The Breaking Point of Love Novel

Chapter 665

In the Rodriguez family's eyes, Trevor was now first and

foremost Jordyn's father.

And since he had previously helped Isabelle find a doctor to.

treat her illness, he was also considered a benefactor of the

Rodriguez family.

Because of that, everyone treated him quite politely.

Still, with Trevor present, the atmosphere at the dining table was

inevitably a little awkward.

During the meal, Celeste spoke very little. Jordyn, on the other

hand, was in high spirits—Celeste had made many of her

favorite dishes.

As for Trevor, although Celeste hadn't known in advance that he

would be coming, she still observed basic courtesy and hastily

made two dishes that he liked.

Trevor seemed to notice. After sitting down, he looked at

Celeste and said, "Thank you."

Celeste replied calmly, "It's only right." 1

Seeing that Celeste didn't seem inclined to talk much with

Trevor, Ivan stepped in and deliberately changed the topic.

Trevor followed along and began chatting with Ivan instead.

Not long after, while Trevor and Ivan were deep in conversation,

Celeste's phone rang.

It was a call from Caleb. +

Celeste paused. Before she could react, she noticed that Trevor

had happened to glance over.

She didn't look at him. Holding her phone, she stood up and said

to the others, "I'll take a call.”

She walked a little farther away before answering. “Hello.”

On the other end, Caleb's voice carried a smile. "Happy New

Year."

"Happy New Year," Celeste replied.

"Do you have time later? Want to go out for a walk?"

Celeste answered the call out of consideration for their past ties,

but there was no way she could agree to his invitation. "I need to

stay with my daughter, so | can't get away. Sorry."

It was an expected answer.

Caleb fell silent for a second, but didn't seem bothered. He

smiled and said, “Alright, | understand.”

Then he asked, "Have you eaten?”

“We're eating now."

“Okay, then | won't interrupt your meal. I'll contact you later." +

After hanging up, she turned and went back to the dining room.

When she returned, Trevor didn't ask who had called and

continued chatting with Ivan.

Jordyn, however, asked curiously, "Mom, who was it?" 1

“One of my friends," Celeste replied as she sat down beside

Trevor.

"Oh," Jordyn said, and didn't ask further.

Celeste picked up her spoon, about to continue eating, when her

phone rang again.

She glanced at the screen—it was Kieran. 1

She paused, then had no choice but to stand up again and step

outside to take the call.

"Happy New Year," Kieran said.

Then asked the same question Caleb had earlier, "Do you have

any plans tonight? Got time to go out and have some fun?"

----

"| already have plans tonight. Sorry.”

As she spoke, she remembered that Kieran’s family lived

overseas, and that he was probably spending the New Year

alone. She added, "Have you eaten?”

"Yes. | ate out with friends.”

"Ise..."

"What about you?"

"Im eating now.”

“see...”

From the fact that she had asked whether he'd eaten, Kieran

could tell she was concerned about him. He was quite happy.

Now that he knew she was having a meal with her family, he

didn't want to disturb her and said, "Then | won't interrupt your

family time. Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year.”

After hanging up, Celeste went back and sat down.

Jordyn said, "Mom, you're getting so many calls."

Celeste smiled, picked up a piece of meat for her, and didn't say

anything.

Trevor watched quietly and also said nothing

At that moment, however, his own phone rang as well
