Chapter 457
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. Crap! She had let it slip.
She was too angry and heartbroken for Celine and the baby. In the heat of the moment, she blurted everything out without thinking.
She quickly tried to cover it up. “Huh? Adam, you misheard. I never said anything about a child.”
Adam tightened his grip on the phone and said, “You did. You said I abandoned Celine and the child. Hailey, are you hiding something from me?”
Hailey felt a bit diffident. Luckily, Adam wasn’t standing in front of her. Otherwise, she knew she would give herself away in an instant. Lying had never been her strong suit.
“Adam, I already told you, you misheard. I never said anything about a child. What, are you suddenly interested in having kids now?”
That question caught Adam off guard. He fell silent.
“See? You don’t even like kids, so why are you asking? Anyway, I have things to do. Gotta go.”
She hung up before he could say another word.
As he listened to the disconnected tone, he frowned. He was certain that he hadn’t misheard.
Could Celine be pregnant?
Suddenly, Adam recalled that Celine had asked him if he liked children back then.
He lowered his gaze, glancing at the steel watch on his wrist.
It was already this late, and Perry was staying over at her place.
What were the two of them doing right now?
Without a second thought, Adam turned around, left his apartment, and once again stood in front of Celine’s door.
He reached out and rang the doorbell again.
Moments later, the door opened. This time, it wasn’t Celine. It was Perry.
Perry stood at the doorway, his handsome features calm and composed. He didn’t seem surprised to see Adam. He asked, “Oh, Mr. Alvarez, why are you here again? Are you looking for Celine?”
“Who is it?”
It was Celine.
Adam looked up and saw Celine, fresh from her shower. She had changed into a loose champagne colored nightgown.
The warmth from the bathroom had left her fair cheeks flushed, adding a youthful glow to her features.
Celine paused at the sight of Adam standing at her door. “Mr. Alvarez, why are you here again?”
Perry said, “Yeah, Celine, I was wondering the same thing. I had no idea why Mr. Alvarez is back.”
Celine said, “Mr. Alvarez, If you have something to say, just say it.”
Instead of answering, Adam strode forward, completely ignoring Perry.
In one swift motion, he grabbed Celine’s slender wrist.
“Come with me,” he ordered.

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....
