Chapter 54
Everyone was so caught up in the excitement that they didn’t notice what was happening with Adam.
Adam ignored Carly and got up to leave
Carly quickly chased after him. “Adam, wait for me!
The game ended. Celine, Nathan, and Robin decided to leave the club
Nathan looked at celme with a smile, “celine, thank you for earlier,”
Celme shook her head. Nathan hadn’t actually kissed her earlier. Instead, he only cupped her face and kissed his own fingers.
But to everyone else, it appeared as a genuine kiss.
Celine chuckled. “Mr. Lynch, I guess that repays my debt for the medicinal oil, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Tracy’s voice rang out from behind. “Mr. Lynch, please wait.”
Celine turned around to see Tracy approaching
Nathan glanced at her. “Ms. Tracy, what can I do for you?
Tracy walked up to him. “Mr. Lynch, don’t let Celine fool you. I’m here to expose her true colors!
Celine’s expression turned cold. She knew Tracy wouldn’t be able to hold back.
Nathan questioned, “Ms. Tracy, what are you trying to say?
Do you know who Mrs. Alvarez is? It’s Cline!”
Nathan was stunned as he looked at Celine.
Tracy continued, “Over three years ago, Mr. Alvarez ended up in a coma due to a car accident. That’s when Celine, who had just returned from the countryside, took the opportunity to marry him. She’s the ugly duckling that Mr. Alvarez has never gotten intimate with!
She asked, “Mr. Lynch, are you seriously considering taking on the woman your good friend has discarded?”
At that moment, Adam and Carly also walked over.
When Celine glanced at Adam, she noticed the white bandage wrapped around his right hand. She wondered why he had gotten injured. After all, his hand had been fine in the
men’s restroom earlier.
Carly turned to Nathan. “Mr. Lynch, Tracy is right.Celine is Adam’s wife! Don’t let yourself be her rebound!”
Under the dim lighting, Adam’s striking features were partially obscured. He looked at Celine with a hint of mockery.
Celine understood Adam’s unspoken message. When they were at Alvarez Residence the other night, he had told her that Nathan wasn’t one to be someone’s rebound.
She assumed Adam was enjoying her humiliation as much as Carly and Tracy did. They were expecting Nathan to reject her.
Nathan looked intently at Celine. “Celine, Is this true?”
Celine replied honestly, “Yes”
יו
Tracy exclaimed excitedly. “See, Mr. Lynch? She admitted ir”
Carly scoffed. “Could she dare denyin?”
Nathan smiled faintly. “Actually, I already suspected as much.”
His response caught Carly and Tracy off guard.
He then turned to Adam and said, “Adam, 1 had already guessed the nature of your relationship with Celine, so now I’m at ease.”
Carly and Tracy didn’t understand what Nathan was at ease about.
They felt that something was off. Celine had already stolen the spotlight, thanks to Nathan. They didn’t think she deserved his attention and were determined to end this.
To them, the countryside was where Celine rightfully belonged. They were convinced that once Nathan found out Celine was Adam’s discarded wife, he would never pursue her They were waiting to watch Celine’s downfall
However, things weren’t unfolding as they hoped.
“Adam, I know the one you like is Carly. Since you’re not interested in celine, does that mean I can officially start pursuing her now?”
With that, Nathan took Celine’s hand, holding it gently. He declared, “Adan, I like Celine, and want to be with her.”
