Semua Bab The Breaking Point of Love: Bab 531 - Bab 540

The moment Miles sent his message, the system popped up a notification. "Beck has left the group."Miles was dumbfounded.Without hesitation, he dragged him right back in and then replied, "Come on, I was just joking. Look at you—such a short fuse."Before Beck could reply, he was already typing again, "And honestly, this is on you guys. I told you yesterday we should watch the meteor shower and camp out. But nope, you were all 'busy,' so here I am, stuck alone. Boring as hell."Yesterday, when Miles brought up camping in the group, Beck had indeed brushed it off, saying he was busy.But the moment he saw Miles mention Celeste, his composure slipped.He stared at his phone for a long moment, then finally caved. "Send the location."Miles had just been venting—he hadn't actually expected either Trevor or Beck to change their minds.So, when that message came through, he froze for half a second before scrambling to drop the pin in the chat.Then, just to be sure, he added, "Wait

Celeste, Caleb, and Kieran had all come prepared, so their tables were already covered with all kinds of top-quality ingredients.Salads, wine, champagne, pastries, and specialty drinks were neatly arranged in picnic baskets and laid out on blankets, making their picnic setup look effortlessly perfect.After setting everything up, Caleb looked at the steak, lamb chops, and various seafood he'd brought along and asked Celeste, "Do you eat spicy food? These marbled lamb chops were flown in last night from out of town—I tried them before, the quality's really good—"Before he could finish, Kieran walked over, handed Celeste a drink, and cut him off. "This is a special drink I made. It tastes pretty good—want to try it?"Since he was already holding it out, Celeste had no choice but to take it. "Thanks."She couldn't ignore Caleb either, so she turned back to him and said, "I can eat spicy food. I'm not picky."Caleb smiled. "Okay."Then Celeste politely took a sip of the drink in h

Miles saw everything that happened on Celeste's side.But when he noticed Kieran and Caleb looking after Celeste and Lottie, he simply assumed it was out of gentlemanliness and didn't think much of it.After all, there were about eight or nine people in Celeste's group, with only Celeste and Lottie being women. It was perfectly normal for the men to take care of their female companions.Just as he looked away, Wynn returned."You're back," he said. "I was just about to call you. They've got some barbecue ready. Come eat."Wynn smiled. "Sure."As soon as she finished speaking, Linda and her friends came back too. They had gone for a short walk nearby, and Linda's mood had improved. When she heard there was a barbecue, she smiled faintly and was just about to say something when she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.She froze for a moment, thinking she might have seen wrong. Then she looked again and realized she hadn't."...Is that Celeste? What's she doing here?"Ce

Miles, who'd been bored out of his mind the whole evening, finally brightened up the moment he saw Beck. "Finally! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you."Beck smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and when he noticed Wynn looking over, gave her a polite nod before sitting down beside Miles.Linda didn't know that Beck would be there too.The scene of him bluntly rejecting her before was still vivid in her mind, and it still stung. So, when he showed up, she only glanced at him once before quickly lowering her head, not daring to look again.Miles said, "Let's play Mafia later. Since Trevor isn't here tonight, we can finally have some fun. He wins every time, so it completely ruins the experience for the rest of us."Beck had already eaten before coming, but still took a few bites of the barbecue. Hearing that, he smiled, clinked glasses with Miles, and said, "Sure."They ate for a bit longer, but soon Miles and the rest couldn't wait to start the game.Beck, howe

Most of the people camping here tonight had come for the meteor shower.Unfortunately, even after waiting until past 1:00 am, Celeste and her friends didn't see a single shooting star. Eventually, they decided to head back to their tents to rest.Matthias, Caleb, and Kieran watched as Celeste disappeared into her tent.Once she was gone, Matthias glanced at the two men beside him, cleared his throat, and said, "She's not officially divorced yet. Even if you're planning to pursue her, mind your boundaries. Don't make things harder for her.""I know," Kieran replied first. But then he frowned slightly. "Still… If I remember right, her mandatory waiting period should've ended a while ago. Why isn't the divorce finalized yet? Did something go wrong?"Caleb already knew about Celeste's divorce delay—Matthias had explained the basics to him earlier—so he stayed quiet.Hearing Kieran's question, Matthias could only purse his lips and repeat, "That guy had something come up at work and m
