The Divorce Prescription
Carly looked stunning in the lace dress, but her betrayed a hint of discomfort, it felt far too tight around her waist..
Earlier, in the fitting room, sheâd had to hold her breath and suck in her stomach just to get the zipper up.
Now, holding the hem of her dress, Carly spun around in front of Adam. âAdarn, do I look good?â
Adam glanced at her but didnât say a word.
Nevertheless, Lacy was quick to fill the silence, her voice full of enthusiasm. âOf course! My Carly looks amazing! How could she become the ballerina? Sheâs leagues at those housewives â
Just as Lucy finished speaking, there was a loud ârip!â The unmistakable sound of fabric tearing echoed through the room.
Carlyâs lace dress had split open at the waist Lucy froze midâbreath.
Carly let out a sharp scream, her hands flying to her waist in an attempt to cover the damage. Her dress had ripped! How could something this embarrassing happen, especially in front of Adam and Celine?
The store assistant looked uncomfortable as she explained, âThis lace dress isnât the right size for her. She needs one size up In theory, there wasnât anything wrong with wearing a size up, but Carlyâs pride couldnât take it. She felt like she might explode from sheer mortification. Perry, unable to hold back, burst into laughter. âMs. Carly, is this the size you normally wear? If it is, you mustâve gained weight recently. Your waistâs gotten bigger.â
Carlyâs Lace turned ashen. She didnât respond.
Perry added with a smirk, âBut donât take it too personally. Even though youâre the ballerina and work hard to maintain your figure, Celine has had a naturally tiny waist since she was a kid. Thatâs just something you canât compete with.â
Carly froze, her silence heavy. Another blow had landed. Her gaze fell on Celine, burning with anger.
âCeline, did you do this on purpose? You knew I couldnât fit into this lace dress, and you it to me ! You just wanted to humiliate me!â
Celine blinked, her expression calm and innocent. âCarly, the weight is on your body, not mine. If you didnât know, how could I?â
Carly opened her mouth to retort, but no words came. She was completely speechless.
Before she could recover, Adamâs deep, magnetic cut through the tension like a blade. âThatâs enough â
Carly looked up, meeting Adamâs cold, piercing gaze. His expression was indifferent, and his tone was distant. âStop making a sceneâ Lucy quickly stepped in âCarly, go change out of that dress right .â
Carlyâs face drained of color. She lovew sheâd embarrassed herself completely in front of Adam this time. Without another word, she turned and stormed off toward the fitting room, her steps heavy with reluctance. Perry sling ber arm casually around Celineâs shoulder. âCeline, letâs go. Letâs check out some other stores.â Celine had seen enough of the and didnât feel like Lingering âSure! Letâs go,â she salt, As the two of them walked toward the exit, they stopped in front of Tracy and Sonia.
ask Dr. C for . Letâs see if they actually give it Celine turned to them âMrs. Tate Senior, Tracy, hereâs a piece of advice. Tonight, you might want to a to â
Perryâs brow furrowed in confusion. âDr. C?â
Sonia and Tracy suddenly perked up. Watching Carlyâs humiliation had been painful, but now they saw an opportunity to recover their pride. Tracy smarked smugly. âThatâs right, Mr. Marshall. Dr. C is my boyfriend now.
Sorpla added with air of triumph, âAnd my future grandsonâinâlaw â
Perry let out a disbelieving laugh, âMrs. Tate Senior, Ms. Tracy, you must be mistaken. Dr. Cisnât a man, Dr. C is a woman.â
