The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 919

Did Jonah seriously want Hailey to call him "Honey" again?

He'd already teased her in the pharmacy—why was he still messing with her now?

Hailey shook her head firmly. "I'm not calling you that!"

Jonah remained unfazed, his gaze steady on hers. "Then take the pill."

"I'm not taking it! Forget it!"

Jonah didn't argue. He simply leaned back and started the car.

As they drove, Hailey began to notice something was off. The road wasn't taking them to her house. Where was he going?

"Mr. Pilsner, where are we headed?"

"Well, Ms. Hailey, since you won't take the pill, I suppose I'll have to take you to my office. I've got a meeting soon."

To his office?

"I don't want to go!" she exclaimed.

"Ms. Hailey, since you refuse to take the pill, there's always the chance of pregnancy. If that happens, I'll have to keep you close. The moment I find out you're pregnant, I'll—"

Hailey's heart skipped a beat, a sudden unease gripping her. "What will you do? Are you going to force me to abort the child?"

The words left her lips before she could stop them, her voice betraying her anxiety. After all, Hailey was secretly carrying Jonah's child.

She could keep it hidden for now, but he would find out sooner or later once the baby was born.

She couldn't help but feel desperate to know how he would react.

Jonah raised an eyebrow, and he didn't give a direct answer. "Well, what do you think?"

Hailey was momentarily at a loss for words.

How was she supposed to know what he would do?

If she did, she wouldn't feel so anxious.

She pressed on. "Mr. Pilsner, please. Answer me. If I got pregnant, what would you do?"

Jonah's lips curled into a teasing smile. "Do you really want to know?"

"Ms. Hailey, you can exit now," he said.

Hailey didn't move. "I'm not going in."

"Why not? It's not like this is your first time here."

"Mr. Pilsner, do you really have to humiliate me like this? We've already broken up. What reason do I have to be in your company now? You have a new girlfriend—let's not drag this out any further."

Without warning, Jonah crouched down and effortlessly lifted her from the passenger seat.

Hailey tensed. "Put me down!"

Jonah smirked. "Ms. Hailey, since you won't get out on your own, I'll do the honors. Let's go."

He began striding toward the building, carrying her in his arms.

Hailey tried to break free. "Jonah, let go of me! What the hell are you doing?"

Her heart raced uncontrollably, and panic began to set in. She had no idea what he was trying to accomplish.

When they were together, moments like this would have felt sweet. But now, with no sense of where they stood, all she could feel was the thick, awkward tension building between them.
