The Divorce Prescription

Grace still remembered Celine vividly.

Adam wasn't surprised at all. He knew Carly would complain. That was what she had been doing for the past three years.

"Mom, I ran into Celine at the Apex Gala today," Adam said.

"Why is Celine in the Capitol? She must be here because of you. Adam, you can't get tangled up with her again!"
