Chapter 124

124 124 Adam glanced at Celines bed, noticing how neatly her quilt and pillow were arranged.
However, a white towel was left on the bed after she had just showered.
Momentarily captivated, he quickly averted his gaze and turned sideways to catch a glimpse of Celine behind him.
Celine explained, I fought with Elijah because… Celine, 1 enrolled you at Yorhine University to focus on your study in medicine.
What are you doing instead? Sleeping in class and getting into fights afterward? While you may not be as talented as Carly, you shouldnt cause trouble.
The Zander family wanted to expel you from the university.
I cant continually drop everything to clean up your messes.
The frustration that Adam had suppressed for so long finally erupted, leading him to unleash his anger on Celine.
Celine gazed at him, witnessing his anger.
He seemed utterly unwilling to hear her explanation.
Deep down, he simply believed she was utterly unworthy and unable to measure up to Carly in any way.
He had transformed entirely from the man who played cards with Carly in the bar last night.
He had been gentle, enjoying the grapes and wine Carly shared with him.
But now, he was distant and impatient toward her.
He liked Carly, but he hated her.
She looked at him innocently.
Alvarez, I apologize for wasting your time.
Adam was stunned.
Celine smirked.
I dont know why Mr.
Moore contacted you.
Ill let him know youre not my guardian, so you wont have to deal with my affairs anymore.
She walked out as she spoke, reaching for the door to let him out.
Alvarez, you may go now.
Adams anger peaked as he grabbed Celines wrist and asked, Celine, whats with your attitude? Celine attempted to push him away, but her efforts were in vain.
Adam took a step back, inadvertently hitting the bed with his knee, which sent them both tumbling onto the mattress together.
This was Celines bed, infused with her delightful and charming feminine aroma.
Adam recognized the scent well, having shared this bed with her on two occasions.
During the two days that she had moved out of Alvarez Residence, he had slept in the company lounge.
After two days without her alluring scent, he found himself unexpectedly immersed in it once more.
Her soft physique pressed against his distinguished, cool frame.
She had just taken a shower, and each of her hair strands exuded a captivating fragrance.
In response, Adams muscles tensed, and his Adams apple bobbed rapidly.
Celine screamed in surprise as they fell onto the bed.
She instinctively tried to push him away and tried to get up.
Yet, he grabbed her slender wrist and asked hoarsely, Celine, where are you touching? She could still sense the firmness of his muscles as if she had been resting against his abs.
She felt the urge to explain herself.
I… However, Adam wrapped his arms around her and gazed up at the ceiling with a relaxed demeanor.
In a husky voice, he inquired, Celine, can you please behave?
