The Divorce Prescription Chapter 266

Chapter 266

Adam gazed out the window without turning his head and said, “Leave it in the

eward.”

Leo was hesitant when he spoke again. “Mr. Alvarez, Mrs. Alvarez. No, I mean Ms. Tate, she…”

Before he could finish, Adam interrupted, “We’re already divorced. You don’t need to report

port to me about her anymore.”

Leo froze for a moment before responding respectfully. “Understood.” He then turned and left.

Just then, Carly emerged. She had overheard the conversation. A faint smile played on her lips. She knew Adam had always been decisive. Once he divorced Celine, he would sever all ties with her.

Now, his heart and eyes were

ere only for Catly. She was his true love.

She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him from behind. He didn’t need to look back to know she was there. His gaze shifted from the window to the two delicate, fair hands encircling his waist.

Her right wrist had mostly healed, but a scar remained, marring its beauty. She was a dancer who cherished her appearance above all else.

He held her right wrist gently and said, “I’ve already contacted the best doctors abroad. They’ll help you remove this scar.”

She curved her lips and replied, “No, I want to keep it.”

He turned to face her, asking, “Why?”

“Because it’s a mark of my love for you. I want this scar to remind you

remind you, always, that you must love me.”

She was clever. She wanted this scar to weigh on his conscience forever, a reminder of the night he spent with Celine when it was inflicted. Adam looked at her for a moment, then pulled her into his arms, his hand resting lightly on her shoulder. In a low voice, he said, “It won’t happen again.” She nodded happily. “Adam, when will we get married?” She was eager to become his wife.

He held her close and explained, “Grandma doesn’t know about my divorce with Celine yet. Her health is fragile, and I can’t risk upsetting her. So, we can’t get married for now.”

Carly cursed Mary. If it weren’t for the old lady, she would’ve become Adam’s wife long ago.

On the surface, Carly didn’t act willfully. Instead, she leaned on Adam like a delicate bird and softly said, “I can’t just do nothing and wait. I want to work hard for us. How about you introduce me to the Lamberts? I want to earn their recognition and support.”

Adam’s mother was a daughter of the Lambert family, a prestigious lineage with a century–old heritage and deep roots in Capitol. Carly had long been eager to connect with them.

As long as she secured the Lamberts‘ recognition and backing, even Mary would have no choice but to agree to their marriage.

“Allie is the youngest in the Lambert family, isn’t she? I heard she’s the family’s favorite. Adam, introduce her to me first. I’ll definitely become best friends with her,” Carly said coyly.

Becoming best friends with Allie? Adam looked at Carly, knowing it wouldn’t be that easy. Nevertheless, he didn’t refuse. “Alright. I’ll try.”

“Adam, thank you!” She happily nestled into his arms, a smug smile tugging at her lips..

“Celine, what else do you have to compete with me now?” she thought.

At that moment, a melodious ringtone broke the quiet. It was a phone call from Samuel from Hallard University. Adam answered it immediately.

“Mr. Alvarez, the Pinnacle of Academic Symposium will be held at Mercity’s Centennial Stadium in a few days. Tops minds from around the world will be attending We’d like you and Miss Genius C to represent Haffard University and deliver the keynote speech together.”

Holding his phone, Adam thought, “Am I about to collaborate with Miss Genius Cagain?”
