For three years, the deepest wound Jonah carried wasn't physical—it was the pain in his heart. He had believed that Hailey had abandoned him.
But now, he finally understood the truth. She never had.
"So, you and Ewan were never really involved?" Jonah questioned.
Hailey smiled. "Did you really think I was with him?"
Jonah nodded. "Well… setting aside his character, Ewan's not a bad catch. He's handsome and a successful heir. Plus, you were once engaged to him. How was I supposed to know you wouldn't fall for him?"
Hailey heard the jealousy in his voice and decided to tease him a bit. "Well, when you put it that way, Ewan does sound pretty great. Many heiresses and socialites actually admire him. As for me and him—"
Before she could finish, Jonah quickly reached out and covered her mouth. "Hailey, don't say another word!"
He couldn't bear to hear any more.
Hailey gently pulled his hand away. Bathed in the soft glow of the lamp, her almond-shaped eyes sparkled brightly. "No, I want to say it. Ewan might seem like a decent man, but there was never anything between us.
"Yes, our families arranged our engagement, and he won my trust through deception. But once I saw who he really was, I stayed away. And after that… I met you.
"In my eyes, no matter how 'good' Ewan appears, he'll never measure up to you. You're more handsome, and now you're making waves in the business world. I'd have to be blind to ever fall for him!"
Hailey's words melted away every trace of jealousy in Jonah's heart. "Do you really mean that?"
"I swear, I meant every word." She leaned in and pressed a kiss to his lips. "Jonah, I love you."
Without a moment's hesitation, Jonah wrapped his arms around her, returning her kiss with burning passion.
The two of them soon tumbled onto the bed. Upon feeling his growing desire, Hailey pushed him back, her cheeks flushed.
"Be careful… there's a baby in me, remember?" she said.
"Our son's already six months along. The doctor said that as long as we're not too rough, it's perfectly safe."
Hailey's cheeks burned brighter. "Mr. Pilsner, what exactly are you up to?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
How does anyone in their senses meet up with someone who almost hurt them and their unborn child. This author is dumb and needs to wrap this crap up. All of a sudden Hailey and kala are playing Celine and Carly's role as another character. Nonsense....
Is this still story for Celine and Adam?...
And yet again, they get away with evil!!!...
That’s gruesome to have 2 months pregnancy forcibly terminated by other characters . What kind of hospital doctors is that ?...
