Celine immediately tensed up and asked, "What's wrong? What happened, Bella?"
Bella giggled. "I just miss you. When I go to bed without seeing you, I secretly cry."
Celine's lips curled into a smile. She hugged Bella tightly. "I miss you, too."
Grace looked at Celine. "Celine, you're here?"
Celine stood up and asked, "Mrs. Alvarez, are you okay?"
Grace shook her head. "I'm fine."
At that moment, Carly shouted, "Celine! How did you find this place? Don't tell me… you followed me?"
Celine's clear, sharp eyes landed on Carly's face. "Congratulations, Ms. Hampton. You guessed it. That's right, I followed you here. I knew that if I restricted your freedom, you'd find a way to sneak out. I've been lying in wait for a long time."
Carly clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Celine had outplayed her. She had lost.
Celine asked, "Ms. Hampton, do you have anything else to say?"
Carly hesitated. "I…"
Just then, Adam walked in. He looked at Carly and said coldly, "Carly, I never thought you'd be this deranged—kidnapping Bella and my mother. If you could commit kidnapping and attempted murder today, who knows what you'll do tomorrow?"
Carly's face turned pale. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Adam's sleeve. "Adam, let me explain! I only wanted to kidnap Celine's daughter. I never meant to hurt your mother…"
Grace interrupted her coldly. "Carly, stop making excuses. Have you already forgotten how you were about to silence us for good? Because I haven't!"
Carly stammered, "I… Adam, I just love you too much! I don't want to lose you. That's why I had no other choice!"

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...
