Jonah's lips curved into a smile. "Honey, do you really want me to come home?" he asked.
Hailey's voice was soft and sweet as she replied, "I want to cuddle with you while I sleep."
Her coquettish tone made Jonah's whole body weaken. Since Hailey's pregnancy, their intimate moments had become rare, and even a little teasing from her was enough to stir him.
Gripping his phone tightly, Jonah replied, "As much as I'd love to cuddle you and the baby, I've got an urgent matter at the office tonight. I can't leave yet."
A faint disappointment tugged at Hailey's heart. "Alright then… But you have to promise to rest too."
"Okay."
Once the call ended, Hailey lay alone in bed. Without Jonah there, the room felt especially cold and empty.
Nonetheless, she didn't want to interrupt him at work. She placed her hand on her belly and whispered, "My little one, Daddy's busy right now. Looks like it's just the two of us tonight."
Suddenly, the baby gave Hailey a little kick, as though silently reassuring her, "Mommy, I'm here."
Hailey smiled. She closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
…
After Jonah ended the call, Justin stood up, a playful grin on his face.
"Jonah, you and Ms. Hailey are getting a bit too affectionate for my liking. If it weren't for Rebecca's situation, I would've already walked out."
Jonah slipped his phone back into his pocket. "What would a single guy like you understand? This is the joy of being a married man."
Justin was momentarily stunned.
Did Jonah really need to rub it in like that?
"Anyway, let's focus on finding a solution," Justin said.
Jonah took a seat. "Alright."

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 ?...
