Three days after Jordyn started staying at the Rodriguez residence, her phone rang in the evening just as Celeste was in her room drying her hair.
Seeing the caller ID, Jordyn happily turned to Celeste and said, "Mom, it's Dad calling!"
Celeste gave a soft hum, and Jordyn answered the call, putting it on speakerphone. "Dad!"
Trevor asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"I have!"
After some small talk, he got to the point of his call. "Tomorrow is the day we planned to go out with Wynn. I'll be sending someone to pick you up soon."
Even though Celeste had been busy with work and hadn't spent a lot of time with her, these past few days had still been very happy ones for Jordyn.
She wasn't quite ready to leave. So, her first instinct was to say, "Dad, I don't want to—"
But she suddenly paused, as if something came to mind, and changed her mind. She lowered her voice and said, "Okay, but Dad, you have to come pick me up yourself."
Trevor, indulgent as ever when she acted spoiled, chuckled. "Alright, I will come get you myself."
After hanging up, Jordyn walked over and hugged Celeste's arm tightly. "Mom, I don't want to leave you..."
When Trevor had mentioned sending someone to pick her up, she'd instinctively wanted to refuse.
If Celeste had to guess, she suspected the reason Jordyn changed her mind was because she didn't want to disappoint Wynn.
She wasn't ready to leave Celeste, but that didn't stop her from choosing not to let Wynn down.
Thinking that, Celeste gently patted her head and reminded her, "Go pack your things now. Your dad will be here soon."
But Jordyn wasn't happy to hear that.
She clung to Celeste's arm and said, "Mom, I already told you I brought so many things this time because I didn't want to pack again when I come over for summer break. It hasn't even been that many days, but you've already forgotten?"
Celeste hadn't forgotten.
It was just that, when Jordyn had mentioned it a couple of days ago, Celeste didn't agree to it.
Celeste nodded. "Mm."
Betty sighed and gave a small smile. "That's probably for the best."
After chatting with her for a bit, Celeste suddenly remembered something and took the initiative to send Trevor a message.
"You should find a time to talk to Jordyn about our divorce."
If it were any other child, the news of their parents divorcing might be hard to accept.
But Jordyn was different. Telling her would be fine.
A while later, Trevor replied, "Alright. I'll find the right time to tell her."
Just as Celeste put her phone down and was about to get back to her work, he sent another message.
"If you have anything you'd like to add to our divorce agreement, feel free to have your lawyer contact mine. If it's reasonable, I'll agree to it."

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....
