Celeste left the courthouse and returned to YodaVision. She even made it in time for the morning meeting.
As soon as she sat down, Matthias leaned over and whispered, "All done? That fast?"
Celeste nodded.
There had never been much conflict between her and Trevor. Both of them had a surprisingly positive attitude toward the divorce, so the paperwork naturally went through quickly.
Matthias added, "If it weren't for the mandatory waiting period, you two would already be officially divorced today. But now you'll still have to wait 30 days.
"Once this mandatory waiting period ends, you'd better go get the certificate right away. Don't delay it again. Otherwise, just like last time, you'll end up stuck in base duty again, miss the decision window, and have to start all over.
"It's such a hassle."
"I know."
The last time the mandatory waiting period ended, she and Trevor had actually agreed to go for the divorce certificate the very next day. But then things came up for both of them, and in the end, they missed the deadline entirely.
…
Wednesday marked the anniversary of Celeste's maternal grandfather, Lorenzo Rodriguez's, death.
Although he passed away in Baumond, he had been buried in Youtopia.
On Tuesday at noon, Celeste and Betty set out for the airport, preparing to return to Youtopia to pay their respects.
Jordyn went along as well.
Originally, Celeste hadn't booked Jordyn's ticket, but since she was staying at the Rodriguez residence and expressed a wish to go, she simply brought her along.
Ever since the family had left Youtopia, they rarely went back. After Lorenzo's death, they only returned during the days surrounding his memorial.
They had thought about tearing it down and rebuilding, but the house carried too many important memories for Betty and Ivan.
Especially Isabelle's room—perhaps because of its location, it had stayed in relatively good condition.
Jordyn had been in good spirits at first, but when she saw how much grief weighed on Celeste and Betty, her mood dimmed too, and she quietly held Celeste's hand, following closely behind.
Back before she and Trevor went abroad, Jordyn had come to Youtopia every year with Celeste for Lorenzo's memorial. She had been young then, but still carried some vague impressions of the place.
Her memories were faint, but she did remember that every time they came, Celeste and the others always seemed so sorrowful.
When she saw how sad Celeste was now, she hugged her at the doorway of Isabelle's room to comfort her.
Feeling the girl's embrace, Celeste paused, lowered her head, and met her worried gaze.
There was a complex look in her eyes, but in the end, she said nothing. She only reached out and gently stroked the girl's cheek.

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?...
