The Breaking Point of Love Novel

----

Chapter 676

After they had been discussing work for a while, they paused for

a break and casual conversation. At that moment, Celeste's

phone rang.

The call was from Jordyn.

After excusing herself, she stood up to walk out while answering

the call. "Jo, what's the matter?"

"Shanice is back in Baumond. We're meeting for dinner tonight.

Do you want to come too, Mom?"

Celeste replied, "Sorry, | have a work engagement tonight and

can't get away. So, | won't be joining you."

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and stepped outside.

Celeste truly was busy and couldn't leave. After chatting a little

longer with Jordyn, she returned to the room and continued

discussing work with Trevor and Quincy.

Once the discussion ended, Celeste and Kieran left.

Trevor stayed behind to talk to Quincy a bit longer before

heading home to pick up Jordyn for dinner.

----

Jordyn hadn't seen Shanice for quite some time and had

prepared many gifts. She was extremely excited.

When Trevor returned, she eagerly had people load all the gifts

into the car before saying, "Dad, | called Mom to invite her, but

she has a work engagement and can't make it."

Trevor nodded. "I know."

Jordyn looked surprised. "Huh? You knew?"

“Yes. | was right beside her when she took your call."

“Oh," Jordyn frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed.

“Then why didn't you help me persuade Mom to come?"

Trevor smiled, ruffled her hair, but didn't answer. Glancing at the

pile of gifts, he said, "You prepared quite a lot.”

That instantly shifted Jordyn's attention. Full of anticipation that

Shanice would like everything, she said proudly, "Of course!”

The dinner was hosted by Beck.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, Beck, Shanice, Miles,

and Wynn were already there. However, Miles and Wynn had

only just arrived as well. 1

Seeing that Wynn hadn't come together with Trevor and Jordyn,

----

Miles casually asked, "Why didn't you come together?”

Jordyn hadn't seen Wynn ina while either. So, she greeted her, "

Hi, Wynn."

Then she answered Miles’ question, "Dad had to go home to pick

me up."

Miles had only asked in passing and didn't think much of it.

Beck assumed Trevor and Wynn had separate work

arrangements, which was why they arrived separately, so he

didn't ask further. 1

Since Jordyn and Shanice hadn't seen each other for quite some

time, they had both prepared many gifts. After a brief exchange

of greetings, they happily started swapping presents.

When it came time to sit, Wynn naturally took the seat beside

Trevor.

Of course, she wasn't invited by Trevor or Jordyn. Earlier that

afternoon, Beck had simply tagged everyone in their group chat.

After sitting down, Wynn spoke to Trevor as if nothing was

unusual. "I've met two of the people you recommended—they're

indeed very capable."

Trevor nodded and hummed a response.

Wynn went on to describe the specific strengths of the two

specialists he had recommended, trying to engage him in more

conversation.

She had barely said a couple of sentences when Miles couldn't

help but complain, “Isn't it enough that you two whisper to each

other every day? Now you're ignoring the rest of us even at a

gathering. Isn't that a bit much?"
