The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45

After walking some distance, Lottie looked at Celeste with concern. “Cel…”

Celeste shook her head and said lightly, “I’m fine.”

From the moment Harvey had divorced her mother, he had stopped being her father. (1

What pained her was how her presence had added to her uncle’s burdens.

As for Trevor’s favoritism.

Thinking about how Trevor only cared about Wynn, how ruthless he was toward Matthias and Ivan for Wynn’s sake, and how he had never considered her feelings, it felt like a knife was stabbing into her heart.

The pain was unbearable.

“Cel…” Lottie hugged her, feeling her own heart break for her dear friend.

Celeste forced a smile but didn’t say anything.

It was fine. She had already decided to move on. She just needed a little time. She could do it.

“Want to grab a drink?” Lottie thought Celeste needed to relax.

But, Celeste shook her head. “No.”

Rather than drinking, she preferred going home to work on her data. That was when she could truly calm down, relax, and regain her sense of self.

Hearing this, Lottie didn’t insist.

The two of them headed to the parking lot. Just before getting into the car, Celeste’s phone rang. It was Jordyn.

The faint smile on Celeste’s face quickly faded. She paused for two or three seconds before picking up. “Hello.”

On the other end, Jordyn whined, “Mom, when are you coming home?”

Celeste didn’t answer and instead asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m so bored being home alone. Mom, can you come back and keep me company?”

Trever wasn’t home and Wynn had things to do. The house was so quiet.

Jordyn suddenly missed the days when Celeste would chat with her and listen gently as she talked about her favorite cartoons and toys.

So, she called Celeste, hoping she would come back.

Hearing this, Celeste replied indifferently, “I have things to do. Maybe next time.”

She was her mother, so she had a responsibility to fulfill her child’s needs as much as possible. But she also had her own life.

Right now, she wasn’t in a good mood and needed some time to herself.

Jordyn sounded a little unhappy. “Alright then…”

“I’m hanging up. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Hanging up sullenly, Jordyn felt even more bored.

Chapter 45

At that moment, Trevor came back home. Seeing her looking dejected, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I just called Mom and asked her to come home and keep me company, but she said she had things to do…”

She buried her delicate face into the soft pillow. “She has been so busy lately,”

Trevor responded with a hum and then sat on the sofa, handling business matters on his phone without comforting her.

But he didn’t go to his study to work as usual. Instead, he stayed in the living room with her.
