The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 880

Celeste shook her head with a smile. "I doubt there's any bad blood between us. He probably just has no intention of getting to know us beyond a business relationship."

Conrad had been perfectly pleasant throughout their business discussions.

He seemed like someone who knew exactly how to maintain the right boundaries. Yet, when working with others, he had deliberately maintained just enough distance to make his lack of interest in developing a closer relationship clear.

After all, there had been no previous dealings between them. Matthias couldn't be bothered to dwell on why Conrad didn't want to get any closer.

He just shrugged. "Whatever. As long as it doesn't affect our collaboration, that's all that matters."

Celeste felt the same way.

After a long day, Matthias stretched his body. Once they were in the lift, he seemed to remember something and leaned closer to Celeste. "The court has already ruled on the case between the Locket family and Velotra. Has Trevor still not returned?"

Celeste shook her head. "The last I heard, he hadn't returned yet. I don't know about it now."

"The Locket family must have started preparing their appeal by now. Isn't he coming back to help them sort things out?"

"No idea."

Matthias naturally understood that Celeste wouldn't know anything about it. He was simply curious.

As for the Locket family's troubles, Celeste wasn't particularly concerned about how Trevor intended to help them. However...

She glanced at the date.

The one-month deadline she had given Trevor when she brought up the divorce the previous month had already passed by several days, yet she still hadn't heard anything from him.

After thinking it over, she decided to send him a message. "The one-month deadline has passed."

She didn't receive a reply until noon the following day.

"Sorry. I've had a lot on my plate lately. It'll be a while before I can return home."

After reading his message, Celeste tightened her grip on her phone but didn't reply. She put it down and was just about to eat when it vibrated again.
