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.

“I might not have time.”

“Alright then.” Her eyes lit up. “I’ll call Wynn later and ask her to take me to school.”

“Did Jordyn come back with you?”

“Yes.”

“I haven’t seen her in so long. I miss her. Bring her and Celeste over for dinner tonight.”

“Sure.”

Martha then added, “Where’s Celeste? Let me speak with her.”

“She’s not here.”

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

“Probably at the Rodriguez residence.”

“Probably? You’re her husband, and you don’t even know where she is?”

Trevor remained silent.
