Chapter 73
celine returned to Abater Residence When she entered the living room, she saw someone she would never forget Larry Slick
Years ago, Lucy had sent her to the countryside, placing her under Larry’s care. Larryws her so called adoptive father.
Now, Mary and Larry were seated on the living room couch with Mary entertaining him.
“We have you to thank you for raising Orline while she’s in the countryside Mary smiled
Larry was blind in his left eve. He was a burly figure, notorious for his drunken tages and for beating his wife in the past
As he sat on the luxurious couch, his remaining eye rommet greedily over the expensive decor, his gaze lingering on the antique paintings and lavish furnishings. His excitement was barely concealed
However, Larry feigned humility. “You’re too kind, Mrs. Alvarez Senior. I just hope Celine hasn’t caused you any trouble since marrying into your family”
Mary smiled. “How could she? Celine is such a well–behaved girl.”
Larry smirked as though he had thought of something. “Oh yes, Celine has always been a good girl”
Orline felt her stomach chum. A wave of nausea hit her, and she wanted to vomit
Just then, the butler, Alfred, noticed het. “Welcome back, Mrs. Alvarez“
Larry looked up at the sound of the butler’s voice and saw Celine.
It had been ten wars siner Larry had last seen Celme. The little girl he remembered had grown into a graceful woman. His gaze fell on her lace and then slowly trailed downward, his eyes roaming over her slender figure.
Larry stood up, his voice tinged with false affection. “Celine, you’re back. It’s been ten years since we
we last saw each other. I’ve thought about you everyday.”
Mary didn’t catch on and smiled at Celine. “Celine, your adoptive father came to visit you”

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!...
