The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 272

After setting off the fireworks, Celeste and Jamie bid farewell to the family elders and headed out.

Their destination was the Baumond Broadcast Tower, one the best places to take in the city’s nightscape.

The night before the Ember Festival, it would also feature stunning light show and other festivities.

As they arrived at the broadcast tower, a crowd had already gathered.

The air buzzed with laughter and excitement.

The light show hadn’t started yet.

Hector and a few of his classmates had made plans to celelite the Ember Festival at the tower.

Not long after they arrived, he found his friends and joined them.

When they saw Celeste and Jamie, Hector’s classmates politely greeted them. But soon, they couldn’t help sneaking glances at Celeste and whispering to Hector, “Your cousin is beautiful–like, really beautiful!”

Hector grinned. “Obviously!

The group was swept up in the festive energy. They goofed around, taking photos and recording videos.

Celeste and Jamie stayed back, letting them enjoy themselves.

Just then, Celeste’s phone buzzed.

It was a text from Beck. “Will you be at the broadcast tower for the light show tonight?”

Celeste was a little confused. Still, she replied, “I’m already here. Why?”

Beck responded almost right away, “Shanice and I are on our way as well.”

Upon reading the text, Celeste paused for a second. “I see.”

What a coincidence.

Beck left the conversation at that.
