The Breaking Point of Love Novel

Chapter 558

Celeste thought so too.

When there were fewer disputes between both parties, filing for

divorce could go quite smoothly.

However, she would soon have to make a trip to the military

base, and her departure and return dates were uncertain.

If she filed for divorce as the plaintiff and missed the court date,

her case would be dismissed. In that case, it might be better to

proceed with a divorce by mutual consent instead.

At least with divorce by mutual consent, once the mandatory

waiting period ended, she and Trevor could go collect the

divorce certificate at their own convenience. Things might even

go more smoothly that way.

Since she was sure that if Trevor had time, he would be the first

to contact her to finalize the divorce at the courthouse, she

hadn't bothered to reach out to him yesterday.

After all, if he was busy, there was no point in her pushing him

every day.

But now—

Celeste looked up at Trevor's figure, a faint frown forming

----

between her brows.

If a party filed for divorce, the defendant didn't have to appear in

court. It wasn't impossible to have Trevor file as the plaintiff

instead, but—

Matthias knew she was considering filing for divorce and also

knew what she was worried about. So, he asked, "Still haven't

decided?"

Celeste shook her head.

Matthias understood her dilemma.

Trevor was too biased toward Wynn and her family. They

couldn't be sure that if Trevor filed the case, he wouldn't

suddenly change the terms of their prior agreement on the day

of the hearing if Celeste couldn't attend

If he did that while she wasn't there, she would definitely be at a

disadvantage.

Celeste didn't actually want anything from Trevor.

In their divorce agreement, she had already given up custody of

Jordyn, and as for his assets, she didn't necessarily need them:

But the thought of forfeiting everything and letting Wynn and the

Shaws benefit from it didn't sit well with her either.

----

Trevor's offer was indeed quite generous. Even Matthias thought

it'd be a waste to let Wynn's side take advantage of it.

With a sigh, he patted Celeste's shoulder.

Celeste looked at Trevor without saying anything.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, he turned and looked at her. When he

saw her still staring, the corners of his lips curved slightly, as if

asking whether she had something to say to him

Celeste calmly withdrew her gaze and looked away.

Trevor didn't speak either, simply retracting his gaze as well.

The meeting continued.

Trevor stayed until the very end before finally leaving.

Before he left, he politely said to Celeste and Matthias, "The

project is progressing very well. I'm confident about our future

cooperation. Thank you both for your hard work."

Though annoyed with him, Matthias still had to respond politely. "

Mr. Fleming, you're too kind.”

Trevor didn't reply. He gave Celeste one last look before turning

to leave.

As they watched him walk away, Matthias frowned and said, "Is

----

there some issue with this project inside Fleming Group?"

Although he had earlier complained that Trevor seemed free, he

knew full well that if Trevor really were free, he would've already

arranged to finalize the divorce with Celeste.

So, even if this meeting seemed unnecessary for him to attend,

there must have been some reason behind it—perhaps

something they didn't yet know.

Celeste had thought of that too.

She shook her head. "No idea. | haven't heard anything unusual

from the others I've spoken with."

Matthias frowned and said quietly, "Keep an eye out, just in

case. If something happens, we'll need to respond quickly.”

Celeste nodded, refocusing her thoughts on work. "Gotit." °
