It was the same young man who had almost bumped into her on the roadside.

Cecelia was surprised.

Adam closed the large umbrella in his hand, and the paint dripped down from the umbrella’s tip. His voice was icy as he spoke, “What’s going on here?”

The older woman who had just splashed the paint didn’t expect to target the wrong person. Looking at the tall, extraordinary-looking man before her, she knew she had gotten into trouble.

With a stern reprimand, Adam scared her enough to drop the paint. bucket she was holding.

Adam pointed at the woman with an imposing presence and questioned, “Do you know that you are ‘breaking the law?

I’ve captured evidence of your defamation on camera and called the police!”

“Whether it’s stirring up trouble or defamation, it’s enough to get all of you arrested! When the police arrive, you’ll all be taken away!” Coincidentally, at this moment, a police car was passing by with its siren blaring.

Terrified by Adam’s intimidation and the siren, the elderly ladies didn’t think twice and quickly fled, disappearing in no time.

With the crisis resolved, Cecelia didn’t forget to express her gratitude, “Sir, thank you for your help just now! I appreciate it.” “You’re welcome, Miss!”

Adam flashed a handsome smile, shaking off the paint on his umbrella. Cecelia noticed that his black casual pants had also gotten quite messy.

“Oh, your pants got ruined! How about I buy you a new pair as compensation?”

Adam was thinking about finding a good excuse to strike up a conversation with her when he heard her offer, so he went along with it.

“Sure, it’s best if you can accompany me to buy it. After all, you probably don’t know what style I prefer.”

Cecelia agreed “Alright there’s a mall nearby

Just then, Verda’s car pulled up and stopped before Cecelia. “Miss. Linsey, please get in the car.”

When Verda saw Adam, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Miss Linsey, who is he…”

“He helped me just now, but he got his pants dirty. I will take him to the nearby mall to buy a new pair.

Just drive us there.”

Still cautious, Verda glanced at Adam and whispered to Cecelia, “Miss Linsey, but we don’t know him…”

“I’ve met him once before. It’s fine, let’s go!”

And so, Cecelia invited Adam to get into the car, and they went together to the nearby mall.

During the ride, they chatted, and Cecelia learned his name was Adam. They also exchanged contact information.

“I’ve got your contact info, and next time, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Cecelia had a slightly favorable impression of him, probably because he exuded a peculiar yet likable charm!

“Sure thing, Miss!”

Adam remained composed, not wanting to reveal his ulterior motives. He gave her his temporary number in the Cathail Republic to get closer to Cecelia.

Cecelia accompanied him to the men’s clothing section and selected a very nice men’s store according to his style.

“What do you think of the clothes in this store?” Cecelia asked.

“Let’s go inside and take a look!”

It was the first time a woman had accompanied him while shopping for clothes. Adam smirked and entered the store.

“Do you have any preferences for the styles?” Cecelia followed up. “I want to know what styles you girls find appealing. Which ones do you think look good?” Adam turned to her.

Since he asked, and Cecelia was also in a hurry, she took charge and picked out three outfits for him.

She called a salesperson over and said, “Could you please get these three styles in his size for him to try on?”

“Sure, please wait a moment!”

The salesperson quickly brought the pants, and Adam tried each one on and walked out to show Cecelia.

“What do you think?”

Before Cecelia could respond, the salesperson nearby chimed in, “Miss, they all suit your boyfriend very well! He looks very handsome in them!”

Did she mistake him for Cecelia’s boyfriend?

Adam glanced curiously at the salesperson.

“You’ve got it wrong; he’s my friend, not my boyfriend.”

Cecelia corrected and said, “I think they all look good.”

Adam had a rough idea. He returned to the fitting room, changed his clothes, and returned, handing the three pairs of pants to the salesperson. “I’ll take this one! I’ll pay with my card.”

He couldn’t possibly let a woman buy clothes for him. He handed his card to the salesperson, who smiled and said, “Sir, this young lady has already paid for all three pairs. Let me wrap them up for you!”

Adam was astonished and looked at Cecelia. “Miss, you don’t need to get all three! One pair is enough!”

“It’s okay. They all suit you well. Take them.”

Adam could only thank her and accept the gesture, “Alright then. Thank you.”

After leaving the mall, Cecelia bid him farewell, and they agreed to have dinner together another day.

Adam waved to her and watched her go before hurrying to his destination.

He wasn’t sure what had happened just now, but suddenly, his mind. was filled with scenes of cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Where was that place? He had to find the answer!

Following the address and name provided by Remington, Cecelia had Verda fetch the replica of the ‘secret manuscript.

As Cecelia looked through the replica, she realized it looked so authentic; it would be difficult to differentiate it from the original with. the naked eye.

She hoped this replica could be used to exchange for her daughter!

After obtaining the replica, Cecelia called Remington. “Remington, I’ve already gotten the replica from Mr. Tucker. How is everything on your end? Has your father woken up? When will you come back?”

“He hasn’t woken up yet. Do you miss me?”

Remington’s seductive voice echoed in her ear, causing Cecelia’s cheeks to flush. “No. I’m letting you know that I’ll meet with Maggie tomorrow.

“Mm, I know.”

Both of them fell silent, only listening to each other’s breathing, and they both had a lingering strange feeling.

Remington’s handsome face popped into Cecelia’s mind after she hung up the phone.

She realized a dangerous thing: she found herself thinking about him more and more every day.

At the Mysterious Realm headquarters.

After the call with Cecelia, Winger came to inform Remington, “Master Nelson, your father woke up!”

Upon hearing the news, Remington hurried to the hospital.

Samuel Nelson, lying on the hospital bed, had regained consciousness, but he looked around and found the environment unfamiliar. It didn’t seem like the Shark Base. Where was this place?

He instinctively tried to sit up.

“Dad, don’t move!”

Remington rushed in and supported him.

Samuel looked at the young man before him, startled. What had he just called him?

“Who are you……”

“Dad, I’m Remington…”

Remington’s nose tingled as he looked at his father, tears welling up.

“Remington?”

Samuel was shocked his eyes wide with astonishment as he

carefully examined him. This was his son, Remington!

In his memories, Remington was still a little boy, seven or eight years old. But now Remington was an adult, a young man!

“You are Remington… My son, Remington? Tell me it’s not an illusion!”
