Ivan really had been getting close to Winchester Group lately, and he was actually planning a collaboration. He had no idea how Trevor found out.
But it wasn't something he needed to hide.
Seeing that Trevor was willingly opening a topic, he simply answered, "Yes."
From there, the two of them started talking about business.
Meanwhile, Martha, Celeste, and Adeline were chatting about other things.
And while Trevor discussed work with Ivan, he still took care of Jordyn—cutting up food for her, wiping her hands, the usual.
But Jordyn was pretty clingy with Celeste these days. She actually wanted her mother to take care of her instead. She brushed off Trevor's hand as he tried to roll up her sleeve.
"I want Mom to do it."
Trevor paused, laughed lightly, and looked over at Celeste.
Seeing Jordyn hold her arm out toward her, Celeste had no choice but to roll up the other sleeve for her.
Jordyn immediately grinned with satisfaction.
Watching this whole scene, the others couldn't help but feel... It actually looked kind of harmonious.
Even so, Trevor and Celeste still didn't say a single word to each other the entire meal.
But overall, the meal went surprisingly well, and in the end, Trevor still paid.
Ivan frowned. "Mr. Fleming, I said I'd treat. Why—"
"It's fine. You can treat next time," Trevor interrupted.
Next time...
Sure, Trevor had been polite while chatting during dinner, but Ivan didn't believe there would be a "next time" where they'd all sit together again.
He was certain Trevor was just being courteous.
After all, the man definitely didn't care about the cost of one meal. And with Martha present, even if he disliked the Rodriguez family, he'd still maintain superficial politeness.
But within seconds, they all acted as if they hadn't seen each other and looked away.
At the cocktail party, Celeste chatted and laughed with Lazarus and the others. She'd also had a bit to drink. Her alcohol tolerance wasn't good, so she didn't drink much.
Perhaps the liquor was too strong, as halfway through the event, her head started feeling foggy, her vision doubled, and she could barely stand straight.
Lazarus didn't realize her tolerance was that bad. He was just about to go support her when someone else stepped in faster—an arm circling her waist, pulling her straight into a firm chest.
Everyone stared, stunned.
"M-Mr. Fleming?"
Trevor nodded slightly, lowering his gaze to the woman in his arms.
Under everyone's shocked eyes, he picked her up bridal-style.
"I'll take her upstairs to rest. You all continue."

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....
