The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 506

By the time Celeste finished her work, it was already past ten.

Autumn had set in, and with the rain these past couple of days,

the temperature had dropped quite a bit.

computer for too long and caught a chill, a sudden shiver ran

through her body, and she sneezed several times in a row just as

she closed her laptop and stood up to take a shower.

had already started running, and there was a dry, burning

sensation in her throat. 2

that at this hour the servants at the manor would already be

asleep, Celeste went downstairs herself to make some tea to

ease her cold.
