Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Even though Celine had an unhappy childhood, she never lost the courage to love.
Whether it was Lucy or Adam, she had always loved with passion and unreservedness.
Loving someone didnt make a person week or inferior.
And love should never be used as an excuse to take advantage of her.
Besides, she had already given up on loveshe no longer loved Adam.
Adams cold gaze locked onto her resolute expression, a mocking smirk bugging at his lips.
Really? Youre over me? Before Celine could finish her sentence, Adam lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, forcefully capturing them.
Celines mind went blank as her eyes widened in disbeliefAdam was kissing her! This wasnt their first kiss.
The last time, in the bathroom, she had cling to him and initiated it herself.
But this time, he was the one taking the lead.
Celine began to struggle, pushing against him.

Let go of me! Adams tall, imposing frame pinned her slender body firmly against the wall.
His cool, unyielding lips pressed down on hers with an air of dominance and conquest.
He seized the moment she parted her lips to deepen the kiss.
In that instant, his unique presence consumed her sensesa clean, fresh masculine scent that was distinctly his.
Celine had never been close to any other man besides Adam.
She was as pure as a blank canvas.
Her inexperienced body reacted sensitively to their closeness, a fiery blush spreading across her face.
Her hands, which had been pressing against his chest, slowly curled, clutching the luxurious fabric of his shirt between her fingers.

Caline stammered, her face flushed a deep crimson.
Adams voice dripped with mockery.
Is this what you call being over me? Look at yourselfyou can barely stand after my kiss.
He recalled the time Celine had teased him for being a bad kisser.
Now, he was the one smirking, and she was the one left speechless.
The mockery hit Celine like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the lingering wanath in her cheeks.
It was only then she realised the kiss was meant to humiliate her.
Adam hadnt even bothered to close his eyes during the kiss.
Instead, he had coldly watched her as she fell into disarray, which he found amusing.
Gazing at her stilldazed expression, Adam added, is that all it takes to get you flustered? As a man in his prime, Adam knew exactly how to wield your power, and his unrelenting cruelty towards her was razorsharp.
Celine felt embarrassed and deeply humblated.

She hated him, but what she detested even more was herself.
Her body still reacted to him.
Perhaps, deep down, she still harbored feelings for himand he had turned that into a weapon to ridicule her.
However, Celine wasnt the kind of woman to let herself be trampled on.
If someone struck her, she struck back just as hard.
After collecting herself, she leaned in closer to Adam, her chin held high.
Thats right.
And thats why Im looking for someone else.
You cant satisfy me if you can freely please Carly, then I can find another man to fulfill my needs, What are you so smug about, Adam? If Nathan kissed me, Id react the same way.
She deliberately emphasized Nathans name as she spoke.
