The Divorce Prescription

Adam stared at Carly and shook his head. "Impossible! The baby isn't Perry's! The baby is mine!"

Carly's hands clenched into fists at her sides, her teeth grinding so hard it felt like they might crack. Why was Adam reacting so strongly when she said the baby belonged to Perry? Why was he so sure it was his?

She narrowed her eyes. "Adam, why are you reacting like this? I remember you never even liked kids. Are you hoping that Celine's baby is yours? Do you actually want Celine to have this baby?"

A dangerous red tint crept into Adam's sharp eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt in his gut that Celine's baby was his. He wanted the baby to be his.

Carly reached into her bag and pulled something out. "Adam, this is Celine's pregnancy report. The timeline is right here. She's exactly two weeks and three days along. Do the math. Does the baby match up with you?"

Adam dropped his gaze to the document in her hand before slowly reaching for it. His eyes landed on the name printed at the top-Celine Tate.

It was Celine's pregnancy report.

Right there, in black and white, was the confirmed gestation period. It was two weeks and three days.

Two weeks meant that it was obvious that the child wasn't his. It had already been a month since he last slept with Celine. The time before that was two months ago.

For the past month, Celine had been with Perry.

The answer was clear. This child belonged to Perry. Celine was carrying Perry's baby.
