The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

“No. Mom, come home and then go with me! The hot spring retreat is so far away, and it’ll be so boring to go alone,” Jordyn said.

Celeste hesitated for a moment. Perhaps, she could go with Jordyn. “…Alright.”

YodaVision was currently developing a new app, and after dinner, Matthias called her to discuss some technical issues.

While Trevor and Jordyn were chatting in the living room, Celeste stepped outside to take the call. The conversation lasted half an hour.

Jordyn looked up at her and couldn’t help but say, “Mom, you’ve been getting so many phone calls lately. You talk for so long every night. You weren’t like this before…”

Hearing this, Trevor lifted his gaze toward her.

Peter also realized that.

After all, Celeste had never been someone who made frequent phone calls, let alone ones that lasted this long.

Could it be that she was having an affair? No… that couldn’t be, right?

Considering how deeply she felt for Trevor, that didn’t seem likely.

“It’s just about work,” Celeste said briefly. “I’m going upstairs to take care of something.”

“Okay…”

Celeste turned on her computer and began working on the files that Matthias had sent over.

Jordyn then returned to her room. Seeing that Celeste was busy, she didn’t disturb her and kept herself entertained. After taking a bath, she peeked in again.

Over the past few years, Celeste had never completely abandoned her field of expertise.

Whenever she had free time, she would design a few programs on her own. If Jordyn happened to be around, she would even teach her some basic concepts.

But back then, Jordyn was only around three years old, and she would often fall asleep while listening.

Now, as she watched from the side, Celeste didn’t stop her and simply continued working.

Jordyn couldn’t understand much, but she suddenly realized–wasn’t this similar to the kind of work Wynn did?

She watched for a while before heading to bed.

Celeste didn’t shut down her computer until she was done. Looking at the time, she realized it was already past 2:

00 am.

She had stayed in Jordyn’s room all night and hadn’t returned to the master bedroom. However, Trevor hadn’t reacted at all. Maybe he didn’t mind.

Maybe… Keeping her distance from him was exactly what he wanted.

The next morning, Celeste didn’t get up to make breakfast.

It was only when Jordyn woke up and saw her still sleeping beside her that she realized her mother had stayed with her the whole night.

Not wanting to wake her up, Jordyn got up quietly and left the room.

Seeing Trevor, she yawned. “Morning, Dad.”

Trevor hummed a response.

“Mom’s still asleep.‘

“Mm.”

By the time Celeste got up and had breakfast, Trevor had nearly finished eating. 1)

They barely spoke. Once he was done, he left the house.
