At that moment, Adam stood up. "Mom, I don't see the point in staying for this meal. I'm heading to the office."
Without waiting for a response, he strode out of the room.
"Adam? Adam!" Grace called after him, but he didn't turn back.
Carly watched him leave, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
For the past three years, she had run into countless walls with Adam. Yet, the more unattainable he was, the more she wanted him.
Now that she was the daughter of the wealthiest man in the country, there was nothing she couldn't have.
She walked over to Grace and said, "Mrs. Alvarez, did you see that?"
Grace was furious. "Carly, this is all Adam's fault. Don't worry. I'll make sure he listens to me when we get home."
"Mrs. Alvarez, please don't be too hard on him. If he gets hurt, I'd feel awful."
"Carly, you're too good to him."
"Mrs. Alvarez, this isn't Adam's fault. If anyone's to blame, it's Celine. She's back in Kinthorne again, stirring up trouble with Adam. Everyone knows about the Alvarez-Hampton engagement, but she just had to show up right when we're about to get married. She's manipulative, no doubt about it."
Grace frowned. "That woman is definitely up to something."
"She's worse than that, Mrs. Alvarez. Wasn't she pregnant three years ago? Now, she's back, bringing her daughter along. The father is Perry, yet her daughter clings to Adam, asking him to hold her. Like mother, like daughter. Those two are trying to sink their claws into him!"
"What?" Grace was very shocked. "You're telling me Celine's daughter is clinging to Adam?"
Carly nodded. "I saw it with my own eyes."
Grace said angrily, "Our family have always prided ourselves on a pure and prestigious bloodline. I've been waiting for you and Adam to marry and give me a grandson.
"And now, Celine has the audacity to bring her child into the picture? Does she really think Adam will raise another man's daughter? Not a chance!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
After 3 years….these two are still dumb! Writer please hurry up...
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
