Although Celeste and Matthias had already asked Candice to politely decline Cayden's request for a meeting, he still showed up uninvited two days later.
Since he had come in person, Celeste and Matthias couldn't completely refuse to see him.
They gave him a brief, symbolic reception, but after chatting for just over ten minutes, they politely sent him off.
After that, whenever Cayden tried to arrange another meeting, they simply ignored him.
With Celeste and Matthias maintaining a firm stance, and unable to meet with them, Cayden invited Wynn out for a meal the next day instead.
During the meal, Cayden chatted with her about the developments in the industry for a while before saying, "If you had joined YodaVision last year, you would've grown so much by now. What a shame."
At their last meeting, Cayden had asked about her current situation. After hearing she hadn't gotten into YodaVision, he didn't comment much.
But now, recalling the matter, he couldn't help expressing his regret.
Wynn understood exactly what he meant.
Celeste's paper had caused a huge stir both domestically and internationally.
Many in the industry said that if YodaVision dared to openly publish such an important research achievement, it meant that they must have even more powerful core technologies internally that had yet to be revealed.
And Wynn believed this.
Last year, she had wanted to join YodaVision because of their unique programming language. She had never expected that YodaVision would develop so rapidly in such a short time.
If she had known back then, she would have done everything she could to join YodaVision back then.
Just like Cayden said, if she had really joined YodaVision, she would have achieved significant professional growth by now.
And after two or three years there, when she left, she might have been capable enough to single-handedly revitalize her own tech company.
Thinking back on it now, she realized Celeste had not only caused her to miss out not just on a connection like Matthias, but also on a crucial opportunity for personal development!
Cayden then asked, "Are you still thinking about joining YodaVision?"
Of course, she was. But as long as Matthias' attitude toward Celeste didn't change, she had no chance.
She wouldn't say that to Cayden, though.
She simply replied, "I have my own tech company now. I've even collaborated with YodaVision before. With all the security concerns, Mr. Yoder probably wouldn't consider letting me join YodaVision."
Hearing this, Cayden looked a little disappointed and said, "I see."
…
On Friday morning, when Celeste had just come back from her morning run, Martha called to invite her to dinner.
Telling her about these top projects was his way of saying, "If you come, you'll be highly valued."
Celeste saw through it easily.
She replied politely, saying she had no plans to travel abroad in the near future, before closing her email app.
That evening, after work, Celeste headed to the private dining room Martha had booked.
When she arrived, Martha was already there.
Just as Celeste sat down, the door swung open again as Jordyn ran in excitedly. "Mom!"
Celeste had no choice but to reach out and catch the little girl as she threw herself into her arms.
Accompanying Jordyn was Hannah, but Trevor was nowhere to be seen.
Jordyn sat down next to Celeste, and as they were picking out dishes together, Martha said, "I called Trevor this morning. He said he didn't have time and wouldn't be coming.
"Hmph! We'll just eat without him. It's not like we're desperate for him to join us anyway."
Celeste smiled lightly and responded with a soft hum.

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....
