As soon as the words were spoken, a knock sounded at the private dining room door.
It was Miles and Beck.
Miles pushed the door open, and upon seeing how many people were already inside, he exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa, so many people?"
This restaurant was owned by his family.
He and Beck had just come over for a meal. After hearing from the restaurant manager that Trevor was dining here, they decided to drop by and say hello—they didn't expect such a large gathering.
And on top of that, it was full of familiar faces.
Seeing so many people there, Miles instantly felt that just the two of them dining alone would be no fun, so he asked, "Trevor, since there are already so many here, do you mind if Beck and I join as well?"
Trevor turned and asked, "Professor Milford, Mr. Yoder, I wonder if—"
Since Rodney had just voluntarily invited the Lockets and the Shaws to join, Trevor couldn't very well refuse his own friends.
Rodney replied graciously, "Of course, I don't mind. I wonder what Mr. Yoder thinks?"
Matthias smiled and said, "Mr. Harper and Mr. Quinton are old acquaintances of mine, I don't mind at all."
Originally, Matthias had been a bit displeased about the Lockets and the Shaws tagging along.
But now?
He almost wished the whole world would cram into the private room—how could he possibly mind two more?
Meanwhile, Linda, who had been wanting to see Beck for a while now, couldn't hold herself back once she finally laid eyes on him. She stood up and said, "Beck, come sit over here with me."
But Beck ignored her, and, along with Miles, had the server add two chairs next to Trevor.
They had barely sat down when another knock came at the door.
This time, it was Jorge and three core engineers from his company. His company was also involved in the Fleming Group's project.
"I see," Jorge nodded, then turned to Wynn. "For Professor Sweeney to personally message you about this—he must really hold you in high regard."
Wynn smiled modestly, saying, "I'm deeply honored by the professor's mentorship. I'll keep working hard, and I'll be sure to study the recommended paper thoroughly—I won't let him down."
With both Rodney and Cayden showing her such recognition, Jorge was genuinely happy for her. At the same time, he felt even more admiration—and fondness—for her.
It was clear he was reluctant to take his eyes off her with the way he looked at her. But since Trevor was present, he eventually looked away.
Wynn, of course, could sense Jorge's growing interest in her.
She still hadn't forgotten that Beck didn't personally attend her grandmother's birthday, and she was a bit bothered by it.
She glanced over at him, only to find him sitting there quietly drinking tea, not even looking her way, nor reacting to all the compliments being showered on her.
Her brows furrowed slightly before she turned away.
Once again, Wynn had become the center of attention, much to the delight of the Lockets and the Shaws.

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....
