After hanging up, Jordyn got into the car with her phone in hand.
Celeste looked at her back, wanting to call out to her, wanting to say something, but after hesitating, she said nothing in the end.
Seeing this, Jordyn started sobbing again. Tears streamed down her face as she cried and urged the driver to leave.
By the time they arrived at the manor, the tears on her face still hadn't dried.
She no longer looked like she was crying, but she was clearly dejected and listless.
Hearing the sound of the car, Trevor came out of the hall to wait for her. When he saw her dazed, tear-soaked face, he bent down, lifted her into his arms, and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks.
"Are you that angry at your mom?" he asked softly.
Jordyn hadn't been crying anymore, but the moment he mentioned Celeste, she broke down again.
This time, it was silent with tears just falling.
She lifted her small face, wiping her eyes as she spoke, voice trembling. "I—I'm not angry at her. I—I just..."
"Just what?" Trevor asked.
She turned her face away, lips quivering as she cried. "Mom... Mom doesn't love me. In her heart, everything is more important than me..."
That was why she could always put other things ahead of her, why she could go back on her word.
She truly wasn't angry at her mom.
More than anger, she was hurt—hurt that she mattered so little in her mother's heart.
Trevor understood.
Holding her as he carried her inside, he comforted her gently. "It's not that your mom doesn't care about you. She just has things she needs to do too.
"If you want to spend the New Year with Mom, then tomorrow or the day after, we can go to your Granny's place and celebrate with them, okay?"
Her sobbing paused. "You'll go too?"
"Yes," Trevor replied.
Celeste had been waiting for his message. She replied quickly. "Okay."
Soon after, she called Jordyn.
Jordyn was in a better mood now. Seeing that Celeste had taken the initiative to call her, she felt a little happier still.
She waited a long moment before answering. "Hello..."
"Jo..."
Celeste held the phone, paused briefly, then asked, "Are you still angry at me?"
Jordyn turned her face away. She wanted to say yes, but then worried that Celeste might feel upset, so she answered very softly, "A little..."
"I'm sorry. It's my fault," Celeste said.
Hearing that, Jordyn's heart softened, but the hurt was still there. She said, "Mom, you can't keep breaking your promises like this in the future, okay?"
Celeste was silent for a moment. "...Okay. I got it."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
