The Divorce Prescription Novel Free Online

Chapter 220 Leo brought the Rolls Royce to a smooth stop .

Adam turned his sharp gaze toward Nikki .

Get out .

He was leaving her on the side of the road .

Nikki climbed out of the car .

But before she could even process what had just happened , the luxury vehicle roared to life and sped off , leaving her in a cloud of exhaust fumes .

Furious , Nikki stomped her foot , her frustration simmering beneath the surface .

Meanwhile , Celine had already arrived at Alvarez Residence .

She sat comfortably on the living room couch , chatting casually with Mary .

Before long , the grand front doors swung open .

A gust of cold air swept through the room , carrying with it the commanding presence of a tall , elegant figure .

Adam had returned .

The housekeeper greeted him with a polite bow .

Good evening , Mr.

Alvarez .

At the entrance , Adam exchanged his shoes for house slippers , his long strides carrying him toward the living room .

His dark eyes fell on Celine .

The two hadnt seen each other since that day in the campus infirmary She had grown thinner since then , and her already petite frame seemed even more fragile now .

Her strikingly beautiful face had taken on an ethereal , almost distant quality .

She was still dressed in her uniform , having come straight from the university .

A crisp white blouse tucked neatly into a plaid skirt layered under a fitted jacket .

Her jet black hair was pulled into a high ponytail , giving her a fresh , youthful appearance .

She looked every bit the image of innocent college charm .

Adams gaze lingered briefly on her , but he said nothing .

Adam , youre back .

Lets eat , Mary called .

The three of them gathered in the dining room .

Mary took her usual seat at the head of the table , while Adam and Celine sat across from each other .

A housekeeper approached , carefully setting a steaming bowl of soup in front of Adam .

He picked up his spoon and took a sip , only to pause with a slight frown .

Grandma , what is this soup ? Mary smiled mischievously .

Its fertility soup , good for your health .

Adam was momentarily speechless .

Adam , do you remember what I told you last time ? Youre not getting any younger , Its time for you and Celine to give me a great -grandchild .

Now hurry up and finish that soup , I want to hold a great grandbaby tonight .

Adams gaze rested on Celine from across the dining table .

She lifted her eyes to meet his briefly before turning to Mary .

Grandma , I have to go back to campus tonight , she said softly .

Mary blinked in surprise .

Celine , you rarely come home .

Cant you stay the night ? Grandma , Ive been busy with my coursework lately , Celine replied .

Mary reached over to place a piece of sweet vinegar pork ribs onto Celines plate .

Celine , youve lost weight recently .

Eat more After dinner , let Adam drive you back .

Adams gaze lingered on Celine .

She didnt respond to Marys suggestion .

Instead , she lowered her long lashes , quietly picked up the piece of pork ribs with her fork , and took a small bite .

20 There was something about her quietness tonight , and it tugged at something deep in Adams chest .

After dinner , Celine rose from her seat .

Adam grabbed his car keys and followed her out the door .

As they walked side by side , a faint scene drifted toward Celine .

Sweet , ripe peaches .

It was the same perfume Nikki always wore .

Earlier , in the VIP hospital room , Nikki had sprayed this exact perfume with an almost smug air , mentioning that her boyfriend was coming to pick her up .

Celines face turned pale .

The realization hit her like a cold gust of wind .

It all made sense now .

In all of Mercity , the only person powerful enough to launch Nikkis meteoric rise was Adam , the citys wealthiest man .

Adam was Nikkis sugar daddy .

Celine had suspected it for a while , but deep down , she hadnt wanted to believe it .

The two of them continued walking across the expansive lawn toward the sleek luxury car parked ahead .

Breaking the silence , Adam asked casually , What made you decide to come home tonight ? Mr.

Alvarez , do you have time tomorrow ? Adam glanced at her .

Why ? Lets go to city hall and get a divorce , she said .

Adam froze mid step .

Celine stood her ground , her delicate features unwavering .

Adam , I want a divorce .

I dont want to wait even one more day .
