Chapter 439
Celine sat up. “Troy, Finline The baby and Late both line”
she would nev let anything happen to bet child. The one reason she had any complications was because of the stress from the kidnapping
Ivory studied her carefully. “Vrline, won’te still carrying Adam’s child. Are you really not going to tell him?
She coiled her lips into a sett mocking smile. “You saw it yourselt, Perry. Adam had no hesitation when choosing between me and Carly. He chose her without a second thought. Telline his won’t change anything. It’s better it he never knows. I can raise this baby on my own just fine”
Perry let out a sigh. He didn’t push the issue, but he knews that no matter what Celine sald, Adam’s abandonment of her today had deeply hurt her.
At that moment, Rebin and Haider rushed in. Both of them immediately ran over and placed their hands on Celine’s stomach
“Orline” How’s the baby? Is everything okay?” they asked.
Delme smiled. “Eventhing’s tine“.
Bobin scowled. “That bastard, Adual is he insane? He left his own child behind and picked that snake Carly instead? Ugh, kid, when you grow up, don’t bother acknowledging that deadbeat dad. Let him stay tied to Carly forever!”
Haley browned. “Adam went too far this time. Nope, I’m calling him right now to curse him out.”
Celine quickly stopped her “Hailey, Robin, forget it. The one who’s loved can always act recklessly, I’m just the one who isn’t loved. If you call him and yell at him, it’ll only make me look pathetic
Hailer and Robin exchanged glances, then reluctantly dropped it.
“Fine, Celine, that man isn’t worth it. The baby has two amazing godmothers. We’ll spoil this little one rotten.”
Celine nodded and gently stroked her still–flat stomach. “Exactly. We don’t need that father anyway”
With her best friends by her side, Celine visibly relaxed, and she felt her mood lift
That was what real friendship was for
Perry smirked. “Celine, I had my people look into that scarred man. Guess what we found?”
Celine’s clear, sharp eyes tumed to him. “I don’t know who he is, but I do know one thing–Carly hired him.”
Perry raised abrow. “How did you figure that out?”
Celine let out a cold laugh. “I know Carly too well. If she were truly kidnapped, she would’ve been terrified But when we were held together, she wasn’t afraid at all. If anything, she looked like she was enjoying the show.
“Then, when the scarred man forced Adam to choose between us, it only confirmed my suspicions”
Perry nodded. “You’re absolutely right. The scarred man was hired by Carly for a hefty price. This whole kidnapping? Carly staged it herself”
Celine’s lips curled into a smirk. “Well, now that her act is over, it’s my turn to take the stage. Perry, get in touch with Adam’s people. Tell them I couldn’t make it to the gala. But tomorrow, I’ll be paying Carly a visit at the hospital”
Perrychuckled. “Oh, this is going to be fun.”
Yes. Tomorrow was going to be a show worth watching.
Perry hesitated for a moment before adding, “By the way, Celine, Adam’s still looking for you. Do you want to
Robin cut in immediately. “Hell no! What’s the point of Adam looking for her now? He made his choice already!”
Hailey crossed her arms. “Exactly! Let him run around like a lost poppy. He doesn’t deserve a response.”
Adam stepped into the hospital room
Carly had been clinging to him non–stop, whining about her heart hurting, making sure he stayed by her side every second.
Just then, Leo entered the room. “Mr. Alvarez, we still haven’t found Ms. Celine. There’s been absolutely no movement on her end.”
Adam frownind, Where the hell had she gone!
Carly scoffed. Adam, Celine knows you’re looking for her. She’s just doing this on purpose, playing hard to get. What a scheming littlebrat
Sonla added dismissively, “Mr. Alwater, stop worrying about Celine. She’s not going to die.”
Leo glanced at the cold–hearted Tate family members in the room. Honestly, he was starting to doubt whether Celine was really their biological relative. Leo turned back to Adam. “Mr. Alvarez, I do have one piece of good news“
