The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 551

Jordyn handed Celeste the gift Trevor had prepared for her—but just as Celeste reached out, Jordyn pulled it back and clung to her hand coquettishly. "Mom, look at my gift first!"

Celeste paused. "...Alright."

She opened the box as Jordyn watched eagerly.

Inside was a neatly framed oil painting. The person in the painting was her. In the lower right corner, a line of small words read: "To my Mom, happy birthday."

Celeste felt her heart jolt as if struck. Her hand froze midair, gripping the frame.

Jordyn shook her hand gently. "I painted it half a month ago! Do you like it, Mom?"

Snapping out of her reverie, Celeste looked at her daughter's hopeful face. Her emotions were a tangled mess, but she answered honestly, "I love it. You're getting really good at painting, sweetheart."

Hearing that, Jordyn's face lit up with pure joy. "If you like it, I'll paint another one for you next time!"

"...Okay."

Satisfied, Jordyn finally stuffed Trevor's gift into her hand. "Mom, I have to go to school now or I'll be late! I'll come again tonight to have dinner with you, okay?"

"...Alright."

At some point, Betty and the others had also come out. Jordyn waved at them cheerfully before hopping into the car and leaving.

Once she was gone, Celeste turned back silently.

The fact that Trevor sent a gift didn't mean he wasn't still going through with the divorce today—so no one in the Rodriguez family said a word.

Adeline broke the silence. "The pancakes are ready, Cel. Come have some first."
