The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 551
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 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....
I just love how tables have turned....
About time… now where’s Trevor, Harvey’s and the others public shame???...
After this moment, the day of the downfall of the Shaw and Lockett families began....
