Chapter 200
200 Following the toast , Carly glanced over to Adam , who was sitting beside her .
Throughout the event , he remained silent , not engaging in any discussions with the Tates .
He maintained a remarkably low profile .
After Celine departed , he gazed absently in the direction she had gone , lost in thought .
Carly asked , Adam , whats wrong ? Do you think its inappropriate for us to invest in Dr.
Cs medical group ? Adam looked up at Dr.
C , who sat across from him .
A twinge of guilt washed over Dr.
Yet , Adams eyes remained steady and incisive as if they could see right through him .
The encounter with both Adam and Celine moments ago left him feeling unsettled .
Adam simply cast a calm glance in his direction before turning away .
Its nothing .
Just make your own decisions .
He added , I need to attend to something else , so Ill be leaving now .
After that , he stood up and prepared to depart .
Alvarez , why are you leaving ? We havent had dinner .
Sonia signaled Carly .
Carly knew that Adam was still upset about the photo .
Yet , when he learned she was having heart problems , he still rushed over without hesitation .
As she placed her hand over her heart , she looked at him and said , Adam , my heart is hurting .
Adam stopped as Carly fell into his arms .
Adam , can you please carry me up to rest ? Thats right , Mr.
Please take Carly to rest first .
Adam gazed at Carlys pale complexion and , after a moments hesitation , finally relented .
He lifted her into his arms , and together they ascended the stairs .
Sonia gazed at Hayden and Lucy .
Since Tracys dating Dr.
C , and theyll be getting married soon , will Carly still not be marrying Mr.
Alvarez by then ? Hayden and Lucy were stunned .
Adam and Carlys situation was not going as expected .
Sonia hinted , Ive always valued Carly .
Carly needs to speed up the process .
Its time for Mr.
Alvarez and Celine to get a divorce .
It was indeed time for Adam and Celine to separate .
Their marriage had lingered on far too long .
Lucy quickly grasped the clue and replied , Mom , I get it .
Carly will make sure Mr.
Alvarez stays over tonight .
Sonia was pleased .
Thats great .
Tracy and Carly are the important members of our Tate family .
Itd be best for your families to have a joint wedding .
Itll surely create a buzz in Mercity and become a memorable story .
She found herself in a lovely fantasy .
Despite the secret rivalry between the Hayden and Wayne families , they remained united after Aarons death , especially when it came to bullying Celine .
If Adam and Dr.
C could hold their wedding together , the Tate family would undoubtedly beam with pride .
Sonia lifted her glass once more .
Lets raise another toast to the incredible life that lies ahead of us .
Celine didnt leave Tate Manor right away .
Instead , she wandered into the backyard .
It was there that a swing , constructed by Aaron just for her , once stood .
As a child , she would sit on that swing , soaring high into the air with Aaron giving her powerful pushes .
Celine is flying high .
The joyful moments she shared with Aaron lingered vividly in her thoughts .
Yet , when she stepped into the backyard , her heart sank as she discovered the swing had vanished .
Sonia had ordered its removal .
Gazing at the empty space , Celine felt an overwhelming tightness in her chest , as if a firm hand was squeezing her heart .
The loss of that last cherished memory left her feeling profoundly unsettled .
After standing quietly for a while , Celine was ready to leave when two maids approached with a tray of scented candles .
As they walked by , she overheard their conversation .
Are these scented candles meant for Mr.
Alvarez and Ms.
Carlys room ?
