The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 603

Declan was still lying to Hailey!

Tears suddenly streamed down Hailey's face. She was very disappointed. Even now, he was still deceiving her. Why?

Her sobs caught in her throat.

As Declan heard her sobbing, his chest tightened. "Hailey, what's wrong? Are you crying? Did something happen?"

The entire hall was watching him and Stella. After all, they were the center of the ceremony. Now that they were standing in front of the officiant, Declan had stopped everything to take a call.

The guests began whispering among themselves.

Stella stepped forward and clutched his sleeve anxiously. She lowered her voice and said, "Declan, everyone's watching. Whatever it is, can't it wait until after the wedding?"

Standing at the entrance, Hailey choked as she looked at both of them, "Declan, I can't believe you're busy with marrying Stella!"

Declan's pupils contracted slightly as he drew in a sharp breath. "Hailey, you found out? Who told you?"

"I'm standing right outside the door!"

What?

Declan glanced toward the door and saw Hailey standing by the doorway.

Tears brimmed in her eyes as she gazed at him, and her vision blurred. Their eyes met across the distance, locking in an unspoken exchange.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Declan never imagined he would see Hailey at his own wedding.

He had kept it from her, determined not to let her know. If he could just get through today, everything would be fine.

He couldn't believe that she was actually here at his wedding.

Hailey choked back a sob. "Declan, why are you marrying Stella? I don't believe it! I just need you to give me a reason… Whatever the reason is, I'll believe you."

Declan hesitated. "Hailey, I…"

Before he could finish, Bob, seated below the stage, stood up with a displeased expression. "Declan, get on with the ceremony."

Declan lowered his voice as he said, "Hailey, don't cry. Let me take care of this, and I'll go to you, okay?"

"No! Declan, I want you to come home with me. This is your last chance. If you don't leave with me now, I'm done with you!"

This was the last chance she was giving him.

Back then, she had told him if he ever married another woman, she would dump him straight away.

Hailey loved with all her heart, but she refused to be made a fool. If he kept lying to her and keeping secrets while choosing someone else, then he was not the man she thought he was. She was not the kind of woman who would stay.

Declan frowned. "Hailey, I'm sorry. I can't leave with you right now."

With that, he ended the call.

Stella, standing to the side, let out a quiet sigh of relief. She had known it was Hailey on the phone and had feared that one call would be enough to make Declan leave.

However, he didn't leave.
