Chapter 279

Author: Cloudsearcher
Having worked non-stop for over a day and night, Celeste noted down everything that needed to be documented and sent it to Matthias. Finally, she made her way downstairs for breakfast.

After going through the materials she had sent, Matthias was so excited his hands trembled. "This is exactly it, Cel! It's perfect!"

Rubbing her aching temples, Celeste replied, "I'm going to sleep for a bit. Let's talk later."

"Sure thing."

Celeste slept until late afternoon.

When she woke up, she found Jordyn playing with a puzzle in her room.

As soon as Jordyn saw Celeste, the former stood up. "Mom, you're awake!"

Celeste nodded in reply.

"Are you thirsty, Mom? Should I get you a glass of water?"

Celeste paused for a second. "Yes, please."

After pouring Celeste a glass of water, Jordyn went back to her own game.

Celeste watched as she played the puzzle, and she realized how much she had neglected her in the past few days due to her work.

But today was the last day of the holidays.

  • The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 457

    After finishing her work and leaving the base, Celeste returned home and turned on her phone. It was then that she found out Trevor had replied to her message more than an hour after she had left for the base.His reply was a simple "Okay."Perhaps because he had failed to keep their original appointment, in the past half month, aside from that single reply, he hadn't called her even once.Instead, it was Jordyn who had called her around five times over the last ten days.Seeing this, Celeste simply sent Trevor a message. "I'm done with work. I'm available on Monday."After sending the message and waiting quite a while with no response, she didn't bother to wait further.As for the missed calls from Jordyn, Celeste figured she probably just missed her—there wasn't anything urgent.So, Celeste didn't return the call.It had been nearly half a month since she'd last visited Isabelle in the hospital.After taking a shower and having breakfast, she went to the hospital with her fa

    By the time she finished her work and snapped out of it, Celeste suddenly realized that Caleb had already left his seat without her noticing.Afterward, Celeste worked day and night for several more days before everything was finally resolved.She slept for a full 24 hours before she started to feel significantly better. However, compared to before she entered the base, she still looked noticeably paler.That day, she had mostly just slept and hadn't eaten much at all. By evening, she started feeling hungry, and as she headed to the cafeteria to get some food, she ran into Caleb coming from the other dormitory wing.Caleb was slightly surprised to see her. "I thought you had already left the base."This mission had been a major one, so he could roughly guess when she had arrived. Now that the situation was successfully wrapped up, he assumed she'd left yesterday, having completed her task.Celeste shook her head. "There's still something I need to handle, so I have to stay a fe

    Wynn paused her movements with her utensils when she heard Jeffrey's words.At that moment, Jeffrey continued, "Yes, I'm not joking. Whether it's her looks, her temperament, or her calm personality—she's exactly my type."And on top of that, she's so talented. It's like my ideal woman stepped into reality. I have no reason not to like her."Perhaps because he and Celeste were not officially divorced yet, and it wasn't appropriate to encourage other men to pursue her, Trevor simply smiled and said nothing in response to Jeffrey's words.Jeffrey had other matters to attend to, so they didn't talk much longer before ending the call.…After meeting Jeffrey, Celeste went home to rest for half the day.Before going to bed that night, she packed all the documents needed for her divorce the next day—her ID card, family record book, etc.—into her bag.After double-checking that nothing was missing, just as she was about to turn off the lights and sleep, Zachary suddenly called her."G

    Trevor smiled and said, "Yes, I'm still very interested."Wynn also knew that Trevor had always liked YodaVision's Cuap programming language.Because of that, when she wanted to join YodaVision last year, Trevor was fully supportive. He believed that if she got in, she would have great potential for growth.Perhaps it was precisely because he admired and appreciated the developer behind Cuap that, even when dealing with Matthias—who always gave him the cold shoulder because of Celeste—Trevor simply laughed it off.Trevor then said candidly, "But I've offended Mr. Yoder before. He doesn't think very highly of me right now. If you want to work with him and ask me to help, it might just backfire."Hearing that, Jeffrey was a bit surprised, but he didn't press further. "Alright, I'll find someone else to help make the connection."Jeffrey's family business was in pharmaceutical R&D. Their company's AI model had long struggled to raise the success rate in antibody discovery.They had

    Ever since partnering with Velotra, Celeste had been so busy every day that her head was spinning.A new week began, and Celeste was even busier—she barely had time to deal with anything else.By the time she finally caught her breath, she realized an entire week had already flown by.After work, she dragged her exhausted body home, only to find that Jordyn had already gone to bed.Although Jordyn had been staying at the Rodriguez residence lately, they honestly hadn't had much interaction.Looking at the little girl curled up alone on the big bed, Celeste stood by the bedside for a long time before finally heading into the bathroom to shower.The next morning, when she woke up, Jordyn was already dressed and carrying her little backpack, seemingly ready to go out.Seeing her mother wake up, Jordyn ran over and leaned on the bed. "Mom, did I wake you up?"Celeste sat up and shook her head. "No." Then she asked, "Heading out?""Mhm! Dad's back. He's coming to pick me up soon."

    Wynn and Jorge didn't ask about how Kieran and Caleb knew each other.At that moment, Wynn said, "Since we've run into each other, why don't we have a meal together?"As soon as she finished speaking, Jorge was just about to agree, but Kieran spoke first."No, I've got things to take care of. Maybe next time."Right after Kieran spoke, Caleb also said, "I've got plans as well. It's not convenient—maybe next time."Jorge had come with Caleb. He didn't expect Caleb to say that.Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and could only echo, "Yeah, next time then."Wynn paid quite a bit of attention to Jorge. Noticing the change in his expression, she immediately realized that Caleb's excuse about having plans was just a cover.Most likely, he simply didn't want to have a meal with her.Thinking about that, she also realized that Caleb had always been rather indifferent toward her—not exactly cold, but certainly not warm either.Realizing this, she gave a slightly awkward smile and
