Chapter 1089

Adam still wanted to take Celine home.
Celine reached out and wrapped her arms around him.
He tightened his embrace, as if he wanted to crush her into his very bones and never let her go again.
However, they had to part. She couldn’t go home with him.
He might throw caution to the wind and come to her, but she couldn’t watch him spiral down like that.
Celine said, “Adam, I’m leaving.”
She let go of him, opened the car door, and left.
“Celine!” Adam called after her as he climbed out of the car.
But Celine didn’t stop. She kept walking without looking back.
Adam lowered his gaze and leaned wearily against the car. He took out a cigarette and lit it.
Just then, Leo walked over. “Mr. Alvarez, where should we go now?”
Instead of answering, Adam took a slow drag from his cigarette and exhaled.
On her way home, Celine received a call from Bella.
Bella’s voice was soft and sweet as she called out, “Mommy.”
Celine was very grateful to Grace for taking care of Bella during this time. Grace doted on Bella, and the two got along so well, which gave Celine and Adam some much-needed space.
Hearing Bella’s voice made Celine’s heart melt. “Bella, do you miss me?”
Bella nodded. “I miss you and Daddy, but Grandma said you two are busy, so I’m being a good girl.”
Such good genes and such a sweet daughter. This was one of the reasons Celine was willing to have twins.
Celine smiled. “Oh, sweetie. What are you doing now?”
“I already took a bath. Grandma is telling me a bedtime story, and I’m getting ready for bed.”
“Alright. Goodnight, Bella.”
Just then, Grace’s voice came through the phone. “Celine.”
“Yes, Mrs. Alvarez.”
Since Celine and Adam weren’t
married yet she still addressed.
Grace
as Mrs. Alvarez, even though they were connected ella.
Grace said, “Don’t worry, Celine. I’ll take care of Bella.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Alvarez.”
“Celine, make sure you’re getting enough rest. How’s the baby?”
Bella cheered happily. “I’m going to be a sister!”
Celine smiled. “The baby’s fine. I’m a doctor, so don’t worry.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Grace actually wanted to say
something more, but after a
moment
hesitation she! held
back. “Celine, get some rest, alright
Celine smiled. “I will.”
When they hung up the phone, Celine had already arrived at her villa and noticed a Maybach parked in front.
Who could it be?
She walked up and was surprised to see a familiar figure.
“Nathan!” she called out.
Nathan turned around and smiled when he saw her. “Celine, it’s been so long.”
Adam’s good friend, Nathan, had actually returned from overseas.
Back then, Nathan had no idea that Celine and Adam were married. He had always liked Celine.
After she got together with Adam, Nathan went abroad. Later, Celine heard that he had entered into a family-arranged marriage.
But he was suddenly back now.
Celine was genuinely surprised. “Nathan, why are you back so suddenly?”
Nathan wore a khaki trench coat, looking refined and handsome. He smiled. “What, you don’t welcome me?”
Celine didn’t have many friends, and Nathan was one of the few.
Nathan and Adam both came from powerful families. While Adam embodied the cold, domineering CEO type, Nathan had always had the refinement of an heir from a prestigious family
