Counting down the days, the ones waiting for Celeste's divorce weren't just Matthias and Caleb, but Beck was as well.
So, besides Matthias, Beck also knew that Thursday was the day Celeste and Trevor were supposed to finalize their divorce.
He had been on business trips out of town frequently. But this time, he specifically rushed back at dawn on Thursday.
After a few hours of rest at home, around 10 in the morning, after he handled some matters, Beck ultimately couldn't suppress the urge to call Miles.
"I've been really busy lately, and it's been a while since I last had a meal with you and Trevor. Want to grab lunch together today?"
Miles replied, "I'm free, but Trevor won't be able to make it. He went abroad on a business trip a few days ago and still hasn't returned."
Beck's heart tightened. "Trevor... went on a business trip?"
So that means they couldn't finalize the divorce today?
He hadn't been in touch with Trevor or Wynn much recently. Calling Miles was actually his way of probing into the divorce situation.
If they were already divorced, he'd be able to—
He didn't expect this outcome. "When will Trevor be back?" he asked.
Miles wasn't paying close attention to the divorce anymore and honestly hadn't realized their cooling-off period had already ended.
He answered casually, "No idea. You know how this time of year is—he's always swamped with business overseas. Who knows how long he'll be gone this time?"
Beck lowered his gaze and said nothing more.
After hanging up, he looked at Celeste's contact info on his phone. He had originally thought he'd get the chance to call her today.
Now, it seemed he still had to wait.
…
Busy days flew by quickly.
Naturally, the Rodriguez family was aware that Trevor's business trip had caused the divorce to be delayed again.
That night, after Jordyn arrived and they were having dinner, Betty couldn't help asking, "Jordyn, do you know when your father is coming back?"
Jordyn didn't understand the complicated thoughts the adults were having.
While eating, she answered honestly, "Dad said it's still uncertain. But when I talked to him on the phone yesterday, he said he probably won't make it back in time for my birthday."
Betty frowned.
It had already been nearly a week since the end of the cooling-off period.
Trevor still couldn't confirm his return date. Was he planning to only return after the decision period was over?
If that was the case, it meant they would have to wait for another full cooling-off period just to get divorced.
Hearing Jordyn's words, Celeste also furrowed her brow.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
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....
Wynn's reputation is over. I read all these chapters for this moment... I'm really glad that Matthias finally said everything at once. All thanks to the fool Quinton...
So we're going to keep going in circles atp,nothing was revealed that we didn't already know,I mean I would've at least liked to see Trevor's reaction to finding out his wife is the co-owner and coder to CUAP,find out who drugged them.Whats happening with the military blacksite,how come Celeste is so quiet she never stands up for herself. All we're getting is reaction's from side character's who don't matter...
