The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 505

At the mention of the past, Adam's expression softened. "Yes. Years ago, I was badly injured and ended up lost in a forest. Carly saved me. Without her, I wouldn't be here today. She's the one who saved my life."

Celine found it ridiculous. She laughed, though she wasn't sure why. Her heart ached, yet there was a strange, tingling numbness deep inside her. She had always thought he had forgotten her, but he never did. He still remembered her. All these years, he had reserved a place for her in her heart.

Being loved in return was a beautiful thing, even if he had given his love to the wrong person.

Celine tilted her small, delicate face up at him. "Do you remember what you said in that cave?"

Adam nodded. "I said I'd take her away. I said I'd give her a home and never leave her."

Adam gazed at Celine intensely and continued, "All these years, I've kept my promise. I found Carly and made sure she stayed by my side, watching over her as she grew up. In a way, she's like a flower I've tended to with care, giving her all my love and protection."

He reached out and grasped Celine's shoulders. "Do you get it now? I never wanted us to be on opposing sides, and I don't want to be your enemy, but I can't turn my back on Carly. Although she's spoiled, manipulative, and not perfect, she's still my girl."

Adam said that Carly was his girl.

Celine's eyes turned red, tears welling up in them as she gazed at him.
