Semua Bab The Breaking Point of Love: Bab 271 - Bab 280

After setting off the fireworks, Celeste and Jamie bid farewell to the family elders and headed out.Their destination was the Baumond Broadcast Tower, one of the best places to take in the city's nightscape.The night before the Ember Festival, it would also feature a stunning light show and other festivities. As they arrived at the broadcast tower, a crowd had already gathered. The air buzzed with laughter and excitement. The light show hadn't started yet. Hector and a few of his classmates had made plans to celebrate the Ember Festival at the tower. Not long after they arrived, he found his friends and joined them. When they saw Celeste and Jamie, Hector's classmates politely greeted them. But soon, they couldn't help sneaking glances at Celeste and whispering to Hector, "Your cousin is beautiful—like, really beautiful!" Hector grinned. "Obviously!"The group was swept up in the festive energy. They goofed around, taking photos and recording videos. Celeste and J

It was already close to noon when they left. Going home to cook didn't feel right. None of them were really in the mood. In fact, they didn't have much appetite for lunch at all. But they still had to eat. Celeste then suggested, "Let's eat out."Betty nodded. "Okay, whatever you decide, Cel."After parking, Celeste and Ivan had barely stepped out of the car when they spotted the Lockets and Shaws. It seemed they had come to the same restaurant. As they arrived, someone recognized Wynn and Harvey, warmly greeting them and inviting them to join their table. The Lockets and Shaws also noticed the Rodriguezs.Patricia let out a scoff, looking at them disdainfully. Lilian barely gave them a glance before looking away. Wynn didn't even bother—she acted as if they weren't there at all. Just then, the restaurant manager hurried out, addressing Wynn with a polite smile. "Ms. Locket, Mr. Fleming's preferred private lounge has been prepared for you. Please, this way."Wy

Celeste instinctively reached out, steadying Jordyn to keep her from falling.But the moment Jordyn crashed into her arms, Wynn's perfume drifted into her nose once again.Celeste took the girl's backpack and set it aside on the couch. Just as Jordyn was about to run toward the bed, Celeste gently pulled her back. "Did you shower?""I did."And yet, Wynn's scent still lingered on her. That could only mean one thing—Wynn had either been living with Trevor, or the two of them had just dropped her off together. They just hadn't bothered to come inside. "You're all sweaty. Go change into something clean," Celeste said flatly. Jordyn recalled that after her shower, she had been running around and probably worked up a little sweat. Hence, she nodded obediently and went into the bathroom to change. Celeste, on the other hand, continued to organize her research materials. As soon as Jordyn finished changing, she came out of the bathroom. Then, she took out a bunny-shaped light

After grabbing a bite and watching a movie, Celeste and Jordyn passed by an arcade. Jordyn's eyes lit up—she hadn't played games with Celeste in ages. Without hesitation, she pulled her inside. Trips to the mall, movies, and arcades were nothing new for Jordyn, but getting to do them with Celeste again made it feel special. She was having the time of her life. That evening, Celeste had dinner plans with Theodore. As they left the arcade, she figured she'd drop Jordyn off at home before heading to the restaurant. But Jordyn wasn't ready to part ways. She tugged on Celeste's hand and pouted. "Can't I come with you?"Celeste hesitated. It was just a casual dinner with Theodore—nothing formal. Hence, bringing Jordyn along wouldn't be a big deal. With that in mind, Celeste called Theodore and asked if he was okay with her bringing a child. Theodore chuckled as he replied, "Cel, just bring them along. I don't mind." Then, after a brief pause, he asked, "Yours?""Yeah."The

Just after Jordyn called Celeste, the car Trevor sent to pick Jordyn up showed up. In the end, Jordyn didn't manage to see Celeste before she left. As she reached the private lounge, Jordyn ran straight into Trevor's arms. "Dad, Wynn, hi!"Smiling, Trevor softly ruffled her hair. Wynn helped Jordyn set her backpack aside. Beck, Miles, and Linda were there in the private lounge as well. Seeing how much Jordyn missed Trevor and Wynn, Miles chuckled and said, "See? I told you, Trevor. You should've brought Jo along on the trip. Look how upset she is. If you'd stayed away any longer, Jo would probably have been in tears."Miles's comment made it seem like staying with Celeste had been unfair to Jordyn. Before Trevor and the others could say anything, Beck smoothly steered the conversation in another direction. "Did you do anything fun while you were there, Jo?"Jordyn settled down in her seat. "I did! I went to watch a movie with Mom, and we played VR games together. We also d
