"You haven't forgotten our plans for tonight, have you?" Lester asked.
As Hailey was sitting on Jonah's lap, she was close enough that every word of Lester's carried clearly to him.
The moment Jonah heard "plans for tonight", his cold gaze narrowed.
Hailey smiled as she replied, "Of course not. I promised to take you out to dinner tonight, and I've already made the reservation. I'll send you the address later. I'll see you there!"
Lester said, "As long as you remember. Well, see you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Jonah stared at Hailey and asked, "You have plans with Lester tonight?"
She nodded. "Yes. I ran into him on campus today. Honestly, I owe him—if it weren't for Lester's help, I wouldn't have gotten into Aspenfield. I wanted to thank him, so I invited him out to dinner."
Jonah understood she felt nothing more than gratitude. However, Lester's feelings were another matter—he clearly had a crush on Hailey.
In their circles, Hailey was the kind of girl men couldn't resist and whom families never stopped vying for.
Jonah didn't try to stop her. After all, Hailey was a person, not a possession. She had her own space and her own world outside of him.
He didn't like the thought of her with other men, but love wasn't about locking her away.
Love was about understanding each other, and he wanted a lifetime with her.
"Would you mind if there's one more person at dinner tonight?" he asked.
The question caught Hailey off guard. "One more person? Who?" she asked.
"I don't have any plans tonight. Take me with you," Jonah answered.
"You want to have dinner with Lester?"
Jonah nodded. "Why? Is that a problem?"
Hailey laughed. "Of course not! I'm just surprised. You're not exactly the kind who enjoys being in a crowd!"
"That's your friend, isn't he? You should introduce him to me! And if Lester helped you, then I owe him too. I should thank him properly. Tonight, I'll go with you."
Hailey nodded. "Sure! Do you still have work to finish, Mr. Pilsner? If not, we can head out now."

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 ?...
