The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 548

Hailey stood beside Adam and sighed. "Adam, did you see that? You've hurt Celine deeply, and now, she has moved on to someone else."

Even as Celine walked away with Perry, she could still feel Adam's gaze lingering on her.

Perry glanced down at Celine and chuckled. "Celine, what's going on with you today? Were you putting on a show for Mr. Alvarez?"

Celine lifted her head from Perry's chest and looked up at him. "Perry, I can never hide anything from you, can I?"

"What's the deal between you and Mr. Alvarez?"

"Carly is the heiress of the Hampton family, and there's a marriage alliance between the Hamptons and the Alvarezes. Adam is supposed to marry Carly. Grace is flying to Mercity tomorrow, and I'm sure she's coming to push Adam and Carly together."

Perry raised an eyebrow. "So, you were being affectionate with me to make Adam give up?"

"Perry, Adam and I are over. There's no need for him to struggle over this, and I don't want to be involved anymore," Celine replied.

Perry nodded. "Celine, I just hope that's truly how you feel."

"Of course, it is," Celine said, gently placing a hand on her lower abdomen and stroking it softly.

Perry's gaze fell on her stomach. "So, you're still not planning to tell Mr. Alvarez about the baby? He still thinks this child is mine. When he saw us together just now, he probably assumed we were a family of three."

Celine lowered her gaze. "He doesn't need to know."

Perry smiled. "Celine, you used to want to tell him. After all, Mr. Alvarez has the right to know about his child, and the child has the right to know who their father is. But now, you're more determined than ever not to tell him. You're afraid he'll be caught in a dilemma because of the baby, aren't you? Deep down, you still have feelings for him."

Celine quickly looked up, denying it, "I don't…"

Perry nodded. "Alright. Besides, Carly is heading back to the Capitol soon, and I'm guessing Mr. Alvarez will be going back as well."

Celine stroked her belly and smiled faintly. "That's fine. One day, I'll go to the Capitol and find them."

…

The next day, Grace arrived in Mercity as scheduled. She had flown in on a private jet, and Sofia pushed her wheelchair as they entered the airport terminal.

Adam had come to pick her up. As he stepped forward, he greeted her, "Mom."

Grace sat in her wheelchair. She was dressed impeccably, exuding the air of a noblewoman. Her meticulously styled hair and pearl earrings hinted at the beauty of her youth.

However, years of an unhappy marriage and a tragic past had cast heavy shadows over her features. Grace's expression was stern, and her eyes were cold and sharp, reflecting her harsh demeanor.
