Celine was momentarily speechless.
She stared at Adam, struggling to process his words. Had he really just said he was willing to be a homewrecker?
A man like him—powerful, influential, and surrounded by women—had no reason to stoop to this level. Yet here he was, stepping down from his pedestal, making such a bold and reckless declaration.
On the other end of the call, Perry was just as stunned.
"Mr. Marshall, I have things to handle. I'll be hanging up now."
Without a second thought, Adam ended the call.
When he turned back to Celine, she was still staring at him. Her wide eyes were filled with disbelief. His lips curled into a smirk. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Celine blinked, composing herself. "Mr. Alvarez, there was no need to say those things to Perry. It will only lead to unnecessary misunderstandings."
Adam reached out, his fingers gently cupping her chin. "Every word I said was the truth. Why shouldn't I say it? Or are you afraid this will make things harder for you? That you won't be able to explain yourself to Perry?"
"Both."
"There's a way to solve both problems at once."
"And what would that be?"
"Divorce Perry and marry me."
Celine met Adam's gaze steadily, pausing for a moment before speaking. "Mr. Alvarez, perhaps you should first consider your relationship with Carly. The marriage agreement between the Hampton and Alvarez families is inevitable."
Adam opened his mouth, seemingly ready to argue. "I—"
"Mr. Alvarez," Celine cut him off, "Bella and Mrs. Alvarez are still missing. I know you've sent your men out to search for them, but I don't want to discuss anything else right now. Their safe return is the only thing that matters. Can we focus on that?"
Adam nodded. "Alright. Once Bella and my mother are back, we'll address everything else."

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...
