The Divorce Prescription

Larry had left.

Carly linked arms with Lucy and asked, "Mom, what kind of leverage does Larry have on Celine?" Lucy smiled.

"Carly, that's not something you need to worry about. Just know that Celine is no match for you. She'll end up as nothing more than Larry's plaything." Carly smirked; to her, Celine was merely a girl from the countryside, suited only for someone like Larry. How could she possibly deserve the title of Mrs. Alvarez?

"Mom, you're amazing," Carly praised, her eyes gleaming with admiration.

"Carly, your dad hasn't been home for several nights now. Why don't you call him and get him to come back? He listens to you the most." Hayden truly spoiled Carly like a little princess, always eager to fulfill her wishes.

Carly nodded. "Okay, Mom, I'll call him right now and make sure he comes home." She took out her phone and called Hayden. Lucy felt a sense of ease; without Celine in her way, happiness was finally within reach.

Nathan raised an eyebrow. "Adam, give me some advice. How should I pursue Celine?" He was asking for guidance on how to win Celine's heart.

Adam paused, his hand holding the pen momentarily still. "Nathan, you've been with Celine long enough. You know what she likes and wants. You must have some idea of how to win her over."

Adam put the pen down and looked at Nathan. "As your good friend, let me be honest. You and Celine aren't a good match."

"Why?" Nathan asked, intrigued.
