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 out—"
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)
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...
