Chapter 97
97
Celine suddenly erupted in a fit of giggles, her eyes sparkling beneath the blanket. She looked at him and asked, “Should I say yes or no?” Her coquettish words were just the right amount of allure. It was enchanting and attractive; Adam was captivated. He leaned in and kissed her again.
In the master bedroom of Tate Manor the next day, Larry lay in Hayden’s arms, satisfied. She wrapped her arms around Hayden’s neck and complained playfully, “You’ve got me aching.” Hayden pinched her chin and smirked, “Satisfied now?” Lucy interjected flirtatiously.
Gely had given Hayden a call, and Hayden came home immediately. “Larry,” he asked Lucy, who was nestled in his arms, “has Larry really taken Celine away?”
“Yes. The color has finally faded. Our Carly is going to become Mrs. Alvarez very soon. You’re about to be the father-in-law of the richest man in Mercity, honey!” Hayden exclaimed, elated. “You’ve done well this time, Lucy dear.”
Lucy was in bliss. An entire night had passed; Celine was surely becoming Larry’s plaything by now. No one would disrupt their happiness from this point onward. She looked happily at Hayden, scoffing coldly in her heart; Hayden would never know whose daughter Celine truly was.
As Hayden left their room, he saw Carly in the living room. She was seated on the couch, toying with her phone, a frown etched on her face.
“What’s wrong, Carly?”
“I’m trying to get a hold of Adam, but he hasn’t answered my calls since last night. He would never do this before.” Her woman’s intuition told Carly that Adam had changed.
Lucy remained unbothered. “Mr. Alvarez is a busy man, Carly. You have to be understanding. You can’t cling to him so tightly. Celine has already been taken away by Larry, so what are you still worried about?”
After hearing that, Carly smiled once more. She held Lucy’s hand and said playfully, “Celine has finally disappeared. You’re the best, Mom!” Then, Carly looked at Hayden and added, “Fire that female secretary quickly, Dad. You can only treat Mom well from now on.”
Hayden sat beside Carly, locking lovingly onto her smiling face. He then agreed tenderly, “Okay, I’ll listen to everything you say, Carly.” Carly curled her lips haughtily, resembling a perfect spoiled brat.
Suddenly, a helper rushed in and said, “There’s someone outside wanting to meet with you, Mrs. Tate.”
Lucy lifted her head. “Who?”
“Help! Mrs. Tate!” Larry’s voice rang out just as he barged in. The injuries on his body were pronounced, and his face was ashen with pain. He collapsed onto the carpeted ground as he entered the living room, looking more beaten than ever.
Larry, Carly, and Hayden jumped to their feet in shock, staring at Larry, flabbergasted. “Why are you here? Didn’t you just take Celine away yesterday? Why did you come back?” Hayden questioned.
“I did leave with Celine, Mr. and Mrs. Tate. However, Mr. Alvarez has closed off all the exits on land. He came and rescued Celine!”
