The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Matthias paused. What? This is such a coincidence.

Trevor replied calmly, It is.

Matthias said, There are a lot of us. Mr. Fleming, why don’t you take the elevator first? We’ll wait for the next

one.

Sure. See you next time.

See you.

The elevator doors closed, leaving Celeste, Matthias, and the others to wait for the next one.

When the elevator arrived, Celeste’s phone rang as they stepped inside. It was Jordyn calling. After excusing herself from the others, Celeste answered, Hello?

Mom, are you off work? When are you coming home?

Ever since Celeste injured her ankle, Jordyn had been calling her daily to check in. When she heard yesterday that Celeste’s ankle had healed, she had asked when Celeste would be coming home.

Celeste had been too busy with work to promise anything yesterday. Now, hearing Jordyn’s question again, she said, I just finished up. I’ll be home soon.

By the time she ended the call, the elevator had reached the ground floor.

Henry, who was curious, asked, Ms. Rodriguez, do you have a child?

Yes,Celeste replied.

Really? I had no idea.

He had assumed Celeste and Matthias were a couple. After all, their relationship seemed close, and Matthias was particularly attentive to her.

Jonathan was equally surprised. Celeste looked so young. It was hard to believe she already had a child.

Casually, he asked, Is your husband in the same line of work as us?

Celeste hesitated briefly before answering, Sort of.

Henry, having discussed technical topics with Celeste before, knew she was highly skilled in her field. He also assumed her husband was in the same industry. He wanted to ask his name but stopped himself when he noticed Celeste’s detached demeanor. It seemed as if she didn’t want to talk about it.
