Chapter 259

Celine extended her hand , eager to caress Adams handsome face .
However , before her slender fingers could make contact , he seized her hand and slowly opened his sleepy eyes .
He kissed her petite hand before looking up at her and asking , Youre up ? His voice was both enchanting and husky immediately after waking .
He cast his striking gaze downward , looking at her with undeniable tenderness .
Celines face was a bit flushed .
Its getting late .
Time to get up .
Adam cradled her delicate form in his arms .
Stay with me and sleep for a little while more .
He definitely needed more rest , but Celine sat up and insisted , No.
This is the womens dormitory .
Everyone will wake up soon and find out that youre here .
You need to leave now Adam gazed up , his striking eyebrows and captivating eyes glimmering with mischief as he teased , We slept together last night , yet you pushed me away this morning , Celine , why do you have to be so pragmatic ? She was rendered speechless .
With a fierce glare , she threw off the quilt and moved around him to get out of bed .
However , as soon as she stood up , legs turned to jelly .
, her Ah ! she shouted .
Just before she could hit the ground , a strong arm swooped in , wrapping around her slender waist and pulling her back up .
Adam lifted her .
Are you alright ? How could she possibly be alright ? Celine tightened her fist and struck him fiercely in the chest .
Celine had just awakened , her unadorned face flushed with a rosy glow .
Among the vibrant hairpins still in her hair , only a yellow one was awkwardly positioned .
She was blaming him coquerishly .
Adam chuckled softly as if he was pleased by her playful gesture .
He had always been drawn to her fresh , innocent , and feminine charm .
Laying her gently on the bed , he leaned over her with a smirk Feeling energetic ? Lets do some morning exercises then .
He then lowered his head and kissed her .
Celine avoided his so called morning exercises .
Adam , dont They w were frolicking on the bed .
The atmosphere was thick with sweetness .
It was undoubtedly the scent of love enveloping them .
At that moment , Adams hand slipped beneath her pillow , and his fingertips unexpectedly brushed against something solid .
underneath your pillow ? e asked , Whats that It was the emerald necklace .
It was the emerald necklace he gave her in the cave that year .
She replied , You gifted it to me .
Yeah Celine wanted to take out the emerald necklace from under the pillow to show him .
She had often wondered if he still remembered her , as it seemed he had forgotten Just as Celine reached for the emerald necklace , a melodious phone ringtone unexpectedly sounded .
Someone was calling him .
Adam answered the phone to Lucys panicked voice .
Hello , Mr.
Alvarez Carly has taken her own life by cutting her wrists .
Upon hearing the news , Celine paused abruptly as she was in the midst of retrieving the emerald necklace .
In that instant , the weight of his presence lifted from her , and she felt the immediate absence of his warmth .
Adan rose from the bed , his striking features transforming into a mask of tension and sharpness .
Ill be there shortly .
