Chapter 744
Celine immediately took out her phone and dialed Adam’s number.
The call connected quickly, and Adam’s deep voice came through. “Hello.”
“Adam, what are you doing? Why did you take Bella?” Celine demanded.
“Celine, come to my office. I’m waiting for you here,” Adam said firmly.
“I…” Celine hesitated, wanting to refuse.
It was already late, and the last time she had gone to his office, things almost got out of hand. She didn’t want to repeat that, especially not tonight.
However, Adam didn’t give her a chance to refuse. “Celine, Bella is here. If you don’t come tonight, you won’t be able to see her again.”
Celine’s expression changed. “Adam, what do you mean? What do you mean I won’t see Bella again? Bella is my daughter! What are you trying to do?”
“Is Bella just your daughter, Celine?” Adam questioned.
Celine froze, quickly realizing what he meant. She gripped her phone tighter. “Adam, what do you mean by that?”
“What do you think I mean? Celine, are you feeling guilty?” he challenged.
“I’m not guilty! What exactly are you implying?” she shot back.
“Celine, is Bella just your daughter? Who’s her father?” Adam pressed.
“Adam, you—” she started but was cut off.
“I’m waiting for you in the office,” he stated coldly.
Adam clearly wasn’t interested in discussing it any further and hung up the phone.
Celine was left speechless. Although she didn’t want to go to Adam’s office, she had to. She felt that Adam had already figured out Bella’s true parentage.
She quickly got dressed and headed for Alvarez Group.
Half an hour later, Celine arrived at Alvarez Group’s CEO’s office. She pushed open the door and strode inside.
“Adam, where’s Bella?” she asked urgently. Adam was sitting in his office chair, waiting for her. “Celine, you’re here,” he said calmly. “Where’s Bella? I need to see her!” she insisted. Adam grabbed the remote and opened the curtains in the lounge.
Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, Celine saw Bella curled up my bed, already fast asleep.
Celine’s anxious heart finally calmed down though she felt a pang of jealousy she hadn’t realized Bella was so comfortable with Adam. Adam stood up and walked toward her. “Bella is fine. She’s already asleep,” he reassured her custody she asked.
