Chapter 177

Nathan called out, "Celine, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you everywhere."

Carly and Melody had joined Adam. Melody immediately noticed the ice cream in Celine's hand and asked, "Celine, where did you get that ice cream?" Cady felt a pang of jealousy when she saw the ice cream. She had planned to be the center of attention, but Celine had effortlessly stolen the spotlight. With a sneer, she remarked, "Celine, you certainly have a way with men. Mr. Lynch steps away for a moment, and now you've got a man buying you ice cream? Who's the man who got this for you?"

Celine glanced at Adam, who simply stared at her, waiting for her response.

"Does the ice cream really need to be bought by a man? I bought it myself," Celine said, offering a small lie.

Carly and Melody exchanged skeptical glances. Adam's lips curled into a smirk as he silently watched her spin a lie so effortlessly.

Celine didn't want to dwell on that. She turned to Nathan and said, "Mr. Lynch, I'm done with the hot spring. Let's head back to the room."

Nathan nodded. "Alright."

As they walked away, Melody couldn't help but mutter bitterly, "Celine is definitely lying. That ice cream was from a man, and now she's dragging Nate back to the room. She's probably trying to get him into bed."

Carly reached out and hooked her arm around Adam's muscular one. "Adam, Celine is Nathan's girlfriend now, and they're staying in the same room tonight. Do you think they'll sleep together?"

Melody quickly chimed in, "Of course they will! Even if Adam hasn't touched Celine, it's clear she's not as innocent as she seems. She clearly knows how to use her looks to her advantage."

Carly shot a glance at Adam's impassive face before replying, "Melody, do you really think that's the case?"

Melody scoffed, "Of course! Celine isn't as pure as she appears. She's the type to use her charm to get what she wants. Who knows how many men she's been with?" Adam's expression darkened as he watched Celine and Nathan leave.

Melody added, "You all remember her foster father, right? Don't even get me started on her past. She probably" Her words trailed off as she met Adam's chilling gaze. The silent warning in his eyes immediately silenced her. The ever-perceptive Carly knew exactly when to stay quiet. No matter how refined Adam was, no man would accept a woman with a tarnished history, especially someone like Adam, who had a strong sense of morality. He would never tolerate anyone bringing up Celine's past.

Finally, Carly broke the silence. "Adam, I'm tired. Let's go back to our room."

As they walked down the hallway, a hotel staff member wheeled a cart toward them. "Watch out!" the staff member called.

Melody noticed the cart had a label that read, "Celestial Suite."

"That's for Nate and"
