The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Just then, Trevor’s phone rang. Celeste happened to glance over and saw that the incoming call displayed the word “Babe” on the screen.

She had convinced herself that she no longer cared, but after loving someone for so many years, it wasn’t easy to let go completely.

The sight of those two words stung her eyes, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Trevor noticed her reaction when he looked up, but without hesitation, he answered the phone right in front of her and spoke in a gentle tone, “Yes?”

Jordyn also noticed Trevor’s actions.

In Jordyn’s memory, Trevor only showed this kind of tenderness when speaking to Wynn. For a moment, she forgot that Celeste was there and excitedly asked, “Dad, is that Wynn?”

Trevor calmly replied, “Yes.”

Jordyn wanted to say that she wanted to chat with Wynn too but hesitated, remembering that Celeste didn’t like Wynn. She swallowed the words back, her good mood slightly dampened.

Wynn“!

She furrowed her brow and couldn’t help but think, “If only Mom could get along

om could get along with W

Wynn must have said something that made Trevor frown with concern. He didn’t even finish his breakfast and left in a hurry.

Jordyn noticed how urgently Trevor was leaving and felt concerned too. But because Celeste was there, she didn’t ask any questions.

However, she had lost her appetite and stood up saying, “Mom, I’m done, let’s go now.”

Celeste had observed every subtle reaction from Jordyn and knew the latter was anxious to find out what was going on with Wynn.

But she said nothing about it.

“You haven’t eaten much, take some with you in the car.”

“I’m not hungry.”

Celeste didn’t insist.

As soon as Jordyn got into the backseat, she sent a message to Wynn.

Celeste saw it but didn’t comment,

A little while later, Wynn replied, saying it was just a fever and a cold, nothing serious.

But her voice sounded a little hoarse, which made Jordyn even more worried. She quickly sent a message telling Wynn she would visit her after school.

The moment the message was sent, Jordyn felt a twinge of guilt.

She hadn’t had Celeste’s cooking in a long time, and she had planned to have dinner with her later that night. But fortunately, she hadn’t mentioned it yet.

Thinking about it, she sneaked a glance at Celeste in the driver’s seat. When she saw Celeste wasn’t paying attention to her, she felt relieved.

When they arrived at school, Jordyn gave Celeste a warm hug. “Mom, I’ll go in now.”

“Alright.”

Jordyn didn’t notice Celeste’s indifference and cheerfully bounced off to school.

Not long after returning to the company, Celeste received a message saying Trevor had an urgent matter, and the meeting scheduled for 10:00 am was postponed to the afternoon.

Trevor’s “urgent matter” was, in fact, that he went to care for the sick Wynn.

Celeste didn’t react much and continued to focus on her work.

Around 2:00 pm, it seemed Trevor had returned to the company because Zeke told everyone that the meeting would start at 3:00 pm and asked Celeste to make Trevor a cup of coffee.

When Trevor entered the conference room, Celeste’s fingers suddenly froze over the keyboard.

He had changed clothes. It wasn’t the same outfit he wore this morning.

He had gone to see Wynn earlier, and though they might not have done anything, Trevor might have gone to comfort her, maybe even staying in bed with her…

At this thought, Celeste momentarily lost focus.

Perhaps Trevor assumed she was making an inappropriate display of infatuation toward him. When she snapped out of her daze, she found Trevor staring at her with a steely gaze,

Recalling his tenderness and care for Wynn in contrast with the impatience and indifference he showed her, Celeste clenched her fists and quickly looked away

The meeting ended soon after, and Zeke came to find Celeste, saying that her handover work was nearly finished and that she didn’t need to come to the company the next day.

Celeste replied, “I know.”

Even if Zeke hadn’t mentioned it, she’d already planned to bring it up after completing her remaining tasks. It was a relief he came in person, so she wouldn’t have to make the trip herself.
