The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 504

The flood got worse.

Although the Fleming Manor hadn't been much affected thanks to its geographical advantage, the cell signal grew unstable once night fell.

Based on the heavy rain warning she'd received that afternoon, she might not be able to leave the manor tomorrow to return to YodaVision for work.

That evening, after dinner, Celeste reported her safety to the Rodriguez family, then contacted Matthias to let him know she was currently at the Fleming Manor and might not be able to go to work the next morning.

Matthias said, "The situation is pretty serious now. YodaVision has already announced that employees can work from home tomorrow. So, don't rush. I'll help you handle anything urgent. Let's get in touch again tomorrow."

"Okay."

After that, Celeste sat on the floor with Jordyn, playing with some puzzle toys, while Trevor sat on the sofa reading.

Over an hour later, Trevor walked over.

Celeste didn't look up, but Jordyn did. "Dad? What's up?"

Instead of answering his daughter, Trevor's gaze fell on Celeste. "Want to play chess?"

Celeste did like chess. And Trevor was indeed a formidable opponent. If it were anyone else, she'd usually rise to the challenge. But if it was Trevor...

She gave a faint shake of her head. "Not interested."

Hearing this, Trevor didn't press. He simply shifted topics. "If you're bored, why not go upstairs and read for a bit?"

By "upstairs," of course, he meant either his bedroom or his study.

Celeste's expression didn't change. "No, thanks."

Trevor wasn't offended. He only chuckled lightly, then asked, "Have you looked at the latest journals?"

"No." She had bought the physical copies already, but she'd been too busy to read them.
