The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Celine had arrived.

After a full day of splurging at the mall, Robin whisked her off to Club 1996 for the ultimate single-woman celebration.

What Celine didn't expect was to run into Adam and his group. Naturally, she also heard their mocking remarks about her.

She recognized the people in the luxurious booth. They were part of Adam's social circle. Benjamin, in particular, was one of Adam's closest friends.

Back when Adam and Carly had their high-profile romance, everyone in the group adored Carly. Benjamin even treated her like Adam's wife.

In the past three years, Celine had never been able to integrate into their group. They made no effort to hide their disdain for her.

They'd slapped labels on her like "desperate replacement bride", "ugly duckling", and "country bumpkin".

When a man didn't love her partner, his friends wouldn't respect her either.

Robin's temper flared immediately. "I'm going to tear their smug faces off!" She started rolling up her sleeves.

Celine grabbed her arm firmly. "Let it go, Robin. I'm divorced now. They're not worth the energy."

Noticing Celine's calm and indifferent demeanor, Robin managed to rein in her frustration. As more and more eyes turned to Celine, calling her an angel, Robin's mood brightened. "Let's go. Time for a singles party!"

Robin marched them to a luxury booth on the other side of the club. She waved her hand dramatically. "Bring me all your male escorts!"

Back at Adam's booth, Benjamin and the other scions were still mocking Celine when they suddenly felt a sharp, icy gaze land on them.

They looked up to see Adam at the head of the booth, lazily lifting his sharp eyes to glance at them. His gaze was cold, displeased, and full of warning.

At once, the laughter froze on their faces. None of them dared to say another word about Celine.

Benjamin glanced at Adam. Even though Adam had never spared Celine a second look, she had tirelessly taken care of him for three years. Clearly, Adam still had some shred of sentiment left for her.

Just then, a wave of excitement rippled through the crowd. "Such a beautiful angel!"

Angel? Where?

Benjamin followed everyone's gaze and immediately widened his eyes in surprise. "Holy crap! That really is an angel!"

The others around him were equally mesmerized. "When did an angel arrive in Mercity? And how come we've never seen her before?"

Benjamin tugged at Adam's sleeve. "Adam, look at that angel!"

Adam was no stranger to women. He'd seen all types, from slender to curvy, so he wasn't interested in that "angel".

However, Celine's booth was directly across from his. The moment he looked up, his eyes landed on her.

Celine had ditched her thick-rimmed glasses, shedding her usual dullness and rigidity. Her tiny face was as fair as snow. Her naturally striking features exuded a fresh, otherworldly elegance. With her silky hair cascading over her shoulders, she looked like a living, breathing angel.

Adam's gaze lingered for two full seconds.

Benjamin was clearly thrilled. "What do you think of that angel, Adam?"

One of the scions remarked, "Mr. Alvarez won't be impressed. His type is more of a sweet beauty like Carly, not this cool, angelic vibe."

"Yeah, but check out her legs! Those could definitely compete with Carly's," another added.

Celine, in a rare departure from her usual conservative style, was wearing a chic, short tweed dress that showed off her legs for the first time.

Her legs were perfectly toned, proportionate, and tantalizing. These were the kind of legs that made men's imaginations run wild. They were just as captivating as Carly's.

Adam glanced at the "angel" for two seconds and couldn't shake the feeling that this woman looked strangely familiar. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
