On Monday, Celeste went to work as usual.
With the high volume of work, she continued running between Velotra and YodaVision.
On Tuesday evening, while getting off work and standing in the elevator, Celeste glanced at the date on her phone and lowered her gaze.
Having worked all day, Matthias was exhausted too.
He suddenly had a hunch and asked, "Tomorrow should be the last day of the cooling-off period, right?"
Celeste put her phone back into her bag and replied, "Yes."
After all these years between her and Trevor, they were finally about to end things for good.
Matthias wasn't sure if he should feel happy for her or sad.
Though he had nothing but resentment toward Trevor, thinking of how Celeste had loved him for so many years, only to end up like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.
Still, no matter how hard something was, there would be a day when it ended.
Once the divorce was finalized, Celeste would finally be able to truly start over.
Thinking this, he patted her shoulder comfortingly but didn't say much.
…
The next morning, after her run and breakfast, Celeste returned to the office and was just about to start work when her phone rang.
It was a call from Trevor.
They had agreed earlier that on the first day after the cooling-off period ended, they would officially register the divorce.
So, it was only natural that Trevor would call.
She answered, "Hello."
Before he could say anything, she said, "I'll be there on time at nine in the morning tomorrow—"
Trevor interrupted her, "I'm currently overseas on a business trip."
Celeste paused. Before she could say anything, he added, "I probably won't be able to make it back for a few more days. We might need to delay registering the divorce."
Celeste furrowed her brows and stayed silent.
Sensing her displeasure, Trevor apologized, "I'm sorry. This was my fault."
Celeste took a deep breath. After a brief pause, she finally said, "Got it."
Without waiting for him to speak again, she ended the call.
She rubbed her forehead, trying to steady her emotions, but her phone rang again almost immediately.
This time, it wasn't from Trevor. It was Caleb.
Celeste frowned deeper.
Celeste cut him off and said bluntly, "That was the plan, but it's been postponed."
Caleb's smile froze. After two seconds, he asked, "Can I ask why? Was it your decision, or his—"
"He went abroad on a business trip. He won't be back in time tomorrow."
"So, once he's back, you'll go finalize it right away?"
"...Yes."
That was good.
Caleb thought to himself that hopefully, by the time he had vacation, they would have already officially divorced.
Though he didn't say that out loud.
At that moment, Celeste said, "Mr. Jennings, I actually picked up your call because I wanted to—"
But he interrupted her. "I know. You're going to tell me that answering my call doesn't mean you're interested, and that you only answered out of politeness and maybe to gently turn me down again. I know."
"You—"
"I know," Caleb said with a light laugh. He found her honesty rather endearing. "But my stance won't change."
Then he added, "I don't have much time now. Once I'm done with everything, I'll come find you for a meal. See you soon."
Without waiting for a reply, he hung up.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Another saviour debt?? Seriously?...
I just need an effing glimpse to what goes around in Trevor's mind. Author - do something about it please There is not even a single mention about what Trevor really wants - interested in Celeste? If yes, then why there is no reaction on seeing people courting Celeste...
I love the story bt really death slow... Y cant you post 5 to 10 chapters per day????...
This reads like a daily diary account...and not a story with a planned plotline. Author, we would share if you took the time to start developing the story, rather than dragging it out with outlines. no depth, no character development, not even the overused tropes are present, just a daily itinerary. We want you to do well..but you have to put the work in making it a viable story...
The storyline is moving painfully slow.. Will we ever get to hear Trevor's side of story? Currently the mixed signals from Trevor are just confusing and frustrating. He is using Jordyn to postpone the divorce and side by side ignoring Wynn to the level that he didnt invite her to the Fleming group banquet. But when asked about clarifying divorce to Jordyn, he is not doing so. Awfully frustrating...
Team beck or Caleb. Trevor has wynn saved his contact as 'babe', kissing her in office and spending nights with her. How in initial chapters Trevor pushed jordyn towards wynn without caring about a mother's feelings. Now he is two timing, suddenly interested in Celeste after knowing background and leaving wynnn behind. Spineless man. He knows cels history with her father, still chose to support them. I don't how people are rooting for cel and Trevor. I wish truth comes out. Cel deserves someone who loves her with whole heart. She thrives in her field. Beck saw cel when she was not famous. But Caleb is good option too. I hope Celeste grows spine starts to demand explaination for dragging divorce....
Author - dont you think the story has been dragged as is? Now, you want to include the angle of Wynn being pregnant as well? God, i really want to know Trevor side of story, why is he playing both sides?...
Are they going to compromise for Jordyns sake? I'll be sad for Celeste if that happens. Why is author giving mixed signals in almost every alternate chapter? Initially Trevor and Wynn were always appearing together along with huge PDA, then Trevor seems involved with Celeste - when she was under alcohol influence, then Trevor seemed to be ignoring Wynn - all the while divorce proceedings are still on and now Jordyn is getting depressed because of their situation. Feels like we are just roaming around the bush or the author is making us do that. Sigh!!...
I don't understand where this story is headed to.. I can't seem to know what Trevor is thinking, in late 500 chapters, he was seen dodging the divorce, ignoring Wynn and now at 624, he is planning on how to tell Jordyn about the divorce. This is messed up!...
My fav novel post us more chap per day...
