The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 401

"No need, I've already eaten. But thank you," Celeste answered.

To be honest, Caleb's confession was actually quite moving. But…

The reason she had taken Caleb's call in the first place was to clear things up once and for all.

So, she spoke seriously, with calm conviction, "I really appreciate your feelings for me. But just as you said, I really don't have any plans to start a new relationship right now. So, I'm sorry. And please don't wait for me."

She noticed Caleb was about to respond again, hesitated briefly, and then decisively hung up the call.

With her phone still in hand, she stood still, emotions tangled and heavy.

After a long moment, a bitter smile tugged at her lips. She turned and went back to the private room.

She had been gone quite a while.

Once Matthias had figured out the reason for Caleb's call, he was dying to know what exactly was going on between them. Seeing how long their phone call lasted only made him more curious.

As soon as Celeste returned, he leaned in and asked in a low voice, "What's going on between you and Caleb?"

Celeste took a sip of her lemon water and replied lightly, "Nothing much."

Matthias got the hint. "Not convenient to talk now, huh? I'll ask you later."

Celeste didn't answer.

Kieran was even more restless than Matthias.

He'd been waiting for Celeste to come back from the call, and while waiting, he messaged a friend to ask about Caleb.

They were all from the same social circles, so his friend naturally knew Caleb. As soon as Kieran asked, the friend gave him a quick background rundown.

Just as Celeste walked back in, his friend asked with curiosity, "Why the sudden interest in Caleb?"

Not hearing what Celeste and Matthias were saying, Kieran pulled his gaze away and typed a reply, "Nothing."

Trevor also looked over at Celeste when she came back. But after a brief glance, he smiled and continued chatting with the others.

Celeste didn't pay much attention to Trevor or Kieran. After exchanging a few words with Matthias, she turned her attention back to Bryson and the conversation.

A little while later, Bryson, who was sitting next to Trevor, had a professional question and asked for Celeste's opinion.

So, she walked over.
