Chapter 79

When the word

worn slipped from his lips, Adam felt a surge of relief that no one else had witnessed the moment. He had a reputation to maintain, after all. He’d never done

anything so absurd in his life!

Thankfully, his soothing words seemed to calm Celine. She nestled into his embrace. She clutched tightly around his waist and drifted back to sleep

Adam couldn’t help but feel she was truly clingy. Lowering his gaze, he noticed she wasn’t crying anymore. But her long lashes still glistened with moisture, which was truly endearing

Hechuckled softly. “I’m not your mom–I’m your dad. Come on, Celine, call me Dad”

But Celine was sleeping soundly and offered no response. Adam wrapped his arm around her shoulder and fell asleep.

The next day, Celine opened her eyes.

Outside, the morning light was brilliant, and the warm sunlight had already filled the room. It was the early morning of the second day.

Celine wanted to get up. But upon moving, she sensed something was amiss. A strong and warm arm was holding her delicate shoulders, and she was sleeping in someone else’s

She paused for a second before looking up and finding Adam’s handsome face next to her.

Adam hadn’t slept on the couch last night. Instead, he had slept in the bed. She was sleeping in his arms.

What was going on? Why was he sleeping here?

Adam was still asleep She relaxed her body slowly.

Unlike the foul, repulsive scent that lingered on Larry, Adam’s scent was clean, warm, and luxurious. He smelled so good that it would make any woman covet him, yearning for his body

He was clean–shaven, but her fingers brushed against a layer of tiny stubble. The roughness pricked her fingers, a sharp, tingling sensation,

Just then, Adam stirred, his eyes slowly opening. He was awake,

Celine quickly pulled her hand back, like a child caught doing something wrong

She swiftly got out of his arms and sat up. She then immediately confronted him, “Adam, why are you in my bed?”

Adam had just woken up, his black eyes still heavy with sleep. He looked at her with amusement. “Celine, don’t you remember what happened last night?”

She really didn’t remember. She recalled taking a shower and going to bed early.

“What happened last night?” Celine asked, still confused.

“You insisted on sleeping with me and even called me “Uncle.“” Adam replied with a teasing smile.

What?

Celine’s clear eyes widened in shock as she stared at him. “You’re lying!”

She grabbed a pillow and threw it at his face, trying to shut him up. She knew she wouldn’t do so.

But Adam easily turned his head, dodging it. He then reached out, grabbed her slender wrist, and yanked her toward him. Celine’s delicate body landed directly on his chest.

He raised an eyebrow, his mature charmevident as he smirked. “Call me uncle.”

Celine’s small face instantly turned bright red. What kind of twisted humor was this?

She shot him an angry glare, pashed him away, and quickly tried to get up

But before she could, a strong pull yanked her back toward him. Her hair had gotten caught on the button of his pajama

With a sharp tug, she finally snapped the strand of hair and freed herself. She sat upright and replied, “What is it?”

Adam looked at her “Was that intentionall?”

It was only then that Celine realized something was off. To untangle her hair, she had ended up sitting astride him.

Her mind went blank

Adam’s firm, sculpted waist was directly beneath her.

His sharp eyes grew red, a fiery intensity flashing through them. Beneath his silk pajamas, the muscles of his chest and abdomen tightened visibly. His large hands gripped her delicate waist firmly, his voice rough

Celine’s fair checks blushed as her disheveled hair framed her face. Het wide, deer–like eyes betrayed her flustered state

The air between them grew stifling, and the atmosphere was thick with unspoken tension.

Suddenly, a melodic ringtone broke the silence. Adam’s phone lit up on the nightstand.

Adam was still lying on the bed, beneath Celine. He raised a hand to cover the faint petness at the corners of his eyes. The gesture added an unintentional charm to his refined and handsome features
