Chapter 1085

Celine was startled. Who was it?
As she turned around, Adam’s handsome face filled her vision.
He had chased after her again.
Immediately, she tried to pull her arm back. “Adam, what are you doing? Let go.”
Adam frowned. “I’m not letting go.”
Celine shouted, “Let me go! Ah!”
Without warning, Adam lifted her onto his shoulder.
She panicked. She was pregnant, after all. Struggling fiercely, she yelled, “Don’t carry me like that! Let me go, Adam!”
Noticing her resistance, Adam quickly adjusted how he was carrying her. He cradled her in his arms and brought her to his luxury car. After opening the back door, he gently settled her inside.
Celine tried to get out, but Adam climbed in after her and grabbed her firmly. “Celine, stop it.”
She paused, then looked at him. “Adam, you’re the one who should stop this.” With a strong pull, he drew her into his arms. “Celine, it’s okay. I’m not in pain.”
He said he wasn’t in pain. How could that be?
Celine knew he was lying. The pain from the Heartstring Venom was beyond human endurance. It was pure torture.
Anne had learned this witchcraft from Yoruzen, and Celine hadn’t found a way to break the venom in such a short time.
Falling back into his embrace, she caught that crisp orchid scent on him. The smell was both familiar and strangely distant.
She placed a hand against his chest. “Adam, nothing is more important than your life. I want you to take care of yourself—”
Before Celine could finish, Adam pressed his lips to hers, sealing her unfinished words inside that kiss.
Celine’s eyes widened. “Ada—”
As she tried to speak, Adam deepened the kiss with fierce determination.
His breath overwhelmed her senses. She wanted to pull away, but there was nowhere to run.
Celine felt her body go weak. While she could keep her mind clear, her
bodinctive reactions w
completely beyond her control.
She still loved Adam’s touch. She loved being close to him.
They already had a daughter together. Adam knew exactly how she’d react. He slipped his arms around her waist and lifted her to sit on his fap
Still kissing her, he reached for the buttons of her blouse.
Celine jolted, and her clarity returned stant She quickly grabbed

“Adam what are you
Are you crazy? don’t want
it!”
Are you crazy bedel
Adam looked at her flushed face and her beautiful eyes, which glimmered with a hint
of desire. “Are you sure?”
“Yes!”
“But your body says otherwise.”
Adam kept undoing her buttons.
Celine said firmly, “Adam, let go. We’re in a car. What exactly do you think you’re doing?”
Adam asked, “Celine, don’t you miss me? Answer me.”
Did she miss him?
Celine knew that he meant “miss” in a physical sense. Her face flushed even deeper. “I don’t!”
“But I do! Celine, I miss you so much.”
Adam lifted her by the waist and pressed her down against him.
Celine’s hands gripped his suit tightly, tugging the smooth fabric into wrinkles. “Adam, let me go!”
“I’m not letting go,” he murmured before he kissed her again.
