Adam looked at Celine. "Celine, why are you so interested in Mrs. Hampton?"
Celine thought of the portrait of Fiona she had seen in Nigel's study. For sreason, she couldn't shake her
curiosity about this woman. She wanted to meet
her in person.
She smiled. "Mrs. Hampton is quite the legend. I'd like to see her for myself." Grace nodded. "That can be
arranged. Let's go to Atlas Hotel and meet her."
Just then, Bella called out, "Mommy, let's draw together!"
Celine smiled. "Alright, let's go."

Adam nodded. He understood that his mother was wise and rational. Different perspectives led to different

"Now that Fiona is back, everything depends on her decision. Celine healed my legs, and | admit, | really like
her."
Adam's eyes lit up. He seemed to have won his mother's approval.
"I've already been separated from Celine for three years. | won't let it happen again. Even though she's still With
Perry, that won't bea problem."
Grace suddenly remembered something Bella had said. "Adam, Celine and Perry aren't married."
"What?" Adam froze in astonishment. "That's impossible! Celine toldthey were married!"
Grace chuckled. "She lied to you. Bella toldherself that Celine never got married. A three-year-old child
