The Breaking Point of Love Novel

Chapter 247 Chapter 247 Celeste placed the cake box into the fridge . Just as Jordyn finished her bath , her phone rang . It was Trevor who called . She answered the call . " Dad ? " " I just received a message from your grandpa , and he's coming back in the afternoon tomorrow . I'll send someone to pick you up after school , and we'll have dinner at home . Go tell your mom about this . " Trevor's father , Lincoln Fleming , worked for the government .

He was usually busy working , and he seldom had time to visit his family . The night Martha took a fall , Lincoln rushed back at dawn but left again before the sun even rose . Now , with her still in the hospital , Lincoln arranged for two days off so he could return and spend New Year's Day with her . Upon hearing what Trevor had just said , Jordyn replied , " Okay , got it .

" After speaking , she suddenly remembered that Trevor had said " pick you up " on the phone - not " pick you both up " . That meant Celeste wasn't part of the plan . Hence , she turned to Celeste and asked , " Are you not joining us , Mom ? " In the past , whenever Lincoln came home , Martha would always insist that Celeste and Jordyn join the gathering at the Fleming Manor - whether or not Trevor was present .

Since it had become a routine , even at her young age , Jordyn instinctively linked her grandfather's return with having dinner at the Fleming Manor . Just as Celeste was about to answer , Trevor interrupted , " Your mom is busy tomorrow . " " Okay then . " Jordyn had the call on speakerphone , so Celeste heard everything . This was the first time she learned that Lincoln had returned . She and Trevor were already in the middle of divorce proceedings .

At this point , there was no reason for her to go back and see his family . Trevor was clearly on the same page . Thus , before she even had a chance to say anything , he had already offered a justification for her absence . Without another word , Trevor ended the call . The next afternoon , Beck and his company's core engineers came to YodaVision for a business meeting . Lately , he had been extremely cooperative , sparing Celeste a great deal of trouble .

As a result , she treated him with more courtesy than before +25 BONUS Chapter 247 As soon as he arrived , she set aside her tasks to greet him personally . Beck's phone rang about an hour later . It was Trevor who had called . Beck excused himself and went outside to answer the call . He fell silent for two seconds after Trevor spoke , then answered simply , " Okay . " Before the words had fully settled , Trevor suddenly added , " My father's back and will be home for dinner tonight .

I'll have to rely on you for this . " " Mr. Fleming is back ? " After a quick pause , Beck asked again , " How long will he be staying this time ? " " A few days , I think . " Hanging up the call , Beck went back to the meeting room . He studied Celeste with a thoughtful expression . She was focused on her conversation with his engineers and didn't notice his gaze . As their discussion wrapped up and she stood to see them out , Beck asked , " Working late again tonight ?

" " Yeah , there are still a few things to take care of , " Celeste answered without giving it much thought . Beck's eyes darkened slightly . So , she wasn't going back to the Fleming Manor with Trevor tonight . Something shifted inside him . " Are you free later ? Let's have dinner together . " Celeste shook her head . " No , I have too much work . I can't leave . " Hearing that , Beck almost suggested ordering food for her instead . +25 BONUS Chapter 248
