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)
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...
