The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Celine couldn’t help but wonder what Adam meant by that After all, he had inhaled the traces of aphrodisiac–why would she refuse to help?

She paused for a moment, then it clicked. Her face tamned bright red, and she quickly waved her hands in embarrassment.

“I didn’t mean it like that! I can help you in another way.”

“Oh?” Adam raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugged at his lips. Seeing her panicked reaction, he couldn’t help but tease her. “What other way?”

Celine was left speechless.

He was doing this on purpose, wasn’t he? He was toying with her innocencel

Adam stood right in front of her. He was wearing a pair of well–tailored trousers. An expensive leather belt accentuated his narrow waist..

Her gaze darted away awkwardly

Suddenly, Adam reached out to cup her face in his palms. He asked in a playful tone, “What are you looking at now, Celine?”

Earlier, she had been wandering around his room. Now, her gaze lingered on him.

Celine didn’t know how to respond. “I–I wasn’t looking at anything! I want to go home, now!” she blurted, attempting to get up and leave.

Adam stopped her. His hands remained steady on her face. “Why were you sent to the countryside back then?”

A hint of confusion flashed across Celine’s eyes. She lifted her gaze to meet his.

“Was it because nobody wanted you?

His words struck a nerve. Before she knew it, tears began to well up in her eyes.

His words stung.
