---- Chapter 759 Be nodded. "Then Daddy, you have to get better as fast as possible!" Carly''s expression turned grim as she watched Be. Be had already recognized herself as part of Adam''s family. The thought of this annoying little thing standing between her and Adam in the future made Carly''s head throb. Once she had Adam, she would find a way to deal with this child. Grace turned her attention to Carly. "Carly, I''m d you''re here today.

    There''s something I need to talk to you about." Carly reached out and linked her arm with Grace''s. "Mrs. Alvarez, I know I made a mistakest time. My mom criticized me after she came back, and I''ve been reflecting on it deeply. "I promise I won''t do anything like that again. Everything I did was because I love Adam. My mom and you are close friends , and she told me she feels at ease with me marrying Adam.

    Our families are also well-connected." Carly was sharp, always knowing how to use emotions to her advantage. She yed on the bond between Grace and Fiona to quiet any objections. However, Grace pushed her away. "Carly, the engagement ---- between our families is null and void!" Carly froze. "Mrs. Alvarez..." Grace said, "You''ve seen it for yourself. Be is Celine and Adam''s daughter. Adam loves Celine deeply. They''ve already registered their marriage today.

    In my heart, Celine is now my daughter-inw." She paused for a moment, then added, "As for your mother, I''ll speak to her personally. I believe Fiona would never meddle in matters of this kind." Carly was so furious that she gritted her teeth hard. She knew that Grace had clearly chosen Celine''s side! Celine had won everyone over! "But Mrs. Alvarez, Adam and Celine didn''t actually register their marriage today." What? Grace was stunned. She looked at Adam in disbelief.

    "Adam, didn''t you and Celine go to the city hall today to register your marriage?" Adam pursed his lips as he replied, "Mom, I suddenly felt unwell and couldn''t make it." Grace responded, "What a coincidence. You suddenly feel unwell just as you and Celine were supposed to register your marriage?" ---- Yes, why was it so coincidental? Adam let out a coldugh. He also wanted to know why it was so perfectly timed. In her cheeky voice, Be said, "It''s okay, Daddy.

    If you''re not feeling well, just get better first. When you''re all better, you can go with Mommy and get married." Adam kissed Be on the cheek. "You''re such a good girl, Be." Grace said, "Adam, I''ll stay here and look after you." Adam replied, "It''s fine, Mom. You should take Be home. My secretary is already on the way." 1 Grace nodded. "Alright, then." Carly stepped forward, trying to be helpful. "Mrs, Alvarez, I''ll stay here and look after him." "No!

    Carly, you have toe with me!" Grace insisted on taking Carly with her. Carly paused, confused. "Mrs. Alvarez, why do Ihave to leave with you?" "Carly, if you stay, Celine will definitely misunderstand when she sees you. I don''t want to upset her because of you." Carly was speechless . At the same time, she was furious too. ---- Grace had never been this biased before! She had never seen such favoritism from her. Carly turned to Adam.

    "Adam, you need me to stay and care for you, right?" Adam was silent for a few seconds, then replied, "Mom, take Be home. Let Carly stay." Grace froze. "Adam, you-" Grace opened her mouth as if to say something, but she swallowed her words when she saw Be''s big, round eyes looking up at her. Be was still too young to understand theplexities of the adult world, and Grace didn''t want to discuss such matters in front of her. "Come on, Be, let''s let him rest now.

    I''ll take you home." Be kissed Adam on the cheek and said, "Daddy, I''m leaving now. You should get some rest, okay?" Adam hugged Be. "Be, I will miss you." With that, Grace left the room with Be.style
