Chapter 455
The doorbell rang.
The door was opened moments later, revealing Celine’s delicate and ethereal figure. “Who is it? Mr. Alvarez?”
Celine saw Adam standing at the door.
He took in her appearance. She had changed into a loose, comfortable dress. The glamorous makeup from the gala was gone, revealing an au naturel face.
If she had been dazzling before, now she was effortlessly stunning.
“Celine, do you have a moment?” Adam asked.
Her long lashes fluttered slightly as she replied, “Mr. Alvarez, if you have something to say, just say it.”
“I-”
A familiar male voice called from inside before he could get the words out.
“Who is it, Celine?”
As Adam looked behind Celine, he saw Perry.
Perry stood comfortably in Celine’s apartment, wearing slippers and biting into an apple. “Mr. Alvarez? What a surprise.”
The words Adam had meant to say got stuck in his throat because he hadn’t expected to see Perry there.
Celine said, “Mr. Alvarez, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back inside.”
Adam pursed his lips. Then, he fixed his gaze on Celine and asked, “Is it just you and Perry inside?”
“Is there something strange about that?” Celine countered.
Adam’s distinguished features turned cold in an instant, his expression dark and unreadable.
Just as the tension thickened, a small head peeked out from inside. It was Hailey. “Celine, are you done yet? The food’s about to burn!”
Robin’s voice followed right after. “Celine, hurry up!”
It wasn’t just Perry–Hailey and Robin were there too.
She had attached a photo of the feast, showing an array of dishes that looked delicious and enticing.
In the picture, Celine, Perry, Hailey, and Robin were raising their glasses in a toast, caught in a moment of laughter and celebration.
Adam tapped on the photo and zoomed in, staring at it over and over again.
The night breeze drifted in, crisp and chilling, adding a touch of mysterious allure to his sharp features.
Suddenly, Adam remembered it had been a long time since he last tasted Celine’s cooking.
He knew better than anyone how skilled she was in the kitchen. When he had been in a coma for three years, waking up weak and needing long–term recovery, Celine had carefully prepared every meal for him, waiting for him to come home.
He still remembered the night she first asked for a divorce. That night had been his birthday.
She had cooked an entire meal, waiting for him to come home.
The things he once took for granted were gone, leaving him with an unexpected emptiness and a faint, lingering ache.
Maybe this was the regret of not cherishing something until it was gone.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
