The Breaking Point of Love

The Scent of 192

Chapter 192

Celeste brought her laptop and went with Matthias to have dinner at Zachary’s home.

After dinner, Zachary helped her review her thesis.

It was late at night when she got into the car to head home. At that moment, Adeline called.

She had originally booked tickets for the next day to take her two kids on a one–day cruise trip, but something had come up at her family’s side, and she had to go back, meaning she wouldn’t be able to take care of the kids.

After listening, Celeste said, “Got it. I happen to be free tomorrow, so I’ll take them.”

Not long after she hung up, her phone rang again. This time, it was Beck calling.

Celeste answered and spoke first, “Sorry, if this is about Shanice, I already have plans tomorrow and won’t be able to make time,”

However, Beck didn’t hang up. Instead, he asked, “Would you mind telling me what plans you have?”

Then he added, “Shanice really hopes to see you tomorrow.”

Since it wasn’t something that needed to be kept secret, Celeste explained the situation to him.

Beck said, “A cruise trip, huh? Shanice would love that. Would you mind
