The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 155

Celine had no idea what she was saying.

Adam looked at the ice cream in her hand, then at her pure, angelic face. His voice was hoarse as he countered with a question, “Eat what?”

Celine’s mind went blank. She didn’t understand what he was asking. Her heart raced wildly.

Deciding to end the awkwardness, Celine said, “Mr. Alvarez, I’m going to sleep now. Let’s end the call.” With that, she reached out and ended the video call.

Hailey, who was about to take a shower, noticed Celine’s flushed face. “Celine, why is your face so red?”

Celine touched her cheek.. “Maybe it’s the heat. Hailey, you’d better go shower.”

“Alright.” Then, Hailey went into the bathroom.

Left alone, Celine sat quietly, eating her ice cream. Gradually, she calmed down. Why had she panicked earlier?

This morning, when she had asked him over the phone if he wanted her to repay him, he had hung up without hesitation. So arrogant. So dismissive. But why hadn’t he acted that way earlier?

Deep down, Celine had hoped he would accept her offer of repayment. That way, they could settle things and owe each other nothing.

Celine finished writing the medicinal soup recipe and sent it to Adam via WhatsApp. Her Whatsapp contact list still had Adam saved as “husband“.

Adam didn’t reply. As always, he maintained his cold and distant demeanor.

Her chat history with him was filled with one–sided messages. It had always been her monologue. This Whatsapp account had borne witness to the humiliating and laughable chapter of her marriage.

Feeling a mix of bitterness and amusement, Celine picked up her phone and snapped a selfie. She posted it as a Whatsapp status.

Adam, seated in his office chair, had received the medicinal soup recipe from Celine. He didn’t respond. He tried to focus on his documents, but his mind kept replaying the scene of Celine eating her ice cream.
