Chapter 255 Face–to–Face, Cecelia With Her Brother
The soil was too dry. Adam took out his self–defense dagger and continued to dig, circling around the tree roots.

He knelt on the ground, not knowing how long he had been digging, how many holes he had dug, until the tip of the dagger hit something metallic.
The sound was distinctly different!
He continued, and indeed unearthed a metallic box.
The box was rusty, with unclear patterns on its surface. He used the dagger to pry it open.
Due to the pa**age of time, the box had been exposed to mud and water, and its contents had mixed with soil and rust.
He emptied everything from inside the box, searching through the mud. Wooden items had long decayed, some plastic objects had become brittle and fragile, breaking upon touch.
After searching for a while, he finally found something that hadn’t corroded.
It was a metal tube, as thick as a pen and as long as a finger. He scraped off the dirt on top, rinsed it with bottled water several times, and finally figured out what it was.
It was a bra** whistle!
Yes, a whistle!
Adam cleaned it, wiped it dry with his clothes, and put it to his l*ps to blow.
“Shhh–Shhh-”
The whistle could still make a sound, exactly like the sound of the whistle in his mind.
As the whistle’s sound echoed, he couldn’t control himself anymore, tears welled up in his eyes.
He missed his family too much!
His mother, his sister, where were they now?
Returning from Cherry Ridge to Center City, it was already around 5:30 PM. He sent his location to Cecelia and went ahead to wait for her at a private restaurant.

Cecelia received Adam’s location, got ready, and said goodbye to Remington.

“Remington, I’m leaving Doris with you. I’ll come back to pick up her later!”
Remington was with their children, playing games with them. Upon hearing Cecelia’s words, he intentionally ignored her.
Knowing that he was upset because she gave Adam pants, Cecelia thought, let him be mad if he wants. She had no intention of pacifying him!
Hearing the sound of an engine outside, Remington immediately got up to look, but he only saw the taillights of a departing car.
This woman, did she really go on a date with that young guy?
Unbelievable!
Remington promptly instructed Fredric Ingerwood and Samson Nelson to watch over the kids.
Fredric thought that Remi was in trouble this time. Miss Linsey had returned for the sake of the children, but she hadn’t agreed to remarry from start to finish.
So, Remi’s pursuit of his wife was still a long way off!
Cecelia’s other suitors, or his future rivals, were still on the way to come. Just thinking about it gave him a headache!
Remington quickly went out, got in his car, and also contacted. Cynthia, “Cynthia! Hurry to Aroma Villa!”
“Why? Don’t you know that I’m going to meet my Shepard tonight?”
“Quickly come help me take care of Doris! I have an emergency. Reschedule your date. Dr. Nuno doesn’t have a good impression of you, after all. You don’t need to go out of your way for someone who’s cold to you!”
“What the heck!”
Cynthia was speechless; her little brother actually hit her this hard!
Was he serious?
“If you help me look after Doris, I’ll help you pursue Dr. Shepard Nuno! I promise to get him for you!”
“Fine!”

With her brother’s a**urance, Cynthia obediently went to Aroma Villa to help him with Doris,
One couldn’t help but sigh; Cynthia Nelson was truly a young lady, butler by fate!
Cecelia probably didn’t know that Remington had installed a locator in her new phone. It wasn’t a malicious program; it was a simple sharing of location.
By enabling the location feature, he could easily know her déstination.
Following Adam’s location, Cecelia arrived at a well–known private restaurant in Center City called Taylor’s.
She checked in with Adam’s name, and the waiter led her to a private room.
Upon entering the room, Cecelia saw that Adam had been waiting for a while.
Seeing her enter, Adam quickly stood up and pulled out her chair. “Miss, you’re here!”
“Just call me Cece.”
Cecelia had already regarded him as a friend and hoped he wouldn’t be too formal.
“Alright, Cece.”
Adam took a seat across from her and picked up the menu. “What would you like to eat?”
“I should be asking that question. Order whatever you want; it’s on me!”
“Well then, I won’t hold back!”
Adam called the waiter over and started placing the order.
Cecelia gazed at his handsome face, unable to resist asking, “Your accent doesn’t sound like a local. Where are you from?”
“I’m a local!”
Adam smiled faintly, then instructed the waiter, “Bring a freshly squeezed juice for this beautiful lady.”
“Of course, sir. I’ll prepare it for you right away.”
After the waiter left, Adam was also curious. “Could you reveal to me

what you do for a living?”

“I’m quite free. I do whatever I want. And you? What kind of work do you do?”
“I’m currently unemployed and looking for a job. Cece, do you have any suitable job recommendations for me? Maybe something like being your chauffeur.”
“You, to be my chauffeur? That’s a bit of an overkill! I’m afraid I can’t afford you!”
Cecelia remembered the first time she met Adam; he was driving a million–dollar luxury car. He seemed like a son of some billionare, not someone lacking a job.
“Others might not be able to afford me, but I’m sure you can. You’re the woman–in–the–chair behind the LC Group, with billions of dollars of networth.”
Adam casually remarked, instantly raising Cecelia’s sense of alertness. “Did you investigate mé?”
She even began to suspect the coincidental nature of their encounter and his motives!
Perhaps she was being overly sensitive, but that was her character- cautious, suspicious, and always on guard!
“I just looked into it casually. I only investigate things that interest. me; I wouldn’t bother if I’m not intérested.
Adam meant that he investigated her because he was interested in her.
Sunshine radiated from Adam’s face, a faint smile on his l*ps, making it difficult to decipher his inner thoughts.
In any case, Cecelia felt that this man wasn’t as simple as he appeared on the surface. It seemed like he was hiding something deep within, or perhaps he hadn’t shown his true self.
She didn’t say anything more, but she had already made up her mind. After this meal, she wouldn’t continue getting too involved with this person.
Because they were clearly not on the same page.
Following the locator, Remington found the “Taylor’s” private restaurant. He parked outside and stared at the sign, rubbing his chin.
Now what should he do?

Remington felt a bit anxious, but he was helpless. As long as he thought about Cecelia happily having dinner with that young guy, his thoughts seemed to be all twisted up!
After a short while, the waiter started serving the dishes. Adam had ordered quite a variety of dishes, filling the table.
Seeing the delicious food, Adam felt hungry. “These dishes all look so delicious. I want to try them all.”
“Then go ahead, eat as much as you want.”
Just as they were about to start eating, the door to the private booth suddenly opened!
