Beck looked at Trevor, paused briefly, and then accepted the offered glass. "Thanks."

The two clinked their glasses and started chatting while sipping their drinks.

After a while, Trevor gave Beck a second glance.

Beck raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"

Miles interjected, "You're acting a little off today."

Trevor chuckled softly, silently agreeing with Miles' observation.

Beck remained calm, and his tone sounded flat as he retorted, "Am I?"

Miles raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you?"

Beck took a small sip of his drink without responding.

Just then, someone approached to greet them, cutting the conversation short.

After the person left, Beck checked the time. Worried that Shanice might be hungry, he was about to head over to her when she and Jordyn returned on their own.

"Uncle Beck, can I have one of those little cakes over there?" Shanice asked, pointing at the dessert table.

Shanice tended to develop allergies, so there were many foods she couldn't eat. Beck said, "Sit here,

  • The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 461

    When Celeste heard this, she was about to respond when Trevor spoke first, "Your mom is busy with work. Don't bother her."Jordyn pouted unhappily and looked up at Celeste with puppy-dog eyes.Celeste said, "I have a meeting at the company, and then I need to go to another company for business. It's not convenient to bring you along—maybe next time, okay?"Hearing that, Jordyn sounded a little down but eventually let go. "Okay..."Since Martha hadn't woken up and there was nothing more to say, Betty left with Celeste when she departed.Inside the elevator, Betty said calmly, "He's not worried that Jordyn will disturb your work. He's worried she'll be seen by someone familiar if she goes to your company with you, right?"Celeste understood what she meant.If word got out that she and Trevor were still legally married, it would affect Wynn first and foremost.To protect Wynn, Trevor would naturally keep the fact that he and his "ex-wife" were not officially divorced tightly under

    It was still uncertain when Martha would wake up.Celeste waited at the hospital with the others for over an hour.Seeing that Martha still hadn't woken up, Queenie said calmly, "You should go back first. I'll let you know when she wakes up or if there's any update."Celeste looked at Martha lying on the hospital bed, wearing a ventilator. After checking the time on her phone, she replied, "It's still early. I'd like to wait a little longer."Hearing this, Queenie didn't say anything more.Tucker and Teagan also stayed.Celeste waited until around 11:00 pm. When the doctor said Martha's condition had stabilized a bit but that she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, she finally left to get some rest.Over an hour after Celeste left, Trevor and Jordyn arrived at the hospital.Trevor already knew that Celeste had come to visit Martha.He and Queenie decided to stay and keep her company, while Peter would take Jordyn home to rest.This was the first time Jordyn had ever faced life and

    After Celeste and Nadine left, Wynn stood frozen in place for a long time, unable to snap out of it.It wasn't until Lilian, who was waiting in the restaurant, called to hurry her along that she finally came to her senses.She hung up, entered the restaurant, and seeing her pale expression, Lilian asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"Wynn shook her head. "No."Her tone was faint, as if all the strength had been drained from her. Her whole demeanor was distracted and listless, as if her soul had left her body. Something was clearly off.Lilian frowned in concern.…Not long after Celeste got home from dinner, she received a message from Trevor."There's an urgent matter in Glenmere. After returning to the country, I'll have to delay going back to Baumond by a few more days."Celeste read it and took a deep breath, feeling a wave of frustration.But given that she herself had missed their previous appointment just a couple of weeks ago, she had no grounds to lash out.

    After reading the message, Celeste swiped the screen away without replying.That evening, Celeste went out for dinner with her family.When they arrived at the restaurant, she let her family go in first while she tried to find a parking spot.After parking the car, she got out with her bag in hand, not noticing that the car parked in the spot next to hers belonged to Wynn.Wynn had just finished a phone call. After hanging up, she spotted Celeste.As Celeste locked her car and was about to walk toward the restaurant, she suddenly heard someone call out, "Cece?"There was only one person who called her that—Zachary's wife, Nadine Yarborough.Celeste froze for a moment. When she turned around, sure enough, she saw Nadine not far away.Wynn had originally been about to get out of her car, but when she saw Nadine, she also froze in surprise.Nadine was not only a genius in the medical field, but also Zachary's wife. Although she kept a low profile and rarely appeared in the media,

    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
