Celeste stopped in her tracks, gave a soft hum, and asked from where she stood, "Where are Jo and the others?"
Trevor replied, "The rain's been too heavy today. A lot of places outside are flooded. Even though the drainage system here has always been good, if this keeps up, it won't hold. Peter has already sent people to deal with it.
"Jo's never seen people stacking sandbags, or rain this heavy, so she ran out to join the excitement."
Hearing that, Celeste glanced out the window and finally realized that the outside had turned into a vast stretch of water.
Truth be told, it was also her first time seeing Baumond hit by such a severe flood.
Her brows knitted with worry, and she couldn't help saying, "Where is Jo now? The rain's pouring, yet you just let her stay outโ"
Before she could finish, Jordyn burst in, drenched head to toe in a little raincoat. "Mom, you're awake!"
Seeing she was safe, Celeste let out a breath of relief.
But when she noticed that, despite the raincoat, her daughter's hair and clothes were nearly soaked through, the worry came right back.
Jordyn was clearly thrilled, though. She wanted to fling herself into Celeste's arms, but just before she reached her, she remembered how wet she was and skidded to a stop.
Celeste couldn't bring herself to scold Jordyn when she saw her daughter's happiness. She was just about to tell her to go upstairs and change when Trevor set down his book, stood, and scooped Jordyn up.
"Let's get you changed first."
"Okay." Jordyn nodded, then suddenly wriggled, wanting to get down. "I want Mom to help me change."
Trevor raised a brow, glanced at Celeste, and asked, "Are you sure? Didn't you see that Mom's angry right now?"
Jordyn blinked. She really hadn't noticed.
Sneaking a look at Celeste, she didn't actually feel like her mother was angry, so she asked, "Mom, are you really mad?"
About ten minutes later, Trevor came back downstairs with Jordyn. By then, the little girl had changed into dry clothes and her hair had been blow-dried.
She happily ran over and snuggled into Celeste's lap, chattering away, while Trevor simply returned to his seat and picked up his book again.
Another 20 minutes later, Martha awoke.
Baumond wasn't a particularly rainy city, and she hadn't seen a downpour like this in years, so it startled her too.
With nothing else to do, she pulled Celeste along to show off some antiques she'd recently acquired. She even gifted her a valuable jewelry set and a fine paintbrush.
They chatted away, and Trevor didn't interrupt.
Outside, the streets were half a meter deep in water. That night, Celeste stayed over at the Fleming Manor.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I think there wont be a closure anytime soon, with the speed with which the story is flowing. New characters are being introduced, sides and opinions are being formed blindly - yet no one is ever discussing anything with each other. This is by far the most frustrating novel i have read and yet, come back for an update in a hope that there may be something in reader's favor now. Sigh! There is nothing. If author doesn't want to take Celeste Trevor route, then let Celeste move on like Trevor has. Enough with this beating around the bush....
Y cant you give more chapters.... Really disappointed.. My fav novel produce only one chap per day๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐...
I can't even believe there are almost 800 chapters and absolutely no story line advances. Basically Trevor is absolute trash and deserves to be mocked and scorned because of his cheating nature, bringing his mistress around like he's single and flaunting the billions he spends on her as if he is not already married for 7 years. Celeste deserves everyone to know her story and be free of this loser....
Very slow in updating chapters๐.... Tat too only one... It vil be useful if updates have 5 chap a day or atleast 3 per day...
I am getting frustrated with story, what is the point in dragging this on? How come Celeste is always portrayed as the villain when she hasnโt done anything wrong? Get on with outing Wynn, Iโm sick of her!...
๐๐๐๐๐eagerly waiting fr next chapters...
Y only one chapter per day๐คฅ vry sad...
Why am i reading this novel still? In what hope, seriously? To have Trevor regret his choices? To get some clarity or closure on so many gaps this novel offers? To have Shaws & Lockets ever face repercussions? To get clarity on Celeste's mother life? Because seriously, 720+ chapters gone by and from last 350 chapter - there has been no significant progress, the story has been playing around in loops. This is just sad...
No updates still๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก...
Y u stopped in middle.. Pls my fav story... Pls do post...
