Chapter 1093

“I’m strong. My body can handle the painkillers!” Adam said.
He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Celine. “Celine, I really don’t want to lose you. The moment I heard Nathan was back, I rushed over. I was scared, really scared. I was afraid that while I was gone, someone would slip into your life and into your heart. I was afraid you’d replace me.”
Now that he was hugging her in silence, she could feel the steady, forceful rhythm of his heartbeat against her ear and his whispered confession.
So a man like Adam was afraid too afraid she would be taken from him.
Celine’s resolve melted. She slowly lifted her arms and held him back. “You won’t lose me! I’m still looking for a way to break the curse. Adam, I’ll find a cure!”
“I believe in you. You’re my cure!” Adam murmured.
Everything was going to get better.
While they were wrapped around each other’s arms, Nathan appeared at the end of the hallway. He had gotten bored sitting alone in the private room and stepped out, only to catch them in an embrace.
Nathan froze. He really did like Celine. She was beautiful, resilient, and talented- the kind of woman who lit up a room. However, she loved Adam.
His smile faded with resignation.
They pulled apart when they noticed him.
Adam greeted, “Nathan.”
Nathan walked over. “Dinner’s paid for. Let’s head back.”
“Where are you staying? Do you want to crash at my place?” Adam offered.
Nathan rejected. “Two single men living together? People would talk. I’ll go back to my villa.”
“You’re ungrateful. I’m just trying to keep you from being lonely,” Adam muttered. “Thanks,” Nathan said dryly.
A cheerful ringtone chimed. An unknown number was calling Nathan. He answered anyway. “Hello? Who’s this?”
A female voice came through. “It’s me. Michelle.”
Nathan’s hand stiffened. He hadn’t expected that. They hadn’t even exchanged numbers, and she had never called him before. This was a first.
“What is it?” His tone was cold.
“I just landed. I’m in Kingshire. Come pick me up!” Michelle said.
“You’re in Kingshire? Why?” Nathan was in shock.
“I didn’t want to come. But Mr. Lynch
put called my grandpa, and he
on a private jet and sent me
Over!” Michelle said. Content belong’s
Nathan fell silent.
“And my grandpa told me I have to live with you. So you need to come get me!” Michelle continued.
“Live with me?”
Nathan was speechless. Before he could respond, another call came in. It was Martin.
Nathan switched lines. “Grandpa, did you send Michelle here?”
“You brat. Why did you go to Kingshire without her? You’ve been married for five years, and nothing has happened. Her stomachris stiftes flat Both families are waiting for great-grandchildren!” Martin said.
