About half an hour later, Jonah returned to the villa with Hailey.
The maid greeted them politely. "Welcome back, Mr. Pilsner and Ms. Hailey. Would you like me to prepare dinner?"
"We've already eaten out," Jonah said. "Just some chicken noodle soup will be fine."
"Of course, sir," the maid replied.
The chicken noodle soup was specially prepared for Hailey since Jonah was very particular about her diet. She needed to have nourishing soups and supplements every day. It was non-negotiable.
Jonah held Hailey's hand as he led her upstairs into their room.
Hailey gently pulled her hand free. "Sit down. Let me redress your wound."
Jonah met her gaze. "So, do you understand what you did wrong today?"
Hailey stiffened. Was he really going to bring this up now? Was he about to lecture her after everything?
"What did I do wrong? Those two men were drunk and made a move on me. Just because I'm attractive doesn't mean I'm at fault. Don't you dare blame a woman for a man's reckless desires!"
Jonah let out a frustrated laugh. Even now, she had to be so defiant.
"I know those two idiots were the problem," he said. "But I'm talking about you getting up on stage to dance. You're pregnant, Hailey. You shouldn't be taking risks like that. Look what happened. Don't do something so reckless again for your sake and the baby's."
Hailey met his eyes. "No, you just don't want me dancing. Every time I do, you're quick to blame me. That's a total double standard."
"A double standard? Who exactly am I being unfair to?"
"Do I really need to explain? You didn't bat an eye when Ms. Ellington danced. But the second I step on stage, you act like it's a crime."
Jonah remained silent for a moment.
Kaia's dancing wasn't his business. Why should he care? What gave him the right to get involved?
It was ridiculous.

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 ?...
