The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1004

For three years, the deepest wound Jonah carried wasn't physical—it was the pain in his heart. He had believed that Hailey had abandoned him.

But now, he finally understood the truth. She never had.

"So, you and Ewan were never really involved?" Jonah questioned.

Hailey smiled. "Did you really think I was with him?"

Jonah nodded. "Well… setting aside his character, Ewan's not a bad catch. He's handsome and a successful heir. Plus, you were once engaged to him. How was I supposed to know you wouldn't fall for him?"

Hailey heard the jealousy in his voice and decided to tease him a bit. "Well, when you put it that way, Ewan does sound pretty great. Many heiresses and socialites actually admire him. As for me and him—"

Before she could finish, Jonah quickly reached out and covered her mouth. "Hailey, don't say another word!"

He couldn't bear to hear any more.

Hailey gently pulled his hand away. Bathed in the soft glow of the lamp, her almond-shaped eyes sparkled brightly. "No, I want to say it. Ewan might seem like a decent man, but there was never anything between us.

"Yes, our families arranged our engagement, and he won my trust through deception. But once I saw who he really was, I stayed away. And after that… I met you.

"In my eyes, no matter how 'good' Ewan appears, he'll never measure up to you. You're more handsome, and now you're making waves in the business world. I'd have to be blind to ever fall for him!"

Hailey's words melted away every trace of jealousy in Jonah's heart. "Do you really mean that?"

"I swear, I meant every word." She leaned in and pressed a kiss to his lips. "Jonah, I love you."

Without a moment's hesitation, Jonah wrapped his arms around her, returning her kiss with burning passion.

The two of them soon tumbled onto the bed. Upon feeling his growing desire, Hailey pushed him back, her cheeks flushed.

"Be careful… there's a baby in me, remember?" she said.

"Our son's already six months along. The doctor said that as long as we're not too rough, it's perfectly safe."

Hailey's cheeks burned brighter. "Mr. Pilsner, what exactly are you up to?"
