Chapter 45
Celine adjusted her shirt and turned around to look at Adam.
He didn’t so much glance or answer the phone beside the table, allowing it to ting over and over again.
It was the first time Adam ignored Carly’s call
Adam rose to his feet and removed his black coat, rewaling his white shirt stained with blood on the back. Celine was reminded of the lash Mary did to his back.
That lash had cut his skin open, but he put on a brave front. The wound had to be treated, or it could risk an infection.
Celine said, “I’ll grab the first aid kit to treat your wound”
Adam tuned and flashed an attractive smile at her. “Weren’t you ignoring me earlier?”
Bending over to take out the first aid kit, celine refuted, “I just don’t want Grandma to worry.”
When Adam sat on the bed, Celine instructed, “Take off your shirt.”
Adam obediently removed his shirt, revealing his exquisite upper body.

Celine’s hand stopped moving. She couldn’t believe Adam was apologizing on behalf of Carly. He truly regarded Carly as one of his own.
“Do you always clean up after Carly’s mess? She’s starting to involve Grandma Who knows what else she will do in the future? Adam, you’ve spoiled her.”
There was a mysterious look in his eyes. He felt that Carly had become like a stranger, “she wasn’t like this in the past.
celine stopped her hands again. “What was she like in the past?”
Adam’s lips slowly curled into a smile when he thought of the younger Carly. “In the past, she was very lovable. I liked her.”
Celine was insulted by his words. She wondered what did that make her. In fact, she had always wanted to ask him that question.
She wanted to know what her past with Adam meant to him. Astara Celine knew, Carly was all Adam cared for.
