Celine extended her hand , eager to caress Adams handsome face .

However , before her slender fingers could make contact , he seized her hand and slowly opened his sleepy eyes .

He kissed her petite hand before looking up at her and asking , Youre up ? His voice was both enchanting and husky immediately after waking .

He cast his striking gaze downward , looking at her with undeniable tenderness .

Celines face was a bit flushed .

Its getting late .

Time to get up .

Adam cradled her delicate form in his arms .

Stay with me and sleep for a little while more .

He definitely needed more rest , but Celine sat up and insisted , No.

This is the womens dormitory .

Everyone will wake up soon and find out that youre here .

You need to leave now Adam gazed up , his striking eyebrows and captivating eyes glimmering with mischief as he teased , We slept together last night , yet you pushed me away this morning , Celine , why do you have to be so pragmatic ? She was rendered speechless .

With a fierce glare , she threw off the quilt and moved around him to get out of bed .

However , as soon as she stood up , legs turned to jelly .

, her Ah ! she shouted .

Just before she could hit the ground , a strong arm swooped in , wrapping around her slender waist and pulling her back up .

Adam lifted her .

Are you alright ? How could she possibly be alright ? Celine tightened her fist and struck him fiercely in the chest .

Celine had just awakened , her unadorned face flushed with a rosy glow .

Among the vibrant hairpins still in her hair , only a yellow one was awkwardly positioned .

She was blaming him coquerishly .

Adam chuckled softly as if he was pleased by her playful gesture .

He had always been drawn to her fresh , innocent , and feminine charm .

Laying her gently on the bed , he leaned over her with a smirk Feeling energetic ? Lets do some morning exercises then .

He then lowered his head and kissed her .

Celine avoided his so called morning exercises .

Adam , dont They w were frolicking on the bed .

The atmosphere was thick with sweetness .

It was undoubtedly the scent of love enveloping them .

At that moment , Adams hand slipped beneath her pillow , and his fingertips unexpectedly brushed against something solid .

underneath your pillow ? e asked , Whats that It was the emerald necklace .

It was the emerald necklace he gave her in the cave that year .

She replied , You gifted it to me .

Yeah Celine wanted to take out the emerald necklace from under the pillow to show him .

She had often wondered if he still remembered her , as it seemed he had forgotten Just as Celine reached for the emerald necklace , a melodious phone ringtone unexpectedly sounded .

Someone was calling him .

Adam answered the phone to Lucys panicked voice .

Hello , Mr.

Alvarez Carly has taken her own life by cutting her wrists .

Upon hearing the news , Celine paused abruptly as she was in the midst of retrieving the emerald necklace .

In that instant , the weight of his presence lifted from her , and she felt the immediate absence of his warmth .

Adan rose from the bed , his striking features transforming into a mask of tension and sharpness .

Ill be there shortly .
