signed her name without any hesitation.
She then turned to Jason and said, “T’ll leave the rest of the divorce proceedings in your hands, Mr. Payne,”
Jason nodded. “I have a meeting in a bit, but this afternoon, I’ll contact Mr. Fleming to follow up on the next steps for your divorce,”
“Alright.”
It was almost lunchtime. After having a meal with Jason, Celeste and Matthias headed to her place to continue working on her research paper.
Meanwhile, at Fleming Group, Trevor had just returned to his office and was about to review some documents when his phone rang.
He answered it casually. “Hello, who is this?”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Fleming. I am Ms. Rodriguez’s lawyer, Jason Payne. Ms. Rodriguez has already signed the divorce agreement, and she has entrusted me to handle the remaining proceedings. Do you have time to discuss this now?”
Trevor paused for a moment before lowering his gaze and saying, “I have two meetings this afternoon, so I won’t be available. You can come to Fleming Group tomorrow morning at around ten.”
Jason replied, “Understood. Thank you for your cooperation. Mr. Fleming Goodbye.”
After hanging up, Trevor returned to reviewing his documents.
That night, Matthias left Celeste’s place to attend to other matters.
Celeste planned to have dinner at the Rodriguez residence, so she grabbed her bag and headed out.
Just as she got into her car, her phone rang–it was Jordyn. She didn’t need to guess to know why Jordyn was calling.
Not in the mood to deal with her, Celeste ignored the call.
Jordyn called two more times. Seeing that Celeste wasn’t answering, she eventually gave up.
By the time Celeste arrived at the Rodriguez residence’s gated community, it was during peak hours for vehicle entry and exit.
She stopped her car and waited behind other residents for die system to recognize their vehicles.
Just then, someone knocked on her car window. Celeste turned her head to look.
It was Beck
She froze for a second, not expecting to run into him there. Lowering her window slowly, she greeted him. “Mr. Harper.”
Beck’s gaze re
rested on her face. Seeing that she looked calm–without the exhaustion or distress he had expected-

he paused briefly.
Celeste asked, “Is there something you need, Mr. Harper?”
He responded, “I had something to take care of here. I saw your car and thought I’d come over to say hello.”
But given their level of familiarity, even if they did run into each other, he didn’t necessarily have to go out of his way to greet her.
Celeste thought about it but didn’t say anything after all, be had helped her before.
Besides, she would still be seeing him later when she met Shanice.
They weren’t friends, but there was no need to make things awkward between them. With that in mind, Celeste simply nodded. “Alright then, I’ll-
Before she could finish, Beck said, “I heard there’s a well–known bakery around here. I haven’t been to this area much and couldn’t find it. Do you know where it is?“.
Celeste didn’t suspect anything and replied, “There is a famous bakery, but it’s not in this area. It’s about a mile away on another street.”
She pointed him in the right direction.
Beck said, “Got it. Thanks.”
“No problem.” At that moment, it was her turn for vehicle recognition. As her car rolled forward, she said, Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
