Earlier at Alvarez Residence, Celine bhad /bba /bhunch that Carly was behind the incident. Celine had been tricking Carly into talking so Adam could hear the story for himself.

bHe /bhung up band /blifted his gaze at Celine.

Her bgaze /bwas detached as she smirked. “Mr. Alvarez, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but that picture was sent by Carly.”

bAdam /bfrowned and said nothing.

Celine tried to walk away, but Adam suddenly grabbed her arm when she passed by. She instinctively pushed him away, not wanting to have any physkal contact with him. *Your grandmother fainted from anger when you lett. She even called out your name in her sleep. You should pay her a visit when you’re free,” advised Celine before leaving.

Leo approachedb, /bsaying softly, “Looks like Mrs. Alvarez misunderstood you, Mr. Alvarez. You never believed Carly’s words.

“In fact, you have been standing by the door the entire time. You bwould’ve /bheard the whole conversation even if she bdidn’t /bbcall /byou.”

Adam was an observant person; he would never simply believe one side of the story. He simply remained calm the entire time.

Adam had purposely left the ward to give Celine and Carly a chance to talk in private. However, he had been standing by the door, wanting to find out who was lying

To his surprise, Celine shared his notion. Adam thought her smart for calmly making Carly talk.

Instead of giving Celine a lesson, Carly had bgiven /bherself one

Staring at the direction line left, Leo bpraised/bb, /b“Mr. Alvarez, I think Mrs. Alvarez isn’t bas /bsimple as we think.”

In the past, Adam wasn’t attracted to Celine. To him, she was nothing but a prettydy. That bday/bb, /bhowever, made him view her differently.

He wondered what more was there to Celine. He was intrigued by the woman from the countryside who handled matters calmly and strategically.

Turning around, Adam ordered, “Let’s go homeb./b”

“Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Carly will surely call you if she can’t find youter,” reminded Leo. However, he immediately shut his bmouth /bwhen he saw the stern look on Adam’s bface /bCarly had taken advantage of bAdam’s /baffection for her and crossed his line. bThe /bincident would make Adam angry for some time. Yet, Carly bwas /bstill gloating, oblivious to it,

Mary was awake by the time Celine returned to Alvarez Residence

Holding Mary’s hand, Celine said sweetly, “Grandma, y

byou /bscared me to death.”

Mary patted her back affectionately. “Don’t worry, Oline. I won’t bdie /bso easily, Otherwise, Carly will step on you”

Crine’s eyes reddened. Not that anyone dared to bully her, but she felt protected in Mary’s arms. For someone unfamiliar with love, Celine suddenly felt weak. She hugged bMary /btightly, her eyes red with bears.

bJust /bthen, Alfred’s voice rang out. “Wee home, Mr. Alvarez.”

Adam had returned. His gaze fell on Celine. It was his first time seeing her hug Mary like a child.

Celine hurriedly pulled away from Mary and stood up. “Grandma, I’m going to bed first”
