Chapter <b>235 </b>
Celine realized that Adam had dropped the act. The bad, seductive side of him was back.
She had wanted to expose his facade before, but now that she had, she found out that she didn’t actually want it to happen.
The Rolls–Royce Phantom glided smoothly <b>down </b>the road. Celine nced at Adam beside her and asked, “Did you have someone stop me from seeing
Robin?”
With his hands on the steering wheel, Adam casually replied with a hum
He admitted it.
“Is Mr. Lynch’s departure rted to you as well?” she asked.
Adam flicked the turn signal and smoothly turned the wheel. He said, “Nathan should have arrived by now. What do you think he’s doing?”
Celine stayed silent, waiting for him to continue
Adam handed her a photo. She took the photo and saw Nathan in it.
“This is Laura Gardner, the woman the Lynch family chose for Nathan. As soon as he <bnded</b>, he was taken to the matchmaking event. A marriage between the Lynch and Gardner families is inevitable.” novelbin
The photo was taken in a luxurious suite at a six–star hotel, where both the Lynch and Gardner families were present. Nathan and Laura sat across from each other.
The image perfectly captured the idea of a high–society marriage alliance. Laura wore a pristine white gown and looked every bit the refined heiress she was. They seemed like a perfect match.
<b>“</b>You can believe it was me who sent Nathan away, or you can believe the Lynch family called him back. Either way, the Lynch family’s doors <b>are </b>closed to you. There’s no future between you and Nathan.”
Celine looked at the photo and sensed how well Nathan and Lauraplemented each other. She felt happy for him, knowing he had found someone fitting. Nathan was one of her few friends, and she truly hoped he could find someone who was right for him.
She tucked the photo away and calmly said, “I know I’m not good enough for Mr. Lynch. I’m aware of that<b>, </b>Mr. Alvarez.”
Adam let out a low, dismissive hun. “Where do you want to go? A hotel?”
Celine’s heart skipped a beat. Was he really going <b>to </b><b>push </b>things so quickly?
She lowered her head. “I don’t want to go to a hotel.”
“Then Luc Garden it is,” he <b>said</b>.
Tonight, Adam was taking her back to Lux Garden. It was where they had first been together. That night of passion had left her with nothing but bitter humiliation. Celine never understood why Adam kepting back if he had already grown tired of her.
“Mr. Alvarez<b>, </b>do they have condoms at Lux Garden?”
Adam nced at her.
Celine straightened her back and said, “I’m allergic to birth control pills, so you’ll need to <b>use </b><b>a </b>condom. I assume you don’t want to get me pregnant, you<b>, </b>Mr. Alverez?”
Adam didn’t seem interested in having children, and Celine could <b>sense </b>that from his silence. She knew that night had been <b>a </b>result of his loss of <b>control</b>, induced by the drug he had taken.
Suppressing the bitterness that rose within her, Celine continued, “Here’s the deal. Have someone prepare the condoms and release Robin. I’m not going
anywhere.”
Just as she finick
