# Chapter 10: The Silent Distance Grows
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 10 of "The Breaking Point of Love" – a chapter where the cracks in Trevor and Celeste's marriage deepen, and a shocking revelation lurks just around the corner.
---
When Celeste didn't come home that night, Trevor barely noticed. He simply assumed she had gone back to the Rodriguez residence, as she often did. But then a small detail nagged at him – she usually brought Jordyn along when visiting Betty, yet this time she hadn't. Could something urgent have called her away? Jacob's earlier remarks echoed in his mind, but Trevor shrugged it off. Why should he care?
The next morning, over breakfast, Trevor informed Jordyn that her school enrollment was complete. She would start tomorrow.
"Got it," Jordyn said with a scrunched nose, then looked at him with hopeful eyes. "Can you take me to school tomorrow, Dad?"
"I might not have time."
Her face lit up with a mischievous sparkle. "Alright then. I'll call Wynn later and ask her to take me to school."
Before Trevor could respond, his phone rang. It was Fleming Manor – his grandmother Martha. Her voice came through, sharp as ever. "I heard you're back in the country."
"Yeah."
"Did Jordyn come back with you?"
"Yes."
"I haven't seen her in so long. I miss her. Bring her and Celeste over for dinner tonight."
"Sure."
Then Martha's tone shifted. "Where's Celeste? Let me speak with her."
"She's not here."
"At this time of day? Where could she be?"
"Probably at the Rodriguez residence."
"Probably? You're her husband, and you don't even know where she is?"
Trevor fell silent. The weight of Martha's sigh filled the empty space. She knew her grandson too well – he was stubborn, resolute, and this marriage was already a concession. She couldn't push him too hard, but that didn't stop her frustration.
"Your nonsense fills me up just fine!" she snapped.
Trevor chuckled lightly and continued eating, changing the subject. "Have you eaten?"
Martha, knowing she'd get nowhere with this mule of a grandson, sighed again. "Fine, I have nothing more to say to you."
"Okay. See you tonight."
"You – ugh!" She hung up in exasperation.
Jordyn, catching the tail end, asked, "Dad, who was that?"
"Your great-grandmother."
At the mention of Nana, Jordyn perked up. "Great! I haven't seen her in so long. I miss her!"
Trevor glanced at his phone and said nothing.

Meanwhile, at the Rodriguez residence, Celeste was having breakfast when Trevor's name flashed on her screen. She paused. The old flutter of joy and anticipation she once felt at seeing his name was gone – replaced by a hollow stillness. After a brief hesitation, she answered.
"Hello?"
"Grandma wants us to go to Fleming Manor for dinner tonight," Trevor said.
"Alright, sure."
"You can pick up Jordyn and bring her along."
Celeste's heart clenched. She didn't want to return to his home, and even if she went to pick up Jordyn, the girl wouldn't exactly be thrilled to see her. Why put herself in such a thankless position?
"Have the driver take her," she replied coolly. "I'll drive myself over after work."
Trevor was slightly taken aback. Celeste had always loved personally caring for Jordyn, never finding it burdensome. But he didn't dwell on it. It was a minor matter.
"Got it," he said, and hung up.
Jordyn, who had overheard, asked, "Was that Mom?"
"Yeah."
"So Mom is coming with us to Nana's tonight?"
"Yes."
Jordyn frowned instinctively. She hadn't seen Celeste in a long time, and for the first time, Celeste hadn't contacted her for over two weeks. A pang of longing stirred in her chest. But Celeste's return also meant less time with Wynn. When Jordyn had learned Celeste was away on business after coming back to the country, she had been delighted. She thought she could spend those days with Wynn. Now that Celeste was back, she wouldn't allow it.
Feeling deflated, she mumbled, "Dad."
"What is it?"
She clung to him pleadingly. "Dad, you promised to take me to Wynn's race tomorrow night. But if Mom finds out, she won't let me go. Can you not tell her? Just make something up, okay?"
"Okay," Trevor replied.
Reassured, Jordyn brightened slightly.

That afternoon, Celeste arrived at Fleming Group but didn't encounter Trevor. At noon, Betty called and invited her to lunch at a restaurant called Luxe Heaven, just a short walk from the office. Celeste agreed and headed over.
As she approached the corner near the entrance, she heard voices. A conversation drifted toward her, and she froze.
"Trevor, if it weren't for your help, I probably wouldn't have secured this contract no matter how much effort I put in. I really appreciate it."
The familiar voice made her stop. Peeking around the corner, she saw her father, Harvey.
Then came Trevor's calm, gentle voice. "Don't mention it, Mr. Locket."
Celeste's hands clenched into fists. She could tell that Trevor's tone was noticeably warmer than usual – the kind of tone he reserved for those he truly valued. But she didn't believe for a second that his regard for Harvey had anything to do with her. After all, ever since Harvey divorced Isabelle, their relationship had been nearly nonexistent. Harvey only publicly acknowledged Wynn as his daughter now.
There was no father-daughter bond left between them to speak of.
Sure enough, Harvey continued, "Wynn is here by herself. Her mother and I worry about her. Please take good care of her."
And there it was. The truth that hit Celeste like a dagger. Trevor was helping Harvey not for her sake, but for *Wynn's*. His gentle tone, his eagerness to assist – it was all for another woman. The woman he truly cared about.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a heartbreaking chapter! The emotional distance between Trevor and Celeste is now a canyon. Every interaction is cold, transactional, and full of unspoken pain. Celeste's realization that Trevor's kindness is reserved for Wynn – not her – is devastating. The irony is cruel: he'll go out of his way for another woman's family but can't even ask his own wife where she's been. And Jordyn's manipulation, choosing Wynn over her own mother, adds another layer of anguish. This chapter masterfully builds tension and sets the stage for an explosive confrontation.
⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars

And when Celeste finally learns the extent of Trevor's involvement with Wynn – expect sparks to fly and love to reach its breaking point.
