The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 553

Along with Beck's bouquet came a simple card and a small handmade flower from Shanice. That gift from Shanice had been sent through Beck.

In Celeste's view, Beck sending flowers was nothing more than politeness. Even if it was just courtesy, since she had received the gift, it was only proper to thank him personally.

So, she called him.

Beck had been expecting her call, and he'd been waiting for it for quite a while.

So, the moment her number appeared, he answered immediately and spoke first, "Got the gift? Happy birthday."

"Yes, I did. Thank you for the flowers, and please also tell Shanice that I really liked her gift."

Beck chuckled softly. "I will. Shanice actually prepared and sent it out half a month ago. Knowing you liked it will make her really happy."

Hearing that, Celeste's heart warmed. "Please tell her that when she's free to come back to Baumond, I'd like to take her out for a meal."

"Alright, I'll tell her."

"Then I'll leave you to it," Celeste said. "And... Thank you again for the flowers."

Beck, of course, didn't want the call to end so soon. But—

"You're welcome."

After the call ended, Celeste paused for a moment, then dialed Caleb's number.

The call didn't go through. She figured the flowers must've been arranged in advance, as he was probably still at the military base.

So, she sent him a short message instead—a brief thank-you, along with a gentle but clear reminder of her boundaries.

Right after that, she sent a similar message to Kieran.

…

Meanwhile, after hanging up, the smile on Beck's face slowly faded.

After a long pause, he picked up his phone again and called Miles.
