188 188 Mary paused before smiling quickly and said, Alright, Celine.
You go ahead and accompany your friend.
Come back to have dinner with me when you save time.
Okay, Grandina.
With that, the two of them ended the call.
Mary turned to look at Adam, who was still reading the business newspaper with no expression on his face.
She asked, Adam, did you have a fight with Celine? He kept his eyes on the paper and answered, No She chuckled and said, Do you know this friend of hers? Is it a man or a woman? He didnt respond.
So, she reached out and snatched the newspaper from his hands and remarked, Do you even realize youre holding the paper upside down? Only then did Adam notice that the paper was indeed upside down.
He pressed his thin lips together Mary sighed and stood up.
She said, I know youve always been tangled up with Carly, but no one will wait for you forever.
When Celine has had enough of being disappointed, shell leave.
A woman as good as her wont lack admirers.
Once she walks away with someone else, dont come crying about it.
Alfred walked over and said, Mrs.
Alvarez Senior, is Mrs.
Alvarez back? Dinner is ready.
Celine isnt coming.
Im not eating anymore, Mary replied and headed upstairs alone.
Sensing the odd atmosphere, Alfred tumed to Adam and said, Mr.
Alvarez, why isnt Mrs.
Alvarez coming? Ever since she started school, she hasnt visited.
Alvarez Senior talks about her every day.
Without her here, the house feels so lifeless.
Alvarez Senior hasnt smiled in a long time He then sighed and left as well.
Adam sat alone on the sofa.
He reached up to loosen his tie, his face clouded and dark.
He pulled out his phone and opened Celines Whatsapp With his long fingers, he typed out a single line.
It read, Why arent you coming? After some thought, be deleted the message.
He was the one who had driven her out of Alvarez Residence.
Of course, she wouldnt retur.
After slapping him, she had been staying by Nathans side ever since.
Forget it.
Nathans injuries were nearly healed, and he would soon be discharged.
