The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Celeste couldn’t help but find it laughable as she listened.

Wynn and Trevor had met only after her marriage to him. So, Wynn was fully aware of her relationship with Trevor. There was no way Harvey didn’t know that Trevor was her husband. He had definitely known about it all along.

Yet, he shamelessly encouraged a relationship between Wynn and Trevor. It showed just how little regard Harvey had for her despite the fact that she was also his daughter.

Trevor agreed to Harvey’s request.

They then exchanged a few more pleasantries. Celeste watched as Trevor waited for Harvey to get into his car and leave. Only then did Trevor get into his own car and drive away.

Given Trevor’s status, he rarely extended such courtesy unless it was to a few select elders of the Fleming family. Clearly, he held Harvey in high regard because he was Wynn’s father

Celeste thought back to the times Trevor had met Betty and Ivan. His attitude had always been cold and indifferent. Even when she cautiously brought up Ivan’s difficulties in the past, he had refused to help.

Yet, for those who Wynn cared about, his attitude was entirely different.

His treatment of her compared to Wynn’s was worlds apart. This was the stark difference when someone loved or didn’t love another person.

A while later, Trevor left.

Celeste stood where she was for a long time before finally heading into Luxe Haven.

In the evening, after Celeste was done with work, she went home to retrieve the gifts she had prepared for the Fleming family elders. She then drove to Fleming Manor.

Located on the outskirts of the capital, Fleming Manor was surrounded by lush mountains and serene scenery, making it an ideal dwelling place for the elderly. The only drawback was its distance from the city center.

It took Celeste an hour and a half to get there.

After parking her car, she picked up the gifts and was about to enter when she heard Jordyn laughing happily inside.

Martha was seated near the entrance. She noticed Celeste immediately and beamed widely. “You’re finally here, Cel. Come sit with me.”

While Martha greeted her warmly, the same couldn’t be said for Trevor’s mother, Queenie Scott. Teagan and Nicholas didn’t look pleased as well. All of their smiles visibly faded upon seeing Celeste.

Celeste noticed but didn’t care a much as she once might have.

She smiled faintly and handed the gifts to the approaching, housekeeper. Then, she walked over to Martha and greeted, “Good evening, Grandma.”

“Good evening,” Martha replied, her face lighting up. She took Celeste’s hand and guided her to sit down. But as she looked more closely, lier smile faltered “You’ve lost weight! Has Trevor been mistreating you?”

Celeste lowered her gaze and shook her head. “No, I’ve just been busy lately.”

Her response was partly true. Trevor hadn’t mistreated her directly, but her mood often suffered h

Moreover, she had been immersing herself in Al research every night after work. Sometimes, she even stayed up. until the early hours.

Her recent weight loss was partly due to this.

Before Martha could say more, Teagan scoffed. “From the way you put it, anyone would think your job is so important that the entire Fleming Group depends on you.”

Queenie, ever the elegant and composed lady, sipped her drink and remarked coolly, “If you find working at Fleming Group so exhausting, you might as well quit. Afterall, no one begged you to work there.”

Teagan laughed. “Exactly! Maybe someone just can’t bear to leave.”

Martha didn’t like how they were taking sarcastic jabs at Celeste.

She was about to intervene when Celeste spoke first. “I’ve already submitted my resignation. Once I finish handing over my duties, I’ll leave Fleming Group.”

Her words caught Queenie and Teagan off guard, and they froze momentarily.

Martha frowned and started, “Cel-

“Is Mom here?” Jordyn’s voice cut through the tension. She had just come down from the second floor via the

elevator.

When she saw Celeste, she looked genuinely happy. After all, it had been over two weeks since they last spoke. She ran over and threw herself into Celeste’s arms. “Mom!”

Celeste hesitated for a moment before gently hugging her back and murmuring, “Hey there.”

Martha decided to drop the earlier topic since Jordyn was here now.

With a warm smile on her face, she said to Celeste, “Cel, it’s been ages since I had your tea. Make me a cup, would you?”

Growing up with Betty, Celeste had developed a talent for making tea. Her skills were refined, and she excelled in brewing tea.

Celeste replied warmly, “Well, I can do that, but dinner is almost ready…”

Teagan preferred coffee over tea. Moreover, she disliked seeing Celeste show off her tea–making skills. So, she interjected, “Exactly. Dinner will be served as soon as Trevor and Tucker are back.”

As if on cue, Trevor entered.

He greeted Martha and Queenie first. When his gaze landed on Celeste, he quickly looked away and sat on a single-

seat couch far from her.

Upon seeing Trevor, Jordyn immediately moved away from Celeste and ran over to him. “Dad!”

Trevor hugged her briefly and glanced around the room as if about to say something when Tucker arrived. He was much younger than both Trevor and Teagan. Presently, he was still a teenager with a lively personality,
