+25 BONUS
After Lottie’s fever had completely subsided, Celeste returned home. She hadn’t yet prepared a dress for the upcoming banquet, so in the afternoon, she headed out to shop for one.
At a high–end boutique, the store manager and several attendants were busy with a particular dress. It wasn’t until Celeste approached that they noticed her presence.
“Sorry, miss, how can we help you?
“I’m just looking around.”
“Of c
course.
Though Celeste had become part of an affluent family like the Flemings, she’s attended very few banquets over the years. After all, Trevor and Queenie never took her along to any formal events.
As for Martha, she’d stepped out of the limelight long ago and had no interest in the social scene.
Celeste wasn’t an expert on dresses, but Lottie worked in high–end fashion. Hence, she had developed a basic sense of style.
However, the boutique was filled with so many beautiful dresses that it was hard to choose.
She wasn’t looking to be too picky and just wanted something simple.
Just as Celeste thought so, the dress the attendants had been busy with earlier caught her eye.
It was a light purple semi–sheer chiffon gown with a waist–cinching design, adorned with intricate floral details. The model’s neck was graced with an elegant, luxurious necklace.
Without thinking, Celeste walked over.
As she was about to reach out and feel the fabric, the store manager suddenly grabbed her hand forcefully, causing her to wince in pain.
He quickly released her hand and explained, “I’m so sorry, miss, I didn’t mean to hurt you. This dress is a custom piece for one of our high–end clients, and there’s only one in the world. It’s quite expensive, and if anything happens to it, we can’t cover it…”
“It’s fine,” Celeste said, though she was a little disappointed that the dress was taken.
The boutique had dresses ranging from several tens of thousands to over a million dollars, and even the most expensive dresses seemed mundane next to the one she had just seen.
In the end, Celeste chose a delicate Ivory silk gown with floral embroidery. When she was paying and having the dress wrapped up, she overheard two attendants talking son ly nearby.
“They say the necklace and the dress together are worth over 30 million dollars, That’s like wearing a mansion on your body. Rich people really are extravagant.”
“Tell me about it. Plus, they’ll probably only wear it once…
Celeste hadn’t expected the dress to be that expensive. Even if it weren’t claimed by anyone else, she certainly couldn’t have afforded it.
Celeste shook her head and turned to leave.
Back at home, Lottie called to tell her she would be taking her out for a big meal the next night.

Celeste had a good eye for fashion, and with Lottie’s skillful makeup, Celeste’s elegant and graceful appearance was beautifully enhanced.

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...
