The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 872

Hailey and Jonah soon arrived in Barombya and checked into a local B&B.

The B&B owner, Joe Hogan, greeted them warmly, "Are you two a couple here on vacation?"

Jonah and Hailey were practically glued to each other. Anyone would've easily mistaken them for a married couple.

Hailey didn't bother correcting him. After all, she and Jonah were going to get married soon.

She replied, "Sir, we're not here for sightseeing. We came to look for something."

"Oh? What are you looking for? I might be able to help."

"We're looking for the snow lotus."

"You mean the legendary snow lotus that only blooms once every 50 years? Well, you two are in luck! Just yesterday, Arlo Brunt went up the mountain and came down with one!" Joe told them.

Hailey's eyes lit up with joy. "Really? That's amazing! Sir, do you have that person's contact info? We'd like to offer a high price to buy it!"

Joe chuckled. "I do have his number. I'll call him for you right now."

He pulled out his phone and made the call.

Hailey looked at Jonah, eyes sparkling. "Did you hear that, Jonah? We came at just the right time. The snow lotus is here!"

Jonah pinched her cheek affectionately. "Look how happy you are."

"Of course I'm happy!"

After finishing the call, Joe turned to Hailey. "I just spoke to him. He said he's willing to come by this afternoon to talk with you in person about selling the snow lotus."

"Fantastic!" Hailey beamed. "Thank you so much. We'll wait here for him."

Back in their room, Hailey was still buzzing with excitement.

"I didn't think our luck would be this good. No matter how much he asks, we have to get that snow lotus!"

Hailey felt her heart sink. So, Arlo had sold the snow lotus to someone else.

"Sir, can you ask who he sold it to? The snow lotus is very important to us!" Hailey said urgently.

Joe spoke into the phone again. "Arlo, can you tell me who you sold it to? Hello? Hello?"

He was met with a busy tone. It would seem that Arlo had hung up.

Joe turned to them. "He hung up."

Hailey grew anxious. "Why did he hang up? Do you know where he lives? We'll go find him right now!"

Joe handed over a small note with an address. "He lives nearby. You guys should hurry."

Hailey grabbed the address and reached for Jonah's hand. "Come on. We're going to find him and figure out who bought that snow lotus. We have to buy it off that guy!"
