The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 439

Celine sat up. "Perry, I'm fine. The baby and I are both fine."

She would never let anything happen to her child. The only reason she had any complications was because of the stress from the kidnapping.

Perry studied her carefully. "Celine, you're still carrying Adam's child. Are you really not going to tell him?"

She curled her lips into a self-mocking smile. "You saw it yourself, Perry. Adam had no hesitation when choosing between me and Carly. He chose her without a second thought. Telling him won't change anything. It's better if he never knows. I can raise this baby on my own just fine."

Perry let out a sigh. He didn't push the issue, but he knew that no matter what Celine said, Adam's abandonment of her today had deeply hurt her.

At that moment, Robin and Hailey rushed in. Both of them immediately ran over and placed their hands on Celine's stomach.

"Celine! How's the baby? Is everything okay?" they asked.

Celine smiled. "Everything's fine."

Robin scowled. "That bastard, Adam! Is he insane? He left his own child behind and picked that snake Carly instead? Ugh, kid, when you grow up, don't bother acknowledging that deadbeat dad. Let him stay tied to Carly forever!"

Hailey frowned. "Adam went too far this time. Nope, I'm calling him right now to curse him out."

Celine quickly stopped her. "Hailey, Robin, forget it. The one who's loved can always act recklessly. I'm just the one who isn't loved. If you call him and yell at him, it'll only make me look pathetic."

Hailey and Robin exchanged glances, then reluctantly dropped it.

"Fine. Celine, that man isn't worth it. The baby has two amazing godmothers. We'll spoil this little one rotten."

Celine nodded and gently stroked her still-flat stomach. "Exactly. We don't need that father anyway."

With her best friends by her side, Celine visibly relaxed, and she felt her mood lift.

That was what real friendship was for.

Perry smirked. "Celine, I had my people look into that scarred man. Guess what we found?"

Celine's clear, sharp eyes turned to him. "I don't know who he is, but I do know one thing—Carly hired him."
