Jordyn handed Celeste the gift Trevor had prepared for her—but just as Celeste reached out, Jordyn pulled it back and clung to her hand coquettishly. "Mom, look at my gift first!"
Celeste paused. "...Alright."
She opened the box as Jordyn watched eagerly.
Inside was a neatly framed oil painting. The person in the painting was her. In the lower right corner, a line of small words read: "To my Mom, happy birthday."
Celeste felt her heart jolt as if struck. Her hand froze midair, gripping the frame.
Jordyn shook her hand gently. "I painted it half a month ago! Do you like it, Mom?"
Snapping out of her reverie, Celeste looked at her daughter's hopeful face. Her emotions were a tangled mess, but she answered honestly, "I love it. You're getting really good at painting, sweetheart."
Hearing that, Jordyn's face lit up with pure joy. "If you like it, I'll paint another one for you next time!"
"...Okay."
Satisfied, Jordyn finally stuffed Trevor's gift into her hand. "Mom, I have to go to school now or I'll be late! I'll come again tonight to have dinner with you, okay?"
"...Alright."
At some point, Betty and the others had also come out. Jordyn waved at them cheerfully before hopping into the car and leaving.
Once she was gone, Celeste turned back silently.
The fact that Trevor sent a gift didn't mean he wasn't still going through with the divorce today—so no one in the Rodriguez family said a word.
Adeline broke the silence. "The pancakes are ready, Cel. Come have some first."
When he opened it, Betty, standing beside him, froze.
Hector blinked. "Is this... a red diamond?"
Adeline, who knew a thing or two about jewelry, came closer for a look—and her eyes widened.
It was a red diamond. A massive one—easily over a hundred carats. An extremely rare gemstone of that size... Its value was unimaginable.
Hector remembered hearing about how Celeste had once auctioned a diamond to pay for Isabelle's medical treatment.
He didn't know much about gems, but judging from his mother's and grandmother's reactions—and the way the stone glittered like fire in his palm—he could tell this wasn't just expensive.
Seeing his confusion, Adeline finally said, her voice low, "This red diamond... is even purer and rarer than the one Cel had before—almost twice as big. I think it's worth at least two billion."

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....
