Nigel looked at Carly. "Carly, say something."
What could Carly say? If she kept resisting, her father would really start getting suspicious.
She said, "I made plans with Melody to go dancing at a bar. I just want to go out and have fun."
Nigel frowned. "No, it's too late. You're not going anywhere. Go back to your room and get some rest."
Carly protested, "Dad, I—"
He interrupted, "Your mother will be coming back to see you in the next couple of days."
What? She was stunned. "My mom is coming back? Isn't she dead?"
He replied, "She never died. She's coming back to see you."
Carly was stunned. She had always thought Fiona was dead. But now, she had somehow come back to life.
If Fiona returned, would her secret be exposed?
Celine was Fiona's biological daughter. The bond between a mother and daughter was far stronger than that between a father and daughter. Now that Celine was living in the Hampton residence, wouldn't her true identity be exposed?
Celine looked at Carly. "Ms. Hampton, your mother is coming back. Why don't I see even a trace of joy on your face?"
Carly hated—no, absolutely despised—Celine!
"I was abandoned in Mercity when I was little. I blame my father. And I blame my mother, too!" Carly retorted.
With that, she turned and stormed inside.
Celine smirked slightly.
Carly was pretty clever, after all. She instantly triggered Nigel's guilt toward his daughter with just a few words. Now, he would only love and spoil her more to make up for it.
Nigel glanced in the direction Carly had left, then turned to Celine beside him.
"Ms. Tate, you're really making yourself at home in the Hampton family. You even dared to barge into my study."

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...
