In the Rodriguez family's eyes, Trevor was now first and foremost Jordyn's father.
And since he had previously helped Isabelle find a doctor to treat her illness, he was also considered a benefactor of the Rodriguez family.
Because of that, everyone treated him quite politely.
Still, with Trevor present, the atmosphere at the dining table was inevitably a little awkward.
During the meal, Celeste spoke very little. Jordyn, on the other hand, was in high spirits—Celeste had made many of her favorite dishes.
As for Trevor, although Celeste hadn't known in advance that he would be coming, she still observed basic courtesy and hastily made two dishes that he liked.
Trevor seemed to notice. After sitting down, he looked at Celeste and said, "Thank you."
Celeste replied calmly, "It's only right."
Seeing that Celeste didn't seem inclined to talk much with Trevor, Ivan stepped in and deliberately changed the topic.
Trevor followed along and began chatting with Ivan instead.
Not long after, while Trevor and Ivan were deep in conversation, Celeste's phone rang.
It was a call from Caleb.
Celeste paused. Before she could react, she noticed that Trevor had happened to glance over.
She didn't look at him. Holding her phone, she stood up and said to the others, "I'll take a call."
She walked a little farther away before answering. "Hello."
On the other end, Caleb's voice carried a smile. "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year," Celeste replied.
"Do you have time later? Want to go out for a walk?"
Celeste answered the call out of consideration for their past ties, but there was no way she could agree to his invitation. "I need to stay with my daughter, so I can't get away. Sorry."
It was an expected answer.
Caleb fell silent for a second, but didn't seem bothered. He smiled and said, "Alright, I understand."
Then he asked, "Have you eaten?"
"We're eating now."
"Okay, then I won't interrupt your meal. I'll contact you later."
"I see..."
"What about you?"
"I'm eating now."
"I see..."
From the fact that she had asked whether he'd eaten, Kieran could tell she was concerned about him. He was quite happy.
Now that he knew she was having a meal with her family, he didn't want to disturb her and said, "Then I won't interrupt your family time. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
After hanging up, Celeste went back and sat down.
Jordyn said, "Mom, you're getting so many calls."
Celeste smiled, picked up a piece of meat for her, and didn't say anything.
Trevor watched quietly and also said nothing.
At that moment, however, his own phone rang as well.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Somehow i am relieved today to see no updates than to be disappointed with yet another irritating show of everyone else's POV but the main characters...
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....
