The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 547

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?"

She shook her head. "I'm fine."

Adam's gaze darkened as he watched Perry's hand rest on her shoulder. His fingers curled into a fist at his side.

Celine leaned into Perry, resting her head against his chest. "Perry, let's go home."

Perry looked at Adam and said politely, "Mr. Alvarez, thank you for bringing Celine home. We'll be leaving now. Goodbye."

With that, he held Celine close and walked away.

Adam stood frozen in place, watching them.

He had seen every bit of Celine's intimacy with Perry. No matter how hard he tried to reach her, she was no longer his.
