Along with Beck's bouquet came a simple card and a small handmade flower from Shanice. That gift from Shanice had been sent through Beck.
In Celeste's view, Beck sending flowers was nothing more than politeness. Even if it was just courtesy, since she had received the gift, it was only proper to thank him personally.
So, she called him.
Beck had been expecting her call, and he'd been waiting for it for quite a while.
So, the moment her number appeared, he answered immediately and spoke first, "Got the gift? Happy birthday."
"Yes, I did. Thank you for the flowers, and please also tell Shanice that I really liked her gift."
Beck chuckled softly. "I will. Shanice actually prepared and sent it out half a month ago. Knowing you liked it will make her really happy."
Hearing that, Celeste's heart warmed. "Please tell her that when she's free to come back to Baumond, I'd like to take her out for a meal."
"Alright, I'll tell her."
"Then I'll leave you to it," Celeste said. "And... Thank you again for the flowers."
Beck, of course, didn't want the call to end so soon. But—
"You're welcome."
After the call ended, Celeste paused for a moment, then dialed Caleb's number.
The call didn't go through. She figured the flowers must've been arranged in advance, as he was probably still at the military base.
So, she sent him a short message instead—a brief thank-you, along with a gentle but clear reminder of her boundaries.
Right after that, she sent a similar message to Kieran.
…
Meanwhile, after hanging up, the smile on Beck's face slowly faded.
After a long pause, he picked up his phone again and called Miles.
Even so, not having half an hour to spare was still a bit too much.
He didn't reply.
Miles sighed again on the other end. "Forget it. He's probably more fed up with it than we are."
"Mm."
"How about lunch later?" Miles suggested. "I'll call Wynn too."
At the mention of Wynn, Beck hesitated slightly.
"Let's wait till Trevor's back before we do that."
Without Trevor, a meal between the three of them just didn't feel the same.
Miles laughed. "Alright then."

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...
