Monday morning, just as Celeste arrived at the office building downstairs, she bumped into Kieran, who was also arriving for work.
Kieran smiled as he said, "Morning."
Celeste responded, "Morning."
As soon as she spoke, she caught sight of Caleb nearby. Seeing him made her pause slightly.
Kieran noticed Caleb as well and frowned in displeasure.
Caleb didn't pay much attention to Kieran and walked straight over to Celeste.
"I got home early yesterday morning. We haven't seen each other in a while, so I thought I'd come by and say hello."
Caleb really had come just to see her. Her attitude had been clear all along, so he didn't want to make her uncomfortable or annoy her.
He added, "Go ahead with your work. Don't mind me. I'll leave in a bit."
There was honestly nothing more Celeste felt needed to be said between them. His sudden appearance had left her at a bit of a loss for words.
Since he said that, she didn't stand on ceremony. She nodded and turned to head upstairs.
Kieran glanced at Caleb before following behind Celeste.
Caleb watched her retreating figure. After a long moment, he turned and returned to his car.
There was a bouquet of flowers in the car.
He had originally planned to give them to Celeste, but given the way things looked now, if he actually brought them out, she'd probably be even more put off and want to avoid him.
Thinking that, Caleb gave a helpless laugh.
…
In the elevator, Kieran stood beside Celeste and pressed the button.
Seeing how he was silently watching her, Celeste looked up and asked, "What is it?"
Kieran shook his head. "Nothing."
But he couldn't hold it in and finally asked, "About Mr. Jennings... Does he often ask to meet with you?"
Celeste replied, "No."
Since this was the first time he had asked her a personal question, she didn't feel annoyed by it and answered directly.
"I haven't officially divorced yet. How could I consider him? Besides, I'm sure I don't have any romantic interest in Mr. Jennings."
Kieran had thought she was already divorced.
Hearing this, he froze. "You... You're not officially divorced yet?"
Celeste shook her head and said, "Not yet."
Just as she finished speaking, the elevator arrived.
Celeste stepped out and headed straight to her office.
Kieran stood there watching her figure retreat, momentarily blanking out. Then something suddenly clicked.
Could it be that the reason Beck never made a move on Celeste wasn't because he gave up? But because he knew she wasn't officially divorced?
Or... Was it because Beck knew who her husband was?

Comments
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....
