Mary paused before smiling quickly and said, “Alright, Celine. You go ahead and apany your friend. Come back to have dinner with me when you save time.”
“Okay, Grandina.”
With that, the two of them ended the <b>call</b>.

Mary turned to look at Adam, who was still reading the business newspaper with no expression on his face.
She asked, “<b>Adam</b>, did you have a fight with Celine?–
He kept his eyes on the paper and answered, “<b>No </b>”
She chuckled and said, “Do you know this friend of hers? Is it a man or a <b>woman</b>?”
He didn’t respond. So, she reached out and snatched the newspaper from his hands and remarked, “Do you even realize you’re holding the paper upside down?” Only then did Adam notice that the paper was indeed upside down. He pressed his thin lips together
Mary sighed and stood up. She said, “I know you’ve always been tangled up with Carly, but no one will wait for you forever. When <b>Celine </b>has had enough of being disappointed, she’ll leave.
“A woman as good as her won’tck admirers. Once she walks away with someone else, don’te crying about it.”
Alfred walked over and said, “Mrs. Alvarez <b>Senior</b>, is Mrs. Alvarez back? Dinner is ready.”
“Celine isn’ting. I’m not eating anymore, Mary replied and headed upstairs <b>alone</b>.

Mrs. Alvarez Senior talks about her every day. Without her here, the house feels so lifeless. Mrs. Alvarez Senior hasn’t smiled in a long time ”
He then sighed and left as well.
Adam sat alone on the sofa. He reached up to loosen his tie, his face clouded and dark. He pulled out his phone and opened Celine’s Whatsapp With his long fingers, he typed out a single line. It <b>read</b>, “Why aren’t youing?
