The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153

He knew she was fast, but he hadn’t expected her to be this fast.

Adam had never faced a real opponent in gaming until Celine. Celine really gave him a run for his money. Their battle was too close to call. This was entirely unexpected for Adam.

Benjamin felt something was off. “Damn! Adam, Celine is actually holding her own against you. Hold steady! You have to hold steady! If you lose, my rank will drop from Pro to Rookie!”

Just as he said this, Leo suddenly walked into the room. “Mr. Alvarez, there’s a call from Alvarez Residence.”

Adam wondered what could have happened at Alvarez Residence. He was momentarily distracted.

In the next second, the game was over. Adam’s well–defined fingers froze mid–movement. He had lost. Taking advantage of his brief distraction, Celine swung her hammer and knocked him out.

He had actually lost to Celine. He had intended to teach her a small lesson, perhaps even make her shed a few tears. Instead, the sound of wailing filled the room. Benjamin stared at his game account in disbelief. “Adam, you lost? Oh no, I’ve dropped to Rookie! Waaaah!”

It had taken him three years to reach Pro, but losing to Celine was all it took to drop to Rookie. Why? Benjamin felt utterly defeated.

Adam said nothing, his mind lingering on the unexpected loss. He found the situation amusing. Pressing his tongue against his handsome right cheek, he let a soft chuckle. She had truly surprised him.

Adam shifted his piercing gaze toward Leo. “What’s going on with Grandma?”

“Mr. Alvarez, the Alvarez Residence called earlier. They mentioned that Mrs. Alvarez’s medicinal soup recipe left for Mrs. Alvarez Senior had gone missing. Mrs. Alvarez Senior is asking you to request another copy from Mrs. Alvarez.”

So Grandma was fine. It was the medicinal soup recipe left by Celine that had gone missing.
