With that, Celine turned and walked away.


    As her slender figure quickly disappeared from view, Sofia stepped forward. In a low voice, she said, "Mrs. Alvarez, I didn''t expect the conversation to go this smoothly. Ms. Celine is nothing like I imagined."


    She hesitated for a moment before adding, "When I went to Jupiter Heights to bring her here, she waspletelyposed. There was something striking about her graceful yetmanding."


    Sofia had been Grace''s trusted housekeeper since the day she got married, staying by her side all these years.


    Grace looked in the direction where Celine had disappeared and said, "She''s not what I expected."


    Just then, the door opened. Grace turned and saw a tall, imposing figure stepped out.


    "Mr. Hampton."


    It was Nigel.


    He had been there all along, listening to everything that had been said between Celine and Grace from inside the room.


    Nigel''s gaze followed the path where Celine had left. "She''s gone?"


    Grace nodded and replied, "Yes, she is."


    Nigel said, "She''s not an ordinary woman. Adam''s taste in women wasn''t that bad."


    Grace muttered, "Even so, some things just aren''t meant to be."


    Nigel said nothing more.


    As Celine went downstairs, a Rolls-Royce Phantom sped toward her and came to a sharp stop.


    After the driver''s side door swung open, Adam emerged. His tall and refined figure came into view.


    He had rushed over.


    Adam ran to her and asked concernedly, "Celine, why are you out here? Did my mom give you a hard time? Did she say something harsh to you?"


    Celine shook her head and said, "No. She only wanted what''s best for you. She offered me a check to leave you, but I turned it down."


    Adam''s gaze lit up, and he grasped her delicate shoulders. "Celine, I knew you wouldn''t leave me. We-"


    "Mr. Alvarez, you''re mistaken. I didn''t take the check because we never truly got back together. I have no right to ept it," Celine said bluntly.


    Adam was stunned.


    Celine coldly pushed his hand away and said, "Adam, I''m leaving Mercity with Perry tomorrow, and I won''t being back again."


    Adam was very shocked. "You''re leaving tomorrow?"


    Celine nodded. "Yes. My pregnancy is further along now, and I need to focus on having this baby. Adam, don''te looking for me. I just want a peaceful life with Perry and my child."


    With that, she left.


    Adam reached out and pulled her into his arms from behind, holding her tightly. He buried his face in her hair and said hoarsely, "I don''t believe it! Celine, please don''t go."


    He held her tightly, as if afraid she would run away. "We just found each other again. Are we really saying goodbye this soon? Don''t you remember that we promised we would be together forever?"
