The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Celine stared at Bailey, disbelief etched on her face. “I believe you’ve reached the wrong number…”

Her voice gradually faded as her line of sight became obscured. The tall, dignified figure had stepped into view, casting a powerful shadow before her.

Adam fixed a piercing glare on Hailey before shifting his attention to Celine. “Who started the fight?”

Hailey was so frightened by Adam’s anger that she instinctively stepped back in silence. In her distress, she even pushed Celine forward.

Celine collided with Adam’s strong chest, which felt like a solid wall. Fresh from a management meeting, he exuded an air of authority that intimidated those around him.

Her face instantly flushed red. At the moment, she wished she could glare back at Hailey, whom she saw as a traitor.

Her height was perfectly aligned with Adam’s chest. As he lowered his gaze to meet hers, he commanded, “Stand still!”

She swiftly stepped back.

He ordered, “Keep your head up.”

Celine looked up obediently.

Adam frowned as he noticed Celine’s dirty face. Despite suppressing Elijah with Hailey, he was still very strong as a man.

Celine’s hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in dust. Her clothes were also tom, making her appear pitiful. Yet, she looked up at him with bright, clear

eyes, resembling a kitten’s gaze at night.

Women flocked to the door, peering out with starry eyes, exclaiming, “Wow, he’s so handsome! I think I’m going to faint.”

Adam wore a blank expression, completely ignoring the women around him.

Leo approached and whispered, “Mr. Alvarez, should we keep this private? The Alvarez and Zander families are connected. If you talk to them directly, they might retract their decision to remove Mrs. Alvarez from Yorhine University.”

Adam was visibly upset. Celine had only been at Yorhine University for two days, yet she was causing a lot of trouble. Just then, Adam noticed her looking at him and turned to meet her gaze.

Celine flinched at the intensity of his gaze. Taking a step back, she quickly moved to the side to make way for him. “Mr. Alvarez, you may come in now.”

Adam stepped into the women’s dormitory for the first time, where he was instantly enveloped in a vibrant, feminine atmosphere. The space, shared by Hailey, was adorned in shades of pink, complete with peach–colored heart–patterned bedsheets.

The decor was a stark contrast to Adam’s reserved, mature masculine presence. Celine had lived there since leaving Alvarez Residence.
