The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 158

Celeste found her book after Jordyn had left. With the book in hand, she sat by the large window on the second floor and started reading.

Half an hour later, Martha brought up a bowl of herbal medicine. “Oh, there you are, Cel.”

Celeste put away her book and took the bowl. “You didn’t have to bring it up, Grandma. I would’ve come down if you’d called me.”

“It’s better for you to rest rather than walk around too much.”

Martha sat down on the other couch. Frustrated, she complained, “I wanted to ask Trevor to bring this up for you, but he was busy tapping away on the keyboard in the study. It’s the weekend. What’s keeping him so busy?”

Earlier, Trevor had been walking Wynn through some project work. Hence, Celeste assumed he went to the study since it’d be easier to type on a keyboard.
