The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

Although Martha spoke sternly, she still shot a glare at Trevor.

Trevor remained unfazed and didn’t react. He didn’t need another reminder; he simply picked up a dish and placed some food on Celeste’s plate.

Celeste responded, “Thank you.”

Martha then mentioned that she had brought a variety of health supplements for them. After dinner, she planned to personally oversee the preparation of some nourishing soups for Celeste and Trevor.

Celeste couldn’t refuse and could only nod in agreement.

Martha had spent time in Yorkhaven in her younger years and had mastered the art of making rich, slow–cooked broths.

After dinner, she went to the kitchen to personally guide the staff in preparing the tonics. When Celeste tried to help, Martha simply pushed her out of the kitchen.

Left with no other choice, Celeste sat down on the couch.

Jordyn and Trevor were also there–one focused on her Artisan’s Puzzle, the other on his phone, busy with work. The room was silent.

At that moment, Matthias messaged Celeste about something work–related. After seeing the content, she immediately replied, fully absorbed in the discussion.

She was so focused that she didn’t even notice when Martha walked out of the kitchen.

Trevor, however, had already put down his phone.

When she realized that, Celeste quickly set her own phone aside. “Grandma.”

Martha glanced at the three of them, sighed, and muttered, “You all…”

Not knowing what else to say, she sat beside Celeste and asked, “What were you so busy with?”

“Just some work–related matters.”

Martha snorted and gestured toward Trevor. “You can discuss work with him, can’t you? Or is he just decoration sitting here?”

Celeste froze for a moment. She didn’t mention that she had already resigned from Fleming Group.

She glanced at Trevor.

He seemed to be in a relatively good mood and made no effort to correct Martha or tell her that Celeste no longer worked at the company.

Perhaps he was worried that if she found out, Martha would insist on her returning to Fleming Group.

Martha soon moved on to another topic and then pulled both Celeste and Trevor along for a walk in the garden.

After their stroll, Martha grow tired. “I’m going to take a bath and get some rest. When the soup is ready, don’t forget to drink it.”

Celeste was about to respond when she suddenly realized the implication of Martha’s words. She hesitated and turned to look at Trevor.

Seemingly anticipating her reaction, Trevor said, “Grandina is planning to stay here for a while.”

“What?” Celeste was stunned.

Trevor didn’t elaborate. “I’m heading to the study.”

With that, he left without waiting for her response.

Jordyn came running downstairs and pulled Celeste upstairs to help her solve her Artisan’s Puzzle.

Celeste spent over an hour with her before Hannah arrived, carrying a tray. “Mrs. Fleming, the soup is ready.”

She set down one of the bowls.

Celeste took it, saying, “Thank you.”

“Mrs. Fleming Senior said to drink it while it’s hot.”

“Okay, I will.”
