Chapter 111
Honestly, she had already gotten used to it all these years. As she wandered through life, she grew up along the way.
However, compared to suffering, warmth brought more tears to her eyes.
Mary hugged Celine, patting her back gently like comforting a child. “Silly girl, why are you so formal with me?”
“Grandma, I want to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
Outside the door, Adam watched as Celine clung to Mary’s shoulder. Her lashes fluttered, and silent tears rolled down her cheeks. “Grandma, I can’t stay here anymore. I have to leave.”
Mary froze in shock. “Why? Did that rascal Adam bully you again? I’ll teach him a lesson right now!”
Alfred immediately handed over a cane. “Madam, use this!”
Mary grabbed it. “Celine, you’re not going anywhere. Why should you leave? I’ll make him leave instead!”
Adam was speechless.
Was he the biological grandson here, or was he adopted?
The same went for Alfred. It was like he had forgotten who the rightful heir was.
Celine’s soft voice sounded as she said, “Grandma, you have misunderstood me. Adam didn’t bully me. He… He’s very nice to me.”
Mary didn’t believe it. “Really?”
Adam watched as Celine raised her small hand to hastily wipe away the tears on her face. Hugging Mary tightly, she spoke with a cheerful tone. “Of course it’s true. Don’t worry, I wasn’t finished. Adam is sending me to Yorhine University. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be living on campus, so I won’t be able to stay here anymore.”
Mary was stunned. “Adam is sending you to Yorhine University? That’s good! It’s a famous university. He finally did the right thing for once.”
Celine let go of Mary. “Grandma, I’m going tomorrow.”
“Then I shall go with you.”
She looked so heartbreakingly fragile.
Adam said, “I’ll have the driver send you.”
“Thank you, but it’s fine, Mr. Alvarez.”
With that, Celine left without looking back.
Adam watched as the mansion’s gate swung open, her slender figure quickly swallowed by the darkness outside. She vanished into the night without a trace,
A heavy, suffocating feeling settled in his chest. With a sharp tug, he loosened the tie around his neck, as if it might help him breathe easier.
So be it. He should let her go.
After all, she was just a stand–in bride, an unplanned twist in his life. He admitted he’d been momentarily lost, drawn to her in a fleeting haze of desire. But he didn’t care for her.
The one he liked and wanted was Carly.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
How can this be,Carly always gets away with everything and Celine intelligence is not working her at all....
Just as I thought. This could go on a few more chapters. But the bond between Fiona amd Celine is undeniable. Even without knowing that they are mother and daughter. Though I'm totally confused. Isn't there any resemblance between Celine and her parents? How couldn't they tell that she was their daughter?...
As expected of the dna results in favor of the wicked carly again.. so frustrating...
I hope the writer of this story will not prolong this…..what happened to the DNA…...
Can you upload more chapters per day, each chapter is very short you always keep us hanging...
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
