A warm smile spread across Hailey's face. "Lester, you're just in time! The menu's here. Let's order."
With that, she passed the menu to Lester.
He took it and flipped through the pages. "Hailey, I remember you used to love fried chicken wings when you were little."
Jonah, having finished his phone call, decided to head back to the VIP room.
The door was ajar, and through the gap, he heard Lester talking to Hailey about their childhood memories.
Jonah pulled his hand away from the doorknob. Instead of stepping inside, he lingered in the doorway, eager to listen to Hailey and Lester's conversation.
Hailey nodded. "It's not just a childhood thing. I still love fried chicken wings! I'm surprised you remember that."
Lester smiled brightly. "How could I forget? You and Ewan were close, and your families had gone so far as to arrange your engagement."
Hailey didn't want to bring up Ewan. After all, there wasn't a single good memory tied to him.
"Lester, I'm sure you've already heard about what happened with Ewan. In our circles, nothing stays secret. He's in the past, and I don't want to talk about him anymore."
"Fair enough," Lester said. "But honestly, when I found out you were engaged to him, I was upset for a long time."
Hailey blinked, surprised. "Why did that make you sad?"
A flicker of suspicion crossed her mind. Could Lester really have feelings for her?
Back then, everyone considered her unattractive, and Ewan had only taken advantage of her.
"Lester, I was hideous at the time. Nobody ever noticed me."
"Hailey, you were never ugly. Your eyes sparkled like stars in the night. Honestly, you were adorable. But unfortunately, all your attention was on Ewan. If only you had lifted your head and looked around, you would have seen that someone had always cared for you."
Hailey's heart skipped a beat. Now, she was certain Lester had liked her all along.
She had never once imagined he could feel that way about her.
Lester looked at her with quiet affection. "Hailey, the truth is, I—"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
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 ?...
So until when would Hailey keep her pregnancy from Jonah...
