The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269

When Queenie and the others arrived and didn’t see Celeste, they assumed she had gone to the airport with Trevor to pick Jordyn up.

Now that Trevor and Jordyn had returned home, but Celeste was still nowhere to be seen, they found it odd,

However, since they didn’t really care about Celeste, they couldn’t be bothered to ask.

Trevor simply said, “She’s busy.”

Tucker didn’t question it and continued playing with Jordyn.

Martha, however, understood what was going on but chose to remain silent.

After dinner, Jordyn played by herself for a while, but soon got bored and decided to call Celeste.

Even though it was the holidays, Celeste had no intention of letting herself be idle.

When Jordyn’s call came in, Celeste was in the middle of reviewing some documents sent by Zachary.

Seeing the caller ID and realizing it had been nearly a month since they last saw each other, she casually picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

Celeste hadn’t answered her calls for so long that Jordyn had almost lost hope.

Hearing her mom pick up out of the blue, she was overjoyed “Mom!”

Celeste’s attention remained on her computer as she responded indifferently, “Mm.”

Jordyn didn’t notice her detached tone and excitedly said, “Mom, I’m back from being abroad!”

Celeste didn’t even know she left the country. So, hearing this, she simply responded with a brief hum as acknowledgement.

From the moment Celeste answered the call, Jordyn had been on cloud nine. She jumped around on the bed excitedly.

“Mom, when will you be done with work? Are you coming home tonight? I want you to hold me while I sleep, and I have so many fun things to tell you!

“Also, I really want to eat your breakfast tomorrow morning. When are you coming back?”

Celeste didn’t tell her that she wouldn’t be going back to the Fleming Manor anymore. Instead, she said, “I’m really busy right now. Next month, I’ll take you out to play.”

It had been a long time since Celeste had taken her out. The thought of going on an outing together made jordyn very happy.

“Next month?” Even though next month was only a few days away, it still felt like a long wait for Jordyn.

She didn’t complain, though. Instead, she asked, “When exactly next month?”

Even through the phone, Celeste could feel Jordyn’s eagerness to talk to her and see her.

Her grip on the mouse tightened slightly before she finally said, “We’ll see when the time comes. I’ll let you knew once I decide, okay?”

“Okay.”

Celeste asked, “Have you taken a bath yet?”

“Not yet. But soon.

“Then go take your bath. I still have work to do. I’ll hang up now.”

“We just started talking, and you’re already hanging up?” Jordyn was reluctant to end the call.

She glanced at the call duration and protested, “Mom, It’s only been two minutes! Can’t we talk a little longer?”

Celeste replied, “Next time, when I have time, if you want to talk, we can talk longer.
