The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 400
Celeste thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll tell you later. I'm going to take this call."
After greeting Bryson and the others, she turned and stepped out of the private room with her phone.
Watching her leave, Matthias suddenly processed what was happening. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Though he had wondered once whether there might be something between them at a banquet last year, when he saw Celeste dancing with Caleb.
But that idea had faded since they'd had no further contact afterward.
So, how could this be happening now?
Hearing Matthias questioning Celeste, Kieran instinctively looked over at her.
He didn't know Caleb, had never heard of him.
But when he saw the hint of discomfort on Celeste's face, he immediately sensed something unusual. And Matthias' reaction only confirmed his suspicion.
So, this Caleb... Could he and Celeste really—?
Trevor knew Caleb.
So, after hearing Matthias speak, he casually glanced toward Celeste. At first, he only meant to give her a quick look before shifting his gaze away.
But when he caught that unfamiliar expression on her face, he halted, and his eyes lingered thoughtfully on her retreating figure.
Once Celeste stepped out of the room, she answered the call.
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Caleb beat her to it, "I thought you weren't going to pick up."
Because of her striking appearance, Celeste had been receiving confessions from admirers since she was young. She wasn't a stranger to it.
But ever since she'd gotten married and had a child, her social circle had changed.
She'd never tried to hide her marital status at work either, so in recent years, such confessions had grown rare.
She and Caleb were somewhat friends.
And since her divorce from Trevor wasn't finalized, his earlier confession had left her feeling uneasy. Now that he was contacting her again, that unease only deepened.
Just as she was about to speak, Caleb continued, "After we saw each other last time, I gave it a lot of thought. At first, I thought what I said that day was just a moment of impulse.
"It's not..." Celeste felt more and more uncomfortable. She hesitated, then said softly, "Thank you for liking me, but I—"
"I know." Caleb cut her off gently. Even his interruptions were tender.
"I know what you're going to say—you weren't planning to start a new relationship so soon. Maybe you never even considered being with me. In other words, you don't like me right now."
Celeste was momentarily speechless—he'd hit the nail right on the head.
Then his voice came again through the phone, "I know all that. But I don't mind. I can wait."
Celeste came back to herself and was just about to tell him that she had a daughter when Caleb once again preempted her.
"You said you'd been married. I figured you might already have a child. I've thought about that too. But even so, my answer remains the same.
"So, I hope I can be the first in line to pursue you. And if you do consider starting a new relationship after your divorce, I hope I'll be the first person you think of."
Celeste had been confessed to many times before. But never like this.
Before she could say anything, Caleb's warm voice came again, "Where are you now? Have you eaten? I just got back. Can I treat you to lunch?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Uhuh. And what, pray tell, is it that you know to be doing Trevor?...
Mr. Lincoln, you never raised your son. He is not a real man... When I see him, I just remember the line from the song that says "I guess no one ever told you how to be a real man."...
Did Trevor shut down the internet? If he does it, he's truly the biggest whore I've ever seen in my life... This guy raised my blood pressure throughout 800 chapters...
ok im done im not reading this trash anymore its repetitive celeste finally speaks and its less than 5 words.this isn't good at all and now we're getting the netizens pov but not hers. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION EXCEPT HER AND TREVOR...
I’m not liking where this is headed.. I’m getting the sense that the author is following the revenging husband storyline and Trevor did all this just to avenge his wife...
Isn't this a company that Celeste and Matthias work for? This will be a fatal blow to those scoundrels....
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I wonder what happened to Jo... What is the story behind that court summons?...
A court summons? Oh my God, what happened?...
Here we go again…drip-drop. One page a day instead of the promised 5 Chapters and even that stops suddenly so we never know if the story will advance. I swear this author is writing the new page on their lunch break and laughing at us when we get frustrated....
I feel like reading the novel from everyone else's perspective, but the main characters. There has never been a glimpse on Trevor's side of thoughts or intentions. He feels like a ghost in this whole storyline. Although i am glad that Mathias revealed the truth about Celeste, but it still feels empty without main character's thoughts or feelings or voices being shared....
