Celine quickly responded, "Hailey, I'm at your house. What's going on?"
"Celine, this is urgent! I just saw Carly at Freeman Restaurant!"
The moment Celine saw "Carly" on her screen, her fingers froze. Her thoughts immediately turned to Adam.
Before she could even reply, Hailey's next message popped up. "Celine, Carly said Adam invited her to Freeman Restaurant for dinner!"
Celine's heart skipped a beat. Adam invited Carly to dinner?
Just yesterday, Adam had asked her to go to the city hall to register their marriage, yet today, he was dining at Freeman Restaurant with Carly. What was he trying to do?
"Celine, are you listening? What do you think Adam is up to? If he actually goes through with this dinner, I swear I'll cut him off. I can't have someone like him as my cousin."
Celine could feel the anger in Hailey's words. "Hailey, just go ahead and eat for now."
With that, Celine put down her phone, her mind racing with thoughts of Adam. She, too, was baffled by his intentions.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Who could be at the door?
Celine walked toward the door and opened it…
…
At Freeman Restaurant, Carly had already finished three cups of coffee. The waiter approached and politely asked, "Ms. Carly, would you like another cup of coffee?"
