The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 695

It was still morning, so most bars hadn't opened yet.

Matthias was still worrying about where to take Celeste for a drink when she received two messages from Zachary.

Ten minutes later, Celeste headed to the military base instead of heading to a bar.

Every time she went to the base, she ended up working herself to the bone. This time was no exception.

The very day she arrived, she pulled an all-nighter. It wasn't until the following evening that things finally slowed down.

It was past eight at night, but she hadn't had dinner yet.

Having just left the data room, she was on her way to the cafeteria when she spotted a tall figure standing in the corridor outside. Their eyes met.

Celeste paused slightly.

Caleb, however, walked straight to her.

"I heard you arrived yesterday, but I've been tied up with missions these past few days. Just finished not long ago."

"...Mm, you've worked hard."

"Want to grab a meal together?"

It was obvious he had been waiting for her, so she could only agree.

They chatted casually as they walked to the cafeteria.

During the meal, they talked about their respective work. When one topic ended, Celeste looked up and noticed Caleb had stopped eating and was watching her thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Bad mood?"

Celeste froze for a moment.

These past two days, she'd been so busy she hadn't had time to think. The heaviness in her chest had also been dulled by work. She thought she was doing fine since she hadn't dwelled on anything.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Not very. But I can tell," he said.
