Perhaps everything between Hailey and Jonah had ended three years ago.
But by the will of fate, no matter where she went, she seemed to run into him. She came here for a meal, and Jonah came too, stopping right in front of her.
When complimented on how well she and Lester looked together, Hailey responded with a polite smile, saying nothing more.
However, in Jonah's eyes, that smile took on a different meaning. After all, silence often implied acceptance. Hailey and Lester—both unmarried—meant anything was possible.
Lester smiled. "Please don't tease me and Hailey. I don't mind, but she's a young woman. She gets shy easily."
The other businessmen laughed playfully upon hearing his response.
"Prof. Larden is getting protective, huh?"
"Going by first name basis, eh? Sounds like you two are quite close."
"Alright, that's enough teasing. So, are Prof. Larden and Ms. Hailey here for dinner too?"
Lester nodded. "Yes. Mrs. Lambert and my mother are both here too."
He gestured forward with his eyes. Jonah looked up and saw a group of elegant ladies ahead—Miranda, Lester's mother, and several upper-class society women chatting and laughing.
Jonah calmly shifted his gaze.
Just then, one of the businessmen suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Pilsner, I noticed earlier you seemed to be looking at Ms. Hailey. Do you know her?"
Jonah turned to Hailey and deflected with a question of his own. "Ms. Hailey, do we know each other?"
He didn't answer directly. Instead, he redirected the question to Hailey.
Hailey's lashes fluttered. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Pilsner. Yes, we've met. You even helped me once, and I'm very grateful for that."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
My dad please come novel it’s the same book with all the chapters but different characters instead of Celine her name is Wendy...

this is getting absurd and funnier...so are we gonna some sci-fi alien or time travelling next...author getting dummier... I just want to point out that every single char forgets what the atrocious things carly did and was never punished they practically ignore every deed she'd done and she goes unscathed and starts doing some witchcraft sh*t...
It's been over a year since i started reading this book. Now...i guess this will take more years before it ends...hahhah enemel...
Seriously???? I really wanted to laugh. This is ridiculous! Unbelievable. Medicine to witchcraft????🤣 You're just dragging it. Reveal who the real daughter of the Hampton!!!!...
Can't you just reveal the truth of Celine heritage ??...
Not again..is there any fast forward button?...
this is so annoying. the happy moments of celine and adam are way too shorter than their problems. this is the kind of story that will make the readers lose their interest. to the author, you are so disappointing. i hope you can give the story the justice it deserves....
