The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

When Celeste Rodriguez arrived at the airport in Andostan, It was already past 9:00 pm.

It was her birthday that day. Therefore, she received a bunch of birthday wishes from her colleagues and friends when she turned on her phone..

However, there was no message from her husband, Trevor Fleming, at all.

Celeste’s smile faded.

By the time she reached the villa, it was already past 10:00 pm.

Hannah Lynd, the housekeeper, was startled when she saw her. “Oh, Mrs. Fleming… Why have you come here?”

“Where are Trevor and Jo?” Celeste asked.

“Mr. Fleming hasn’t returned yet, and Ms. Fleming is in her room, playing,” Hannah replied.

Celeste handed her luggage to Hannah. When she went upstairs, she found Jordyn wearing a pair of pajamas and sitting at her table, fiddling with something. She was so focused that she didn’t even notice anyone entering the

FOOD.

“Jo?” Celeste called out.

Jordyn turned her head when she heard her. In a happy tone, she greeted, “Mom!”

Then, she turned back to her task.

Celeste walked over and pulled Jordyn into her arms. She had just given Jordyn a kiss on the cheek before the little one pushed her away.

“Mom, I’m busy right now.”

It had been two months since Celeste last saw Jordyn. She missed her so much that no amount of kisses felt enough. She wanted to talk to Jordyn.

But upon seeing how focused Jordyn was, Celeste felt like she shouldn’t disrupt her enthusiasm. “Jo, are you making a seashell necklace?”

“Mm–hm!” When Celeste asked about that, Jordyn perked up visibly. “Wynn’s birthday is in a week. This is the birthday gift Dad and I are preparing for her. We carefully polished these shells with tools. Aren’t they pretty?”

Celeste’s throat tightened. Before she could say anything, she heard Jordyn, with her back still turned, happily say, “Dad even had a customized gift prepared for Wynn. Tomorrow-”

Celeste felt a pang in her chest and couldn’t hold back anymore. “Jo… Do you remember it’s my birthday today?”

“Huh? What?” Jordyn glanced up at her, then quickly looked back down at the string of beads in her hands. She complained, “Mom, don’t talk to me. You’re messing up the bead order-”

Celeste released her hold on Jordyn and said nothing more she stood there for a long time, but Jordyn didn’t look
