Chapter 457
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. Crap! She had let it slip.
She was too angry and heartbroken for Celine and the baby. In the heat of the moment, she blurted everything out without thinking.
She quickly tried to cover it up. “Huh? Adam, you misheard. I never said anything about a child.”
Adam tightened his grip on the phone and said, “You did. You said I abandoned Celine and the child. Hailey, are you hiding something from me?”
Hailey felt a bit diffident. Luckily, Adam wasn’t standing in front of her. Otherwise, she knew she would give herself away in an instant. Lying had never been her strong suit.
“Adam, I already told you, you misheard. I never said anything about a child. What, are you suddenly interested in having kids now?”
That question caught Adam off guard. He fell silent.
“See? You don’t even like kids, so why are you asking? Anyway, I have things to do. Gotta go.”
She hung up before he could say another word.
As he listened to the disconnected tone, he frowned. He was certain that he hadn’t misheard.
Could Celine be pregnant?
Suddenly, Adam recalled that Celine had asked him if he liked children back then.
He lowered his gaze, glancing at the steel watch on his wrist.
It was already this late, and Perry was staying over at her place.
What were the two of them doing right now?
Without a second thought, Adam turned around, left his apartment, and once again stood in front of Celine’s door.
He reached out and rang the doorbell again.
Moments later, the door opened. This time, it wasn’t Celine. It was Perry.
Perry stood at the doorway, his handsome features calm and composed. He didn’t seem surprised to see Adam. He asked, “Oh, Mr. Alvarez, why are you here again? Are you looking for Celine?”
“Who is it?”
It was Celine.
Adam looked up and saw Celine, fresh from her shower. She had changed into a loose champagne colored nightgown.
The warmth from the bathroom had left her fair cheeks flushed, adding a youthful glow to her features.
Celine paused at the sight of Adam standing at her door. “Mr. Alvarez, why are you here again?”
Perry said, “Yeah, Celine, I was wondering the same thing. I had no idea why Mr. Alvarez is back.”
Celine said, “Mr. Alvarez, If you have something to say, just say it.”
Instead of answering, Adam strode forward, completely ignoring Perry.
In one swift motion, he grabbed Celine’s slender wrist.
“Come with me,” he ordered.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
