The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 14

The thought of Wynn’s racing competition tonight and seeing her looking as cool as ever lifted Jordyn’s spirits. After putting on the outfit, she grabbed her phone for another look.

Almost immediately, she frowned.

Normally, Wynn replied to her texts quickly. But this time, she hadn’t responded at all, not even after Jordyn had finished getting ready

Could Wynn be upset?

Panic bubbled up in Jordyn as she quickly typed out another message. “Wynn, are you mad at me? You know I didn’t want Mom to take me to school but you! Please don’t be mad at me, okay?”

Even after a while, there was no reply.

Celeste came back to check on her. “Jo, are you done? It’s time to go down for breakfast.”

Frustrated, Jordyn snapped, “I know! Mom, do you have to always nag? You’re so annoying!” With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed downstairs.

Celeste quietly followed. She did notice, however, that Jordyn’s outfit looked unfamiliar.

Celeste had always been the one to prepare Jordyn’s clothes While she’d always ensured Jordyn liked what she picked, Jordyn’s preferences had shifted drastically since visiting Andostan with Trevor.

Apparently, it was because Jordyn had taken up climbing and skateboarding under Wynn’s influence.

Wynn was not only academically accomplished but also an adventurous, charismatic woman with many hobbies. Jordyn idolized her, to the point of adopting her style and interests.

Celeste was saddened by Jordyn’s growing attachment to Wynn but never voiced her feelings. She even adjusted her choices when buying clothes for Jordyn, tailoring them to her current tastes.

Yet, Jordyn barely touched anything Celeste bought. She only wore outfits Wynn selected for her.

Seeing Jordyn in the camouflage outfit, Celeste could guess exactly where it came from. Nonetheless, she simply acted as though she hadn’t noticed and walked downstairs with her usual composure.
