The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 81

The kite flew successfully up into the sky, and Celeste and Shanice smiled brightly.

While watching Celeste’s smile, Beck’s gaze darkened slightly.

Noticing his gaze, Celeste asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?

“Nothing,” he replied simply.

Celeste didn’t press further and led Shanice a little farther away. Beck stayed nearby, keeping his promise not to intrude.

When they got tired of flying the kite, Celeste and Shanice either moved to the lakeside to fish or crouched by a vendor’s small pond, studying the little fish swimming inside before trying to catch them with small nets.

Soon, it was midday.

Beck hadn’t prepared any food since he only intended to take Shanice out for a stroll. As lunchtime approached, he saw Shanice getting hungry, so he suggested eating at a small nearby restaurant.

Having spent a relaxing couple of hours, Celeste felt much better than earlier and didn’t refuse his suggestion.

During the meal, Celeste mostly chatted with Shanice.

Seeing how well they got along, Beck didn’t try to join their conversation, content with silently moving their favorite dishes closer to them.
