Chapter 115

3/1

Tonight, Adam had been losing nonstop, luck wasn’t on his side, and the cold lines on his handsome face made it clear he wasn’t pleased.

Carly, who was seated beside him, was studying her cards. Beside her lay a fruit platter filled with fresh seasonal fruits. She reached out with her delicate hand, picked a plump purple grape, and peeled off its skin. Then, she held the glistening, juicy flesh to Adam’s lips.

Without taking his eyes off his cards, Adam opened his mouth and ate the grape Carly offered.

She nestled closer to him, her movements soft and graceful, catching the seed he spat out in her palm without hesitation.

Carly resembled a perfect wife, attending to Adam’s every need.

One of the young heirs at the table laughed. “Only Mr. Alvarez could have Mercity’s number one beauty catering to him like this.”

The other chimed in, “They say fortune in love means misfortune in gambling. No wonder Mr. Alvarez has been losing all night.”

Carly gave a playful pout, her lips curving into a coy smile. “All you do is tease me.”

Outside the door, Celine watched the scene unfold. It was the first time she had seen Adam bring Carly to socialize and play cards with his friends. A pang of bitterness surged in her chest.
