Celeste paused for a moment before replying, "Happy New Year."
She was about to turn off her phone and go to sleep when Matthias sent her another message, asking if she wanted to go with him the next morning to visit Zachary and his wife.
Celeste replied, "Okay."
Only then did she put down her phone and go to sleep.
The villa area was relatively quiet during the New Year period. Without the usual noise of fireworks, Celeste slept soundly until morning.
When she woke up, Jordyn was already awake.
"Mom, Happy New Year!"
Celeste smiled and handed her the gift box she had prepared before leaving the house the day before.
"Happy New Year."
Jordyn was delighted to receive the gift box from Celeste.
After washing up, they went downstairs and discovered that Trevor was already awake and was on the phone.
Seeing them come down, he turned his head toward them and said to the person on the other end of the call, "Alright, Grandma. We'll head back shortly."
After hanging up, he handed the gift box he had prepared to Jordyn.
"Happy New Year."
Jordyn happily accepted it.
"Happy New Year! Thank you, Dad!"
Then she added to Trevor, "Mom gave me a gift box too!"
Trevor smiled and looked toward Celeste.
"Did she?"
After saying that, his gaze lingered on her as he added, "Grandma asked us to go back to the manor."
It was still early. If they headed over to the manor now for breakfast, Celeste would still have time to return to the Rodriguez family afterward.
But Celeste said, "Please help me tell Grandma that I won't be going over."
Hearing that, Trevor didn't try to persuade her.
"Alright."
After the cooking was done, Celeste received a call from Jordyn, saying that she would come over to the Rodriguez family home a little later.
Recently, Isabelle's condition had been relatively stable. She hadn't had any episodes lately, and she even looked a little healthier than she had at the same time last year.
Seeing that she seemed more energetic than before made Celeste and Betty feel genuinely happy for her.
But when they thought about how she had to spend her days either in the nursing home or the hospital, they still couldn't help feeling sad.
The Rodriguez family chatted with the nursing home director for a while longer. After watching Isabelle finish the food they had prepared, they finally left the facility.
After leaving the nursing home, Celeste greeted the other members of the Rodriguez family and then headed straight to Zachary's house.
Zachary and his wife rarely had time to stay home for the New Year.
By the time she arrived, the entrance to Zachary's villa was already filled with parked cars.
After parking her car, Celeste carried the gifts and entered the house.
The people in the living room all turned to look when they heard the movement.
Before Celeste could clearly see who was inside, Nadine walked toward her with a smile.
"Cece, you're here."

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....
