Chapter 385
Celine gasped and widened her eyes in shock. “What? What are you talking about?”
Tapping her fingers against each other, Hailey admitted, “We kissel”
Only then did Celine feel relieved she thought Hailey and Declan had sex.
“Hailey, do you really like Declan?” Celine asked.
Declan’s handsome and indifferent face flashed past Hailey’s mind, making her heart race. It was an uncontrollable feeling–a feeling of liking someone. Halley nodded shyly. “Yes.”
Celine wanted to say something, but she thought better of it. The feeling of liking someone was only between two people. Everyone else was an outsider. Half an hour later, Celine and Hailey finally arrived at the Lambert residence.
Celine was still in the dark about Hailey’s true identity. The latter wanted to explain everything to Celine, so she informed her family earlier to prevent them from exposing her identity.
“Welcome, Ms. Young and Ms. Tate,” Linda greeted warmly.
Celine and Hailey returned the greeting with a smile.
Just then, James descended the stairs. “Celine, you’re here.” Celine turned her gaze to him and nodded, saying, “Yep. I heard you wanted to talk to me.” “Let’s go to the study,” suggested James. “Okay,” Celine answered.
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out “Hold on.
Celine turned around to find Adam standing by the door. Adam had dropped by as well.
Blinking in surprise, Halley asked, “Mr. Alvarez, why are you here? Are you looking for Celine?”
Adam merely stared at Celine. He had come looking for her because she had not been replying to his texts.
Looking at Adam, Jarnes said, “Adam, you can deal with yours later. I asked to talk to Celine first. Come, Celine. Let’s go upstairs and talk.”
With that, Celine and James went upstairs, leaving Adam waiting in the living room. Hailey approached him, asking, “Why are you looking for Celine?” Pursing his lips, Adam asked, “Did you know Celine and Perry are dating?”
Halley smiled. “Isn’t it normal for Celine to date someone else? You and Carly are getting married soon, anyway. What now? You want Celine to stay single forever after getting divorced?”
Adam could not say anything to refute.
Meanwhile, Celine entered the study first while James went off to take a call. It was Celine’s first time visiting James‘ study. She looked around before taking a seat.
Once the call was done, James rushed to the study. He had many questions to ask Celine
He wanted to know how Celine treated the birthmark on Hailey’s face. He also wanted to know how Celine spotted his mistakes even though she was sleeping in his class
James always thought Celine was full of mysteries. As soon as James entered the study, he froze.
Celine was sitting in his office chair and reading his academic notes. Hearing his footsteps, Celine looked at him. “What’s the matter, Jaines Lambert?”
Hearing Celine use his full name made James‘ legs go weak. He seemed to have realized something. James‘ eyes were wide with shock as he stuttered, “A- Are you Dr. C?”
