Adam led Celine outside, and Celine pulled her hand out of his palm. "Mr. Alvarez, you should go back. I'm fine at the Hampton residence. I'm planning to stay for a few days."
Adam looked at her. "You're staying at the Hampton residence? You have no blood ties or relationship with Mr. Hampton. Why would you stay here?"
He had already noticed that Nigel treated her differently. For example, no one else was allowed into Nigel's study, yet Celine had appeared inside. It seemed like Nigel was unusually indulgent toward her.
Celine said, "Mr. Alvarez, Mr. Hampton is a good person. You don't need to doubt his character."
"He's a good person? Celine, I'm starting to think you're biased!"
She fell silent for a moment.
She herself didn't know why she had such a good impression of Nigel. It was a kind of fondness that felt like it came from a familial bond, almost like blood ties.
Celine said, "Mr. Alvarez, I came here to save Bella and Mrs. Alvarez."
"How do you plan to save them?"
"Carly has already been put under house arrest. I don't think she'll last long before she slips up!"
Adam frowned. "Celine, why did you act alone? You didn't even tell me before coming to the Hampton residence."
Celine's clear, bright eyes landed on his handsome face. "Mr. Alvarez, you and Carly are engaged, after all. I don't want Bella or myself to get caught up in the arranged marriage between the Alvarez and the Hampton families. Do you know what I mean?"
Of course, he understood. "Celine, I will never marry Carly. I will call off the engagement once I rescue Bella and my mother. It was just a childhood betrothal arranged by our families. I won't marry the Hampton family's heiress!"
She questioned, "You really won't marry the Hampton family's heiress?"
Adam immediately raised his hand in oath. "I swear right now, if I ever marry the Hampton family's heiress, then I—"
Celine quickly grabbed his hand and cut him off. "Mr. Alvarez, don't be so absolute with your words. What if one day you do want to marry the Hampton family heiress?"

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...
