The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 403

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 herself didn't seem interested at the moment, he wasn't about to meddle.

So, he replied courteously, "If you have time, you're always welcome to visit us again, Caleb."

Caleb nodded. Before turning to leave, he glanced one last time at Celeste.

She stood in silence, seemingly deep in thought.

He looked like he wanted to say something more, but in the end, he simply said, "See you next time."

"Take care."

Then, Caleb left.

Earlier, Kieran had thought Caleb and Celeste were already together. But now, he realized it had only ever been a one-sided pursuit.

At first, he'd assumed Celeste and Matthias were dating. But after spending time in the company, he noticed that despite their close working relationship, they didn't act like a couple.

They never came or left together, and there was a distinct lack of romantic behavior.

He'd even confirmed it directly with Celeste—she told him they weren't dating.

The colleague thought for a moment and added, "Ah, right. You only joined this year. Most of the older folks in the department know about it, but since you came later and we've stopped bringing up her personal life as much, it's understandable you didn't know."

Kieran didn't reply.

The fact that Celeste was married had come as a complete shock.

After a moment, he asked, "What's her husband like? Have any of you met him? Do they have a good relationship?"

"We've only ever seen his silhouette during a video call—never his face. No idea who he is."

Then, another colleague added, "As for how their relationship is... It's hard to say, honestly. Celeste's been with YodaVision for a while now, but aside from that one unexpected video appearance last year, her husband's never shown up again. She's also never mentioned him."
