Chapter 269
When Queenie and the others arrived and didn’t see Celeste, they assumed she had gone to the airport with Trevor to pick Jordyn up.
Now that Trevor and Jordyn had returned home, but Celeste was still nowhere to be seen, they found it odd,
However, since they didn’t really care about Celeste, they couldn’t be bothered to ask.
Trevor simply said, “She’s busy.”
Tucker didn’t question it and continued playing with Jordyn.
Martha, however, understood what was going on but chose to remain silent.
After dinner, Jordyn played by herself for a while, but soon got bored and decided to call Celeste.
Even though it was the holidays, Celeste had no intention of letting herself be idle.
When Jordyn’s call came in, Celeste was in the middle of reviewing some documents sent by Zachary.
Seeing the caller ID and realizing it had been nearly a month since they last saw each other, she casually picked up the phone.
“Hello?”
Celeste hadn’t answered her calls for so long that Jordyn had almost lost hope.
Hearing her mom pick up out of the blue, she was overjoyed “Mom!”
Celeste’s attention remained on her computer as she responded indifferently, “Mm.”
Jordyn didn’t notice her detached tone and excitedly said, “Mom, I’m back from being abroad!”
Celeste didn’t even know she left the country. So, hearing this, she simply responded with a brief hum as acknowledgement.
From the moment Celeste answered the call, Jordyn had been on cloud nine. She jumped around on the bed excitedly.
“Mom, when will you be done with work? Are you coming home tonight? I want you to hold me while I sleep, and I have so many fun things to tell you!
“Also, I really want to eat your breakfast tomorrow morning. When are you coming back?”
Celeste didn’t tell her that she wouldn’t be going back to the Fleming Manor anymore. Instead, she said, “I’m really busy right now. Next month, I’ll take you out to play.”
It had been a long time since Celeste had taken her out. The thought of going on an outing together made jordyn very happy.
“Next month?” Even though next month was only a few days away, it still felt like a long wait for Jordyn.
She didn’t complain, though. Instead, she asked, “When exactly next month?”
Even through the phone, Celeste could feel Jordyn’s eagerness to talk to her and see her.
Her grip on the mouse tightened slightly before she finally said, “We’ll see when the time comes. I’ll let you knew once I decide, okay?”
“Okay.”
Celeste asked, “Have you taken a bath yet?”
“Not yet. But soon.
“Then go take your bath. I still have work to do. I’ll hang up now.”
“We just started talking, and you’re already hanging up?” Jordyn was reluctant to end the call.
She glanced at the call duration and protested, “Mom, It’s only been two minutes! Can’t we talk a little longer?”
Celeste replied, “Next time, when I have time, if you want to talk, we can talk longer.
Hearing this, Jordyn finally gave in, albeit unwillingly. “Okay. But Mom, you have to keep your promise.”
Celeste said, “I will.”
Only then did Jordyn whisper, “Bye, Mom.”
“Bye.” As soon as she finished speaking, Celeste ended the call.
Jordyn suddenly remembered that she hadn’t told Celeste about the gift she had bought for her. She was just about to mention it when she realized the call had already ended.
Her heart sank with disappointment.
Setting her phone down, she climbed out of bed and went to find Trevor in his study.
Trevor was in the middle of a video conference.
When he saw her walk in, he adjusted the camera angle and muted his microphone before asking, “What’s wrong? Couldn’t get through?”

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....
