What did he just si
Celine’s pupils constricted. He had gotten Nikki pregnant, and yet he had the audacity to say something like that to her.
Her shame and anger boiled over as she spat out, “You’re shameless!”
Adam
lowered his gaze, his sharp features unreadable as he studied her. Her long, pure black hair spread messily over the couch, framing her pale face. Her clear eyes, bright and unwavering, stared up at him with indignation. She looked exactly like the woman from his dreams.
At that moment, everything came rushing back
A faint smirk tugged at Adam’s lips, “Why are you calling me shameless? What exactly did I do to deserve that? Be specific.”
Despite her sharp tongue, her scolding never went beyond simple words like “horrible” and “shameless“. She sounded more innocent than scornful.
Celine glared at him. “Why are you here? If you dare to bother me again, I’ll tell Nildi. She’s pregnant with your child and can’t handle stress, Don’t push
Ar the mention of Nikki, Adam’s eyes gleamed with an icy sharpness. She had dared to set her sights on him, and she would regret it by tomorrow.
“Celine, are you angry? Is it because of Nikki? Because she’s pregnant?”
Celine’s face was blotchy, and she was overwhelmed with emotions. Fury, shame, and sorrow surged through her all at once. She sat upright and, in a sudden burst of rage, bit down on his Adam’s apple.
It was a sensitive and vulnerable spot. Adam felt the sharp sting, and the edges of his eyes turned red with pain. He sat up straighter and lifted Celine into his arms, placing her gently on his lap.
He wore a crisp white shirt and black tailored trousers, a classic look that accentuated his dignified charm. Meanwhile, Celine was dressed in a white knit sweater paired with a pleated black skirt, the very picture of an innocent college student
The sight of the sophisticated

holding a beautiful, youthful girl in his arms felt like a scene straight out of a movie
A maid entered the room, holding a tray of coffee. “Mr. Alvarez…“.
She froze at the scene before her.
The maids in Lux Garden were older and more experienced, but even they would blush at the intimate sight before them. She quickly retreated to the kitchen, averting her gaze
Adam’s long fingers combed through Celine’s silky hair as he cradled the back of her head. She was still biting him and refused to let go. His voice dropped into a husky murmur “Celine, I’m sorry.”
His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, “I’m sorry.”
Celine froze and released him in surprise. A delicate imprint of her teeth marred his throat. She really had a habit of biting people. His body bore several marks from teeth.
“I don’t accept your apology!” Celine pushed him away and stood up.
But Adam’s strong arm wrapped around her again, pulling her back onto his lap. He pressed his face into her fragrant hair and repeated in a low, gravelly voice, “Celine, I’m sorry.”
Celine was bewildered. Was this some kind of twisted game where he hurt her one moment and tried to comfort her the next? She didn’t need his gestures of guilt
“Let me go! Don’t touch me! Go find Nikki!” Celine struggled, trying to pry his hands off her.
Adam’s lips tightened. “There’s nothing going on between me and her.”
He wanted to explain, but before he could finish, a loud knock sounded at the d
door.
“Celine! Let Celine out! Hailey and Robin’s voices echoed from outside.
Adam frowned in frustration
Taking advantage of the distraction, Celine showed him away with all her strength and bolted toward the door.
“Celine! Are you okay? What did Mr. Alvarez do to you?” Hailey and Robin pulled her into their protective grasp.
