Adam successfully wooed Chelsea back into his bed, but right before the sparks flew, the Young & Restless bad boy made a move that hinted at exactly how it would all fall apart. His own worst enemy indeed!
It didn’t take long for Adam to convince Chelsea to give their relationship another shot. Once she moved in with him at the ranch for Connor’s sake, it only took some banter over a bag of chips and an impressive home-cooked meal to earn him a kiss. Chelsea reciprocated in kind, not only delighting her ex with her culinary skills, but also baking him a cake in a do-over of a failed attempt many years ago. Minutes later, they were licking frosting off of each other in a bedroom after one asked the other, “Your wing or mine?”
With plans to spend the night romping in bed whilst Connor games at the “main house” with Johnny, the deal appeared to be sealed on a “Chadam” reunion. Too bad we already see the writing on the wall for their first conflict.Right before Chelsea entered the parlor to alert Adam to the fact that she’d cooked dinner for him, Victor’s son was on the phone holding a terse call, presumably with an employee at Newman Media. He argued with the person on the other end of the line about running a burn piece on — who else? — Billy Abbott. When the staff member balked at publishing a story with no source or facts, Adam snapped at them to make it an op-ed then, as long as it declared that Abbott’s new media company was destined to crash and burn.
It appeared that Chelsea heard the tail-end of the conversation when she mentioned “payback”, and Adam certainly looked freaked out thinking she’d caught him, but it soon became clear that she was none the wiser. If she had overheard, the evening might have taken an entirely different turn than it did. Why? Billy, of course, is her ex-boyfriend, and Adam is targeting him. Once it comes to light, it’s not going to be a good look for Adam, who has rebuilt his relationship with Chelsea on the basis of being a “changed man”. She won’t take kindly to him doing a hit piece on Billy’s new business given her ongoing guilt about the cheating, and considering how uncertain she was about believing Adam had turned over a new leaf, she’s bound to question everything. She may even decide to cut and run.
The revelation of Adam targeting Billy will either end their reunion or leave “Chadam” on very shaky ground indeed. Especially if it escalates even further before she finds out what he’s up to. At that point, even if Billy returns fire, Chelsea will blame Adam for starting the whole mess. Do you think Adam and Chelsea can weather the brewing business battle?
