The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 10

The Scent of 10

Trevor didn’t think much of it. He assumed that Celeste had gone back to the Rodriguez residence.

As he entered the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that Celeste typically brought Jordyn with her whenever she visited Betty. But this time, she hadn’t done so.

“At this time of day? Where could she be?”

“Probably at the Rodriguez residence.”
