Semua Bab The Breaking Point of Love: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Celeste brought her laptop and went with Matthias to have dinner at Zachary's home.After dinner, Zachary helped her review her thesis.It was late at night when she got into the car to head home. At that moment, Adeline called.She had originally booked tickets for the next day to take her two kids on a one-day cruise trip, but something had come up at her family's side, and she had to go back, meaning she wouldn't be able to take care of the kids.After listening, Celeste said, "Got it. I happen to be free tomorrow, so I'll take them."Not long after she hung up, her phone rang again. This time, it was Beck calling.Celeste answered and spoke first, "Sorry, if this is about Shanice, I already have plans tomorrow and won't be able to make time."However, Beck didn't hang up. Instead, he asked, "Would you mind telling me what plans you have?"Then he added, "Shanice really hopes to see you tomorrow."Since it wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, Celeste explained th

Celeste said, "See you next time." With that, she drove off without hesitation.After returning to the Rodriguez residence, Celeste went upstairs while Hector eagerly shared the day's events with Betty.When the old lady learned that the person who had spent the day with Celeste was actually Beck, she was quite surprised.After all, Beck and Trevor had grown up together, and Celeste had never been particularly close to him before. How did this suddenly happen?Ivan mused, "No wonder the Harper family suddenly reached out to collaborate with me recently, and Beck has been quite polite whenever he sees me. So, this is why…"Adeline added, "So, it might actually be true?"Betty, however, understood Celeste well. She said, "Cel isn't officially divorced yet. I don't think she sees it that way. Let's just let things take their course and not interfere too much.""Understood."…The next day, Celeste woke up at the Rodriguez residence. Just as she finished breakfast, her phone rang.

Jordyn happily ran over to Celeste, holding up her hand for a high-five. "Mom, we won!"Celeste gave her a high-five. "Mm."Trevor also walked over. "Did you get the video?""Yes," Celeste responded as she sent the video to him.After the musical chairs game, the next activity was the Invincible Firewheel game.The game required four families to form a team. Each team had to move forward while continuously rolling a circular tape ring under their feet. The first team to reach the finish line would win.Trevor looked at Celeste. "Want to do this round?"Jordyn nodded eagerly. "Mom will play this round with me."Celeste had no objections. "Alright."As the game was about to start, Celeste hesitated for a moment while looking at her bag.At that moment, Trevor reached out his hand. "I'll hold it.""Thanks." Celeste handed her bag to him.For most couples, a husband holding his wife's bag was an everyday occurrence. But for them, this was the first time Trevor had ever held her

It was only natural for Jordyn to be close to her father.Besides that, Tilda also noticed how the other parents reacted while watching their spouses play games with their children.When things were going well, they laughed and clapped excitedly. If things weren't going well, they got anxious and cheered them on.Anyone could tell that these families were together—a united front.But when it came to Celeste, even though she smiled while playing with her child, something felt different.It was as if there was a gap between her, her husband, and their daughter—like she wasn't really part of them.Then she remembered the last parent-teacher meeting. Celeste's daughter clearly had a great relationship with that other woman.So, it made sense that Celeste didn't quite fit in with her husband and daughter now.After all, whose child wouldn't feel distant from them if they were close to the very person who had disrupted their marriage?Thinking about it, she figured Celeste must be f

"There are always some objections, but nothing that will have a major impact," Ethan said."Whenever the company secures a good project, the other shareholders naturally want their own people involved. But Mr. Fleming rarely assigns personnel himself—people can't start complaining the moment he finally does, right?"Besides, the Lockets and the Shaws are indeed competent and follow the rules, so overall, it doesn't cause much disruption."Matthias had heard enough. "Alright, I won't keep you from your family. Let's have a meal together next time."Ethan replied, "Sure, next time."After he left, Matthias turned to Celeste. "Let's head inside."Celeste nodded. "Mm."…After finishing their meal and returning to the office, they were informed that Jorge was there to meet them.Neither Celeste nor Matthias had any intention of meeting him. But Jorge didn't leave.By evening, when Celeste got off work and headed to the parking lot, he called out to her. "Ms. Rodriguez."She turn
