The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 106

At that moment, Jordyn noticed Celeste coming out with her suitcase. “Mom?”

“Mm.” Celeste snapped back to reality, closed the door, and said, “I have work to do, so I’m heading back first. You stay here with Dad and have fun.”

Jordyn quickly nodded. “Okay, I got it, Mom.”

Celeste dragged her suitcase downstairs. When she reached the ground floor, she ran into Trevor, who was with Wynn.

Seeing her leaving with her suitcase, he simply asked, “You’re leaving?”

Celeste replied coolly, “Mm.”

“Did you call a car?”

“I did.”

He didn’t try to stop her and only said, “Alright.”

Celeste then walked out with her suitcase, got into the car, and left.

Miles woke up later than usual that day.

When he came downstairs for lunch with Trevor and the others, he said, “Trevor, why don’t you go upstairs and invite her down?”

Of course, he was referring to Celeste.

Trevor said indifferently, “No need. She has already left.”

Miles raised an eyebrow. “She left?”

Beck also paused for a moment.

“Yes,” Trevor said. “She had work to take care of at the company.”

Miles knew about how Matthias didn’t hire Wynn because of Celèste and how she went to work at YodaVision.

He hadn’t forgotten that last night, Trevor also said she was too busy with work to come down for dinner. Thinking about that, he chuckled. “Busy yesterday, busy today–she’s so busy, huh?”

So busy that without her, it was as if YodaVision would fall apart.

But she only got in through connections. Not only was she not particularly capable, but she wasn’t a major shareholder of YodaVision either.

Saying she was “busy” was obviously just an excuse. And it was such a lousy one. Miles didn’t even know what to

say.

Wynn also caught onto his meaning. She lowered her head as she ate, letting out a silent smile.

Celeste had no idea what Miles and the others were thinking. After leaving the hot spring retreat, she headed straight to YodaVision and worked until nightfall.

After two days of non–stop work, she was planning to go home early to rest when she received a call from her unele, Ivan.

Half an hour later, Celeste arrived at the Rodriguez residence.

Ivan and his wife were there, along with their two children, Jamie and Hector.

Celeste smiled and hummed a response.

Hector asked, “Where’s Jo? Didn’t you say she’s back in the country? Why didn’t she come to dinner?”

“She went to the hot springs and hasn’t come back yet.”

“Thinking that Jordyn was probably there with Trevor, Hector didn’t ask further.

Before entering the house, Celeste glanced at the villa across the street and hesitated for a moment. noveldrama

When she went to the hot spring retreat, she hadn’t thought to bring the keys to this villa. If she had, she could’ve started clearing out all traces of the Shaw family and had it renovated…

Ivan and his wife had been preparing for Betty’s birthday banquet.

They had called Celeste back not only to get her input but also because there was something they needed her to take care of.

“These two invitations are for the Fleming family and Teagan. Cel, find some time in the next few days to deliver it to them.”

Celeste hesitated briefly before taking them. “Alright.”

After dinner, she chatted with Betty and Ivan for a while.

At around nine in the evening, she decided it was time for her to leave.

Before she left, Betty walked her to the door, held her hand, and said, “If the Fleming family doesn’t want to come, don’t force them. Whether they come or not, I don’t really care!”
