The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 470

Celine let out a chuckle. "I hate to break it to you, but I doubt you can satisfy Mr. Alvarez. Lately, he's been so on edge that just one touch from me was enough to unravel him completely."

What?

Carly gasped in shock.

Without another word, Celine shifted her gaze and walked into her condominium, closing the door behind her.

The door slammed shut, leaving Carly standing in the cold draft.

Turning to Adam, she demanded, "Adam, what exactly happened between you and Celine?"

Adam, however, wasn't interested in continuing the conversation. Without a word, he turned and walked toward his unit, unlocking the door. "Come in."

Carly stepped inside. It was her first time in Jupiter Heights, and the lavishness of the place left her momentarily speechless.

Just then, Adam's deep, icy voice cut through the silence. "Carly, you insisted on coming here. Now that you're inside, can I finally see the emerald necklace?"

His attention was solely fixed on the necklace.

Prepared for this moment, Carly smiled seductively. "Adam, don't rush. Let me take a hot shower first. Once I'm done, I'll show you the necklace."

With that, she disappeared into the bedroom.

Adam stood in the living room, his patience already wearing thin. However, he wasn't about to act impulsively—he was determined to uncover whatever deception was unfolding before him.

Suddenly, a startled cry echoed from the bedroom.

"Ah!"

Without hesitation, Adam strode forward, gripping the door handle and pushing it open. "Carly, what happened?"

In reality, nothing was wrong. Carly had just finished her shower and was now dressed in Adam's crisp white shirt.
