The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 271

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?”

“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.
