Adam chose Carly.
Just then, with a soft click, the apartment door opened—and Celine appeared at the doorway.
The commotion between Adam and Carly in the hallway had been too loud. Celine heard the noise and decided to come out and check.
And what she saw was Adam holding Carly in a tight embrace. She froze for a moment.
Adam, hearing the sound, released Carly and turned to look at her.
Their eyes met.
Adam felt an inexplicable, sharp pain in his chest. For some reason, letting go of Celine brought him great pain.
Carly, on the other hand, smirked triumphantly before letting out a delicate whimper.
Adam immediately looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Carly looked at him with pitiful puppy eyes. "Adam, my legs feel numb… I can't walk."
Then, she stretched out her arms. "Carry me, Adam."
Without hesitation, he scooped her up in his arms.
Under Celine's gaze, he carried Carly into his apartment.
Carly glanced over her shoulder and flashed a victorious smile at Celine.
Her expression said it all. "You'll never be my match!"
With a slam, Adam shut the door behind him.
Their figures disappeared from view.
Celine's expression remained cold and emotionless. Whatever existed between Adam and her was over.
She lowered a hand to her flat stomach, gently resting it there for a moment before turning away and heading back inside.
Inside the apartment, Adam placed Carly on the bed.
"Adam, since you've chosen me, you have to protect me, especially with my heart condition getting worse. Celine demanded we hand over the people responsible for her father's death. You have to help us out on this matter. Also, you need to make sure Celine treats my heart condition."
Getting Celine to agree to perform the surgery would be the most difficult challenge at this point.
Adam gently removed her hands and spoke softly, "Carly, we're not married yet. I want to save the best for our wedding night."
Carly's eyes lit up.
"Of course! Adam, after my heart condition is treated, you'll marry me! I'll give you a child… two children… No, I'll give you a whole football team!"
Adam chuckled indulgently and said, "Get some rest. I'll be in the study reviewing documents."
"Okay!"
As Adam left the bedroom, Carly sat up on the bed, smiling smugly.
Thankfully, she had acted quickly and stolen the emerald necklace from Celine's apartment earlier. Now, she had the evidence to prove that she was Adam's savior.
With this trump card in her hand, Adam would never abandon her.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Lucy.
Carly accepted the call and immediately heard Lucy's anxious voice coming through.
"Carly, how are things progressing with you and Mr. Alvarez?"

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....
