The Breaking Point of Love Novel

 ----

Chapter 555

There were so many profitable projects, and yet they couldn't

get a piece of it—all they could do was watch. Luther was just

envious, though; he wasn't really complaining.

After all, as long as Trevor and Wynn's relationship stayed solid,

there'd be plenty of chances to make money later. There was no

need to rush. 3

Everyone there understood that.

Besides, there was something else they were more concerned

about now.

From the news reports, it seemed Trevor still had a lot to handle

and wouldn't be able to return home anytime soon. 2

Patricia couldn't help feeling a little worried. "Trevor... He won't

miss the end of the decision period, will he?" +

Even Lilian frowned, which was rare.

She wasn't exactly panicking, but dragging things out like this

wasn't good for them either. 1

Erin also couldn't help asking Wynn, "Wynn, what did Trevor say?"

Snapping back to her senses, Wynn answered honestly, "He said

----

he's not sure."

The people from both the Lockets and the Shaws grew even

more uneasy.

Finally, Patricia sighed. "Once he's done with work, he'll

definitely rush back as soon as he can. Hopefully... He makes it

in time. There's still half a month left, after all.”

Wynn lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Since Trevor wouldn't be returning anytime soon, Celeste figured

he'd reach out when things settled to finalize their divorce. 1

So, in the days that followed, she just went about her usual

routine.

Besides, work had been ridiculously busy lately. She barely had

time to think about anything else.

By the time she caught her breath, another week had already

flown by. Now there was only about a week left before the

decision period ended. +

Celeste glanced at the time, then at Jordyn, who was lying by the

bed playing a game.

She called out, "Jo."

----

Jordyn looked up. "Mom? What is it?"

Celeste hesitated before asking, "Did your dad... say when he's

coming back?"

Jordyn shook her head. "I just asked him tonight. Dad said not

so soon."

Celeste fell silent.

"Mom?"

“It’s nothing. It's getting late. Go to bed early."

"Okay!"

Even though Jordyn said her dad wasn't coming back anytime

soon, Celeste still wanted to know exactly when.

After Jordyn fell asleep, she sent Trevor a message. "When are

you coming back to the country?"

Because of the time difference, she didn't get a reply until noon

the next day.

“Still can't confirm yet."

There weren't many days left. If he couldn't confirm now, then

when could he?

----

Just as she was about to ask, another message came in. "I'll let

you know as soon as I can confirm my time."

The same line again. 1

Celeste put down her phone and didn't reply.

Trevor didn't message her again either.

After that, they didn't contact each other at all.

Maybe he really was too busy with work, The following days

passed in silence between them.

Until the very last day of their divorce decision period

When Matthias saw Celeste show up at the office early in the

morning, he knew immediately she hadn't finalized her divorce

with Trevor yet.

Seeing how down she looked, Matthias couldn't help but try to

comfort her. "There's still time. Maybe he'll fly back this

afternoon." 4

Celeste hoped so too.

But as the day dragged on, she checked her phone over and over

again. By the time the clock hit five, there was still not a single

message from Trevor. ®
