The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 10

Trevor didn’t think much of it. He assumed that Celeste had gone back to the Rodriguez residence.

As he entered the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that Celeste typically brought Jordyn with her whenever she visited Betty. But this time, she hadn’t done so.

Could she have gone somewhere else?

Trevor paused for a moment but ultimately decided not to concern himself with it.

The next morning, Trevor said to Jordyn over breakfast, “Your enrollment process is complete. You’ll start school tomorrow morning.”

“Got it.” Jordyn scrunched her nose. “Can you take me to school tomorrow, Dad?”

“I might not have time.”

“Alright then.” Her eyes lit up. “I’ll call Wynn later and ask her to take me to school.”

Before Trevor could respond, his phone rang. It was a call from Fleming Manor.

When he answered, he heard Martha’s voice come from the other end. “I heard you’re back in the country?” “Yeah.”

“Did Jordyn come back with you?”

“Yes.”

“I haven’t seen her in so long. I miss her. Bring her and Celeste over for dinner tonight.”

“Sure.”

Martha then added, “Where’s Celeste? Let me speak with her.”

“She’s not here.”

“At this time of day? Where could she be?”

“Probably at the Rodriguez residence.”

“Probably? You’re her husband, and you don’t even know where she is?”

Trevor remained silent.
