The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 926

Had Jonah planned to bring Hailey on a date at the restaurant last night?

Hailey was stunned. She suddenly remembered how he had stormed in, furious, and pinned her to the bed to punish her.

Could it be that he had thought Hannah was her?

How could that be? Didn't he hate her?

After all, she had been so cold toward him when she broke up with him.

She had always believed that he resented her for it.

Jonah glanced up at her and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Hailey replied, "Could you order the food for us?"

Jonah chose a few dishes, and the manager nodded. "Of course, Mr. Pilsner. Please wait a moment."

After that, the manager left.

Hailey looked at him and asked, "Jonah, were you really waiting for me last night?"

He gave her a quick glance. "What do you think?"

If he had been waiting for her, did that mean he wanted to be with her?

Hailey certainly wanted to be with him, but she didn't dare ask. She feared that it would be a fruitless effort if she did.

Soon, the restaurant manager brought over a steak.

Jonah picked up the knife and fork, slicing the steak into small pieces before offering her one.

"Eat it," he said.

He was so considerate, cutting the steak for her.

Hailey felt warmth spread through her heart.

She picked up a piece of steak with her fork and took a bite.

As he looked at her, Jonah asked, "Is it good?"

Hailey nodded. "Yeah, it's delicious."

Her appetite had been off since she got pregnant, but today, eating with Jonah made everything taste amazing.

The steak he cut for her was particularly delicious.

Jonah smiled and said gently, "Eat up."

Hailey watched him quietly and realized there was a softness in Jonah she hadn't seen before.

She had started to figure him out—Jonah had a certain hunger in him, something restless that simmered just under the surface. Once that need was satisfied, the tension in him eased.

Once both of them were in the theater, he asked, "What do you want to watch?"

Hailey pointed at one of the posters. "That one looks like a romance film. Let's watch this."

"Sure," Jonah replied.

They entered a private VIP screening room Jonah had reserved just for the two of them.

There were no interruptions and no audience, just the two of them.

They took their seats, and Jonah handed her a tub of popcorn.

"This is for you."

She cradled it in her arms. The warm, sweet scent seemingly wrapped around her, a little indulgence that made the whole moment feel official.

Movies and popcorn… this was what a date was supposed to feel like.

She popped a piece into her mouth. It was sweet, light, and perfect.

Jonah asked, "Is it good?"

Hailey held out the popcorn to him. "It's good. You should have some too."

Jonah didn't reach for it. Instead, he looked at her and said, "Feed me."
