The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1092

"No. There still isn't a way to undo it," Adam said defeatedly.

"Fine. Until your Heartstring Venom is cured, I'll take good care of Celine for you," Nathan said.

Adam shot him a warning look.

Nathan laughed. "Relax. As a friend. There you go being jealous again."

"Celine has plenty of friends. She doesn't need you!" Adam said.

Nathan went silent for a beat.

"I'm stepping out to make a call," Adam said, standing before leaving the room.

Nathan looked around the huge private room, now empty except for him.

Just great. He resigned himself to drinking coffee.

Outside, Adam really was making a call. He pulled out his phone and dialed a familiar number.

A moment later, Martin's voice came through. "Adam? What made you call this old man today?"

The two families had been close for generations. Martin Lynch had practically watched Adam grow up.

Adam smiled. "Mr. Lynch Senior, Nathan came back today. I'm having dinner with him now."

"That brat came back without warning? Did he bring Michelle with him?" Martin really liked Michelle.

"No. He came back alone!" Adam said.

"What a brat. He's already married yet still acts single. I'm waiting for great-grandchildren!" Martin said.

She cut him off quickly. "Mr. Alvarez, he and I are just friends. Stop assuming the worst!"

Adam reached out and pinched her cheek lightly. "I'm not worried."

She stared at him. "Then why did you come after us? Didn't the curse flare up?"

She took his wrist and checked his pulse. "Let me see."

Her brows knitted almost instantly. "Adam, did you take painkillers again?"

He knew he couldn't hide it. Celine was a doctor, after all. He rubbed her hair gently. "I'm fine!"

She pushed his hand away. "Don't say you're fine. Those painkillers have serious side effects. They're hurting you!"
