The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 447 Monday morning , just as Celeste arrived at the office building downstairs , she bumped into Kieran , who was also arriving for work . Kieran smiled as he said , " Morning . " Celeste responded , " Morning . " As soon as she spoke , she caught sight of Caleb nearby . Seeing him made her pause slightly . Kieran noticed Caleb as well and frowned in displeasure . Caleb didn't pay much attention to Kieran and walked straight over to Celeste . " I got home early yesterday morning .

We haven't seen each other in a while , so I thought I'd come by and say hello . " Caleb really had come just to see her . Her attitude had been clear all along , so he didn't want to make her uncomfortable or annoy her . He added , " Go ahead with your work . Don't mind me . I'll leave in a bit . " There was honestly nothing more Celeste felt needed to be said between them . His sudden appearance had left her at a bit of a loss for words . Since he said that , she didn't stand on ceremony .

She nodded and turned to head upstairs . Kieran glanced at Caleb before following behind Celeste . Caleb watched her retreating figure . After a long moment , he turned and returned to his car . There was a bouquet of flowers in the car . He had originally planned to give them to Celeste , but given the way things looked now , if he actually brought them out , she'd probably be even more put off and want to avoid him . Thinking that , Caleb gave a helpless laugh .

In the elevator , Kieran stood beside Celeste and pressed the button . Seeing how he was silently watching her , Celeste looked up and asked , " What is it ? " Kieran shook his head . " Nothing . " But he couldn't hold it in and finally asked , " About Mr. Jennings … Does he often ask to meet with you ? " Celeste replied , " No. " Caleb's work was quite demanding , and he didn't have many breaks . Even if he wanted to see her , he didn't have the time .noveldrama

Earlier , Celeste had clearly turned Caleb down , and Kieran had secretly felt relieved . Still , he couldn't help worrying that if Caleb stepped up his pursuit , Celeste might eventually give in . That thought suddenly made him think of Beck . As far as he knew , Beck also liked Celeste . But he hadn't shown up for quite a while , and like himself , had never really pursued her seriously . ( 1 ) Why was that ? Did he give up ? 1/2 Chapter 447 Then a new thought struck Kieran .

Could it be that Beck knew Celeste's husband ? ( 1 Still hesitating , Kieran finally asked , " I'm a bit curious … " " Hm ? " Celeste responded . Kieran said , " Mr. Jennings is a pretty good guy , but you don't seem interested in him . Why is that ? " What he really wanted to know was whether there was something specific she disliked about Caleb or if she had any limits when it came to relationships and marriage . If she did , he'd make sure to avoid triggering them himself in the future .

3 To Celeste , Kieran wasn't the gossipy type . Since this was the first time he had asked her a personal question , she didn't feel annoyed by it and answered directly . " I haven't officially divorced yet . How could I consider him ? Besides , I'm sure I don't have any romantic interest in Mr. Jennings . " 2 Kieran had thought she was already divorced . Hearing this , he froze . " You … You're not officially divorced yet ? " Celeste shook her head and said , " Not yet .

" Just as she finished speaking , the elevator arrived . Celeste stepped out and headed straight to her office . Kieran stood there watching her figure retreat , momentarily blanking out . Then something suddenly clicked . Could it be that the reason Beck never made a move on Celeste wasn't because he gave up ? But because he knew she wasn't officially divorced ? Or … Was it because Beck knew who her husband was ? 2/2
