When Adam heard the mention of Celine, his heart tightened. "Mom," he began cautiously.
Grace scolded, "Adam, I've told you before—I can turn a blind eye to the women around you, but don't get attached. This time, Mr. Hampton himself called to say you're refusing to marry Ms. Hampton because of this Celine. Is that true?"
Adam was honest. "Yes, it's true. Celine is the woman I love. I won't marry anyone else."
"You fool!" Grace snapped angrily. "Adam, you've been bewitched by this Celine! The marriage agreement between the Hampton and Alvarez families must be honored. Now that Ms. Hampton has returned, you need to prepare and marry her as soon as possible."
Adam frowned. "Mom..."
"Adam, I've already arranged for a private jet. I'll be arriving in Mercity tomorrow."
With that, the line went dead. Grace had hung up.
Adam stood outside for a moment, collecting his thoughts. Then, he got back into the car, started the engine, and said, "Celine, I'll take you home."
Celine nodded. "Alright."
Hailey curiously asked, "Mr. Alvarez, what did your mom say to you just now?"
Adam glanced at the rear-view mirror and met Celine's clear gaze. She was looking at him too.
After a brief pause, he replied, "My mother is coming to Mercity tomorrow."
He didn't elaborate on why.
Hailey's eyes widened. "Your mother is coming to Mercity? She has spent years in seclusion, rarely leaving her estate. She dislikes socializing and barely interacts with others. I can't believe she's actually coming here."
She turned to Adam. "Adam, you've been in Mercity for a long time now. Shouldn't you be returning to the Capitol soon?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
