Outside the door, Jonah's lips lifted into a smile. He had always known that Hailey loved him.
Lester, however, was stunned. He had planned to confess his feelings tonight, certain that a union between their families would be ideal.
But now, it was clear as day that Hailey's heart belonged to someone else.
While resting her hand on her lower abdomen, her delicate features shone with a maternal glow as she said, "Lester, I'm pregnant. Jonah and I are expecting a baby. I'm already more than five months along."
Lester's surprise deepened. Hailey's slender limbs and flowing dress had perfectly concealed her pregnancy.
Though it was painful, Lester accepted the truth with composure. He managed a faint smile and said, "Congratulations, Hailey."
Hailey's lips curved into a smile. "Thank you, Lester. Having a friend like you means the world to me."
She managed the situation with impeccable tact. By speaking up first, she saved Lester from the awkwardness of confessing his feelings.
This way, they could move forward as friends.
Lester understood exactly what she was saying, and all he could do was return her smile.
At that moment, Jonah raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Lester, Jonah's here," Hailey called out.
As she finished speaking, the door swung open.
Jonah stepped inside and turned to Lester. "Hello, Prof. Larden."
Lester quickly stood up. "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Pilsner. I've heard a great deal about you."
As he extended his hand, Jonah clasped it firmly.
"I've heard a lot about you as well, Prof. Larden," Jonah replied. "Since you've helped Hailey so much, I wanted to come personally to thank you tonight."

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...
