The Breaking Point of Love Novel

Chapter 269 When Queenie and the others arrived and didn't see Celeste , they assumed she had gone to the airport with Trevor to pick Jordyn up . Now that Trevor and Jordyn had returned home , but Celeste was still nowhere to be seen , they found it odd , However , since they didn't really care about Celeste , they couldn't be bothered to ask . Trevor simply said , " She's busy ." Tucker didn't question it and continued playing with Jordyn .

Martha , however , understood what was going on but chose to remain silent . After dinner , Jordyn played by herself for a while , but soon got bored and decided to call Celeste . Even though it was the holidays , Celeste had no intention of letting herself be idle . When Jordyn's call came in , Celeste was in the middle of reviewing some documents sent by Zachary . Seeing the caller ID and realizing it had been nearly a month since they last saw each other , she casually picked up the phone .

" Hello ? " Celeste hadn't answered her calls for so long that Jordyn had almost lost hope . Hearing her mom pick up out of the blue , she was overjoyed " Mom ! " Celeste's attention remained on her computer as she responded indifferently , " Mm . " Jordyn didn't notice her detached tone and excitedly said , " Mom , I'm back from being abroad ! " Celeste didn't even know she left the country . So , hearing this , she simply responded with a brief hum as acknowledgement .

From the moment Celeste answered the call , Jordyn had been on cloud nine . She jumped around on the bed excitedly . " Mom , when will you be done with work ? Are you coming home tonight ? I want you to hold me while I sleep , and I have so many fun things to tell you ! " Also , I really want to eat your breakfast tomorrow morning . When are you coming back ? " Celeste didn't tell her that she wouldn't be going back to the Fleming Manor anymore .

Instead , she said , " I'm really busy right now . Next month , I'll take you out to play . " It had been a long time since Celeste had taken her out . The thought of going on an outing together made jordyn very happy . " Next month ? " Even though next month was only a few days away , it still felt like a long wait for Jordyn . She didn't complain , though . Instead , she asked , " When exactly next month ?

" Even through the phone , Celeste could feel Jordyn's eagerness to talk to her and see her . Her grip on the mouse tightened slightly before she finally said , " We'll see when the time comes . I'll let you knew once I decide , okay ? " " Okay . " Celeste asked , " Have you taken a bath yet ? " " Not yet . But soon . " Then go take your bath . I still have work to do . I'll hang up now . " " We just started talking , and you're already hanging up ? " Jordyn was reluctant to end the call .

She glanced at the call duration and protested , " Mom , It's only been two minutes ! Can't we talk a little longer ? " Celeste replied , " Next time , when I have time , if you want to talk , we can talk longer . Hearing this , Jordyn finally gave in , albeit unwillingly . " Okay . But Mom , you have to keep your promise . " Celeste said , " I will . " Only then did Jordyn whisper , " Bye , Mom . " " Bye . " As soon as she finished speaking , Celeste ended the call .

Jordyn suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Celeste about the gift she had bought for her . She was just about to mention it when she realized the call had already ended . Her heart sank with disappointment . Setting her phone down , she climbed out of bed and went to find Trevor in his study . Trevor was in the middle of a video conference . When he saw her walk in , he adjusted the camera angle and muted his microphone before asking , " What's wrong ? Couldn't get through ?" Chapter 270
