The Divorce Prescription

Celine froze. She looked up at Adam. "What did you say? Whose child did you say this was?"

Adam sneered. "Do I really need to tell you whose child it is? You should know better than anyone! The child is Perry's!"

Celine's slender frame trembled. She didn't want Adam to know about the child's existence, but now that he did, she couldn't let him misunderstand the child's parentage.

"Adam, listen to me carefully. This child is not Perry's. It's yours!"

Celine said the child was his.

Adam was momentarily stunned before he slowly chuckled.

"Enough, Celine!" He cut her off, reaching out to pinch her delicate chin. "Celine, you're carrying Perry's child and still have the audacity to tell me it's mine? What do you take me for? Some gullible fool? Or are you just pitying me?"
