The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134

Perhaps guessing the reason for Celeste’s hesitation, Beck said, “I can guarantee you that personal matters will never interfere with business between me and your uncle.”

Hearing this, Celeste asked, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

Celeste knew Ivan’s company was in a difficult situation. So, after a moment of hesitation, she said, “Alright.”

“Let me know when you’re free, and I’ll arrange a time to meet.”

“Alright,” Celeste replied.

At that moment, Beck looked at her dark hair, slightly tousled by the cold wind, and said, “The night wind is chilly. You should head inside.”

Celeste paused. Those were the exact same words Trevor had said to her just moments ago.

She nodded without saying anything else and got into her car.

Beck remained where he was.

As her car passed him, Celeste rolled down the window, nodded to him as a farewell, then stepped on the gas and drove away.

Only after watching her car disappear into the distance did Beck get into his own car and leave.

Betty, Ivan, and Adeline were still awake, though Jamie and Hector had already gone upstairs to rest.

When they saw her return, they all looked over at her in unison. It was obvious they had been waiting for her. Betty said, “You’re back?”

“Mm.” Seeing her grandma extend her hand, Celeste set down her bag and walked over to sit beside her. Holding her hand, Betty asked, “Cel, have you decided to let go of Trevor?”

Her attitude toward him today was drastically different from before. It was impossible not to notice. “Yes,” Celeste replied. “We’re planning to get a divorce.”

Hearing this, Betty smiled. “Good, good. Divorce is a good thing.‘

But then she frowned and said, “Jo is very attached to him, and to be fair, he has treated her quite well these past two years. He probably won’t give you custody that easily. This…”

Celeste didn’t want custody of Jordyn. But she didn’t say it outright.

Celeste simply responded, “I know. I’ll talk to him properly about that. It’s getting late–everyone should rest.”

The others went to bed, but Celeste couldn’t rest yet.

Zachary and Matthías had been discussing various topics on their way home, and by the time she got back to her room, she had already received a task list from Matthias.

He had even noted, “This is for the professor. It needs to be completed by six tomorrow morning.”

Celeste set down her bag, took a sip of water, and replied, Got it.”

Without removing her makeup or taking a shower, she immediately turned on her laptop and got to work.

Finally, at around 4:00 am, she finished the tasks and sent the completed files over.

Matthias was also swamped with work, but he was nearly done as well. He then sent her a message: “The professor wants us at his place before nine.”

Celeste replied, “Alright.”

They didn’t chat any further.

After shutting down her computer, Celeste went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and shower.

By the time she finished everything, it was already past 5:00 am.

She set an alarm for three hours later before finally turning off the lights and going to bed.
