Chapter 274 Carly reflected on her actions .
She realized she had been too reserved .
She shouldnt have waited until marriage to let Adam touch her .
He was a straight man , full of youthful vigor , and naturally , he would have desires .
If those needs werent met , hed inevitably be tempted by other Women That was how Celine had taken advantage of the situation , slipping into his life and eventually his bed .
Tonight , Carly had dropped subtle hints of her intentions by saying that she wanted to go to his villa .
He looked at her radiant and delicate face and moved his thin lips .
I have to work overtime tonight .
I dont have time to accompany you .
Ill get the driver to send you home , okay ? Be a good girl She felt a tinge of disappointment .
Ill leave then .
With that , she got into the car and left.
Leo opened the rear door of the Rolls Royce Phantom .
Adam stepped in and settled into the backseat .
The car sped down the road while Adam reviewed documents .
Suddenly , a series of soft chimes rang .
His phone had received several text messages .
He unlocked his phone to see a series of notifications about transactions made with his exclusive black card .
Dear esteemed VVIP user , your card ending 8888 has been charged 120 dollars at Club 1996 today .
Dear esteemed WIP user , your card ending 8888 has been charged 16 dollars at Buns and Dogs Cart today .
Dear esteemed VVIP user , your card ending 8888 has been charged eight dollars at Blissful Bakes today .
Celine and Hailey were out getting supper , and all her transactions were being recorded on Adams phone .
The spending was little , amounting to 16 dollars , eight dollars , six dollars , and two dollars for a pudding .
Adam read the notifications , and a faint smile appeared .
In his mind , her crisp voice rang out again .
Adam , I dont love you anymore .
She had said she no longer loved him .
A woman like Celine would love and hate with all her heart .
When she loved , it was as fierce as the blazing sun .
He had been loved by her like th But once she turned away , she would never look back .
She truly didnt love him anymore .
He set down his phone .
Truthfully , he had never truly loved Celine , but for some reason , the moment he lost her , an inexplicable sense of emptiness enveloped his heart .
In the womens hostel , Celine woke up to find that Hailey was gone .
She found it odd .
Where would Hailey have gone to ? Hailey ? Hailey ? Celine searched around but couldnt find any sign of her .
Then , she noticed a small note on her desk .
Written in Haileys neat handwriting , it read , Celine , dont bother looking for me .
Im heading home today , She had gone home .
In truth , Celine had no idea where Haileys home was .
Even after all this time together , Halleys family had never come to visit , and she had never brought it up .
Since she hadnt mentioned it , Celine hadnt asked .
Friendships , after all , required boundaries .
With the right balance , both parties could feel comfortable and at ease .
Celine carefully put away the note , Just then , her phone chined with a WhatsApp notification .
It was from Perry .
Celine , the medicinal herb you needed has arrived .
Her eyes lit up .
The most important herb had finally arrived .
Haileys birthmark could now be treated .
