Adam ryped a message, âBack on campus yet?â
He was asking if Celine had returned to Yorhine University, After all, Randall had driven her back that night. Just the thought of her getting into another manâs car made him press his lips together.
But in the next second, he froze. The WhatsApp message hadnât even gone through. A red exclamation appeared next to it, followed by a cold system notification are not friends with this person. Please add them as a friend to start chatting.â
Adam fell silent.
His handsome face darkened as realization hit him. Celine had already blocked him. In fact, she had blocked him the day they got divorced.
It was only now that the reality sunk in, they were divorced. It was over between them.
She had loved him once, passionately and fiercely, but that was in the past. She didnât love him anymore âAdam, 1 donât love you anymore.
Her drifted back to him, soft but resolute, echoing in his mind. She had told him that herself on the day they ended things Adam opened the chat with âCâ Celineâs new WhatsApp account. Without hesitation, he sent her a friend request.
There was no response.
Celine didnât add him back.
Just then, his phone began to ring Carlyâs name lit up the screen. She was calling him.
Adam didnât answer. A bitter smirk curled at the corner of his mouth, dripping with selfâmockery.
12 At Tate Manor, Adam still hadnât answered his phone.
Carly let out a sharp scream, and in a sudden tit rage, she began smashing the vases in the room.
Shards of glass flew in all directions, scattering across the floor like tiny jagged stars.
Hearing the commotion, Hayden and Lucy rushed in. Lucy immediately moved restrain Carly, panic in her voice. âCarly, what are you doing? The floorâs covered in shards! Youâll hurt yourself!â
Bur Carly shoved Lucy away with a violent push, her fury spilling over.
âThis is all your fault! Why did you have to give birth to Celine? Why does Celine have be the genius girl? Look at how attitude toward her has completely Lucy stumbled back, swallowing the sharp sting of her daughterâs words. No one in the world loved Carly more then she did, but at this moment, Lucy felt utterly helpless Hayden quickly stepped in, his tone firm yet soothing. âCarly, calm down. Your heart canât take it.â
âDad, I just canât stand it! Celineâs just some girl from the countryside! She dropped out of school when she was 16! So why? Why is she suddenly this genius girl? Iâm so scared, Dad âIâm scared Adamâs going to fall in love with her. Mrs. Alvarez Senior doesnât like me. Iâve already offended Allie. Dad, when will I finally get to marry Adam?
Carly couldnât handle what had happened that . Her delicate, beautiful face was twisted with anger and frustration, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Haydenâs heart ached for her as he gently pulled her into his arms. âCarly, donât worry. Weâll figuro something out. You will marry Mr. Alvarezâ
Once Carly had gone upstairs to her room and fallen asleep, Hayden returned to the living room.
The housekeepers had already cleaned up the mess of broken vases. He sank into the couch, alone with his thoughts.
The television was on, tuned to a financial news program. The host alternated between languages as he reported.
Sources confirm that Nigel Hampton, the legendary business mogul, returned to the Capitol yesterday and was spotted at the Royal Cemetery.
âOver the years, Mr. Hampton has been searching for his daughter, the cherished heiress to his vast fortune, who was lost to him as a child. To this day, her whereabouts remain undown.â
The screen cut to footage of the Royal Cemetery shrouded in gloom on a rainy day. A tall, Imposing figure stood silently in front of a gravestone.
Behind him, an assistant held a black sunbrella over his head, the rain dripping steadily from its edge and further obscuring the manâs face.
The melancholic scene lent him an air of profound mystery-
Hayden leaned forward and turned off the television.
at that moment, Lucy entered d the room. Hayden glanced up. âIs asleep?â he asked.
AE Lucy nodded, her expression heavy with worry. âShe cried herself to sleep just now. Honey Carlyâs whole heart is set on marrying Mr. Alvarez. Canât you just help her make it happen?â
