Celeste, Caleb, and Kieran had all come prepared, so their tables were already covered with all kinds of top-quality ingredients.
Salads, wine, champagne, pastries, and specialty drinks were neatly arranged in picnic baskets and laid out on blankets, making their picnic setup look effortlessly perfect.
After setting everything up, Caleb looked at the steak, lamb chops, and various seafood he'd brought along and asked Celeste, "Do you eat spicy food? These marbled lamb chops were flown in last night from out of town—I tried them before, the quality's really good—"
Before he could finish, Kieran walked over, handed Celeste a drink, and cut him off. "This is a special drink I made. It tastes pretty good—want to try it?"
Since he was already holding it out, Celeste had no choice but to take it. "Thanks."
She couldn't ignore Caleb either, so she turned back to him and said, "I can eat spicy food. I'm not picky."
Caleb smiled. "Okay."
Then Celeste politely took a sip of the drink in her hand. It really was nice—blueberry flavored, her favorite. The berries had been perfectly blended, giving it a refreshing taste that caught her by surprise.
"It's really good. I like it, thank you."
Having worked by her side for a few months, Kieran naturally knew her tastes better than anyone. He'd even asked someone to create new flavors based on what she liked.
Hearing her say she liked it, his smile deepened. "Glad to hear that. I had them mix a few other flavors too—there's a raspberry one. Want to try it later?"
Celeste nodded. "Sure."
When she looked up again, she saw Lottie across the way winking at her.
Lottie tried not to laugh, leaning toward Matthias and whispering, "Looks like I came at the right time."
Honestly, this was way more entertaining than watching a meteor shower.
Seeing them approach, Lottie quickly shut her mouth.
Caleb was the first to speak. "Mr. Yoder, Ms. Cruz, would you like to try my cooking later? I'm not great at making full meals, but I can handle barbecues."
Lottie smiled. "Sure, thank you, Mr. Jennings."
Matthias nodded. "Appreciate it."
Kieran also introduced the ingredients he'd brought along, and before long, the mood among the group had become quite pleasant.
A little while later, Lottie leaned toward Celeste and whispered with a grin, "So? How does it feel being the center of attention, surrounded by handsome men?"
Celeste held her drink, completely speechless for a moment.

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....
