The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 543

Before Celeste could answer, Trevor said, "Where are you now? I'll come pick you up."

"No need."

Celeste thought they were out somewhere.

When she realized they were asking her to go over to their place, she said to Trevor, "Give the phone to Jo."

He didn't ask further and handed the phone over.

"Mom?" Jordyn's tiny voice came through.

"I'm sorry, Jo," Celeste said softly. "Something came up last minute. I might not be able to go listen to you play the drums today. Next time, when I'm free—"

Jordyn's little face instantly drooped. She pouted and stayed quiet.

Celeste could tell she wasn't happy.

She hesitated, but she really didn't want to go over there, so in the end she didn't give in. "I'm sorry, Jo. I'm—"

"If you've got something to do, then handle it first." Trevor suddenly cut in, then added, "What about lunch? If you're free, let's go eat together."

Celeste knew what he was doing—suggesting lunch so Jordyn wouldn't stay upset.

Compared to going over to his place, eating out was something she could handle.

After a short pause, she said, "I'm available."

"Then it's settled!" Jordyn's voice piped up again, bright and bubbly. "Mom, you can't back out, okay?"

"Okay. I know."

Celeste chatted with her for a bit more before hanging up.

Half an hour later, while she was reading in her room, her phone buzzed with a message.

It was a video from Trevor.

After a while, Jordyn went back to practicing, and Trevor didn't message again.

It wasn't until nearly lunchtime that his next message came. "What do you want to eat? Jo said she'll go with your choice."

"Let her pick."

"Alright."

A few minutes later, he sent over an address and a message. "We're coming to pick you up."

Celeste was about to decline when another message followed right after. "Jo insisted."

Her hand paused mid-type. She deleted what she'd written and sent, "Got it."

About half an hour later, Trevor and Jordyn arrived.

He got out of the car to open the door for her. Celeste froze for a second before silently getting in.
