Chapter 424

“That’s right. My boyfriend paid for everything—the luxury car, the mansion—he bought it all. I just moved in,” Celine retorted.

Adam pursed his lips. Then, something on the coffee table caught his eye. “What’s this?” He walked toward it.

Celine’s gaze followed his, and her face paled in shock. A pregnancy test strip lay on the table. She reached for it, but Adam was faster, picking it up first. He examined the test and turned to her. “Why do you have this?”

Celine saw it was a new, unused strip. If it had shown positive, her pregnancy would have been immediately exposed. Since Adam didn’t want children, she hadn’t told him. She wasn’t sure how he would react. Would he let her keep the baby? Or would he force her to have an abortion?

“Celine, why aren’t you answering me? I asked you why you have a pregnancy test.” His intense gaze left her no escape.

She retorted, “What do you think a pregnancy test is for? Obviously, it’s for testing pregnancy.”

Adam stepped closer, his dominating presence causing Celine to back away slowly. “What are you doing?” Her knees hit the couch, and she sat down. In an instant, he loomed over her, one hand bracing against the couch, trapping her. His sharp eyes bored into hers. “Why do you need a test? Are you trying to test for my child?”

Celine smiled. Then, coldly, he added, “Or are you checking if it’s Perry’s?”

She understood. She shoved his chest and yelled, “That’s none of your business!” But before she could break free, he grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him. “Are you angry? Why are you so angry? Could it be that you and Perry haven’t slept together yet?”

This enraged Celine. He’d barged in just to see how far things had progressed between her and Perry. If that’s what he wanted, she’d tell him.

Celine raised an eyebrow and gave him a seductive smile. “Well, Mr. Alvarez, Perry and I have already slept together.” Adam’s thumb slowly brushed across her chin. He asked mockingly, “Is that so? Then tell me, between me and Perry, who’s better?” Celine’s eyes narrowed.

Adam pressed further, “Or rather, between Perry and me, which one do you like more?”

Uncontrollable rage surged through her. She swung at his face, but Adam caught her wrist. “Why are you hitting me?”

Celine lunged forward, her lips meeting his. She tasted blood. Her lips drew back.
