Hailey couldn't think straight anymore. She couldn't understand why Jonah had suddenly turned warm and affectionate toward her.
They had already broken up. What did he want from her now?
She said quietly, "Go find someone else…"
Before she could finish, Jonah seized her jaw, his eyes dark with heat and intensity. "Who exactly do you want me to find?"
He could find anyone he wanted, whether Joanne or Hannah—it didn't matter.
His grip only grew tighter as he demanded, "Answer me."
Hailey didn't dare say a word. The look in his eyes was dangerous—like he was one step away from losing control.
Jonah stared at her, his gaze steady and unblinking. "Since we broke up, I haven't been with anyone," he told her.
Hailey's heart skipped a beat. What did he mean?
"I haven't touched another woman," he said.
She looked at him, stunned.
So, he hadn't slept with Joanne?
His thumb moved from her jaw to her lips, pressing harder than necessary as he dragged it across.
Her lips parted under the pressure, soft and flushed, and something about it made her breath hitch.
His voice came low and rough as he asked, "Are you coming over tonight?"
Hailey's mind was a mess. After a few seconds of hesitation, she shook her head. "No."
Jonah exhaled sharply, then leaned in and bit the corner of her lip.
She flinched with a soft gasp of pain.
He let go and warned her in a gravelly voice, "Hailey, you'd better not mess with me again. If you do, you won't like what happens next. Don't think I'm someone you can push around!"
Hailey had no idea what he was talking about. When had she ever messed with him?
Without a word, Hailey shoved a piece of meat into her mouth. "Eat, Aileen."
Meanwhile, Jonah stood in the kitchen, letting the cool air hit his face.
He couldn't go out there looking like this. Aileen was older now, and there were things she didn't need to see.
He pulled out his phone from his pocket and opened WhatsApp. He scrolled to a message from Peanut.
When he looked at her confession, he smiled.
Waiting one more night wouldn't kill him. Tomorrow, he would take her on a date.
There was no need to rush.
Once the heat in his body settled, Jonah stepped out of the kitchen and spotted Hailey and Aileen sitting together.
One was his sister, and the other was the girl he couldn't stop thinking of.
They were all he had left in this world.

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 ?...
