Chapter 458

Adam dragged Celine along, giving her no chance to resist. Stumbling to keep up, she protested, “Mr. Alvarez, where are you taking me? Let me go! I don’t want to go with you!”

Adam didn’t give her a choice. He pulled her from the apartment, straight to the elevator, and shoved her inside. Perry stood frozen, completely taken aback by Adam’s overbearing actions. “Wait, Mr. Alvarez, you—” Before he could finish, Adam had already shut the elevator doors, disappearing with Celine right before Perry’s eyes. Perry was left speechless.

Adam dragged Celine downstairs, his grip firm around her slender wrist as he pulled her toward his luxury car. She struggled hard, trying to break free. “Mr. Alvarez, what the hell are you doing? Are you crazy? Where are you taking me? I already told you—I’m not going anywhere with you!” Ignoring her resistance, Adam yanked open the Rolls-Royce’s passenger door. His cold, piercing gaze locked onto hers as he asked, “Celine, are you hiding something from me?” She froze. “What are you talking about?”

Adam then looked at her flat stomach. Celine immediately took a step back. She shouted, “What are you looking at? Pervert!”

Adam asked, “Are you pregnant?”

She was shocked. He knew? Did he figure it out? Then, he looked at her face again. “Are you really pregnant? Are you carrying my child?”

Celine’s mind exploded with panic. Just when she had decided to keep the baby without its father, he had found out. What would he do now? Would he force her to get rid of the baby? After all, this child carried half of his DNA.

Her mind raced, scrambling for a way out. She couldn’t admit it. Without hesitation, she shook her head. “I’m not pregnant.”

Adam looked at her calmly and asked, “Are you sure?”

Celine replied, “Of course it’s true, Mr. Alvarez. We’re over. I would never be pregnant with your child. I’m leaving.”

As she was about to leave, Adam grabbed her wrist. Without giving her a chance to resist, he shoved her into the passenger seat. “You don’t get to decide whether you’re pregnant or not. We’re going to the hospital. I want to hear it from the doctor.”

Celine’s lashes trembled slightly as she panicked. As Adam slid into the driver’s seat, Celine said, “Mr. Alvarez, I’m really not pregnant. Please, just believe me!”

While glancing at her stomach again, Adam laughed coldly. “Celine, if I find out you stole my genes and secretly gave birth to my child, you’re finished.”

Celine responded, “Mr. Alvarez, I really didn’t!” As she spoke, she sneezed.

The night air was chilly. Adam yanked Celine outside, but she was only wearing a thin nightgown. Celine said, “Mr. Alvarez, I’m freezing. How about this? I’ll go with you to the hospital tomorrow instead, okay?”

Without a word, Adam took off his black suit jacket and tossed it at her. “Put this on.”

The jacket landed right on her head, completely covering her face. Celine wasn’t sure if he did it on purpose, but either way, his fresh masculine scent and the lingering warmth from his body instantly surrounded her. She quickly pulled the jacket off her face and shot him an exasperated glare. “Mr. Alvarez, don’t flatter yourself. Do you really think I’d steal your genes?”
