The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267

Matthias had been to the Rodriguez residence before, so he delivered the fireworks directly.

As for Beck, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Celeste gave hiru address near the Rodriguez residence instead.

At around 2:00 pm, Celeste drove to the meeting spot.

Over the phone, Beck had said he would have someone deliver the fireworks to her. However, after parking her car, Celeste was surprised to see Beck himself.

Beck said, “You’re here.”

“Mm.”

“Open the trunk.”

After Celeste opened the trunk, Beck loaded the fireworks and some gifts into it.

Seeing the gifts, Celeste couldn’t help but say, “There’s no need for these-”

“Shanice asked me to bring them to you.”

She then placed a friendship bracelet she had made, along with some gifts she bought after lunch, into Beck’s car. “These are for Shanice.”

Beck smiled and said, “Alright.”

Among the gifts she prepared, he noticed a thick, plush rabbit. He picked it up and asked, “What’s this?”

“It’s a rabbit light wand,” Celeste explained. “I bought two–one is a bear, and one is a rabbit. Kids will probably like them.”

Beck examined them. Both the rabbit and bear light wands were designed to be adorable and festive.

He nodded and said, “I think Shanice will like them too. Thank you.”

“It’s just a small exchange of gifts–no need for thanks.”

Beck placed the light wand back and glanced at a nearby cafe. “Want to sit down for a bit?”

Celeste declined, “No, I have things to do. I need to head out again soon.”

Martha was being discharged from the hospital that evening. She had to go with Betty to the hospital later.

Beck paused before saying, “Alright.”

Without much more conversation, Celeste got into her car and left.

Not long after arriving home, she and Betty took the gifts they had prepared for Martha and left for the hospital. However, before heading there, they had already informed Martha.

When they arrived, they found only Martha and her caretaker, Samantha, in the hospital room.

It was unclear whether it was to avoid an awkward situation or for another reason, but Jordyn was not there.

Betty looked a little disappointed but didn’t say anything.

Martha, however, noticed the look on her face.

She also knew about Celeste and Trevor’s impending divorce.

Ever since New Year’s Day, when Lincoln returned but Celeste never showed up, Martha had realized that even if Celeste and Trevor weren’t officially divorced yet, she was already cutting ties with the Fleming family. She had also guessed that Celeste wouldn’t be spending Eriber Festival at the Fleming Manor this year.

As for Jordyn’s custody, she had brought it up with Trevor few days ago. But no matter what, he refused to compromise.

When she asked him a couple of days ago where Jordyn would be spending the Ember Festival, he said it would be up to her.

However, Jordyn had gone abroad for a trip recently and was only returning tonight, so Martha didn’t have the chance to ask her yet.

So, seeing her old friend looking so disappointed, Martha felt even more guilty..

But the truth was, Jordyn had become more attached to Trevor. Without Jordyn’s explicit consent, Martha couldn’t make any promises to Betty or Celeste.

Even though she said nothing, both Betty and Celeste understood her feelings.

So, they didn’t bring up Jordyn and instead chatted about lighter topics and inquired about Martha’s leg recovery. Before long, it was time for Martha’s discharge.
