Now that Fiona had returned, Nigel felt overwhelmed.
Anne gently asked, "Nigel, what's wrong? Are you feeling ill again? Why don't you sit down and let me massage your head?"
Nigel often suffered from headaches, so Anne had even learned how to massage from a professional.
However, Nigel refused. "I need to meet Fiona for lunch. I'll head to my study first."
With that, he headed upstairs.
As Anne watched him leave, her heart was filled with jealousy and frustration. When the Jakeman and Hampton families had united through marriage, Fiona had captured Nigel's attention with her bright and bold personality.
Despite his calm exterior, Fiona had drawn him in.
For the years Fiona disappeared, Nigel had tirelessly searched for her and their daughter. He never stopped looking.
Meanwhile, Anne had stayed by his side all this time, yet she had received nothing in return. She was unwilling to accept this. With Fiona's return, their rivalry was about to start again.
Years ago, Anne had defeated Fiona once, and now, she was determined to win again.
…
Celine took Bella to Alvarez Residence, where they both had hot baths and changed into clean clothes.
Celine took Grace's pulse. "Mrs. Alvarez, your leg is healing well. If you continue with your exercises, you'll be able to walk normally again."
Grace was happy. "Celine, thank you."
"Poisoned?" Celine asked.
"Yes, Fiona was poisoned. She used all her strength to give birth and, to keep her daughter safe, she entrusted her to her student, Hayden, asking him to take her far away. The poison and the stress of childbirth put Fiona into a coma.
"I was also giving birth at the time, and it wasn't until after I had Adam that I learned Fiona had disappeared. She was gone for over 20 years, but I always knew she wouldn't die. She's finally back!"
Celine now understood the situation. Fiona had been pregnant and targeted by someone who wanted to harm both her and her baby. She had narrowly survived, sent her daughter away, and then disappeared herself.
Celine asked, "Mr. Alvarez, where is Fiona meeting Carly?"
Adam replied, "Mr. Hampton has arranged it at the Atlas Hotel."
Celine smirked. "I think I'll meet Mrs. Hampton at the Atlas Hotel!"

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....
