Chapter 762
Fiona hesitated. “But-“” “alright, Mom and Dad, I’m exhausted. I’m going to my room to get some rest. I need to be well-prepared for the perfect date with Adam tomorrow.” With that, Carly turned and walked toward her room. Fiona’s expression tensed up. “What is Adam playing at? He came to the Hampton residence not long ago to call off the engagement, and now he’s involved with Carly again. What’s his game?” “I’m calling Adam!” Nigel declared.
He pulled out his phone and dialed Adam’s number. On the other end, the melodic ringtone echoed briefly before the call connected. Adam’s deep, magnetic voice came through clearly. “Hello, Mr. Hampton. How are you?” Nigel’s voice was sharp and cutting. “Adam, what exactly are you trying to do?” “I’m not sure what you mean, Mr.
Hampton.” “Carly just came home and told us you invited her to dinner tomorrow.” “That’s correct.” “Adam, you came to our house to end the engagement, saying —- you wanted to be with Celine. We respected that decision. But now, you’re getting involved with Carly again, bouncing between two women. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you think this is fair to Celine?” Fiona was equally upset. “Mr. Alvarez, Celine is a wonderful young woman.
If you truly care about her, be with her wholeheartedly. Stop leading Carly on. This isn’t fair to any of you.” Adam remained silent, listening to their accusations. “Mr. Hampton, do you know what kind of person Anne is?” he suddenly asked. Nigel was taken aback. “Why are you bringing up Anne?” “Mr. Hampton, I can’t explain it all in a few words. But I have my reasons. Come tomorrow, and you’ll understand the truth. With that, Adam ended the call. Fiona turned to Nigel. “What does Mr.
Alvarez mean by that?” “We’ll find out tomorrow.” Carly had a refreshing sleep and woke up early to get ready. It had been a while since she and Adam had gone on a date, and she was determined to look her best, hoping to outshine Celine. She slipped into a couture dress and spun in front of the mirror, pleased with how it looked on her. —- After a moment of admiration , she picked up her phone and dialed Adam’s number. The melodic ringtone echoed through, but no one answered.
Adam wasn’t picking up. Why wasn’t he answering? Had he changed his mind? Panic immediately gripped Carly, though she couldn’t bring herself to believe that Adam would back out. Determined, she quickly dialed his number several more times. Just as she was about to give up, the phone finally connected. Adam’s calm, laid-back voice came through the line. “Hello, Carly.” The sound of his voice immediately eased her racing heart.” Adam, I’ve called you so many times! Why didn’t you answer?
I was so worried!” Adam chuckled. “Carly, why are you so anxious?” “Adam, you promised we’d have dinner today. I was afraid you’d cancel on me.” “Not at all. I haven’t forgotten our dinner plans.” “Then come pick me up! I’m all set.” “I’m at the office for a meeting right now. Carly, you can go ahead first.”
