When Caleb saw Wynn, he didn't look the least bit surprised. He just smiled politely and nodded.
"Ms. Locket."
"It's been a while. I didn't expect to run into you here," Wynn said with a pleasant smile.
Her eyes drifted briefly to what he was carrying before she added, graceful and composed as ever, "Are you here with Mr. Robinson and Mr. York? I'm here with some friends too. Since we're all acquaintances, why don't we join up? It'll be livelier with more people."
Caleb replied, "Jorge and the others aren't here. I came with some other friends." Then, ever so polite, he added, "My friends are waiting for me, so I'll head off first. Let's catch up another time."
His tone was courteous and respectful—the kind of politeness that drew a line.
Wynn knew that. Her smile stayed perfectly in place. "Alright, then. Have fun."
"You too." With that, Caleb gave her a polite nod and turned to leave.
"Hey, Wynn, wasn't that Mr. Jennings? He's camping too? So, does that mean Mr. Robinson and his friends are around? We don't have that many people—why don't we ask them to join us?"
Linda and her two girlfriends came trotting over just then.
Sure, they had a few male friends along, but the only decent-looking one was Miles, and even he barely hung out with them.
If someone like Caleb or Jorge joined in, this whole camping trip would instantly get way more interesting.
Wynn said flatly, "They're with their own friends. It's not convenient."
"Oh... Okay."
The three of them looked instantly deflated.
One of Linda's friends stared after Caleb and sighed dreamily. "He's still so handsome. I heard he's been in the military all this time and is still single. I wonder what kind of woman could ever be worthy of him."
Kieran could tell she wasn't in a good mood. He didn't know why. Maybe she'd fought with Trevor, maybe it was something else.
But honestly, none of that had anything to do with him anymore.
Without even turning around, he said politely, "Sorry, I've got something to do." And with that, he walked off with food in hand, no hesitation at all.
Wynn watched his distant back, assuming he was still angry, and didn't think too much of it.
Kieran really had moved on.
Still, Wynn's family had helped his family once, and that debt of gratitude—he didn't forget about that.
After dropping off the food, he sent his sister a quick message and then turned his attention toward Celeste and walked over to her.

Comments
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....
