The Breaking Point of Love

The Scent of 11

Chapter 11

Celeste couldn’t help but find it laughable as she listened.

Wynn and Trevor had met only after her marriage to him. So, Wynn was fully aware of her relationship with Trevor. There was no way Harvey didn’t know that Trevor was her husband. He had definitely known about it all along.

Yet, he shamelessly encouraged a relationship between Wynn and Trevor. It showed just how little regard Harvey had for her despite the fact that she was also his daughter.

Trevor agreed to Harvey’s request.

They then exchanged a few more pleasantries. Celeste watched as Trevor waited for Harvey to get into his car and leave. Only then did Trevor get into his own car and drive away.

Given Trevor’s status, he rarely extended such courtesy unless it was to a few select elders of the Fleming family. Clearly, he held Harvey in high regard because he was Wynn’s father

Celeste thought back to the times Trevor had met Betty and Ivan. His attitude had always been cold and indifferent. Even when she cautiously brought up Ivan’s difficulties in the past, he had refused to help.

Yet, for those who Wynn cared about, his attitude was entirely different.

His treatment of her compared to Wynn’s was worlds apart. This was the stark difference when someone loved or didn’t love another person.

A while later, Trevor left.

Celeste stood where she was for a long time before finally heading into Luxe Haven.

In the evening, after Celeste was done with work, she went home to retrieve the gifts she had prepared for the Fleming family elders. She then drove to Fleming Manor.

Located on the outskirts of the capital, Fleming Manor was surrounded by lush mountains and serene scenery, making it an ideal dwelling place for the elderly. The only drawback was its distance from the city center.

It took Celeste an hour and a half to get there.

After parking her car, she picked up the gifts and was about to enter when she heard Jordyn laughing happily inside.
