The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 688

After they finished work, it was already getting dark. So, Quincy suggested they go for a meal together.

Trevor said, "Sorry, I have something to take care of. Let's do dinner another time."

Quincy chuckled. "Don't tell me you're going to have dinner with Ms. Locket?"

Trevor paused for a moment, but didn't deny it.

Seeing that, Quincy immediately understood that he was admitting it by not answering. "I heard Ms. Locket recovered a few days ago. You're still treating her like a treasure? Do you really need to accompany her for meals every day…"

Halfway through his sentence, Quincy's gaze flicked toward Celeste. So, he abruptly stopped. Then he quickly apologized, "Sorry, I mean... Because you two—"

He knew about the situation between Celeste and Trevor. But these past days, the two of them acted as if they were nothing more than business partners whenever they met.

Sometimes, he genuinely forgot that there had ever been anything between them.

Celeste could tell Quincy meant no harm. She also roughly understood what he meant.

Her expression didn't change. "It's fine."

Kieran found it a little strange, not understanding why Quincy suddenly apologized to Celeste. He couldn't figure it out, but since it didn't seem like a big deal, he didn't dwell on it.

The room suddenly grew quiet.

It was Trevor who broke the silence first.

Without any change in expression, he looked at Celeste. "We'll get together next time. I'm heading off."

Celeste nodded silently while Quincy just sat still.

Looking at how polite and distant they were, who would have ever guessed that they used to be a couple?

If it had only been due to unforeseen events, they probably wouldn't have remained officially married for so long.

When Kieran asked these questions, his tone was gentle with no sense of intrusion or pressure. He simply wanted to understand.

Celeste replied calmly, "There were unexpected factors and other reasons."

Kieran was actually curious about the "other reasons." But he also knew it wasn't appropriate to keep pressing.

He nodded and didn't ask further. Instead, he said, "Then I'll ask you again after some time. If you really have divorced by then, will you tell me?"

There was nothing wrong with telling him the result. But—

Celeste couldn't say anything.
