“Ahh!“Carly’s scream forced Adam to m on the brakes, bringing the Rolls–Royce to a sudden halt.
Gasping for air, she was visibly shaken. “Adam, why were you driving so fast?
Adam’s expression remained dark. He nced ahead, noticing that the Lamborghini he had nearly caught <b>up </b><b>to </b><b>had </b>already sped off into the distance during his brief stop.
Pressing his lips together, he asked, “Are you okay?
Carly nodded and replied, “I’m fine”
<b>She </b>then added bitterly, “I can’t believe Celine is now cozying up to Nathan, Did you see her dancing in the club earlier? I bet she spent her time in the countryside learning tricks to seduce men after dropping out of school at 16! That woman has no shame!”
Adam’s gaze humed icy as images of Celine dancing alluringly on the dance floor reyed in his mind. Carly was right–Celine clearly knew how to seduce men. That must be why Nathan, who had such high standards for women, fell for her charm
“Adam, did you finalize the divorce with Celine today?” Garly asked.
“Not yet,” Adam replied.
Carly was taken aback. “Why not? I thought you went to settle it <b>today</b>.”
“Grandma is very fond of Celine. Considering her health, I decided to postpone the divorce for now” Adam exined.
<b>Mary </b>intervened in the divorce?
Carly knew that Mary had never been fond of her. Instead, she favored celine and constantly supported her. This truth left Carly feeling deeply threatened
She couldn’t help but wonder <b>if </b>Adam and Celine would remain married as <b>long </b>as Mary was around, keeping her from ever bing Mrs. Alvarez
Feeling frustrated, Carly asked, “Adam, why do you always Esten to your grandmother? What <b>about </b>me? I’m not getting any younger, and a woman’s youth is her most valuable asset How <b>much </b>longer do you expect me to wait?”
Adam nced at her and replied, “If you had agreed three years ago, you would already be my wife, and Celine would never have had the chance to take your ce!!
His sharp words left Carly momentarily speechless. Realizing she needed to change her approach, Carly softened her tone and leaned closer, wrapping her arms around his neck.” I’m sorry, Adam. I just want to marry you so badly. Don’t you feel the same <b>way</b><b>? </b>
However, her softened demeanor failed to sway Adam that night. Gently removing her hands from his neck, he said indifferently, “I’ll take you <b>home</b>.”
Left with no choice, Carly leaned back in her seat, her eyes glinting with a <b>cold </b>determination.
She hated walking passively. When she wanted something, she made it happen.
Adam and Celine’s divorce had to be finalized <b>soon</b>–no one, not even Mary, could stand in her way!
Half an hourter, Adam arrived home, parking his Bolls–Royce on thewn of Alvarez Residence. Entering the living room, he found it empty. Celine was nowhere to be seen.
His irritation grew. She should <b>have </b>been home by now, Nathan must have dropped her off long ago. Unless they had gone somewhere else together.
Pilling out her phone, Adam dialed her number. When she answered after a brief ringtone, he asked coldly, “Celine Tate, why aren’t you home yet?11
Celine replied calmly, “Have you forgotten, Mr. Alvarez? I told you I won’t be returning to Alvarez Residence anymore.”
Adam retorted, “How am <b>I </b>supposed to exin that to Grandma if she doesn’t see you? Get back here <b>this </b>instant! Why do you insist on staying out? Who are you even with? Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
