Hailey was already caught off guard by being called a "wildcat", but she froze completely when Jonah nonchalantly called her a "little vixen".
She inhaled sharply, her eyes widening as she stared at him in disbelief.
Did he even realize what he was saying?
She was not a little vixen! No way!
"Jonah, you should make breakfast. Hailey and I are starving," Aileen said.
Jonah placed his glass down. "Alright, I'll get started."
He headed toward the kitchen.
Feeling uncomfortable, Hailey turned to Aileen and said, "Aileen, I think I'll head to my room for a while."
Aileen nodded. "Okay."
Hailey returned to her room and went straight to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and stepped in, ready to unwind.
The warm water cascaded over her, offering much-needed relief to the soreness and fatigue that had settled into her body.
But despite the soothing sensation, her pale skin was still marked with hickeys—marks Jonah had left behind the night before.
It almost felt like he had done it intentionally, marking her deliberately.
Her delicate skin now carried traces she couldn't erase.
Hailey mentally reminded herself to cover the hickeys later—if Aileen spotted them, she'd definitely start getting suspicious again.
She closed her eyes briefly, but Jonah's handsome face immediately filled her mind.
Last night, he had been above her, sweat sliding down the sharp edges of his jaw.
His hands pressed into the bed on either side of her, his body moved in rhythm with hers, and the muscles of his back flexed with each motion. He was the epitome of male perfection.
Hailey quickly forced herself to push those thoughts away. What was she doing? She needed to stop thinking about him.
All of a sudden, a wave of realization washed over her. She felt something trickling down her legs, and the truth hit her hard—Jonah hadn't used a condom last night.
The baby growing inside her was the result of his refusal to take precautions, and once again, he hadn't bothered the night before.
Had he never thought about what would happen if she got pregnant again?
Hailey stepped out of her room after showering and changing into clean clothes.
Just as Aileen came back from her walk, Jonah was setting breakfast on the table.
Hailey quickly raised her foot and kicked Jonah under the table.
Jonah watched as her face flushed bright red. She shot him a fierce glare, her eyes silently warning him to keep quiet.
He couldn't help but smile.
"Ergonomics? What were you two talking about?" Aileen asked.
Hailey quickly interrupted, "Aileen, hurry up and eat. You've got research to catch up on, right?"
Now that Aileen was feeling better, she had returned to her usual work routine.
As soon as work came up, she straightened in her chair. "Yes, I'll be heading out soon."
"Since you're feeling better, I should probably head back too. I'll visit again when I have time," Hailey said.
Aileen nodded. "Alright. Jonah, can you give Hailey a ride home?"
Hailey quickly protested, "No, it's fine, really!"
Jonah cut her off at that moment. "No problem. I'll take her."

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...
