The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 828

James had already begun addressing the issues involving that worker.

Hailey was feeling down, and Miranda, distressed over her daughter's mood, decided to take her out for dinner.

Both mother and daughter arrived at a private restaurant. Miranda pinched Hailey's cheek gently and said, "Hailey, come on, smile. Girls who smile have better luck. You can't go around looking gloomy like this."

Hailey didn't want her parents to worry, so she forced a smile. "Got it, Mom."

"That's better. Come on, let's eat."

Just then, someone walked over. "Hailey."

Hailey looked up—it was Lester Larden, son of the Larden family. Their families had always been quite close.

Lester was the refined and gentlemanly type. He greeted them warmly, "Hailey, Mrs. Lambert, what a coincidence! You're both eating here, too?"

Miranda nodded. "Yes. Lester, are you here with your parents?"

Lester pointed forward. "Mrs. Lambert, I came with my mom. She's just ahead."

Miranda said, "Hailey, you stay and chat with Lester for a bit. I'll go say hi to Mrs. Larden."

Hailey nodded. "Okay."

Once Miranda left, Hailey and Lester stood together. He looked at her and said, "Hailey, you seem to have lost some weight lately. Is something bothering you?"

Hailey shook her head. "No. I don't think I've lost weight. In fact, I feel like I've gained some instead."

Lester smiled gently. "As timeless grace along the waterside, no veil nor blush her splendor seeks to hide."

That got a real smile out of Hailey.

Lester was known in their circle as the most scholarly—the youngest professor of an Awhana League university. Hence, he tended to speak poetically.

"Thanks for the compliment, Lester!" she said cheerily.

Hailey's eyes drifted to a bookshelf nearby. On it was a book with his name—one of his publications.

"Lester, is this one of your books?"

Lester nodded. "Yes, but it's on archaeology. I doubt it'd interest you much."
