Chapter 243
It was her. It was Celine.
ine. But he had mistaken someone else for her.
The thought of all the coldness and humiliation he had shown Celine made him want to slap himself.
That day in the Infirmary, he had pinned her down on the bed while she cried and told him she hated him. She had looked so heartbroken
Adam found himself despicable. Every muscle in his body tensed. His handsome face was dark and brooding, but soon, his thin lips curled into a smile.
After returning to the apartment, Robin had a good night’s sleep. The next day, Celine and Hailey took her out shopping.
The three of them strolled into the mall and entered an accessory store. Celine’s eyes landed on a bunch of hair clips. They were girly and candy–colored, with pink strawberries, green watermelons, and yellow lemons. Each one was bright and cheerful.
“Celine, these clips suit you so well. You should get the yellow one,” Hailey suggested.
“I think the pink one looks good too,” Robin chimed in.
Celine was about to choose when a familiar voice rang out. “Celine, what a coincidence. You’re out shopping too?”
Celine looked up and saw Nikld. She had brought her assistant along for a shopping trip.
Hailey frowned. “Why do we keep running into her? She’s like a stalker.”
As a celebrity, Nikki was impeccably dressed, even for a casual outing. Her assistant struggled with several luxury brand shopping bags, trailing behind her like a pack mule
Nakki took off her sunglasses. She walked up to Celine and said, “Celine, I have some good news for you.”
“Wow! Did you win an award for Best Actress?” Robin exclaimed.
Nikki’s face darkened. “You…”
But she quickly calmed down. Suddenly, she pressed a hand to her chest and bent over, gagging as though she was about to throw up.
Hailey frowned. “Nikka, what are you trying to pull this time?”
Nikki stopped gagging and looked at Celine. “Celine, I haven’t been feeling well lately. I’m always tired and nauseous. You studied medicine, right? Can you check my pulse and tell me what’s wrong?”
Robin was about to speak, but Celine stopped her. “Fine, I’ll check for you.”
Celine reached out and placed her hand on Nikki’s wrist. Soon, her touch stilled, and she looked up at Nikki.
Excitement flickered in Nikki’s eyes. “Celine, what’s wrong with me?
Celine withdrew her hand, her gaze calm and expression unreadable. “You’re pregnant”
What? Hailey and Robin practically jumped. Both of them were stunned. “Nikki, you’re pregnant? Whose baby is it?”
Nikki looked at Celine and smiled. “Celine, that night when Mr. Alvarez and I were together, he didn’t use any protection. I’m pregnant with his child.” Nikki was pregnant with Adam’s child.
When Nikki bent over and gagged earlier, Celine had already guessed she might be pregnant, but hearing it confirmed made her delicate fingers curl involuntarily.
Hailey and Robin exchanged shocked glances, disbelief in their eyes.
Just then, a deep, magnetic voice rang out. “What are you all doing?”
Celine looked up and saw a man’s tall, imposing figure. Adam had arrived.
Nikki’s eyes sparkled with excitement as if she couldn’t wait to share the news with him. She quickly moved to his side. “Mr. Alvarez, I have something you’ll want to hear.”
