The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 863

Jonah's hands balled into fists at his sides. He headed straight for Hailey and Ewan's table.

"She's not eating that!" he shouted.

Hailey looked up, momentarily stunned by the familiar voice. "Jonah? What are you doing here?"

Without further delay, Jonah grabbed her slender arm and pulled her to her feet.

"You're coming with me," he demanded.

He wasn't leaving without her.

Ewan sneered. "Mr. Pilsner, are you seriously just going to take Hailey and walk out? She's having dinner with me tonight."

Jonah turned to him, his gaze cold as ice. "Hailey is my girlfriend. Consider this your warning—if you try to see her behind my back again, you'll deal with the consequences!"

Without another word, he took Hailey's hand and led her away.

Behind them, Ewan slammed his knife and fork onto the table, the sharp clang echoing through the restaurant.

Despite all his efforts to provoke Jonah over the phone, Jonah still showed up and took Hailey away. It was clear that his attempt to cause trouble had completely failed.

How frustrating.

Just then, someone approached.

"Hello, Mr. Ewan."

Ewan turned to find Joanne standing before him.

He recognized her immediately—he had already looked into her background. She was the woman who had been frequently seen around Jonah, supposedly working as a doctor.

"Ms. Lilton, how do you know who I am? I don't believe we've met."

Joanne smiled. "Mr. Ewan, haven't you heard the saying, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend?' I guess that makes us allies now."

"Did Jonah dump you or something?"

She carefully asked, "Jonah, are you mad?"

Jonah's grip tightened on the steering wheel. "Mad? No. I'm in an excellent mood."

Hailey fell silent.

"Come on, isn't it obvious I'm angry? Stop playing innocent!"

Hailey flinched at the sharp edge in his voice. "Why are you so upset? Is it because I was with Ewan—"

But Jonah cut her off, "Hailey, what exactly are we?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend," she replied.

"That's right. You're my girlfriend. So why the hell did you sneak off to see Ewan? He was even trying to feed you. What is that supposed to mean? Am I just some kind of backup to you?"

Hailey scrambled to explain, "Jonah, please, you've got it all wrong! It's not what you think!"
