The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 826

Everyone in the car fell silent.

Jonah took out his phone and pulled up Hailey's WhatsApp contact.

He wanted to send her a message, but when he reached the input box, he hesitated—he had no idea what to say.

…

Hailey returned home.

James had already been discharged from the hospital, and he was sitting in the living room with Miranda.

He stood up and asked, "Hailey, why are you home so late?"

Hailey quickly replied, "Dad, please sit down. I went to talk to Mr. Morrison today. He said he won't terminate his partnership with us."

Miranda lit up. "Really? That's great news. Hailey, did you go talk to Mr. Morrison on your own?"

Hailey nodded. "Dad, Mom, I ran into Mr. Pilsner. He helped me out."

"Mr. Pilsner? The rising business star, Jonah Pilsner?"

James had definitely heard of Jonah. The business world wasn't that big, and someone who had gotten a company listed in just three years would surely get people talking.

Hailey nodded. "Yes, it's him."

James looked puzzled. "But Hailey, there's no connection between you two. Why would he help you out?"

Hailey didn't want to keep it from her parents, so she explained, "Dad, Mom… Jonah Pilsner is Declan Zamora."

"What?" James froze in shock.

Miranda blurted, "Declan Zamora? Isn't he the classmate you were dating three years ago?"

Hailey stood up. "Dad, Mom… I'm tired. I'll be retiring upstairs now."

Miranda quickly responded, "Go on, sweetie."

Hailey went upstairs, entered her room, and walked into the bathroom.

After removing her clothes, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror and saw the marks on her neck. They were the results of Jonah's kisses.

The scenes of them entwined in the bathroom earlier flashed back through her mind. Hailey leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.

She still didn't know what she had done wrong.

Three years ago, he ended things with her without a word, and she had watched him marry someone else.

Three years later, without any explanation, he returned—already with someone new.
