Chapter 30
30 30 Despite Adams questions, Celine hung up without a word, leaving him speechless.
Damn you, Celine.
How dare you hang up on me! Adam thought Noticing Alfred Wales, the butler, walking toward him, Adam ordered, Alfred, call Mrs.
Alvarez Tell her that Grandma isnt feeling well and she needs to come back immediately! Alfred was taken aback.
Alvarez, Mrs.
Alvarez Senior is sleeping soundly after taking Mrs.
Alvarezs medicinal soup.
Shes fine.
Adam rolled his eyes.
You know? Le!! Alfred was startled.
Alvarez, I dont think thats a good idea.
Alvarez has been taking care of you and Mrs.
Alvarez Senior for the past three years.
Shes worked hard.
Why not let her have a little time to relax this evening? Adams tone turned cold.
Alfred, make the call.
Noticing the sharp glare, Alfred quickly pulled out his phone.
Right away! Adam crossed his arms, his forehead throbbing with anger.
This household was outrageonsno one listened to him anymore.
And it was all Celines fault she had been completely spoiled by Mary.
Half an hour later, Celine rushed over Grandma! Is Grandma alright? asked Celine anxiously as she opened the door.
However, to her surprise, the living room was completely silent and pitch black Why arent the lights on? Celine reached out to find the wall light Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her hard.
Celine gasped and found herself being pulled into a warm, firm chest.
The man wrapped his arms around her and forcefully pushed her against the wall.
Despite the darkness, Celine knew who it was.
After all, there was only one person who dared to act so rudely in Alvarez Residence, Trying to push him away, Coline esked, What are you doing, Adam? Adam let out a low, cold laugh Adam? Didnt you say you dont know me? Wasnt I just a stranger to you? After adjusting to the darkness, Celine could make out his sharp, gloomy expression under the faint moonlight streaming through the floortoceiling windows beside them.
Feeling confused, Celine asked, Adam, are you seriously mad because I said I didnt know you? Only a handful of people in your circle even know about our marriage.
What was I supposed to do? Announce it and make you look like a jerk while Carly is branded the mistress? Furious at her sharp words, Adam grabbed her chin.
How noble of you.
Are you sure youre not denying it because youve already lined up your next target? Next target? What are you talking about? Nathan Lynch! Adams shout startled Celine.
She finally realized he had misunderstood her relationship with Nathan However, instead of explaining, she simply smiled.
Adam, we agreed to stay out of each others personal lives.
I didnt say a word about you dancing Intimately with Carly at the club, so you should stay out of my business with Nathan Celine tried to push past him, but Adams hand clamped down on her shoulder, pinning her back against the wall.
The impact sent a dull ache through her shoulder, making ber gaze turn icy.
Adam, let me make this clearI was nice to you because I had a crush on you.
But that doesnt give you the right to treat me however you please.
Im over you, Adam!
