Adam’s expression was cold and impassive “Grandina wants to see you. When we get there, you know what to do, right?”

Celine found his woods tronk. “Pretend to be in love? I can’t take that.”

Adam sneered “Haven’t you always enjoyed pretending to be in love with me in front of Grandma?”

Her heart ached. Mary Horton’s health had been poor for years, and during their visits to Alvarez Residence, Adern had always treated Celine coldly. She had been the only one putting on the act, playing her part in a one–woman show. Now, be used that to mock her.

“Just look at yourself–a country bumpkin who got to marry into this family because Carly wasn’t around. Do you really think you’re worthy of being Mrs. Alvarez? You don’t deserve Adam. past hurry up and get a divorce.”

Celine felt aslight warmth in her heart. Mary was the only source of kindness she’d found in the Alvarez family. She smiled and gave Marya gentle he “of course I missed you, Grandma”

Mary beamed with joy, her laughter filling the room. At that moment, Adam’s tall, imposing figure entered.

Celine released Mary and said, “Grandma, you haven’t had your medicinal soup in days, have you? I’ll go prepare it for you. With that, she headed to the lotchen.

Adam then sat beside Mary. “Hey, Grandma.”
