The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 866

"I didn't feed Ewan. I'm only feeding you!" Hailey insisted.

Jonah felt his heart swell at her words. He raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to take a bite.

"By the way, Ewan doesn't even come close to you. In my heart, you're the best!"

Jonah's gaze softened. He knew Hailey was laying it on thick, and he was utterly charmed by it. But more than her sweet words, it was the feeling that he was her everything that truly touched him.

After they finished eating, Jonah had to leave for a meeting. He was swamped with work.

"Go ahead. I'll be here, working on my designs," Hailey said.

"You're not going to disappear again, are you? You won't leave, right?"

Hailey leaned in and kissed him on the lips. "Relax, I'll be here. I'm not going anywhere."

"You promised. When I come back, you better still be here."

"Don't worry."

With her promise echoing in his mind, Jonah finally turned and left.

Hailey sank back into the chair, her focus shifting to her designs. But just as she got lost in her work, someone walked in.

She looked up with a smile. "Jonah, what—"

Her voice trailed off as she saw it wasn't Jonah, but Justin.

"Justin... It's you."

Justin stepped inside. "Damn, Ms. Hailey, who else did you think it was? Jonah?"

Hailey was well aware of the tension between them. "Jonah's in a meeting. Are you here to see him?"

"No, I came to see you."

"What is it?"

"Justin, what are you doing here?"

Hailey looked up as Jonah returned. He stood tall in the doorway, his sharp gaze filled with anger as they fixed on Justin.

Justin met his gaze. "Jonah, I was just having a conversation with Ms. Hailey."

Jonah walked forward and stood by Hailey's side. "Is the conversation over? There's no need to keep digging up the past."

"Jonah, Ms. Hailey doesn't really have any genuine feelings for you—"

Before Justin could continue, Jonah slammed the file onto the desk with a deafening thud, his gaze cold and unyielding as it fixed on Justin.

"If you truly consider me a friend, don't ever speak like that again."

Justin's expression twisted with fury. "So, Jonah, you're really going to defend this rich young lady like that? I'm not allowed to say a word about her, huh? Fine, I get it."

In a burst of frustration, he kicked over a trash can before storming out.
