Chapter 263

Chapter 263 Unexpectedly Learned His True Identity Adam had already driven the car away, so Cecelia didn’t say anything else.

She couldn’t figure out why, but she could never resist Adam’s initiative and goodwill.

“Cece, should I take you to Bluebell Mansion?”

Adam had checked that this was where she lived. Cecelia nodded. “Yes.”

In Adam’s presence, it seemed like nothing could be hidden from him, and Cecelia didn’t intentionally hide anything.

The two of them remained silent on the way. Cecelia rested with her eyes closed, and Adam smoothly drove her back to Bluebell Mansion.

The vehicle belonged to the manor, so the gatekeeper opened the gate for them directly. Adam drove the car inside and parked it in front of the villa.

When they arrived, Adam turned around and opened the door of the passenger seat. “Cece, here we are. You can get off now!”

Cecelia opened her eyes and indeed saw the car parked at the front. door of her house. She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

“Thank you, Adam. Shall I have someone send you back?”

Adam smirked playfully. “I drove you back, so aren’t you going to invite me in for a cup of tea? I’m thirsty.”

His sunny smile and sincere tone made it impossible for her to refuse his request.

“Alright, come in!”

Cecelia invited him into the house and had someone make tea for him.

Adam finally entered Cecelia’s residence, and he was so curious. After he sat on the sofa for a while, a servant brought over a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

“Adam, take your time to drink. If you want to leave after finishing, there are drivers outside who can give you a ride. I’ll go rest first!”

“Alright, you go rest! I’ll leave after I finish my tea!”

Chapter 263 Unexpectedly Learned His True Identity 80% 12:49 Adam could also sense Cecelia’s deliberate distance and cautiousness towards him. He had to admit that this woman had a strong sense of self–defense and seemed to have already noticed something.

Adam’s gaze darkened slightly. After finally getting the opportunity to enter Bluebell Mansion, he couldn’t easily let it slip away.

No one knew what his mission in the Cathail Republic was. He was supposed to get close to a woman named Cecelia and find a way to obtain the heirloom book The Collection of Fragrant Clothes from her.

But when they first met, he almost hit her with the car, and the second time he coincidentally met her at the hospital. Those were accidents. At that time, he still didn’t know she was his target.

Later, he helped her by holding an umbrella for her and invited her to have a meal, which was his carefully designed plan.

He needed to become familiar with her first, gain her trust, and then proceed to find the heirloom book.

The servant in the living room went off to work, and Adam finished. the last sip of tea in his cup. Instead of leaving, he quietly went upstairs.

As he passed the master bedroom, which was closed, he made his way toward the study and slipped inside quietly.

Where would Cecelia hide The Collection of Fragrant Clothes which was precious?

Adam began to search carefully. He checked the bookshelves, boxes, and containers, but unfortunately, found nothing.

He approached the desk and opened a few drawers, but one of them was locked and couldn’t be opened.

Could it be hidden here?

Adam took out a thin wire he carried with him and after some tinkering, he finally managed to unlock the drawer.

Gently pulling it open, Adam discovered a box inside. His heart leaped with joy and he quickly opened the lid.

But when he saw what was inside the box, he realized it wasn’t a heirloom book, but a picture frame.

He took out the frame and turned it to face him. With just one glance, he was stunned!

Chapter 263 Unexpectedly Learned His True Identity In the frame was a photo of a mother sitting with her son and daughter under a cherry blossom tree.

80% 12:49 Weren’t those pretty cherry blossoms the same ones he had seen in Looking closely at the little boy in the photo, Adam was astonished. Wasn’t that him as a child?

If that was him, then the gentle and beautiful woman in the photo must be his mother, and the innocent and lovely girl of the same age must be his sister.

He had finally found his mother and sister!

This photo was actually in Cecelia’s study. Could it be that Cecelia was…

The more Adam thought about it, the more shocked he became. The answer was already on the tip of his tongue.

But at that moment, the study door was kicked open and Cecelia’s cold figure appeared at the doorway.

Adam raised his gaze and looked at Cecelia, his heart filled with mixed emotions and his thoughts in turmoil.

“Put down whatever you’re holding! Leave, please!”

Cecelia hadn’t rested. She deliberately left Adam alone downstairs to see what his intentions were.

Now, he had been exposed, right?

“Cece, I…”

Adam’s heart ached terribly and he had so much to say, but at this moment, those words felt stuck in his throat and he didn’t know where to start.

“Don’t say anything! Adam, you’ve helped me before, so I won’t hold you responsible. But from now on, don’t try to get close to me for any reason! Leave!”

Cecelia’s attitude was cold and firm. She was already convinced that Adam had intentionally approached her, possibly for The Collection of Fragrant Clothes.

Adam felt very sad. He had messed up everything, He never expected that the family he was searching for would be his target.

Even if he explained that he was her brother, she probably wouldn’t believe him.

Chapter 263 Unexpectedly Learned His True Identity lack 12:49 At this moment, he had no choice but to put down the picture frame and leave the study with his head down.

“I’m sorry…”

As he passed by Cecelia, he apologized to her.

Cecelia didn’t react at all. It was only after Adam went downstairs and left that she slowly turned around and looked in the direction he disappeared.

Watching him walk away step by step, Cecelia found it hard to describe the feelings in her heart.

Why did she feel a sense of inexplicable loss and regret?

She really didn’t want such a warm and outgoing young man to be manipulated by others!

Adam was expelled from Bluebell Mansion.

As he looked back at the manor gate, tears welled up in his eyes. His heart was in so much pain!

His actions just now must have hurt his sister’s heart.

She might never be able to trust him again or have any further contact with him.

Thinking about all this, Adam felt deep regret. He asked for it.

How could he restore his image in his sister’s heart?

Adam didn’t know what to do, but he understood that he couldn’t blindly help his master find The Collection of Fragrant Clothes anymore, because it was in his sister’s hands.

Adam suppressed his sadness and made a phone call to his master.

His master was the one who had taken him away from the monastery in Phoenix City and raised him.

“Hello? Adam, have you succeeded?”

Adam suppressed his grief and questioned him, “Master, why did you adopt me back then? There were so many children in the monastery. Why did you choose me?”

The sudden questioning caused his master to fall into a brief silence.

Chapter 263 Unexpectedly Learned His True Identity MON 1249 “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you already know about my background and specifically chose me? You made me find the secret manual, but you didn’t tell me that Cecelia is my sister, my biological sister!”

Tears of sorrow and anger streamed down, and Adam’s hand clenched into a fist. He couldn’t believe that his master had raised him only as a trap, and he was just a tool controlled by his master! He was even a weapon aimed at his own sister!

“Adam, I raised you, so you should be grateful. I’ve received the latest news that the other half of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes might be released soon. You must quickly obtain both parts. If you can’t handle this task, I will let Lucian take over, and you should stay out of it!”

The call ended, and Adam roared, “Hello, hello, Master…”

When he called again, it was already unable to get through.

Adam’s heart was tightly clenched as well. He regretted confronting his master directly just now. If his master really assigned his senior brother Lucian to carry out this task, it would be troublesome!

Lucian was a ruthless and cruel guy, especially fond of torturing and killing women!

The only thing he could do now was to stay and protect his sister, and then find out the secrets of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes and his master’s true intentions.

In addition, he had to find out his true identity!

His sister’s surname was Linsey, and she was one of the Lindseys, so was his previous last name also Linsey?

When investigating Cecelia, he learned that the Linsey family had a son named Kevin who went missing at the age of five. Could Kevin be his former name?
