It was currently 8:00 pm. Nathan hadn't gone home, nor had he told her in advance. Strangely, she hadn't even sent a WhatsApp message to ask where he was.
She claimed to love him, but outside of the bedroom, he felt no affection. Did she just want him for his body?
Nathan allowed himself a thin, humorless smile. "My wife enjoys her privacy," he explained. "She avoids these social events. However, she'd be very unhappy to smell another woman's perfume on me."
Derik laughed. "It sounds like Mrs. Lynch loves you very much, Mr. Lynch! You have a truly solid marriage."
Irene felt a flush of awkward humiliation at being so thoroughly ignored.
She had come here tonight hoping to attract a wealthy man. She didn't care if Nathan was married. In her experience, that was a solvable problem. If she could just get a foothold with Nathan, she was sure she could eventually replace his wife.
However, he wasn't giving her a single chance.
Nathan turned to Irene and handed her a token. "Get me a pack of cigarettes and charge it to my tab."
This was his way of offering her a graceful exit.
Irene picked up the token. "Yes, Mr. Lynch. I'll go now."
After Irene left, Derik shook his head with a laugh. "Mr. Lynch, you really don't know how to treat a lady, do you?"
Nathan smiled to himself. Every man knew how to be gentle with a woman, but it depended entirely on which woman. He was very particular about such things. He would never get involved with women from places like this, especially not one like her.
His preference had always been consistent. He preferred women like Celine and Michelle, who were a combination of intelligence and beauty. A merely pretty face couldn't interest him.
As Irene stepped into the hallway, Wendy Anderson immediately approached her. "Irene, is it true you were just with Mr. Lynch?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
