Thankfully, his soothing words seemed to calm Celine. She nestled into his embrace. She clutched tightly around his waist and drifted back to sleep.

Adam couldn't help but feel she was truly clingy. Lowering his gaze, he noticed she wasn't crying anymore. But her long lashes still glistened with moisture, which was truly endearing.

Adam had just woken up, his black eyes still heavy with sleep. He looked at her with amusement. “Celine, don’t you remember what happened last night?”

She really didn’t remember. She recalled taking a shower and going to bed early.

“What happened last night?” Celine asked, still confused.

“You insisted on sleeping with me and even called me “Uncle.“” Adam replied with a teasing smile.
