The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 466

Adam tightened his grip on Carly's hand. "How could I not?"

Carly smiled warmly, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush.

At that moment, the grand doors of the hotel swung open, and Celine walked in, accompanied by Perry.

"Celine, Mr. McCormick is already waiting for us. Let's go," Perry said.

As Celine took a step forward, she suddenly froze. Her eyes fell on two familiar figures.

Perry followed her gaze and saw Adam and Carly, hand in hand, sharing an intimate look.

Perry smirked. "Well, well, Mr. Alvarez certainly knows how to make the most of his time. Last night, he carried you home, and tonight, he's here having a romantic dinner with Carly. He's quite the expert at juggling women."

Shaking his head, he added, "Never would've guessed Mr. Alvarez was such a player."

Celine kept her eyes on the couple as she answered, "No. Mr. Alvarez isn't the type to play games."

Perry glanced at her.

"He has always loved Carly. She's the one he truly cares for, the one who holds his heart. That doesn't make him a player," Celine added.

"Alright, Celine. Let's go."

"Okay."

Celine averted her gaze and followed Perry inside.

Meanwhile, Adam and Carly remained unaware of Celine and Perry's presence.

Letting go of Carly's hand, Adam picked up his knife and fork, cutting into his steak with grace.

"So, Carly, do you remember our first meeting in that cave?" he asked casually.

Carly's hand faltered slightly as she locked eyes with him. "Adam, why are you bringing that up now?"

"It was the first time we met. I've never forgotten it. Have you?"

Carly's breath caught in her chest.

This was the one thing she couldn't fabricate.

Because the emerald necklace had never been hers.

It had always belonged to Celine.

Panic surged through Carly, her heart racing. "Adam, I—"

"Carly," Adam cut in. "I've been asking to see that necklace for years, but you've always come up with some excuse to avoid it. Could it be… that you don't have it after all?"

His voice remained indifferent as he continued, "Because if you don't, how can you prove you're the woman who saved me?"

Carly's heart hammered in her chest. Was Adam really doubting her?

This necklace was the only thing standing between her and total ruin. If he found out the woman in the cave wasn't her, she would lose everything.
