Kieran frowned. "Not a single lead?"
"Yeah," his friend replied. "I heard she got married pretty young, but apparently her relationship with her husband wasn't great.
"The Rodriguez family's neighbors say they've never even seen the guy. It seems like her family doesn't like him either. They won't even mention him."
After a short pause, he added, "Also, they already have a child."
Kieran abruptly looked up, thinking he must have misheard. "What did you say?"
"It's true. I was just as shocked when I found out. You'd never guess, just looking at her."
Indeed.
He had worked with Celeste at YodaVision for so long and had never once heard her mention a child. Nothing about her gave that impression either.
Seeing how stunned he was, his friend asked, "Want me to keep going?"
The implication was clear—Celeste had been married and had a child. Would Kieran still like her? If not, then there was no point in continuing to dig into her past.
Kieran stood there silently.
He had everything going for him, yet his love life had always been a mess.
The first woman he liked ended up falling for someone else while he was still pursuing her.
And now, just as he had finally started to develop feelings for someone new, he found out she had not only been married, but she also had a child.
Who could accept that?
His friend sighed and patted him on the shoulder. When he was just about to leave, he heard Celeste's voice, still engaged in conversation with Tanner.
Kieran turned his head toward her and couldn't look away.
After a few seconds, his gaze steadied. "Tell me the rest."
His friend, already mentally checked out and looking to flirt elsewhere, was momentarily confused. "What?"
Then he realized what Kieran meant and stared at him in shock. "Seriously? Are you for real?"
Kieran looked at him but said nothing.
His friend gaped for a while, about to say more when Kieran suddenly caught sight of Wynn approaching.
She walked over and started chatting with someone nearby.
Seeing her, Kieran hesitated.
His friend recognized Wynn too.
When she glanced over, he awkwardly raised his hand and greeted her with a polite smile, "Ms. Locket."
Wynn nodded and looked toward Kieran.
Now, hearing Linda say this, she smiled faintly, feeling reassured.
Just then, Beck and Miles arrived and offered apologies to the host. "Sorry for being late, something came up on the way."
"It's okay. We're not strangers. There's no need to apologize."
The moment Wynn saw Beck, the smile on her face faded instantly.
After Beck greeted the host, he looked straight at Celeste and walked toward her without hesitation.
In his eyes, there was only Celeste. He didn't even seem to notice that Wynn was there.
It was Miles who saw the two women and signaled to Beck. He then looked over and gave Wynn a brief nod.
Wynn saw everything.
Linda, still clueless, was delighted to see Beck. "It's Beck! Let's go say hi—"
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Beck walk toward Celeste and Matthias.
She huffed, "Why is Beck going to them again? So annoying."
It had been a while since Beck had shown up.
The moment he appeared, Kieran's expression darkened. And when he saw Beck walk toward Celeste, he turned and made his way over to her too.

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....
