Celeste shook her head.
Matthias asked, "Is it still because he's busy with work?"
"Mm."
Matthias fell silent.
Granted, Trevor's recent business ventures had been making waves, but no matter how busy he was, it didn't make sense that he couldn't spare even half an hour to finalize a divorce.
If Matthias didn't already know the full story, he might've thought Trevor was deliberately dragging his feet. But knowing their situation, that was impossible.
He patted Celeste's shoulder. "Then give it a few more days. If he still hasn't made time by the end of the reflection period, just file for divorce directly."
Celeste nodded. "Okay."
Although she said that, deep down, she didn't think it would come to that.
…
Two days later, it was Celeste's birthday.
She woke up early that morning. Betty and Adeline were already busy in the kitchen, making pancakes and preparing cake.
They had long since gotten her birthday gifts ready.
When Celeste came downstairs, they handed them to her with smiles.
"Cel, happy birthday! You've grown another year older."
"Happy birthday, Celeste!"
Warmth filled her heart as she took each gift. "Thank you."
The pancakes weren't done yet, and they were still chatting when the phone rang—security calling to say someone was at the gate.
When she heard the license plate number, she knew it was Trevor's car.
Everyone in the Rodriguez family froze, their smiles stiffening and faces darkening.
They all knew the only reason Celeste and Trevor hadn't gone to finalize their divorce was that he'd been busy.
He'd always been very firm about wanting the divorce.
Outside, the sound of a car pulling up broke the silence.
Hector, still fuming, started toward the door, but Celeste stopped him. "Celeste—"
She shook her head. "Don't."
She went out alone.
As soon as she reached the doorway, the car door opened and Jordyn hopped out, clutching something in her arms.
Seeing her, the little girl ran over with a bright smile. "Mom, happy birthday!"
Celeste froze.
Jordyn held out what she was carrying. "Mom, this is my gift for you!"
Before Celeste could speak, Jordyn rummaged in her backpack and pulled out another box.
"This one's from Dad. He couldn't come, so he asked me to bring it. He also told me to say happy birthday for him!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Another saviour debt?? Seriously?...
I just need an effing glimpse to what goes around in Trevor's mind. Author - do something about it please There is not even a single mention about what Trevor really wants - interested in Celeste? If yes, then why there is no reaction on seeing people courting Celeste...
I love the story bt really death slow... Y cant you post 5 to 10 chapters per day????...
This reads like a daily diary account...and not a story with a planned plotline. Author, we would share if you took the time to start developing the story, rather than dragging it out with outlines. no depth, no character development, not even the overused tropes are present, just a daily itinerary. We want you to do well..but you have to put the work in making it a viable story...
The storyline is moving painfully slow.. Will we ever get to hear Trevor's side of story? Currently the mixed signals from Trevor are just confusing and frustrating. He is using Jordyn to postpone the divorce and side by side ignoring Wynn to the level that he didnt invite her to the Fleming group banquet. But when asked about clarifying divorce to Jordyn, he is not doing so. Awfully frustrating...
Team beck or Caleb. Trevor has wynn saved his contact as 'babe', kissing her in office and spending nights with her. How in initial chapters Trevor pushed jordyn towards wynn without caring about a mother's feelings. Now he is two timing, suddenly interested in Celeste after knowing background and leaving wynnn behind. Spineless man. He knows cels history with her father, still chose to support them. I don't how people are rooting for cel and Trevor. I wish truth comes out. Cel deserves someone who loves her with whole heart. She thrives in her field. Beck saw cel when she was not famous. But Caleb is good option too. I hope Celeste grows spine starts to demand explaination for dragging divorce....
Author - dont you think the story has been dragged as is? Now, you want to include the angle of Wynn being pregnant as well? God, i really want to know Trevor side of story, why is he playing both sides?...
Are they going to compromise for Jordyns sake? I'll be sad for Celeste if that happens. Why is author giving mixed signals in almost every alternate chapter? Initially Trevor and Wynn were always appearing together along with huge PDA, then Trevor seems involved with Celeste - when she was under alcohol influence, then Trevor seemed to be ignoring Wynn - all the while divorce proceedings are still on and now Jordyn is getting depressed because of their situation. Feels like we are just roaming around the bush or the author is making us do that. Sigh!!...
I don't understand where this story is headed to.. I can't seem to know what Trevor is thinking, in late 500 chapters, he was seen dodging the divorce, ignoring Wynn and now at 624, he is planning on how to tell Jordyn about the divorce. This is messed up!...
My fav novel post us more chap per day...
