Chapter 73

Author: Cloudsearcher
Feeling embarrassed, Celeste's face flushed immediately. She adjusted the collar that Shanice had tugged.

Beck's expression darkened in that instant. After he snapped back to his senses, he turned around and shifted his gaze.

The nanny, who had been standing aside, was mortified as well.

Luckily, they were the only ones there; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward.

The nanny quickly helped Celeste adjust her clothes.

Celeste was reserved, and she had never revealed so much of her body to any man other than Trevor.

What made it worse was that the man before her was Trevor's good friend. That made her especially uncomfortable.

After adjusting her clothes, she uttered in an unnatural tone, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Only then did Beck turn around and face Celeste. "I'm sorry."

Shanice knew she had done something wrong and thought she had upset Celeste. She looked at Celeste with teary eyes and softly apologized, "Ms. Rodriguez, I'm sorry…"

  • The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 554

    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."

    Along with Beck's bouquet came a simple card and a small handmade flower from Shanice. That gift from Shanice had been sent through Beck.In Celeste's view, Beck sending flowers was nothing more than politeness. Even if it was just courtesy, since she had received the gift, it was only proper to thank him personally.So, she called him.Beck had been expecting her call, and he'd been waiting for it for quite a while.So, the moment her number appeared, he answered immediately and spoke first, "Got the gift? Happy birthday.""Yes, I did. Thank you for the flowers, and please also tell Shanice that I really liked her gift."Beck chuckled softly. "I will. Shanice actually prepared and sent it out half a month ago. Knowing you liked it will make her really happy."Hearing that, Celeste's heart warmed. "Please tell her that when she's free to come back to Baumond, I'd like to take her out for a meal.""Alright, I'll tell her.""Then I'll leave you to it," Celeste said. "And... Than

    Hector was stunned. "T-That expensive?"Even Betty and Adeline were taken aback.Betty turned to Celeste. "Cel, come take a look."Celeste had heard everything they said.When she first took the box, she could already tell from the weight and texture that Trevor's gift wouldn't be cheap, but she hadn't expected this.Just as her aunt said, the red diamond Trevor gave her was far more brilliant and pure than the one she had auctioned off before. And that estimated two billion was likely a very conservative figure.From the look on Celeste's face, everyone could tell she didn't expect Trevor to give her something so extravagant either.Hector frowned. "So, what now? Return it?" After all, she and Trevor were about to get divorced. A gift like this—"Keep it."Betty closed the brocade box and said firmly, "Just think of it as something for Jo. When she grows up, pass it to her. If you refuse it now, it'll only end up benefiting someone else."That "someone else", of course, refe

    Jordyn handed Celeste the gift Trevor had prepared for her—but just as Celeste reached out, Jordyn pulled it back and clung to her hand coquettishly. "Mom, look at my gift first!"Celeste paused. "...Alright."She opened the box as Jordyn watched eagerly.Inside was a neatly framed oil painting. The person in the painting was her. In the lower right corner, a line of small words read: "To my Mom, happy birthday."Celeste felt her heart jolt as if struck. Her hand froze midair, gripping the frame.Jordyn shook her hand gently. "I painted it half a month ago! Do you like it, Mom?"Snapping out of her reverie, Celeste looked at her daughter's hopeful face. Her emotions were a tangled mess, but she answered honestly, "I love it. You're getting really good at painting, sweetheart."Hearing that, Jordyn's face lit up with pure joy. "If you like it, I'll paint another one for you next time!""...Okay."Satisfied, Jordyn finally stuffed Trevor's gift into her hand. "Mom, I have to go

    Celeste shook her head.Matthias asked, "Is it still because he's busy with work?""Mm."Matthias fell silent.Granted, Trevor's recent business ventures had been making waves, but no matter how busy he was, it didn't make sense that he couldn't spare even half an hour to finalize a divorce.If Matthias didn't already know the full story, he might've thought Trevor was deliberately dragging his feet. But knowing their situation, that was impossible.He patted Celeste's shoulder. "Then give it a few more days. If he still hasn't made time by the end of the reflection period, just file for divorce directly."Celeste nodded. "Okay."Although she said that, deep down, she didn't think it would come to that.…Two days later, it was Celeste's birthday.She woke up early that morning. Betty and Adeline were already busy in the kitchen, making pancakes and preparing cake.They had long since gotten her birthday gifts ready.When Celeste came downstairs, they handed them to her wi

    Celeste didn't want to deal with Trevor, so she turned to Jordyn instead. "Jo, I still have things to handle tomorrow, so—"Jordyn immediately said, "Then we can just go home early tomorrow!"Celeste was speechless.She looked at Trevor. Her expression clearly said, "You started this, you fix it."Trevor caught her look and understood perfectly.He gave a small smile and didn't push her further. Instead, he patted Jordyn's head and said gently, "Since Mom has work tomorrow, let's head back for now. We'll come again next time to see the stars."Hearing that, Jordyn wasn't too disappointed. After all, she'd had an amazing day already. "Okay then," she said cheerfully.Before leaving, they had the staff pick some fruit for them to take home.The manager came over to ask, "Would you like to bring the wine you made this afternoon with you?"They had separated the batches earlier, specifically so each could take their own home.Celeste wasn't sure what Trevor planned, but she said,
