The Divorce Prescription Chapter 315
The Divorce Prescription
Adamâs heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before the words could form, his palm suddenly felt emptyâCeline had already pulled her hand away.
She was swept up by a crowd of admirers, all young and successful elites.
Among them was Randall Potter, a fellow Haffard University and a rising star in the tech world, the young CEO of a publicly listed company.
His gaze lingered Celineâs breathtakingly beautiful face, and a playful smile appeared. âCeline, whatâs your relationship status? Are you seeing anyone?
â
Adamâs attention sharpened, his eyes fixed on her.
Celine raised her delicate, arched eyebrows. Her voice was calm as she replied, âSingle. Availableâ
Single. Available.
Those two words seemed to light a sparkle in Randallâs eyes. Wasting no time, he pulled out his phone. âCeline, since weâre fellow , letâs exchange WhatsAppâ
Celine nodded slightly. âSure, Randall.â
The two exchanged WhatsApp contacts, process effortless and casual Adam stood off to the side, watching it all unfold.
His thought drifted to a different time, a time when Celine had rejected his friend request. She hadnât wanted to add him.
But here she was, adding someone else.
Her voice even softened when she addressed him as âRandallâ
But she never called him by his first name. To her, he was only âMr. Alvarez.â
A hollow ache spread through Adamâs chest, gnawing at him with an inexplicable sense of loss.
âCeline!â
Sonia Carly, Tracy, and Lucy had arrived, but they couldnât get close. Celine was in the VIP section, and access was restricted.
The staff quickly stepped forward, holding up their hands to block them. â
, ladies, but you canât go any further.â
Sonia looked up at Celine, visibly emotional, and exclaimed, âIâm here to see Celine! Iâm Celineâs grandmother!â
She had never imagined that Celine, the young woman she always considered the disgrace of the Tates, would one day turn to be a prodigy. She couldnât walt to see her in personL Hearing the commotion, Celine turned her head in their direction.
A staff member quickly approached her spoke respectfully. âMs. Tate, theyâre here to see you. This woman claims to be your grandmother.â
Sonia forced an awkward smile as she stepped forward. âLinny, itâs me, Grandma!â
Linny?
It was the first time she had ever heard Sonia call her that. She couldnât help but let out an incredulous laugh. âGrandma? If I remember correctly, didnât we sever lies about an hour ago?â
Sonia froze, the color draining from her face.
Celineâs gaze shifted past Sonia to Hazel and Tracy, the motherâdaughter pair standing behind her.
Hazel looked deeply uncomfortable, while Tracy, normally so proud and selfâ
Behind them, Lucy and Carly lingered in silence. Their expressions were dark and bitter, their eyes glinting with barely concealed jealousy and resentment as they watched Celine from the shadows.
Hazel tried to smooth things over with a nervous smile. â
, Grandma was just upset earlier. Weâre family, after all.â
there calm and ethereal. She blinked slowly and fixed her gaze directly Sonla âSo what youâre saying is, you all want to be family with Soniaâs face lit up with eager hope. âLinny, weâve always been family-
âBut,â Celine interrupted sharply âthis time, I donât want to be family with you.â
stiffened, her expression freezing as the blow sank in.
Celineâs unyielding gaze swept over the group before her.
These were the people who had hurt her onceâdeeply, irreparably. The scars theyâd left on her heart were etched so painfully that now, all that remained was a glacial indifference âYou abandoned me when I was little. Other kids had grandmothers, mothers, and families.. but I always felt like an orphan You it yourself before, weâve already severed ties. And now, itâs my turn to cut you off.â
Without another glance, Celine turned to the staff member standing nearby. âI donât know these people. Please remove them.â
The staff member nodded briskly. âLadies, Iâm going to have to ask you to leave at once.â
âLinny, you canât do this to usâ¦â
