The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 858

Hailey's eyes flickered with emotion as they turned red-rimmed. "Jonah, you could have told me."

Jonah looked at her fragile state and said, "Back then, you were a rich heiress, and I was just some poor nobody. I wasn't good enough for you. I couldn't drag you into something that dangerous because of my own issues."

Hailey buried her face in the crook of his neck. "You're such an idiot."

He wrapped his arms tightly around her as he comforted, "That's all in the past now."

She looked up at him and asked, "What happened to your face? And if the marriage was fake, why didn't you come for me in all those years?"

At the mention of his face, Jonah's expression turned grim. "You really don't know what happened to my face?"

Hailey was stunned. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jonah pursed his lips, saying nothing.

Hailey grew anxious. "Why won't you answer me? What happened to your face? I—"

Just then, a gentle ringtone cut through the air. Hailey's phone was ringing.

She pulled it out and checked the screen. The caller ID lit up with Ewan's name.

Jonah saw it too. "Ewan's calling you," he pointed out.

Hailey picked up the phone and answered.

Ewan immediately asked, "Hailey, where are you right now? I need to see you."

Hailey frowned. "Ewan, why are you calling me this late at night—"

Jonah silenced her with a kiss, pressing his lips to hers before she could say another word.

Hailey widened her eyes in shock. The next second, her vision tilted.

Jonah had already pushed her down onto the seat and was lying over her.

"Don't… I'm still on the phone with Ewan…" Hailey said, trying to push him away.

Jonah smirked. "Then take your call."

Ewan froze. "Jonah? So it's true. You're with her!"

"She's with me right now. If you have something to say, save it for tomorrow."

Jonah ended the call without waiting for a response. He tossed the phone aside and leaned down to kiss Hailey again.

"Is it over between you and Ewan?"

Hailey froze. What did he mean by over?

There had never been anything between her and Ewan to begin with. How could it be over?

Jonah looked into her eyes intensely and said, "Ms. Hailey, we've already slept together. Don't tell me you're planning to walk away now?"

Hailey asked, "What do you mean?"

Jonah gave a low, amused smile. "You slept with me, Ms. Hailey. You're not getting away now. Be with me, okay?"
