The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 

Celine couldn’t help but wonder what Adam meant by that After all, he had inhaled the traces of aphrodisiac–why would she refuse to help? 

She paused for a moment, then it clicked. Her face tamned bright red, and she quickly waved her hands in embarrassment.
