Jorge was a little surprised.
Because of Caleb's personality and profession, he had never been particularly interested in banquets like these. He only attended occasionally, usually because he didn't want to disappoint his friends.
Since he was merely accompanying them out of loyalty, whenever Jorge or Xavier wanted to leave early, Caleb had never insisted on staying.
Caleb genuinely disliked these events.
So, for him to behave so differently tonight, there could only be one explanation. Someone he cared about was here.
The thought struck Jorge almost instantly. The woman Caleb liked was at this banquet.
A smile tugged at Jorge's lips as he turned to tease his friend, but then he noticed where Caleb's attention was focused.
Caleb was staring intently at Matthias... and Celeste.
Jorge froze before a startling thought flashed through his mind.
The smile vanished from his face, and his grip on his glass tightened instinctively.
But…
Just as he was about to dismiss the idea, a loud crash of shattering glass rang out from Celeste's direction.
Celeste let out a startled cry as she lost her balance and fell toward the floor.
Before Jorge could even react, Caleb shoved his wine glass into Xavier's hands and sprinted toward Celeste.
Jorge remained rooted to the spot, unable to move for a long moment.
Xavier stared blankly at the wine glass that had suddenly been thrust into his arms, then at Caleb's rapidly disappearing figure. "What just happened?"
Jorge kept his eyes fixed on the direction Caleb had run to, saying nothing.
…
Meanwhile, Caleb rushed to Celeste's side.
The floor was covered with broken glass.

The three men spoke almost one after another.
Just as Celeste was about to answer, Philip, having heard the commotion, hurried over with Thomas.
When he realized Celeste was the one involved, he immediately asked anxiously, "Are you alright? Were you hurt?"
Supporting herself against Matthias because of her injured ankle, Celeste finally managed to steady herself.
Looking at the concerned faces that had suddenly gathered around her, she smiled reassuringly. "I'm fine."
She then nodded to Caleb, Kieran, and Beck in thanks for their concern.


Celeste nodded. "Alright. Thank you."
Matthias immediately stepped forward. "I'll go with you."

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....
