When Celeste walked into the house, she discovered that Martha had come to visit.
Seeing her, Martha smiled. "Cel, you're back."
Celeste smiled as well. She set down her bag and sat beside her. "Grandma, when did you get back?"
Celeste knew that Martha had gone to another city to escape the summer heat some time ago.
Martha took her hand. "I got back around noon today. I bought quite a few local specialties while I was there, so I brought some over for all of you."
After chatting for a while, they sat down for dinner.
During the meal, Martha shared plenty of amusing stories from her time in the other city. She and Betty hadn't seen each other in quite some time, so they had no shortage of things to talk about.
Martha stayed until nearly nine that evening before finally preparing to leave.
As Celeste and Betty walked her to the door, Martha's smile finally faded.
After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I've heard about everything that's happened these past two days. As for what happened with the Locket family's company, Lincoln and I have already spoken to him. He agreed not to step in and help them, but..."
But even if Trevor had agreed not to help the Locket family for now, no one could say what he would do once the situation died down.
Celeste and Betty had already thought of that from the beginning, even without Martha saying it aloud. They also knew that this was probably the main reason Martha had come over tonight—to make her position clear to them.
Martha took Betty's hand, her eyes turning slightly red.
"The Lockets and Shaws have done so much harm to Isabelle, and yet my useless grandson still..." Her voice trembled.
"My friend, I'm... I'm so sorry. I know I shouldn't have come to see you anymore, but I couldn't just pretend I knew nothing about this..."
No matter what, she still had to make her position clear to the Rodriguez family over what had happened recently.
Otherwise, she was afraid that the friendship between their families, which had lasted for so many years, would slowly fall apart.
"We've been friends for so many years. Don't say things like that." Betty quickly took her hand and patted it gently.



Celeste went to work as usual, and with how busy she was, the days seemed to fly by.
On Friday, Celeste attended a seminar.
The moment she stepped inside, she ran into Beck and Miles. Beck greeted her first. "You're here."
"Yeah."
Miles looked somewhat uncomfortable when he saw her. He didn't say anything.
Celeste didn't greet him either. Instead, she turned to Beck. "I'm going to say hi to a friend."
"Sure. Go ahead."
Miles watched her walk away before turning to Beck. "Trevor still hasn't come back..."
He hesitated before asking, "Does he really have that many things to deal with?"

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....
