The Divorce Prescription
Larry had left. Carly linked arms with Lucy and , âMorn, what kind of leverage does Larry have on Celine?â
Lucy smiled. âCarly, thatâs not something you need to worry about just know that Celine is no match for you. Sheâll end up as nothing more than Larryâs playthingâ
Curly smirked To her, Celine was a mere girl from the countryside. She was only suited for someone like Larry How could she possibly deserve the title of Mrs. Alvarez?
âMom, youâre amazing,â Carly praised.
Lucyâs eyes gleamed. âCarly, your dad hasnât been home for several nights now. Why donât you call him and get him to come back? He listens to you the most.â
Hayden really spoiled Carly like a little princess. He would do whatever she him to do.
Carly nodded. âOkay, Mom Iâll call him right now and make sure he comes home.â
Carly took out her phone and called Hayden Lucy felt at ease. Without Celine in her way, happiness was finally within reach.
In the CEOâs office of Alvarez Group, Adam sat in his black leather chair.
Nathan had come to visit. He took a sip of coffee, lazily leaning against the desk. âAdam, I came here today because Thave a question for you.â Holding a pen in hand, Adam continued reviewing documents. A faint smile played on his lips. â
could possibly be troubling you? Thatâs rare.â
Nathan raised an eyebrow â
, give me some adhdce. How should I pursue Celine?â
He was asking him how to win celineâs heart. Adam paused, his hand holding the pen momentarily still.
âAdam, youâve been with Celine long enough. You know what she likes and wants. You must have some idea of how to win her overâ
Adum put the pen down and looked at Nathan âNathan, as your good friend, let me be honest. You and Celine arenât a good match â
âWhy?â Nathan asked.
âCelineâ¦Sheâs from the countryside. Sheâs uneducated and jobless. At best, sheâs just a pretty face. She has flaws.â
Nathan looked at Adam without saying anything.
Adam looked back at him. âWhat are you staring at me for?
Nathan raised an eyebrow. âAdam, weâve known each other since we were in the womb. This is the first time Iâve seen you speak so harshly about a girl.â Adam parsed his lips slightly at his words.
With his upbringing and manners, he rarely spoke ill of anyone. Even when Nathan had dated a model, Adam kept his opinions to himself.
But his reaction to Celine was different Nathanâs gaze sharpened. âAdam, donât tell me youâre e youâre trying to keep Celine for yourself. Have you fallen for her?â
Adamchucked Fahtly, dismissing the thought âHow could that be?â
How could be fall for Celine? That was impossible.
Nathan nodded. âI guess youâre right. Youâve been with Carly for so many years, so you must planning marry her.â Adamâs handsome face remained calm and emotionless, but he gave a faint nod and replied, âYeah, Chapter &
Adam was set on marrying Carly Thinking about it, Nathan pursuing Celine wasnât impossible. But the of his good friend getting involved with his exâwife didnât sit right with âSo, ametips?What does Celine like?â Nathan pressed.
Adams didnât know what Celine liked either. He had never bought her a gift.
But he did recall an incident when Carly had just returned from abroad, sheâd had her eye on a Chanel bag, and Adam had asked Leo to buy it. The bag had been sent to Lax Garden, where Celine had seen it.
Celine had been delighted, her eyes lighting up as she smiled at him. âThis bag is beautifulâ
It seemed she really liked that bag âShe likes chanel bags,â Adam said, Nathan grinned. âBags, huh? Thatâs easy. Thanks.â
Just then, Benjamin walked in. âAdam, Nate, youâre both here.â
Nathan med to Benjamin. âBenjamin, werenât you at Tate Manor?â
âYeah, I ran into Celine and her adoptive father. Listen here guns, Celine refused to acknowledge her adoptive father. Can you imagine? Sheâs that ungrateful!â
Benjamin proceeded to recount everything that had happened at Tate Manor âNate, canât believe youâre interested someone like Celine. Now you see het troncolorsâa vain, shallow woman who despises the poor and craves wealth!
Nathan hurtowed his brows and looked at Adam. âAdam, whatâs going on between Celine and her adoptive father?â
Adam paused for a moment before replying. âTis not sure.â
Nathan frowned. âBenjamin, sometimes what you see isnât the whole truth. I donât believe Celine is that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding between them.â âMisunderstanding? Nate, are you seriously still defending her? She must have blinded you! Adam, you should talk some sense into him!â
Benjamin was furious. He thought Nathan would distance himself from Celme once he knew about this.
Adamâs dark eyes gave nothing away. He didnât say anything Celine returned to Alvarez Residence. Mary was sitting on the couch waiting for her Celine, youâre . Altred, bring the soup,â she instructed.
Altres brought the soup and handed it to Celine. âMis Alvarez, Mrs. Alvarez Senior asked us to prepare specially for you. Please have it while itâs warm.â
Celine sat down on the couch, smiling sweetly. âThank you, Grandma.â
Mary beamed. âCeline, is everything settled with your father? I thinking of inviting him for dinner tomorrow. After all, weâre family now. We must show som courtesy.
Celineâs eyelashes fluttered slightly, âGrandma, donât worry about my adoptive father. â
her gently, âYou canât say that. Heâs your adoptive father, after allâ
Just then, a maid came over. âMrs. Alvarez, someone just delivered box for you.â
Celine took the box âWho was it from?â
The maid replied, âThey said it was from your adoptive father.â
Larry had sent Celine a box.
Mary said, âCeline, why didnât your adoptive father come in to sit for a while? Hurry, open the box and see what he sent you.â
Celine opened the box to find a photograph. It was a photo from her childhood. She was taking a bath when Larry barged in and snapped the photo.
Celine had quickly grabbed a towel to cover herself, concealing the most critical areas. But her bare shoulders, legs and arms were exposed. Her wet hair clung to her delicate lace, and her wide eyes were tell of fear in the dark environment The image could easily appeal to the wrong crowd.
âCeline, is that a photo your adoptive father sent? Let me have a lookâ Mary reached for the photo, but she didnât manage to take it
