The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 472

After wrapping up their work, Celeste noticed that Kieran hadn't left but was instead looking thoughtfully at Beck. Not knowing if the two of them had any private dealings, she asked, "What is it?"

Previously, Kieran had seen that Beck liked Celeste but hadn't pursued her, so he assumed he might no longer be interested.

But judging from today's interaction, it was clear that Beck still liked Celeste very much and had no intention of giving up on her.

Kieran quickly realized that Beck likely already knew Celeste wasn't divorced yet—and possibly even knew who her husband was.

With that thought, Kieran had initially considered trying to probe Beck for some information about Celeste's husband.

But recalling the way Beck had looked at him just now, Kieran felt that even if he did know who her husband was, there was no way he'd kindly share that information.

Besides, if he were to ask, he'd also be admitting that he didn't know enough about Celeste himself…

It wasn't worth the risk, and Kieran wasn't someone to act on impulse.

Having come to that conclusion, Kieran withdrew his gaze and smiled lightly as he said to Celeste, "It's nothing. I've got something to do, so I'll be heading off now."

Celeste replied, "Alright."

Beck had noticed Kieran's gaze but wasn't a mind reader—he didn't know exactly what Kieran was thinking.

Still, from Kieran's cold, intense look, he could tell that Kieran was determined to win Celeste over.

After Kieran left, Beck chuckled and said, "That was the son of the Gibson family, right? I'd heard he was the spoiled and reckless type, but after interacting with him a few times, he actually seems pretty serious about work."

Celeste thought he was just making casual conversation, so she responded, "He does take his work seriously. He's never complained about pulling all-nighters when needed, and he's never been late or left early. More importantly, he's quite talented. Overall, he's pretty good."

After learning about Kieran's background, Celeste had also assumed he came to YodaVision on a whim.

The fact that he'd stayed on this long had surprised her.

And on a daily basis, she found working with Kieran comfortable—very different from the impression he gave the first time they met.

In that light, Kieran staying at YodaVision really did seem to be an effective way to win her over.

Especially with her divorce from Trevor soon to be finalized—well, there's a saying, "Proximity has its privileges."

After they finished talking business, Beck invited Celeste to dinner.

She agreed.

As they left the meeting room to go out for dinner, they happened to see Kieran leaning casually against the doorway.

Seeing Celeste and Beck leaving together didn't surprise him at all.

It was as if he had already predicted that Beck would use work as an excuse to invite Celeste to dinner.

And the fact that he was there seemed like he had been waiting for just that.
