Adam said firmly, "Hey, I'm a man, you know. There's no way I wouldn't mind with you dressed up so stunningly tonight!"
When he had walked in earlier and seen her in that dress, standing in front of those men, he had to fight the urge to make all of them disappear for good.
Celine gave him another glare—one that clearly urged him to focus on saving Bella and Grace first.
Just then, Leo walked over and greeted, "Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Tate."
Celine's expression tensed. "Any updates? Did you catch the kidnapper?"
Leo shook his head. "We've searched the private winery inside and out. No suspicious person was found."
Celine's heart sank. "She got away again!"
She was disappointed but not surprised. If Carly had dared to walk into this winery, she clearly had an escape route ready.
Carly had slipped through their fingers once again.
Adam suggested, "Let's go home."
Celine nodded. "Okay."
…
By the time Adam and Celine returned to the office, the sky was already dark.
Adam asked, "So you're saying… Carly was the kidnapper?"
Celine nodded. "Yes, I'm certain it was Carly, but I have no proof."
Adam furrowed his brows in silence.
Celine stood up. "Mr. Alvarez, you don't believe me, do you? I don't have any evidence, so it's only natural for you to doubt me. After all, Carly is your fiancée. If I were you, I'd probably believe my fiancée too."
With that, she turned to leave.

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...
