The Divorce Prescription

Celine said it was too late. She said everything was over.

Adam shook his head. "Celine, it's not too late. As long as you give me another chance, we can still fix this."

Celine pushed him away and wiped the tears from her face. "Mr. Alvarez, you've said everything you wanted to say. You can leave now."

"No, Celine, I—"

Celine placed her hand over her flat abdomen. "Mr. Alvarez, it's late. I'm tired and want to rest. Please leave."

Adam's gaze followed her hand as it rested on her abdomen.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Celine, are you worried about this child? I know he isn't mine, but I'll treat him as my own. I'll love you, and I'll love the child too."

Celine remained silent. He still believed the child wasn't his?

Forget it. There was no need to explain.noveldrama

Once she was done dealing with the Tate family, she would leave. She had no reason to tell Adam anything.

"Mr. Alvarez, please leave now."

Seeing how distant she was, Adam sighed. "Celine, it's late. Get some rest. I'll come back tomorrow."

With that, he left.

Adam stepped out of Celine's apartment and stood outside for a while. He didn't want to leave. He just wanted to stay close to her.

They had already lost so much time. All he wanted now was to spend more time with her to make up for past regrets. He was afraid that the moment he turned around, she` would disappear from his life forever. They had only just found each other again. He didn't want to lose her.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Leo.

Adam answered.

"Sir, Carly has been demanding to see you."

Hearing her name again, Adam's eyes were filled with nothing but coldness and disgust. He didn't want to see Carly, but it was necessary. It was time to settle things between them once and for all.

"I'll be there soon."

...

Leo opened the door to the small, dark room. "Sir, Carly is inside."

Adam stepped in.

The room had barely any lighting. Carly sat in a corner with disheveled hair.

The moment she saw Adam, she tried to stand up in excitement. "Adam, you're here! I knew you would come. There's no way you'd abandon me after all these years together!"

She tried to run to him, but two guards immediately restrained her, preventing her from moving forward.

Leo placed a chair in the center of the room. Adam sat down, looking down at Carly. "What do you want to say?"

"Adam, I admit that I pretended to be

Celine. But you were always so brilliant you stood out among the crowd. The moment I saw you, I fell in love with you. I just wanted to be Celine. I wanted to be loved by you."

Adam put on a cold, mocking smile. "You speak of all these years we've spent together. But were there any feelings between us? The only feelings I've ever had were for Celine. You're just a substitute!"
