The Breaking Point of Love

The Scent of 2

Chapter 2

At around 9:00 pm, Trevor and Jordyn returned home.

Jordyn clung to the hem of Trevor’s coat and got out of the car sluggishly. Because Celeste was at home, she was reluctant to return that night.

But Wynn had said that Celeste came specifically to be withher and Trevor, and if they didn’t return, she would be sad. Trevor also said that if they didn’t go home that night, Celeste would definitely insist on joining them on their outing to the sea the next day.

Reluctantly, Jordyn agreed to come home.

Still worried, she muttered gloomily, “Dad, what if Mom insists on tagging along with us tomorrow?”

“She won’t,” Trevor replied confidently.

In all the years they’d been married, Celeste had always tried to find ways to spend more time with him. But she was also sensible. As long as he made his stance clear, she wouldn’t dare make him upset.

In Jordyn’s memory, Celeste always listened to Trevor. Since he said she wouldn’t, she felt reassured. As a result, her mood lifted. She made her way into the villa cheerfully and told Hannah she wanted to take a bath.

“Sure, sure,” Hannah replied to Jordyn. Then, she remembered Celeste’s instructions and handed an envelope to Trevor. “Mr. Fleming, this is from Mrs. Fleming. She asked me to give it to you.”

Trevor took the envelope and asked casually, “Where is she?”

“Mrs. Fleming packed up and went back to the country this afternoon Didn’t you know?” Hannah responded. Trevor paused mid–step as he was heading upstairs. He turned back, feeling a little surprised. “Has she gone back?

“Yes”

Why had Celeste suddenly come to Andostan? Trevor hadn’t given her a chance to tell him about it. He hadn’t cared to ask either. Upon learning she’d left, he didn’t dwell on it.

Jordyn was a little surprised too. When she heard the news, she felt a small twinge of disappointment. She’d been thinking that even if Celeste didn’t join them for the outing tomorrow, it might be nice to have her around at home in the evening
