Of course, Carly wasn't going to give up on Adam.
Over the past three years, Adam had returned to the Capitol and taken over Alvarez Group, becoming the most powerful figure among the city's elite. His era in the business world had officially begun, and countless high-society ladies had their eyes on him, eager to win him over.
There was no way she would just hand Adam over to someone else.
Carly looked at Grace and smiled. "Mrs. Alvarez, I love Adam very, very much. I will wait for him to come back to me."
Grace patted Carly's hand. "Carly, you're such a good child."
Carly smiled confidently.
…
Adam entered his study and started reviewing documents. But suddenly, an image flashed through his mind. It was a delicate, porcelain-like little face—Bella.
He was thinking about that child again.
He had never liked kids before, yet after seeing Bella, he couldn't seem to forget her.
That child must be about three years old now.
Three years ago, when Celine left, she was pregnant. Had she given birth? Was it a boy or a girl?
For the past three years, he had thought about Celine every single day. When the longing became unbearable, his mind would wonder if she was with Perry now and if they were a happy little family of three.
Every time he thought about it, his heart ached unbearably.
In the end, he had lost his woman.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Mr. Alvarez." Leo's voice came from outside.
Adam snapped out of his thoughts. "Come in."
Leo pushed open the study door and walked in, placing a document beside Adam. "Mr. Alvarez, this is the list of attendees for tomorrow's Apex Gala. Please review it."
Adam had rushed back from Florencia to the Capitol specifically for this event.
As he picked up the list, his eyes immediately landed on one name—Linny.
Should he continue?
Adam's voice was firm. "Keep looking. I have to find her."
Leo nodded. "Got it."
Adam sat in his office chair, his mind once again conjuring up the image of Celine's delicate, beautiful face.
"Celine, where are you?"
…
The next day, Adam was preparing to leave for the Apex Gala when Grace and Carly appeared.
Grace asked, "Adam, are you heading to the Apex Gala? Perfect timing. Take Carly with you."
The Apex Gala was a gathering of the most powerful and influential people. Carly loved this kind of high-society event, and of course, she wanted to attend, especially with Adam by her side.
However, Adam refused outright. "I'm not taking her."
