Chapter 254
“Adam, did you forget your promises? You said you were done with Celine, would divorce her soon, and wouldn’t sleep with her again. Have
forgotten everything you’ve said?” asked Carly.
The women’s dormitory was quiet, allowing Carly’s emotional voice to be heard clearly by Celine. As Celine poured a glass of water and took a sip, she found it oddly bitter.
Adam remained silent and frowned.
“Adam, I miss you a lot. I really want to see you now. Please come and stay with me right away.”
Adam walked out with the phone in hand. Celine looked back, assuming he was likely heading to meet Carly.
She almost forgot that Nikki was a brief fling, while Carly was the one he truly loved. With just a single phone call or a word, Carly could summon him
back
What happened between them that night hadn’t changed their relationship. A bittersweet smile crossed her face.
Adam stepped into the corridor, his brow furrowed as he remarked, “Carly, I can’t leave right now.”
Carly was furious. “Why? Are you really going to stay with Celine? Let me be clear. You must decide between me and her. If you don’t show up tonight, you’ll definitely regret it!”
With that, Carly abruptly ended the call, leaving Adam with his thin lips pressed into a sharp, cold line.
He clutched the phone, casting a glance back at Celine’s women’s dormitory. In the past, he would have rushed to find Carly without a second thought,
but now he hesitated.
Just then, Adam’s phone chimed with a “ding” as a new Instagram friend request came through. It was from Robin. Without hesitation, Adam tapped to accept the request
Robin promptly shared a screenshot of her chat history with Celine
Celine had said, “Robin, my friend slept with her husband for the first time, but he ignored her afterward. Why?
Following that night, Celine felt allenated by Adam and turned to her best friend for support. At that moment, Robin was still oblivious to the situation. “Probably your friend couldn’t satisfy her husband in bed, and after just one encounter, he grew weary of her.”
Robin finally grasped the situation and promptly sent the screenshot to Adam. Despite her desire to express a multitude of thoughts, she ultimately condensed her feelings into a sentence.
“Celine endures a lot of grievances just because she loves you.”
After reading the text, Adam’s heart melted completely. During the time when he confused Nikki for her, he couldn’t fathom the tumultuous mental journey she had endured.
Yet, she didn’t whine at all. Unlike Carly, who would cry and call him when she felt wronged, Celine chose to remain silent. He recalled her teary, delicate eyes, cold and solitary. Loving him seemed to bring her endless pain.
In the women’s dormitory, Celine stood alone for an extended period, staring down vacantly. She appeared quiet and isolated in the gentle glow of the light
Suddenly, the phone on her bed rang. She snapped back to reality and turned around, holding her glass.
In an instant, she collided with a solid wall of muscle. It was Adam. He had returned, standing right behind her.
As Celine’s eyes met his, her mind went completely blank. “Why are you back?”
She couldn’t help but question his return as she had assumed he had left to be with Carly.
