Zachary naturally came to expand the connections and opportunities for Celeste and Matthias.
Although his friends would not have neglected Celeste and Matthias even if he had been absent, it still made a difference with him personally there.
Trevor knew that Zachary had also come to the event, but he didn't deliberately go over to greet him.
It was only when he happened to run into Zachary while leaving around noon that he politely greeted him. "Mr. Newman."
Zachary merely nodded coldly.
Then he left together with Celeste and Matthias.
During the day, Celeste not only engaged in in-depth academic discussions with several veteran figures in the industry, but also accepted several interviews.
The entire day was extremely fulfilling.
Soon, it was time for the awards ceremony that evening.
At the ceremony, Celeste sat together with Zachary and Matthias. Trevor was seated not far away, but there was no interaction between them.
When Celeste received the Outstanding Paper Award, it was indeed just as the rumors online had said—Zachary personally went on stage to present the award to her.
When Zachary stepped onto the stage, the host smiled and said, "Mr. Newman, there have been rumors that you broke from your usual routine and accepted the invitation to attend this awards ceremony because you wanted to personally present the award to Ms. Rodriguez. May I ask if this rumor is true?"
Zachary's expression remained somewhat distant, but he answered directly. "Yes, it is."
His straightforward admission surprised even the host.
Celeste was surprised as well.
Although she knew that Zachary had appeared today because of her and that he had even taken two extra days off because of it, she had not expected him to admit it so openly.
When she had given up on the career she loved after getting married and having a child, Zachary had not said much.
Later, when she returned to the AI field and continued to pursue her research, he had not put much pressure on her either.
After she finished speaking, the first person she saw among the audience was Trevor when she swept her gaze downward.
Trevor was also looking at the stage. He was probably watching her.
At that moment, he was applauding just like the other audience members.
Perhaps sensing her gaze on him, he smiled.
Celeste paused. She finally looked away after a moment of hesitation.
At this time, the host turned to Celeste and asked, "Congratulations, Ms. Rodriguez. Everyone says you have a good relationship with Mr. Yoder. He's sitting right there in the audience. Is there anything you would like to say to him?"
Hearing this, Celeste thought of all the support and understanding Matthias had given her over the past year.
Warmth immediately filled her eyes, making her tear up again. But this time, she smiled.

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....
