The Breaking Point of Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 401 - チャプター 410

"No need, I've already eaten. But thank you," Celeste answered. To be honest, Caleb's confession was actually quite moving. But…The reason she had taken Caleb's call in the first place was to clear things up once and for all.So, she spoke seriously, with calm conviction, "I really appreciate your feelings for me. But just as you said, I really don't have any plans to start a new relationship right now. So, I'm sorry. And please don't wait for me."She noticed Caleb was about to respond again, hesitated briefly, and then decisively hung up the call.With her phone still in hand, she stood still, emotions tangled and heavy.After a long moment, a bitter smile tugged at her lips. She turned and went back to the private room.She had been gone quite a while.Once Matthias had figured out the reason for Caleb's call, he was dying to know what exactly was going on between them. Seeing how long their phone call lasted only made him more curious.As soon as Celeste returned, he lea

Caleb extended his hand with a polite smile. "Caleb Jennings."Kieran shook it firmly.As their eyes locked, it was as if an unspoken message passed between them: "We'll each rely on our own skills to win her over."After the handshake, Caleb turned back to Celeste."My coming here made you uncomfortable, didn't it?"It did.But she responded tactfully, "A little.""I figured as much. I knew you'd feel uncomfortable, but I still came." His tone was calm, even apologetic."Because I felt that if I didn't try, I'd never know if you might change your mind. But now I've tried, and I know the answer. I'll be more mindful from now on."So, he was planning to keep pursuing her?Before Celeste could respond, Caleb turned to Matthias. "Let's save the YodaVision tour for next time. I won't disturb you further."Matthias had a good impression of Caleb. If Celeste were to start a new relationship after her divorce, he genuinely thought Caleb could be a decent choice.But since Celeste

Celeste said, "I have to go to work now. Your granny isn't feeling well these days and needs rest. Once she's feeling better, you can go visit her."Although Betty had never truly blamed Jordyn for being close to Wynn, ever since learning that Isabelle's health had also started deteriorating, it felt like half her spirit had been drained.If she were to see Jordyn now and be reminded of how close she had gotten to Wynn, it would probably only worsen her mood.When Jordyn heard that Betty was sick, she looked genuinely concerned. "Huh? Granny is sick? Is it serious? Mom, why didn't you tell me?"Celeste paused for two seconds before replying, "I didn't want you to worry, that's why I didn't tell you."She then gently pried off Jordyn's hands, which were wrapped around her. "It's getting late. I have other things to take care of. You need to take good care of yourself."Jordyn didn't want her to go, but seeing how busy Celeste seemed, she reluctantly let go. But as soon as she did,

On Thursday night, Celeste and Matthias, who had just returned from a business trip, attended a banquet together.As soon as they arrived, she spotted Wynn and Linda.They had noticed her too.The moment Linda saw her, her expression soured. She snorted and muttered to Wynn, "Why is she everywhere?"Celeste paid them no attention. After she and Matthias chatted briefly with the host of the banquet, she saw Kieran approaching them.Kieran had gotten an invitation after learning she would be attending the event.That evening, Celeste wore a sleek, form-fitting black gown with a simple cut, paired with her long, straight, dark hair.Not only did she look cool and composed, but she also carried an air of mystery. She was stunning and eye-catching.It seemed that every time he saw her at a banquet, she managed to impress him all over again.He had been at the previous two events as well, so Celeste wasn't surprised to see him this time. She simply said, "You're here too?"Kieran q

Kieran frowned. "Not a single lead?""Yeah," his friend replied. "I heard she got married pretty young, but apparently her relationship with her husband wasn't great."The Rodriguez family's neighbors say they've never even seen the guy. It seems like her family doesn't like him either. They won't even mention him."After a short pause, he added, "Also, they already have a child."Kieran abruptly looked up, thinking he must have misheard. "What did you say?""It's true. I was just as shocked when I found out. You'd never guess, just looking at her."Indeed.He had worked with Celeste at YodaVision for so long and had never once heard her mention a child. Nothing about her gave that impression either.Seeing how stunned he was, his friend asked, "Want me to keep going?"The implication was clear—Celeste had been married and had a child. Would Kieran still like her? If not, then there was no point in continuing to dig into her past.Kieran stood there silently.He had everythi
