The Divorce Prescription
Abind date?
Adamâs demeanor instantly turned key. He reached up and loosened the buttons on his shirt.
There were a couple of dings as Robinâs WhatsApp messages came flooding in. They were accompanied by audio clips that automatically played, echoing clearly in the room.
Celine, check this guy out rightâpack abs, and a gym enthusiast. Do you like him? You could rest your head on his abs and fall asleep.
this one! He looks shy and obedient, like a little puppy type. He looks like a lot of fun!
âWhat about this one? A corporate elite with goldârimmed glasses so cold and aloof, should we have him kneel and serenade you?
âCeline, all of these men are of your harem. Take your pick!â
Adamâs lips pressed into a grim line. He genuinely hadnât known Celine soâcalled âharem of handsome menâ.
At that moment, Celine picked up her phone and replied with a voice message, âAlright, Iâll be there soon.â
When she turned, she saw Adam standing behind her.
She held out the piece of paper in her hand. âMr. Alvarez, this is Grandmaâs medicinal soup recipe. Boll over high heat every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for an hour.
sure she drinks it while itâs still war!
Adam glanced at the paper. So this was what she had been writing earlier? It was a detailed recipe with her neat, delicate handwriting listing various medicinal ingredients.
He at her. âYou know medicine?â
Celine responded nonchalantly little. I studied it.â
Adam didnât take the paper. âFor safetyâs sake, Iâll have a doctor review the recipe.â
Celine wasnât surprised. She knew Adam had never thought mech of her, merely viewing her as a simple girl from the countryside.
She could understand. After all, Adam was a man bom into privilege a golden boy of high society.
Without another word, she placed the recipe on the table, picked up her , and said, âI wonât come to Alvarez Residence anymore. You can find a time to tell Grandma about our divorce.â
With that, she named and walled toward the door.
But Adam grabbed her slender wrist, stopping her in her tracks. Where are you going this late?â
Celine paused, trying to pull her wrist free. âMr. Alvarez, let go.â
Adam stared at her cool, detached face. It was so different from last night Last night, she had been temptress, clinging tightly to him with her captivating eyes, kissing him like a She had been the one teasing him, and now she was pulling away without a second thought.
Adam sneered. âWho are you going to meet this late? The guy with eightâpack abs, the puppy type, or the loot one? Celine, I didnât realize you were so bold. Be careful you end up with something dirty With her wrist still in his grip, Celine swung her free and slapped him hard across the face. Adamâs head turned from the force of the slap, his sharp features momentarily thrown into shadow She had hit him with so much strength her palm stung Adamâs eyes flashed with a dangerous red hue as he pushed her backward. Her knees hit the edge of the bed, and she fell onto the soft mattress, In the next second, the room darkened as Adamâs tall figure loomed over her. He her down, glaring at her from above.
âCeline, are addicted to slapping me?â he asked.
This was the second time she had hit him.
Even Carly wouldnât dare to so. If so much as frowned at Carly, she would rush to appease him.
Who did this woman think he was? Did she really believe she could strike him whenever she pleased?
Celineâs icy gaze met his âSo you do now playing around with multiple partners can lead to STDs. Were you conveniently forgetting that when you offered to find me oneâor severalâpen last night?
froze, momentarily stunned
