Chapter 345 Adam glanced at Benjamin .

Get some rest for now .

Well discuss everything tomorrow , Both Celine and Benjamin needed time to recover before any further discussions .

With Adam present , Benjamin felt a sense of reassurance .

He nodded .

Adam carried Celine out Cassidy , who had been waiting outside , hurried forward Adam , is your sister alright ? My sister has a high fever .

Cassidy , could you help us by arranging a room ? Faced with Adams noble and striking appearance , Cassidy , who admired handsome men , couldnt refuse .

She immediately used her position as the village chiefs daughter to secure a clean room for him .

Adan gently laid Celine on the bed .

Her entire body was cold , and sweat dampened her forehead , Soft strands of hair clung to her pale skin , emphasizing her fragility Adam reached out and carefully brushed her bags aside , Adam ? Cassidys voice broke the silence .

Only then did Adam remember that she was still in the room .

He straightened and asked , Ms.

Cassidy , do you have a brother ? Cassidy nodded .

Yes , my brother is Wyatt Lawson .

Hes of marriageable age .

Any woman in the village would marry him in a heartbeat , but he has high standards and hasnt found anyone he likes .

Adams lips curved into a cold , faint smile .

Wyatts standards were indeed high .

After all , he had chosen Celine .

But how many Celine were there in the world ? Cassidys gaze softened as she looked at Adam .

Im of marriageable age too , but I dont like any of the men here .

My father keeps pressuring me to marry , Adam , what do you think I should do ? Her intentions were obvious .

Ironically , both siblings , Wyatt and Cassidy , had set their sights on Celine and Adam , respectively .

Cassidy , Ill be meeting with the village chief tomorrow .

Really ? Cassidys eyes lit up She thought Adam had understood her hints and intended to propose to her father .

Adam knew exactly what she meant .

Her intentions were transparent , but he didnt expose her .

Instead , he said , My sister and I need to rest .

Cassidy , could you please leave us for now ? Cassidy left cheerfully and even closed the door behind her .

However , as soon as soon as she stepped outside , a sudden thought struck her .

There was only one bed in that room .

How would they manage ? Were they going to share it ? Inside the room , silence settled once more .

Celine shavered violently .

Im so cold … Adam raised his hand and unbuttoned his coat , slipping off the heavy black outer layer before sliding under the blanket .

Celine instinctively sensed the warmth approaching and shifted over , curling up against him like a small , trembling bird .

Adam reached out and wrapped his arms around her .

Given the crude conditions , sharing body heat was the only way to keep warm , Her fragile frame pressed against him , sending a wave of tension through his body .

It had been so long since he had held her like this Since their divorce , the distance between them ad grown .

They had become strangers .

But on sleepless nights , his mind had often drifted back to her .

Still stavering , Celine burrowed closer as her small hand slipped under his shirt through the open collar , seeking warmth .

uscular , his defined abs radiating heat like a furnace .

Adan lelt her hand moving across his skin .

She was too hasty .

A falist pop sounded as one of his shirt buttons snapped off .

His Adams apple Bobbed as he swallowed .

He gently pressed down on her small hand .

Celine , slow down .

I dont have a spare shirt here , Chamer H
