The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1011

Jonah was calling Hailey's name!

Hailey felt her heartbeat speed up instantly. She looked toward Jonah, and across the sea of students, their eyes locked on each other.

They didn't say a word, but that single glance spoke volumes. A rush of warmth flooded her chest.

Hailey answered loudly, "I'm here!"

Jonah wore a faint smile before he went on taking the attendance.

At that moment, Hailey could hear the frantic pounding of her own heart.

Once the roll call was done, Jonah began the lecture. It was a humanities class that afternoon.

As he stood at the podium, the tall, refined man spoke with ease and confidence. His charm and knowledge turned even the driest texts into something vivid and engaging.

The students were completely drawn in, listening with full attention.

Before long, Jonah said, "Class, I'd like to raise a question. What do you think love really is?"

It was the interactive part of the lecture, and a wave of hands shot up immediately, eager for his attention.

Jonah pointed to a boy in the front row.

"You. Let's hear your answer."

The boy grinned as he asked, "Mr. Pilsner, do you have a girlfriend?"

The moment the question landed, the room erupted in laughter and whispers.

The boy immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Pilsner. I'm straight! One of the girls sitting near me made me ask that question!"

A girl piped up boldly, "Mr. Pilsner, you're asking us to talk about love, so do you have a girlfriend or not?"

"Mr. Pilsner, come on! Just tell us! We all want to know if you're seeing someone!"

Everyone kept pressing Jonah about whether he had a girlfriend.

Around Hailey, the girls whispered excitedly to one another.

"Do you think Mr. Pilsner has a girlfriend?"

"Who in the world would turn down Mr. Pilsner's proposal?"

"Who's his girlfriend? Does anyone know?"

"I'd love to meet her. I want to see what kind of woman could catch his eye."

At that moment, the girls around Hailey turned to her.

"Hailey, why are you so quiet?"

"Yeah, you haven't said a word till now. That's not like you!"

Hailey wasn't trying to hide her relationship with Jonah, but with him being the center of so much attention, she couldn't exactly stand up and make her presence known.

Hailey replied with a smile, "I'm just paying attention!"

At that, Jonah looked at her.

"Hailey," he called out.
