# Chapter 286: The Unspoken Distance
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 286 of "The Breaking Point of Love" – a chapter filled with quiet tensions, hidden glances, and the heavy silence that lingers between people who once meant everything to each other. Let's step into this moment and feel every heartbeat of the story.

Celeste stepped out of the car and closed the door. The rain had softened to a gentle drizzle, and the night air carried a chill that seemed to seep right through her clothes. Without a word, she walked forward quietly and took the umbrella from Trevor's hand. He didn't resist. Instead, he lowered his head, his gaze falling on her ankle.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice low and unreadable.
It actually hurt a little. The twisted ankle throbbed with each step, but Celeste could still walk. She could still stand on her own two feet. Yet she didn't say anything to him. She couldn't be bothered to wonder why he had swooped her up and carried her in his arms just moments ago. The answer didn't matter anymore.
She said nonchalantly, her voice flat as still water, "Give me a call once the divorce procedures are done."
Her meaning was crystal clear: There was no need for them to keep in touch unless it was about their divorce. No small talk. No concern. No lingering threads.
At the next moment, Celeste held the umbrella, walked past him, and left. She didn't look back.
Trevor watched her retreating figure. The rain pattered softly on the pavement, and the streetlights cast long shadows around them. He didn't stop her. Instead, he did nothing as she walked away. Their cars weren't parked too far apart, yet the distance between them felt like an ocean. He didn't turn around and leave until she had safely gotten into her car. A while later, his car drove out of the parking lot. Then, Jorge's car also left.
The news regarding the forum was released later that evening. Celeste had gone to the hospital before heading home around 8:00 pm, and she had just finished dinner when the reports started flooding in. At the same time, Wynn and Lilian were reading the news as well. Their brows furrowed when they realized that Celeste had represented Yoda Vision Co. at an important government event.
Didn't Celeste have some relationship issues with Matthias? How could she have attended such a pivotal event on his behalf, then?
Wynn understood something in that moment. If Celeste had represented Matthias in such an important event, then Wynn's efforts to send in her resume to Yoda Vision Co. would amount to nothing. The doors she had hoped to open were already closed.
Lilian's furrowed eyebrows quickly relaxed. She gracefully took the bowl of soup her maid handed her and said, "No rush. Let's wait and see what happens."
Her voice was calm, almost elegant. Celeste had a rather outstanding appearance, and Matthias wouldn't be able to part ways with her just like that, Lilian reasoned. It was normal for couples to grow apart and get back together from time to time. But the fact that they did split up meant there was a crack in their relationship. They might still be together right now, but they probably wouldn't last long. That was why Wynn still stood a chance to work in Yoda Vision Co. and break the ice with Matthias.
On the other hand, Wynn also understood what Lilian meant. She felt the same way. Besides, she didn't feel bothered when she saw Celeste and Trevor sitting close to each other at the forum. She had confidence in herself and in Trevor. That bond was unshakable, she believed.
That was when Calvin came downstairs. "Wynn. You're home."
"Yeah," Wynn replied. "How did things go at school?"
Calvin was in the 12th grade, and he had transferred to Baumond starting this semester. Trevor's men had already handled the necessary procedures. However, the teaching materials in Youtopia were different from Baumond. After New Year, he had been busy comparing the differences with his teacher, checking for gaps, and catching up on stuff he didn't know. He responded casually, "Everything's swell. Aren't you aware of how good a student I am?"
That was true. Wynn and Calvin had always been top students with excellent grades. They didn't need their parents to monitor their studies. Wynn and Lilian giggled when they heard his confident response.

The next day, Beck and Jorge arrived at Yoda Vision Co. at the same time. The latter said, "Hi, Mr. Harper. Fancy bumping into you here."
Beck responded with a polite nod, "Hi, Mr. Robinson."
Jorge was about to say something when Celeste and Matthias came out to welcome them. She had gotten out of Trevor's car rather quickly yesterday. Jorge wasn't sure what she had said to Trevor afterward, but he had noticed something. On both occasions – last year's year-end banquet and everything that went down yesterday – Trevor seemed to be the one making a move on her. Instead, Celeste appeared rather cold and aloof.
The realization left Jorge feeling bewildered. Celeste was extraordinarily beautiful, he admitted. He could understand if other guys fell in love with her, but Trevor was no ordinary guy. Aside from physical appearance, she didn't hold a candle to Wynn. Jorge simply didn't get it. Why would Trevor have eyes for Celeste when he had Wynn?
Celeste caught the coldness and disdain in Jorge's eyes. Her voice turned icy. "Mr. Robinson, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Ms. Rodriguez, you're being overly sensitive," he responded coldly. "It is my understanding that we don't have any common topics."
Matthias and Beck had seen the news about yesterday's forum. Naturally, they were aware that Celeste and Jorge had met each other yesterday. It didn't take Matthias long to guess that something unpleasant had gone down between the two of them. He plastered on a smile as he looked at Jorge. "Oh? What happened?"
Celeste had no intention of wasting time. Before Jorge could say anything, she spoke up first. "It's nothing." Then, she turned and faced Beck. "Mr. Harper, this way, please."
Beck nodded in response. He cast a glance at Jorge before following her to the conference room. Although Celeste didn't tell Matthias about what had happened, he knew that the unpleasant interaction must have stemmed from Wynn. If she didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask either. He said to Jorge coldly, "Mr. Robinson, let's head inside."
This was the first time Beck had seen Celeste after New Year's Eve. When he saw her just now, his gaze had never left her. The rest of them hadn't noticed because they were focused on the unpleasantness between her and Jorge. Once they were in the conference room, he turned his gaze away and said as he took a seat, "I intended to attend yesterday's forum. It's a shame that I had to go outstation for a couple of days and couldn't make it. I had to get someone else to take my place instead."
"It's normal for clients to chat a little before getting down to business," Celeste replied. She didn't think anything of it. "So, that's what happened."
Beck could tell that she hadn't noticed his intentions. Lowering his gaze, he changed the topic and began talking about work.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a beautifully tense chapter. The quiet distance between Celeste and Trevor is heartbreaking – you can feel her exhaustion, her refusal to read into his gestures anymore. The contrast between Wynn's confidence and Celeste's aloofness is masterfully drawn. Jorge's disdain and Beck's hidden gaze add layers of complexity. This chapter reminds us that even when people are in the same room, they can be worlds apart. The emotional restraint is powerful.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Beck's subtle interest in Celeste is becoming harder to ignore. Will he make a move, or will he remain a silent observer? Meanwhile, Jorge's hostility toward Celeste is likely to escalate, and with Matthias now aware of the friction, a confrontation may be brewing. Wynn's confidence might be tested soon, especially if Trevor's attention continues to drift. The threads are tightening – and someone is bound to snap.
