LittleNovelAdam said firmly, "Hey, I'm a man, you know. There's no way I wouldn't mind with you dressed up so stunningly tonight!" When he had walked in earlier and seen her in that dress, standing in front of those men, he had to fight the urge to make all of them disappear for good.
Celine gave him another glare-one that clearly urged him to focus on saving Bella and Grace first.
Just then, Leo walked over and greeted, "Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Tate." Celine's expression tensed. "Any updates? Did you catch the kidnapper?" Leo shook his head. "We've searched the private winery inside and out. No suspicious person was found." Celine's heart sank. "She got away again!" She was disappointed but not surprised. If Carly had dared to walk into this winery, she clearly had an escape route ready.

Adam suggested, "Let's go home." Celine nodded. "Okay." By the tAdam and Celine returned to the office, the sky was already dark.
Adam asked, "So you're saying... Carly was the kidnapper?" Celine nodded. "Yes, I'm certain it was Carly, but I have no proof." Adam furrowed his brows in silence.
Celine stood up. "Mr. Alvarez, you don't believe me, do you? I don't have any evidence, so it's only natural for you to doubt me. After all, Carly is your fiancée. If I were you, I'd probably believe my fiancée too." With that, she turned to leave.
However, Adam reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
"Celine, are you upset?" She shook her head. "Why would I be upset? It's only natural for you to trust your fiancée." Of course, Adam could tell she was distraught.
With a smirk, he said, "Celine, I didn't say anything. You're the one who put words in my mouth here. Yes, I believe you. I do believe that Carly is behind this." Surprised, Celine asked, "You really believe me?" Adam nodded. "I do. After her panicked escape tonight, she definitely wouldn't dare touch Bella or my mom. It's late. Let's rest and cup with a plan tomorrow." They had been on edge and running around the entire day. It was tto rest.
Celine knew Carly had failed and wouldn't dare to act tonight again especially now that both she and Adam had her fig out.

However, Adam caught her wrist once more. "Celine, where are you going?"
"You said to rest, so I'm going to rest.
I'll be staying over at Hailey's place tonight. "Celine, you're not going anywhere. Stay here. Spend the night here." Spend the night here?
Although Adam had his personal lounge in the office, Celine bad no intention of spending the night there. "Mr. Alvarez, I still think I should leave."
"Celine, what if there's news about Bella or my mom in the middle of the conferen night?"
