Celeste placed the cake box into the fridge.
Just as Jordyn finished her bath, her phone rang.
It was Trevor who called.
She answered the call. “Dad?”
“I just received a message from your grandpa, and he’s coming back in the afternoon tomorrow. I’ll send someone to pick you up after school, and we’ll have dinner at home. Go tell your mom about this.”
Trevor’s father, Lincoln Fleming, worked for the government.
He was usually busy working, and he seldom had time to visit his family.
The night Martha took a fall, Lincoln rushed back at dawn but left again before the sun even rose.
Now, with her still in the hospital, Lincoln arranged for two days off so he could return and spend New Year’s Day with her.
Upon hearing what Trevor had just said, Jordyn replied, “Okay, got it.”
After speaking, she suddenly remembered that Trevor had said “pick you up” on the phone–not “pick you both up“.
That meant Celeste wasn’t part of the plan.
Hence, she turned to Celeste and asked, “Are you not joining us, Mom?”
In the past, whenever Lincoln came home, Martha would always insist that Celeste and Jordyn join the gathering at the Fleming Manor–whether or not Trevor was present.
Since it had become a routine, even at her young age, Jordyn instinctively linked her grandfather’s return with having dinner at the Fleming Manor.
Just as Celeste was about to answer, Trevor interrupted, “Your mom is busy tomorrow.”
“Okay then.”
Jordyn had the call on speakerphone, so Celeste heard everything.
This was the first time she learned that Lincoln had returned.
She and Trevor were already in the middle of divorce proceedings.
At this point, there was no reason for her to go back and see his family.
Trevor was clearly on the same page.
Thus, before she even had a chance to say anything, he had already offered a justification for her absence.
Without another word, Trevor ended the call.
The next afternoon, Beck and his company’s core engineers came to YodaVision for a business meeting.
Lately, he had been extremely cooperative, sparing Celeste a great deal of trouble.
As a result, she treated him with more courtesy than before

As soon as he arrived, she set aside her tasks to greet him personally.
Beck’s phone rang about an hour later.
It was Trevor who had called.
Beck excused himself and went outside to answer the call.
He fell silent for two seconds after Trevor spoke, then answered simply, “Okay.”
Before the words had fully settled, Trevor suddenly added, “My father’s back and will be home for dinner tonight. I’ll have to rely on you for this.”
“Mr. Fleming is back?”
After a quick pause, Beck asked again, “How long will he be staying this time?”
“A few days, I think.”
Hanging up the call, Beck went back to the meeting room. He studied Celeste with a thoughtful expression.
She was focused on her conversation with his engineers and didn’t notice his gaze.
As their discussion wrapped up and she stood to see them out, Beck asked, “Working late again tonight?”
“Yeah, there are still a few things to take care of,” Celeste answered without giving it much thought.
Beck’s eyes darkened slightly.
So, she wasn’t going back to the Fleming Manor with Trevor tonight.
Something shifted inside him. “Are you free later? Let’s have dinner together.”
Celeste shook her head. “No, I have too much work. I can’t leave.”
Hearing that, Beck almost suggested ordering food for her instead.

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....
