The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 554
That afternoon, when Celeste got home, Jordyn had just returned from school.
The moment Celeste stepped through the door, she heard her daughter talking on the phone. Seeing her, Jordyn's face lit up. "Mom!" she called out happily.
Then, whatever the person on the other end said made Jordyn's eyes brighten even more. She ran over with the phone in hand. "Mom, Dad wants to talk to you."
Celeste was stunned for a moment. Then, she took the phone, pressed it to her ear, and said, "Hello."
"Happy birthday."
Celeste didn't answer immediately. There was a brief silence before she finally replied, "Thank you."
By right, this was the moment she should've mentioned the gift he'd sent that morning, maybe said something polite in return. But holding the phone, she said nothing. Not a word.
Trevor didn't bring it up either. It was as if that extravagantly expensive gift hadn't come from him at all.
"I've got a lot going on over here," he said calmly. "I probably won't be back for a while."
Celeste understood immediately what he meant. She pressed her lips together, silent.
When she didn't respond, Trevor asked, "Are you mad?"
She didn't answer that either—her voice stayed flat as she said, "Anything else?"
"No."
The moment the words left his mouth, she hung up—clean, decisive. But just before the line went dead, she thought she'd heard him laugh.
Her hand froze around the phone. Her brow furrowed slightly.
Trevor had already told Jordyn he wouldn't be back anytime soon. So, for the next few days, the little girl naturally stayed at the Rodriguez residence.
In the next few days, he called home almost every day.
Harvey looked tempted too, but he spoke honestly, "Those projects he's in—normal folks can't just jump in. If something goes wrong, Trevor's the one who has to answer for it.
"Besides, these aren't small ventures. The capital requirement alone already shuts most people out."
They simply didn't have that kind of money.
Luther snorted. "If Trevor really wanted to help, there'd always be a way."
Wynn stayed quiet. But she knew her uncle wasn't wrong.
If Trevor truly wanted to give her family a boost, he absolutely could.
If this had been a month or two ago, she would've been certain—certain that he'd have gone out of his way to help her.
But now—

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....
