Adam held Be securely in his strong embrace, then

quietly reached up and plucked a strand of Be''s hair.

Be was delighted and didn''t notice anything amiss.

Just then, Celine returned. "Be."

Be''s eyes lit up. "Mommy, you''re back!"

Celine asked, "Be, what have you been doing at home?"

Grace immediately picked up Be''s drawing. "Celine,

this is the picture Be just drew. Be wants Adam to be

her daddy and says she wants the three of them to always

be together, never apart."

Celine froze as she looked at the drawing. Then, she lifted

her gaze to Adam.

Adam smirked. "Be, I''d love to be your daddy, but

you''ll have to ask your mommy first. Does she want me to

be your daddy?"

Be looked at Celine. "Mommy, I want Mr. Handsome to

be my daddy. Can I?"

Celine hesitated. "Be, things between adults are a little

"But..."

Grace chuckled. "Let''s eat first. Celine, go wash your

hands ande have dinner."

"Okay," Celine replied.

Then, she went to wash her hands.

Grace took Be from Adam''s arms and gave him a look."

It looks like the road to winning your wife back is going to

bea long one. Good luck."

Adam said nothing. He looked at the strand of hair in his

hand. As long as Be was his biological daughter , then

Celine would be his, too!

Just then, Leo walked over. "Mr. Alvarez."

Adam handed him the hair. "Make sure the DNA test is

done under your watch. I don''t want anyone tampering

with it. I want the results by tonight!"

Leo nodded. "Yes, Mr. Alvarez."

With that, he left.

Celine was washing her hands in the bathroom. She

turned off the faucet and turned around, only to walk

straight into a broad, warm chest. It was Adam''s.

He hade in and was standing behind her without

making a sound.

Celine''s longshes quivered as she blinked at him. "Mr.

Alvarez, what are you doing standing behind me? Are you

trying to scare me?"

She turned to leave.

But when she stepped left, Adam moved left. When she

stepped right, Adam moved right. His tall, powerful frame

blocked her path like a wall.

Celine''s clear, bright eyesnded on Adam''s striking face.

"Mr. Alvarez, you''re in my way."

Adam leaned in, cing both hands on the sink behind

her, trapping her in his embrace as he chuckled. "Yeah,

I''m blocking your way. What are you going to do about it?

"

Celine fell silent. She raised both hands and pressed them

against his firm chest, trying to push him away.

"Mr. Alvarez, move!"

Adam didn''t budge. Not only did he refuse to move, but he

also lowered his head, bringing his face closer to her

delicate , elegant features. His voice dropped to a teasing

whisper. "Give me a kiss, and I''ll move."

What? A kiss?

Celine was stunned by his shamelessness and

immediately refused. "No way!"

He pinched her dainty chin. "You don''t want to, but I do."

Then, Adam lowered his head and captured her soft, rosy
