The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 116

Celine was speechless.

Was it a good idea to bring up her name when Adam and Carly were having so much fon? she was just thinking that she didn’t belong to their world, but now, someone decided to pull her in.

Melody said, “Today is her first day at Yorhine University, but she has already become famous.”

Benjamin looked judgmental. “Her? Famous?”

Melody replied, “Yeah! She became the ‘Goddess of Sleep‘ on campus. She slept the entire day.”

Benjamin laughed. “When Adam decided to enroll her into Yorhine University, I couldn’t get it. Now I finally know why. Adam wants her to be our daily joke!”

Everyone was laughing at Celine, and Carly was the one laughing happiest.

Celine was speechless outside the door.

Whatever.

Inside the luxurious room, Adam didn’t laugh or smile. Carly made him feel a little just now, but when they joked about Celine, his face turned cold. He also pulled his hands away from Carly’s back.

At this moment, it was like he sensed something. He turned to look at the door.

Yet, it was empty.

Celine had already left with Hailey.

Adam stood up and walked over.

Carly was stunned. “Adam, where are you going?”

“To the restroom,” he replied coldly.

Adam entered a luxurious lounge and took out his phone, dialing a number.

When the call connected, James’s voice came through. “Hey, Adam.”

Standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, Adam pressed his lips into a line and asked, “James, how did Celine do on her first day at school?”

He went straight to the point.

James responded bluntly, “Not great. She spent the whole day sleeping.”

Adam’s sharp eyebrows furrowed instantly. “I sent her there to study, not sleep. Why didn’t you discipline her?”

James thought back to Celine’s casual remarks. “You’re James? Alright, you go teach the class.”

He silently retorted, “Why don’t you handle her yourself?”

Adam’s face darkened. “She’s your student. You’re the one responsible for her.”

James countered, “And she’s your wife. That makes her your responsibility!”

Adam was speechless, and he hung up angrily.

James was in his study, immersed in academic research, when the beeping sound of the disconnected call reached his ears. He was speechless. “Unbelievable! How can both husband and wife be so brazenly disrespectful?”

He thought about Celine again. Right, why should he be afraid of her? He was her professor! Tomorrow, he would make sure to put her in her place.

At that moment, James’s WhatsApp chimed with a new message.

James opened it eagerly and saw a message from the esteemed Dr. C. Attached was the surgery plan he had submitted yesterday, now meticulously reviewed with detailed red–ink annotations.

James’s eyes lit up with excitement. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Amazing indeed!” With the utmost respect, James recorded a voice message and sent it. “Thank you!”
