Celeste paused for a moment.
Kieran, however, just smiled and said, "It's fine. You can eat it later when you're hungry. If you don't feel like having this, I'll make something fresh for you later."
Celeste hesitated, then replied softly, "...Alright. Thank you."
For a brief moment, the three of them fell into an awkward silence.
Noticing Celeste's discomfort, Lottie and Matthias quickly stepped in to ease the tension.
Lottie said, "Mr. Briggs brought his guitar. Come on, let's go listen to him sing."
Celeste and Lottie walked off, leaving Caleb and Kieran standing there. The two men exchanged a glance, said nothing, and quietly went back to the bonfire they had built earlier.
Wynn and her group didn't hear what Kieran or Caleb had said to Celeste, but after seeing that scene, Wynn froze for a moment. It almost looked like something was going on, but then she shook her head, thinking she might be overanalyzing.
Miles's friends also happened to know Caleb.
They hadn't paid him much attention before, since they weren't close.
But now, seeing that moment, one of them withdrew his gaze and said, "Who's that woman? She's seriously beautiful. No wonder even Mr. Jennings, who never shows interest in women, seems to be falling for her."
Linda instantly bristled. "What do you mean by that? Don't be stupid. Mr. Jennings wouldn't possibly like her."
Her irritation wasn't just denial. She couldn't accept that a man as outstanding as Caleb might actually be interested in Celeste.
Besides, as far as she knew, Celeste and Matthias were basically a couple. How could there be anything between her and Caleb?
And even if Caleb did like Celeste, he wouldn't openly make a move in front of Matthias, right? If he really did, Matthias would have lost his temper already.
As for Kieran, that was even more unlikely. Everyone knew he liked Wynn.
Celeste didn't know what Wynn's group thought.
Asher Briggs was one of Matthias's friends, and he was pretty good at playing the guitar.
Their group sat around, listening to him sing and play, while Lottie, being the outgoing type, even picked a few songs and sang along with him.
Matthias coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "I like stargazing too. Mind if I join?"
And just like that, the four of them ended up setting up their telescopes together.
From a short distance away, Wynn and Linda couldn't help glancing over from time to time.
If, before, Wynn could convince herself that Caleb and Kieran walking over to Celeste was just a coincidence, the scene now made it hard to deny the fact that Caleb clearly was interested in Celeste.
As for Kieran... She thought he was probably just pretending.
But remembering how cold and distant Kieran had been toward her lately, Wynn couldn't shake off a faint sense of unease.
To Linda and Miles, though, Celeste and Matthias were already considered a couple.
Even when Caleb and Kieran approached them, since they couldn't hear what was being said, they naturally assumed the men were talking to Matthias, nothing more.
Just then, Beck finally arrived.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I wonder what happened to Jo... What is the story behind that court summons?...
A court summons? Oh my God, what happened?...
Here we go again…drip-drop. One page a day instead of the promised 5 Chapters and even that stops suddenly so we never know if the story will advance. I swear this author is writing the new page on their lunch break and laughing at us when we get frustrated....
I feel like reading the novel from everyone else's perspective, but the main characters. There has never been a glimpse on Trevor's side of thoughts or intentions. He feels like a ghost in this whole storyline. Although i am glad that Mathias revealed the truth about Celeste, but it still feels empty without main character's thoughts or feelings or voices being shared....
Wynn's reputation is over. I read all these chapters for this moment... I'm really glad that Matthias finally said everything at once. All thanks to the fool Quinton...
So we're going to keep going in circles atp,nothing was revealed that we didn't already know,I mean I would've at least liked to see Trevor's reaction to finding out his wife is the co-owner and coder to CUAP,find out who drugged them.Whats happening with the military blacksite,how come Celeste is so quiet she never stands up for herself. All we're getting is reaction's from side character's who don't matter...
Yes.. I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters......
I don't really understand the writer. Why are Trevor and Celeste silent now? Isn't it about them?...
Who the helly is georgette 😆...
Alas..the truth that has been buried since…is prevailing....
