Chapter 423

作者: Cloudsearcher
That night, when Celeste got home, Jordyn was already asleep in her room.

After washing up and getting into bed, Celeste felt Jordyn instinctively snuggle into her arms and sleepily mumble, "Mom, you're home?"

"Mm, go back to sleep."

There was no reply.

Celeste looked down and realized she had already fallen asleep again.

The next day, Matthias went off to discuss a potential partnership, while Celeste went to Fleming Group with a group of engineers.

That morning, Celeste spent a long time discussing technical topics with others.

When the conversation was wrapping up, she turned and suddenly noticed that Trevor had been standing not far from her, listening as she spoke.

She paused briefly, then looked away and said to the others beside her, "Regarding what I just mentioned, there are actually a few excellent academic papers on the topic. Would you like to check them out?"

"Sure, absolutely."

Celeste then listed the titles and authors of the papers.

After she finished and

The writer should sometimes read his starting story.... no symmetry in between.... when are the previous left unanswered questions be answered....like, who set Trevor n Celeste, why did Trevor never remembered to check the envelope Celeste left for him, why can't Trevor see the ignorance of Wynn

  • The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 559

    That day, Celeste and Matthias worked late before finally leaving the office.When Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence, she spent some time chatting with Betty. Just as she went upstairs, several new messages from Jordyn popped up on her phone.When she opened them, she saw that they were all photos. In the pictures were not only Jordyn but also Trevor, Beck, and Miles.After the photos, Jordyn sent a voice message."Mom, I'm out at the hot springs with Dad and the others! What are you doing, Mom?"Celeste replied, "I'm about to take a shower. Have fun, sweetheart."After sending that, she set her phone aside and went to shower.Once she finished, she read for a while and did some research. By the time she started feeling tired and was getting ready to sleep, her phone pinged again.Celeste glanced at it and saw another message from Jordyn.She opened it. It was another photo, taken indoors this time. In the center of the image were three straw dragonflies.But besides

    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

    Around dinnertime, when the Lockets and the Shaws saw Wynn getting ready to head out, they finally realized that Trevor had already returned from abroad.When they heard he'd come back that very afternoon, Ruby couldn't help stomping her foot in frustration."What? He came back this afternoon? If only he'd returned half a day earlier! The decision period's already over—"Linda quickly echoed, "Exactly!"In truth, it wasn't just them. Even Lilian and the others felt it was such a pity.Two days ago, when Wynn told them that Trevor probably wouldn't make it back before the end of the decision period to finalize the divorce with Celeste, they still held onto a sliver of hope. They believed that maybe, for Wynn's sake, he'd come back early and surprise her by ending things with Celeste.But as it turned out, Trevor really didn't make it back before the decision period expired.That was why, when they learned he had returned that very afternoon, they felt so regretful.If he had c

    On the very last day of the decision period, Trevor still didn't make it back to the country.Just like that, the divorce decision period quietly passed.Celeste thought he'd probably return after a few more days, but the next day, while she was discussing work with Matthias, Jordyn suddenly called and said that Trevor was back.Matthias let out a disbelieving laugh. "Seriously? Of all times, he comes right after the decision period ends? He's doing this on purpose, isn't he?"Celeste put down her phone and didn't respond.On purpose? Of course not. It was probably just a coincidence.Matthias knew it too, but he couldn't help feeling irritated.He muttered, "Why not just file for divorce directly then... Though, from filing to the first hearing, it'll take at least a month—"Before they could continue, someone knocked on the door, and the topic was dropped for the moment.…Meanwhile, in the group chat with Trevor, Miles, Beck, and Wynn, Trevor suddenly tagged the three of t

    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.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.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.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 unea

    That afternoon, when Celeste got home, Jordyn had just returned from school.The moment Celeste stepped through the door, she heard her daughter talking on the phone. Seeing her, Jordyn's face lit up. "Mom!" she called out happily.Then, whatever the person on the other end said made Jordyn's eyes brighten even more. She ran over with the phone in hand. "Mom, Dad wants to talk to you."Celeste was stunned for a moment. Then, she took the phone, pressed it to her ear, and said, "Hello.""Happy birthday."Celeste didn't answer immediately. There was a brief silence before she finally replied, "Thank you."By right, this was the moment she should've mentioned the gift he'd sent that morning, maybe said something polite in return. But holding the phone, she said nothing. Not a word.Trevor didn't bring it up either. It was as if that extravagantly expensive gift hadn't come from him at all."I've got a lot going on over here," he said calmly. "I probably won't be back for a while."
