Chapter 271
Beck had barely ended the call when Shanice came running with a light wand in her hand. “Uncle Beck, can I call Jo on video?”
After a quick pause, Beck nodded. “Sure.”
The call went through, and Jordyn picked up almost instantly.
The moment the call connected, Shanice beamed. “Jo, look have a light wand!”
Worried that Jordyn couldn’t see it clearly, Shanice passede phone to Beck and ran a few steps away to show the whole thing.
They were in their garden, and it was dimly lit. Hence, the light wand stood out even more.
Jordyn was still taking it in when Shanice ran back, grinning. “I got this as an Ember Festival gift! Isn’t it cute?”
There were many things from two or three years ago that Jordyn could no longer remember.
But seeing Shanice with the light wand triggered a few fleeting memories.
“Yeah, it’s cute,” she said. “I think I used to have one too.
‘Really? Don’t you have a light wand now?”
Jordyn shook her head. Watching Shanice run around with the light wand actually looked fun.
Shaking her head again, she blurted out, “I’m going to ask my dad to get me one! Don’t hang up–we’ll talk in a bit”
Before Shanice could reply, Jordyn dashed upstairs with her phone.
A day before the Ember Festival, a small part of the Flemings‘ extended relatives would be at the Fleming Manor to celebrate the Ember Festival.
And now, Trevor was busy mingling with others.
When he saw her running over, Trevor excused himself and carried Jordyn a little further away. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Shanice got a light wand as a gift. I want one too.”
“A light wand?”
“Not those I have in my room.”
With that, Jordyn held up her phone. “Shanice, show my dad your light wand.”
“Oh…”
Shanice took a few steps back, revealing the whole thing.
After Trevor examined it, he thanked Shanice, “Okay, I got it. Thank you, Shanice.”
“You’re welcome.”
Trevor then asked Beck, who was still holding the phone, “Got any plans later?” Beck hesitated briefly. “Might go for the countdown. You?”
Chapter 271
“I’ll be heading out, too,” Trevor said.
Beck wasn’t surprised.
After all, given the significance of the night, there was no way Trevor wouldn’t go find Wynn.
Beck didn’t press further and changed the subject. “Were you tied up earlier?”
“Yeah, I was still entertaining guests,” Trevor answered.
Beck understood.
Being the head of the Flemings, the Ember Festival was never an easy time for him.
“I’ll let you ge
“I’ll let you get back to it, then.”
“Alright.”
Before handing the phone back to Jordyn, Trevor smiled. “Enjoy the Ember Festival.”
“You too.”
Trevor returned the phone to Jordyn. “You two chat; I’ll have someone buy a light wand for you.
“Okay!” Jordyn replied happily.
Then, Trevor walked away,
Beck, too, gave the phone to Shanice so she could chat with Jordyn.
When they had talked about their plans earlier, he hadn’t asked where Trevor was going, just as Trevor hadn’t invited him to tag along.
That alone made it clear–Trevor didn’t want any company tonight.

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....
