The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 759

Celeste shook her head and replied gently, "No need. We already had dinner before coming back."

But Jordyn seemed to think of something and looked annoyed with herself.

"That's right! If I'd known Mom was going to come home tonight, we could've just had dinner here. Mom hasn't had dinner at home in a really, really, really long time."

She almost forgot what it was like to have her mom sitting down to dinner with her and her dad.

Over the past year or so, Celeste had rarely stayed for dinner, even when she came back because of Jordyn. Instead, she had stayed overnight and eaten breakfast here quite a few times.

However, Celeste didn't point that out. She simply smiled, patted Jordyn's head, and changed the subject.

"Didn't you want to show me the things you've been collecting lately? Where are they? Take me to see them."

Sure enough, Jordyn's attention was immediately diverted. She grabbed Celeste's hand and hurried upstairs. "They're all in my room! Come on, Mom!"

Although Celeste and Jordyn saw each other about once a week, most of the time it was Jordyn who went to the Rodriguez residence to visit her.

Whenever they met, Jordyn would excitedly share stories about school, her friends, and everything happening in her life.

There were now many more certificates tucked away in her drawers. Several trophies had appeared on the bookshelf along the wall, alongside numerous little trinkets she had either collected herself or received from Trevor.

Each of them carried traces of her growth.

Looking at them, Celeste realized that she had actually spent even less time and energy participating in Jordyn's life than she had thought.

She stayed in Jordyn's room, listening as the girl eagerly shared stories about her hobbies and all sorts of interesting things.

Recently, Jordyn had started learning chess.

She found that she was genuinely interested in it. So, Trevor had specially commissioned a custom chess set for her some time ago.

The set consisted of black pieces carved from rare black stones and white pieces made from premium white stones. The pieces felt smooth and warm to the touch.

The set was estimated to be worth close to ten million dollars.

The chess set had only arrived the day before.

Trevor smiled. "Really?"

"Of course!"

Then, Jordyn asked, "Dad, what are you here for? Are you done with work?"

"Not yet. I still have a video conference later."

Then, he added, "I just came by to check on you two."

"...Oh."

Jordyn waved him off immediately. "Then you can go. Don't interrupt Mom and me while we're playing."

Trevor laughed. "Alright, you two carry on."
