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)
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...
