The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 397

Although Celeste and Wynn both attended the symposium at Quendall University, they had absolutely no interaction the entire day.

By around three in the afternoon, Celeste and Matthias were preparing to leave the university.

As Bryson and the chancellor walked them out, Bryson extended another invitation, “There’s another seminar this Saturday. I wonder if the two of you…”

Celeste paused in her steps as her gaze happened to fall on Lilian, who was standing not far

away.

She quickly looked away, pressed her lips together, then replied, “I’m sorry, I have something important to attend to on Saturday. I won’t be able to make it.”

After saying their goodbyes to Bryson and the chancellor, Matthias finally asked once their car had pulled away from Quendall University, “Something was off with your mood just now. What happened?”

He had noticed her subtle emotional shift the moment Bryson mentioned Saturday’s event, especially when her gaze landed on Lilian.

Since there were others around, he hadn’t brought it up until now.

Celeste lowered her eyes slightly and said calmly, “Saturday is my mother’s birthday.”

Matthias fell silent for a moment.

It was the Shaw and the Locket families that caused her mother to spend years confined to a nursing home. No wonder Celeste had shown such emotion when facing Lilian and Wynn earlier.

After a long pause, he asked, “What are your thoughts on the Shaw and the Locket families?”

Celeste’s hand curled into a fist. “I don’t want to let them off easily. But-”
