The Breaking Point of Love

The Scent of 4

Chapter 4

Jordyn jumped out of bed in excitement. “Really?”

“Yes, really,” Trevor replied.

“Then why didn’t Wynn tell me just now?”

“It was just finalized. She doesn’t know yet.”

Jordyn was ecstatic. “Dad, let’s keep this a secret from Wynn. We’ll surprise her when we go back to the country, okay?”

“Alright.”

“You’re the best, Dad! I love you so much!”

After hanging up, Jordyn was still overjoyed. She sang and danced on her bed.

After a while, she suddenly thought of Celeste. For the past few days, she had been in a great mood because Celeste hadn’t called her. In fact, to avoid talking to Celeste, she had deliberately left home early and even turned off her phone or kept it far away from her after school.

But after two days, she was worried that Celeste might get angry if she found out. So, she stopped doing that. To her surprise, Celeste hadn’t called at all in the days that followed.

At first, she thought Celeste had discovered that she was deliberately avoiding her calls. But then she remembered that based on past experiences, that wasn’t very likely. If Celeste knew she had done something wrong, she would immediately ask Jordyn to correct her wrongdoing instead of sulking and not calling.

After all, she was the most important person to Celeste. Jordyn knew that Celeste loved her the most, so she didn’t think that Celeste would purposely refrain from calling her simply because she was upset.

As Jordyn thought about this, she suddenly missed Celeste. It was the first time in days she had thought about Celeste, and she couldn’t resist dialing Celeste’s number.

But just as the call connected, she remembered that while she would get to see Wynn after returning to the country, Celeste would undoubtedly try every possible way to prevent her from meeting Wynn. She wouldn’t be able to see Wynn whenever she wanted like she could now.

This thought dampened Jordyn’s mood.

It was midnight in Celeste’s time zone. She was already asleep when she was woken by the call. Upon seeing Jordyn’s name on the screen, she was about to answer when the call abruptly disconnected.

Although Celeste had written in her divorce agreement that she would relinquish custody of Jordyn, she still felt a sense of responsibility as her mother. Worried that something might have happened, Celeste immediately called
