Chapter 200
Following the toast, Carly glanced over to Adam, who was sitting beside her. Throughout the event, he remained silent, not engaging in any discussions with the Tates.
He maintained a remarkably low profile. After Celine departed, he gazed absently in the direction she had gone, lost in thought.
Carly asked, “Adam, what’s wrong? Do you think it’s inappropriate for us to invest in Dr. C’s medical group?”
Adam looked up at Dr. C, who sat across from him. A twinge of guilt washed over Dr. C. Yet, Adam’s eyes remained steady and incisive as if they could see right through him. The encounter with both Adam and Celine moments ago left him feeling unsettled.
Adam simply cast a calm glance in his direction before turning away. “It’s nothing. Just make your own decisions.”
He added, “I need to attend to something else, so I’ll be leaving now.”
After that, he stood up and prepared to depart.
“Mr. Alvarez, why are you leaving? We haven’t had dinner.” Sonia signaled Carly.
Carly knew that Adam was still upset about the photo. Yet, when he learned she was having heart problems, he still rushed over without hesitation.
As she placed her hand over her heart, she looked at him and said, “Adam, my heart is hurting.”
Adam stopped as Carly fell into his arms. “Adam, can you please carry me up to rest?”
“That’s right, Mr. Alvarez. Please take Carly to rest first.”
Adam gazed at Carly’s pale complexion and, after a moment’s hesitation, finally relented. He lifted her into his arms, and together they ascended the stairs. Sonia gazed at Hayden and Lucy. “Since Tracy’s dating Dr. C, and they’ll be getting married soon, will Carly still not be marrying Mr. Alvarez by then?”
Hayden and Lucy were stunned. Adam and Carly’s situation was not going as expected.
Celine didn’t leave Tate Manor right away. Instead, she wandered into the backyard. It was there that a swing, constructed by Aaron just for her, once stood.
As a child, she would sit on that swing, soaring high into the air with Aaron giving her powerful pushes. “Celine is flying high.”
The joyful moments she shared with Aaron lingered vividly in her thoughts. Yet, when she stepped into the backyard, her heart sank as she discovered the swing had vanished. Sonia had ordered its removal.
Gazing at the empty space, Celine felt an overwhelming tightness in her chest, as if a firm hand was squeezing her heart. The loss of that last cherished memory left her feeling profoundly unsettled.
After standing quietly for a while, Celine was ready to leave when two maids approached with a tray of scented candles. As they walked by, she overheard their
conversation.
“Are these scented candles meant for Mr. Alvarez and Ms. Carly’s room?”

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
