The Breaking Point of Love

Feeling embarrassed, Celeste’s face flushed immediately. She adjusted the collar that Shanice had tugged..

Beck’s expression darkened in that instant. After he snapped back to his senses, he turned around and shifted his Baze,

The nanny, who had been standing aside, was mortified as well.

Luckily, they were the only ones there; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward.

The nanny quickly helped Celeste adjust her clothes.

Celeste knew it wasn’t intentional and didn’t want to be too harsh on Shanice. Hence, she could only brush it off.” It’s okay. I know you didn’t do it on purpose.”

As they were talking, a car slowly approached them.

Celeste didn’t notice the car at first. The car’s backseat window gradually rolled down, and Shanice poked her head out of the window. She waved at Celeste. “Goodbye, Ms. Rodriguez!”

She gave Shanice a faint smile. “Goodbye, Shanice.”

Beck staring at her. Then, she gave him a quick nod as a greeting. Beck, too, nodded at her.
