Adam didn't give Celine a chance to refuse. With a sharp push, he forced the door open and strode inside with his long legs.
Celine frowned.
Adam and Carly were really a perfect match. Both of them thought breaking into someone's house was completely acceptable.
"Mr. Alvarez, get out right now, or I'm calling security."
Adam turned his head to look at her. "Celine, are you hiding something from me?"
Celine's expression remained calm. "What do you mean?"
His gaze dropped, landing on her flat stomach. He was looking at her belly.
She immediately raised a protective hand over it. "Mr. Alvarez, what are you staring at?"
The way she reacted in such a guarded and defensive manner seemed like she thought he would hurt the baby.
Adam felt a sharp, stinging pain in his chest. So, this was what she thought of him? That he would actually hurt her and Perry's child?
His voice dropped dangerously low. "That night at Alpite Pharma, you messed with the test results, didn't you?"
Celine felt her heart sink—he knew.
From the moment Adam told her he didn't like kids and that he didn't want her to cause him trouble, she decided never to tell him.
However, the truth couldn't stay buried forever. She always knew there would come a day when he found out.
She just hadn't expected it would happen so soon, at a time like this, catching her completely off guard.
Adam's sharp voice cut through the silence. "Celine, why aren't you saying anything? You always have a sharp tongue. Tell me. Are you pregnant? I want to hear you say it."
Celine's clear, steady eyes met his gaze. She didn't even hesitate. "Yes. I'm pregnant."
Adam sneered, not knowing whether he was laughing at her or himself.
