Celeste was just about to pull over and check whose phone it was when her own phone rang—it was Jordyn.
The moment she answered, Trevor's voice came through instead. "It's me. I think I left my phone in your car."
Celeste replied evenly, "I'll send you my location. You can come get it."
"Alright."
She parked and sent him the pin. A few minutes later, Trevor showed up—alone. Jordyn had already fallen asleep, so he'd come down by himself.
Taking the phone she handed over, he smiled. "Thanks."
Her voice was calm. "No need."
She raised the window, ready to drive off, when he suddenly said, "I'll be away on another business trip in a couple of days. But I'll hurry back."
Celeste froze.
The end of their divorce mandatory waiting period was coming up. She knew he was hinting that he might not make it back exactly on the day, but also that it wouldn't drag out too long.
The last time the mandatory waiting period ended, the divorce never went through. Both of them had their share of responsibility for that.
So now, hearing him bring it up, she couldn't bring herself to answer harshly.
"...Got it," she said simply, and then drove away.
…
The next afternoon, since Ivan's family of four had other plans, Celeste headed out camping with Matthias, two of his friends, and Lottie—who had just returned to the country after wrapping up her work.
Just like Kieran had said yesterday, there really were a lot of people camping for the meteor shower. When they arrived, the grounds were already dotted with tents, buzzing with energy.
Kieran, who had gotten there earlier, walked over as soon as he saw them. "You made it."
The moment Lottie laid eyes on him, her eyes lit up. She leaned in close to Celeste and whispered, "Wow... Now that's a heartthrob. Do you two know each other?"
Almost in unison, Kieran and Caleb both turned to Celeste and said, "Let me help."
Lottie was stunned.
Celeste already knew Caleb's intentions. But as for Kieran, she honestly wasn't sure.
Still, hearing his offer, she didn't think too much about it. They usually got along well—so in this situation, it just seemed natural that he'd want to lend a hand.
As for Caleb, she had meant to politely decline, but he was already moving, pitching in without waiting for her answer.
Celeste hesitated, then said, "...Thanks. I'll trouble you both, then."
With the extra hands, she didn't just stand by but joined in as well.
Moments later, from not too far away, a coy voice called out, "Mr. Quinton, you're here."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
