On Saturday evening, Celeste accompanied Betty to watch an opera.
As they arrived at the ticket checkpoint, someone not far away—already attracting quite a bit of attention—spotted them, broke into a smile, and quickly walked over.
"Celeste."
Hearing her name, Celeste turned her head. She immediately saw Kieran making his way toward her through the crowd.
Celeste smiled lightly. "What a coincidence. You came to see the maestro's performance too?"
But of course, it wasn't a coincidence. Kieran had planned it.
At the company, he always addressed her as "Ms. Rodriguez". This was the first time—aside from the day of her interview—that he had ever called her by her given name.
Seeing that Celeste didn't seem to mind, his smile deepened slightly. When Celeste introduced him to Betty, Kieran gave her a polite nod. "Good evening, madam."
Betty returned the smile with a nod. "Hello."
Nowadays, it was rare for young people to enjoy opera. And more than that, when Kieran spoke to Celeste, the way he looked at her…
As an onlooker, Betty almost immediately caught on to Kieran's feelings for her granddaughter. But since Celeste herself seemed completely unaware, Betty chose not to say anything.
Noticing that Celeste and Betty had come alone, Kieran asked, "Why didn't you bring your child? Does she not like opera?"
At the mention of Jordyn, Celeste's smile faded a little.
Earlier, Jordyn had told her she'd be back in Baumond by noon, and that they could go out together once she returned.
Yet now it was already evening. She had indeed come back, but hadn't asked Celeste to pick her up from the airport, nor had she called after returning.
Celeste hadn't taken it to heart. She was used to it by now. And as for what Jordyn was doing at the moment—Celeste had a pretty good idea.
The moment she read the first few words, Celeste already knew what he was getting at.
Sure enough, just as she had expected, Trevor was texting to set the time for their divorce.
She picked up her phone and replied simply. "Yes."
The response from him came almost immediately. "Good. See you in the morning."
Celeste didn't reply again. She slipped her phone back into her bag and returned her gaze to the stage.
The opera had just reached its most dramatic moment. Kieran, about to make a comment, turned his head toward her—only to stop short when he caught her expression.
The smile on his lips froze, and the words died in his throat.
Because he realized, though her eyes were fixed on the stage, her heart was heavy with something else entirely.

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste 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...
Yes.. I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters......
I don't really understand the writer. Why are Trevor and Celeste silent now? Isn't it about them?...
