Chapter 1092

“No. There still isn’t a way to undo it,” Adam said defeatedly.
“Fine. Until your Heartstring Venom is cured, I’ll take good care of Celine for you,” Nathan said.
Adam shot him a warning look.
Nathan laughed. “Relax. As a friend. There you go being jealous again.”
“Celine has plenty of friends. She doesn’t need you!” Adam said.
Nathan went silent for a beat.
“I’m stepping out to make a call,” Adam said, standing before leaving the room.
Nathan looked around the huge private room, now empty except for him.
Just great. He resigned himself to drinking coffee.
Outside, Adam really was making a call. He pulled out his phone and dialed a familiar number.
A moment later, Martin’s voice came through. “Adam? What made you call this old man today?”
The two families had been close for generations. Martin Lynch had practically watched Adam grow up.
Adam smiled. “Mr. Lynch Senior, Nathan came back today. I’m having dinner with him now.”
“That brat came back without warning? Did he bring Michelle with him?” Martin really liked Michelle.
“No. He came back alone!” Adam said.
“What a brat. He’s already married yet still acts single. I’m waiting for great- grandchildren!” Martin said.
“Mr. Lynch Senior, if you want great-grandchildren, you’d better give Nathan and Mrs. Lynch more
chances to actually be together outbe waiting forever”
Otherwise you’
Adam said.

“I know. I’ll call the Landon family now. They’ll send Michelle over immediately!”
Martin replied.
Adam’s goal
was achieved. Michelle
would be here soon. He would get to
watch the show, and the get to
ival at his doorstep would finally be handled.
Just then, Celine walked up. “Adam, why did you come out?” Adam raised a brow. “I was making a call.”
“To whom? You look way too pleased,” she said suspiciously.
“That’s classified. I’m not telling you,” Adam replied.
Celine remained silent.
Adam slipped an arm around her shoulders. “You and Nathan—”
She cut him off quickly. “Mr. Alvarez, he and I are just friends. Stop assuming the worst!”
Adam reached out and pinched her cheek lightly. “I’m not worried.”
She stared at him. “Then why did you come after us? Didn’t the curse flare up?”
She took his wrist and checked his pulse. “Let me see.”
Her brows knitted almost instantly. “Adam, did you take painkillers again?”
He knew he couldn’t hide it. Celine was a doctor, after all. He rubbed her hair gently. “I’m fine!”
She pushed his hand away. “Don’t say you’re fines
have serie Those painknet
hurting you!”
