The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 448

In the following days, Celeste remained as busy as ever.

She left early and came home late every day, even though Jordyn had been staying with the Rodriguez family, the mother and daughter didn't actually spend much time together.

Trevor, though also busy with work, reportedly called Jordyn almost every day.

However, Celeste was never around during those calls, so she didn't know what the father and daughter talked about.

Jordyn's birthday was on Friday.

Perhaps due to Trevor having always given her enough love and attention, when she found out he likely wouldn't be able to make it back in time for her birthday, she wasn't too upset.

Instead, she hugged Celeste's arm and said, "It's okay. As long as Mom is with me on my birthday, that's enough."

When she later found out that Celeste was really busy and might only have time to cook her a bowl of her favorite soup and give her a gift on her birthday, Jordyn did feel a little disappointed.

It had been a long time since she'd had one of Celeste's homemade cakes.

She missed them. She had assumed that, at the very least, Celeste would make her a cake.

But over the past few days, seeing how busy Celeste had been at the Rodriguez residence, she didn't throw a tantrum or make any demands.

She simply said, "Okay, I understand..."

Celeste was truly swamped lately.

Whether it was with YodaVision, Fleming Group, or Velotra, there had been an endless stream of matters needing her attention.

She'd been working overtime late into the night every day—there really was no time to spare.

It was Jordyn's birthday after all. She had given birth to her. So, no matter what, she had a responsibility.

Even though she and Trevor hadn't officially divorced yet, she had already started stepping back from parenting duties.

That in itself was already somewhat irresponsible.

But, now…

Thinking of this, Celeste said, "If I get off work early tomorrow, I'll make you a cake."

Jordyn beamed. "Yay! Thank you, Mom!"

However, by Thursday, Celeste was so busy she completely lost track of time.

By the time she finished everything and snapped back to reality, it was already around three in the morning.

After returning home and washing up, it was already 5:00 am. And she had a meeting at Velotra scheduled for a bit past 9—

There was simply no time to make a cake.

She only managed to cook a bowl of Jordyn's favorite soup and hand her the birthday gift before rushing off to her meeting at Velotra.

By the time her workday ended, it was already past 9:00 pm.

Celeste checked the time. Thinking about how she had barely exchanged a word with Jordyn that morning before rushing out, a flicker of guilt crossed her face.
