The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 519

Wynn glanced over as well.

She, too, had once thought that Matthias and Celeste were in that kind of relationship. But after learning about Celeste's true connection with Zachary and YodaVision, she was no longer so sure.

She also noticed that after Miles asked his question, Trevor turned to look at Beck—as if he too cared about the answer.

Wynn pressed her lips together.

Miles noticed the gesture, but assumed Trevor was merely curious.

Beck, however, fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "Why don't you go ask her yourself?"

Miles froze, slightly thrown off. He took that as a sign that Beck simply wasn't interested in gossip about Celeste and Matthias.

Finding no one to join his line of gossip, he pursed his lips in boredom.

Wynn, on the other hand, caught the deeper meaning. Her lips curved ever so faintly in a mocking smile.

If she hadn't known about Beck's feelings toward Celeste, she might have thought, like Miles, that his silence meant disinterest.

But the very fact that he said nothing—that in itself was already a form of protection.

That thought triggered a flash of insight. She suddenly realized there was a question she had overlooked all this time.

The fact that Celeste was Zachary's student and one of YodaVision's founders—perhaps Beck had known all along. He simply chose not to reveal it.

At that moment, Harold and several political figures arrived.

Of the group, the only one with a close personal connection to Celeste and Matthias was Harold.

Theodore, Rowan, and Kael did not come.

Theodore's absence was understandable, and Rowan and Kael had no open dealings with Celeste and Matthias.

The two of them were just about to excuse themselves from Harold so they could personally welcome their mentor and his wife, when Zachary and Nadine walked straight toward them.

Nadine was especially warm. The moment she saw them, she let go of Zachary's arm and opened her own to them.

"Cece, Matt—we're here!"

Celeste and Matthias hurried forward to embrace her, greeting in unison, "Mrs. Newman."

Jorge, of course, also recognized Nadine. But when he heard the way Celeste greeted her, he froze for a moment.

A beat later, he convinced himself that Celeste must be using that title because her marriage to Matthias was imminent.

After hugging Nadine, Celeste and Matthias turned to the man beside her. "Prof."

Zachary gave a brief nod. "Mm."
