Chapter 289
Celine and Hailey curled up under the same blanket. They didn’t sleep, but instead continued chatting.
Hailey asked, “Celine, have you ever met a man like that?”
Celine asked, “Like what?”
A handsome face appeared in Halley’s mind. “The type that’s cool and aloof. He’s really good at fighting, which makes me a bit nervous…
Celine glanced at the black baseball jacket hanging on the clothes rack. Hailey had been wearing it initially, but after she had taken it off she had carefully hung it there. It was easy to tell that it belonged to the man who had saved her.
about?
Celine smiled. “Is it Declan that you’re talking ab
Hailey nodded. “That’s him.”
Celine winked flirtatiously. “He saved you, so you’re planning on rewarding him with your hand in marriage?”
Halley blushed. “Celine, I’m not going to talk about that anymore.”
Celine giggled, but Hailey quickly put a hand over Celine’s mouth. “Celine, you aren’t allowed to laugh about this.”
Adam lay on the bed. The rain pattered against the window from the outside, while Hailey and Celine lay on the inside. Their soft voices gossiping and giggling with each other brought a tender warmth to the small and simple room.
Adam smiled.
Hailey complained, “Celine, you can’t make fun of me. I don’t know who I can talk to about some things, so as my cousin sister–in–law, you’re the only one I can talk to.”
In Hailey’s eyes, Celine wasn’t just her cousin sister–in–law, but also her best friend.
Celine paused. “What cousin sister–in–law?”
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. She had forgotten that Celine didn’t know about her relationship with Adam.
Celine remembered that Hailey had mentioned a cousin brother before. “Hailey, are you talking about that bastard cousin brother of yours?”
The bastard cousin brother in question, also known as Adam, turned to shoot a deadly glare at Halley. Was she talking bad about him behind his back again?

Those words were meant for Adam’s ears.
Adam remained expressionless. Carly had already complained to him about this before, that Hailey didn’t want to be her friend at all. Hailey had invited Carly over to the Lambert residence the other day just to get some payback for Celine.
Hailey had used her actions to prove that there was only one person that she would accept as her cousin sister–in–law, and that person was Celine.
Hailey wouldn’t interfere regardless of who Adam married, but she had chosen her cousin sister–in–law anyway.
What could Adam say to that?
Celine didn’t dive deeper into the topic of Halley’s cousin. After all, that had nothing to do with her. She thought about Declan instead. She had seen him before, and he had made quite an impression on her.
“Hailey, do you know what Declan is like?”
“What?”
Celine said quietly, “Declan is like a wild horse. He is in a different world from you.
Hailey thought about it for a moment, but she quickly felt sleepy. She tugged at Celine’s sleeve. “No matter what, I need to dry clean his jacket and return in to him, then I want to thank him face to face, Celine, I’m sleepy, let’s go to sleep.”

On the other hand, Adam was wide awake. The two women were chatting beside him, hence he hadn’t fallen asleep.
He turned to look at Celine. Hall of her face was buried in the blanket as she slept soundly. Adam reached out and pulled the blanket away from Celine’s log.

Before this, Adam hadn’t understood why Celine and Hailey had such a good relationship. He even had the idea of having Carly nurture a good relationship with Hailey as well. But now, he understood.
