Chapter b321 /b

Hailey returned balone/b. Celine wasn’t with her.

James frowned. “Hailey, why are byou /bbalone/b? Where’s Celine?”

Halley exined with a smile. “Dad, Celine had something to do. She couldn’t make it today.”

Adam pursed his lips. “What was so important?”

Hailey smirked. “Adam, if you really want to know, Celine went out to have fun.”

Adam was surprised. “Where did she go?” he asked

“Mand 1 heard It’s about to snow there. She and the others went to see the first snowfall of winter. Oh, and Randall went too,” Hailey badded/bb. /b

Adam’s mind shed back to yesterday bwhen /btheir mentor had organized a trip to Mand to see the snow. He declined, but he hadn’t expected Celine to go–let alone with Randallb. /b

Halley chuckled. “Adam, I think Randall Likes Celine. He came to pick her up this morning. Looks like you won’t need to worry about introducing her to anypany CEOs now,” she teased.

Feigning a sigh, she added, “bSome /bmen really don’t know what they’ve got. They throw away a pearl and pick up dirt instead. Now, someone else is going to take that pearl.”

Adam said nothing.

Hailey didn’t insult him directly, but every word hit hard.

Celine was the pearl, while Carly was the dirt. Halley was clearly mocking him for trading one for bthe /bother.

Meanwhile, Celine bhad /barrived in Mand. She was part of a lively group of over ten people, including senior students from her university and top talents from nearby districts. Randall was balso /bamong them.

The group stayed at a seaside resort, with the beach stretching right in front of the hotel

“Celine, you’re in room 608,” one of the senior students said, handing her ba /bkey card.

“Thank youb,/b” Celine replied with a smile, epting the card.

bRandall /bnced at bhis /bkey. He got room 612, which was a bit too far from Celine. Without hesitation, he turned to ba /bsenior nearby. “Hey, can I switch with you for room 609?”

The others quickly caught on

“Room dog is right across from Celine. Looks like Randall wants to stay close,” someone teased.

“Randall’s bclearly /bgot a thing for Celine. Are you nning to pursue her?”

Randall’s eyes lit up as he looked at Celine standing far ahead. “A fairdy’s charm calls for a gentleman’s pursuit. Keep it down, guys–you’ll scare her off,” he saidb, /bgrinning

The othersughed. Randall’s protectiveness showed just how much he liked her

Later, Randall approached Celine. “Celine, do you really love watching snow?”

Celine nodded. Tve loved snow since I was a child. My dad and I made a promise to be /bto Mand to see the snow together.”

One of the senior students asked gently, “What about your bdad/b? Why didn’t you bring him along?”

Back then, when Celine still had her father, he built her a swing. When it snowed, she would sit on it while be held an umbre over her, pushing her high into the snowy sky.

He had said, “I’ve heard Mand’s snow is the most beautiful Next year, I’ll take by /b

However, in the following year, he was gone forever.

bA /bsoft smile tugged at Celine’s lips. “My dad passed away.”

The senior female student patted her shoulder in sympathy.

you to see it,”

Rendall said, “It’s okay. If your dad can’t watch the snow with you, we’re here bfor /byou,”

His words lifted the mood once more.

A senior badded/b, “ording to thetest weather forecast, the first snowfall in Mand ising soon. Let’s drop off our bluggage /band head out. We’ll catch the first snow of winter together!”
