The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 921

Jonah stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, taking a moment to compose himself.

Hailey glanced at him. His hands were tucked into his pockets, pressing down on something she couldn't see.

His gaze was lowered. His elegant yet carelessly self-assured posture made it hard to look at him without blushing.

She quickly looked away.

Once he had steadied himself, Jonah said, "You may come in."

Jeremy walked into the room. "Mr. Pilsner, the meeting is about to begin. Mr. Grant from Sterling Corporation has arrived."

Jonah gave a brief nod and replied, "Alright, I'll be there soon."

Then, Jeremy left.

As Jonah approached Hailey, he said, "Wait here like a good girl. If I come back and you're not here, you're going to pay for it. Understand?"

She didn't dare talk back. She nodded as she replied, "I got it."

With that, Jonah left.

Hailey could tell this meeting was important, yet he had still taken the time to kiss her before it.

She wasn't quite sure how she had ended up back in his office again.

Maybe it all started when she refused to take her medication. Everything after that had spiraled out of control.

She placed a hand over her flat stomach, and a soft wave of warmth rose within her.

She whispered, "Sweetheart, that's your daddy."

The baby was still far too small to respond, but something in her chest tightened with quiet joy.

Just then, a knock came at the door again.

Jeremy stepped inside. "Ms. Hailey, Mr. Pilsner asked me to bring you some snacks."

Two female staff members followed, placing an assortment of sweet and sour dried fruits on the coffee table.

Jeremy smiled and said, "Ms. Hailey, take a look and see if you like them. He said you've been craving sour things lately."

Jonah had actually remembered to have snacks prepared for her.

Hailey couldn't help but be touched. How could she not be?

Then, Jeremy left.

Hailey sat back on the couch, picked up a raisin, and popped it into her mouth. That sharp, tangy sweetness spread across her tongue, waking up her taste buds.

She pulled out her sketchbook and got to work.

By noon, Jonah still hadn't returned. Jeremy came in again, this time carrying a lunch tray with six small, colorful dishes.

"Ms. Hailey, these were prepared by the company's head chef. I hope they suit your taste."

Hailey asked, "Is Mr. Pilsner still in the meeting?"

Jeremy said, "Mr. Pilsner went out for lunch with Mr. Grant. They're entertaining a client and probably won't be back until the afternoon."

Hailey nodded. "Alright."

It was obvious he had a lot on his plate. He had been taking care of Aileen these past few days, and now work was piling up on him.

Since her appetite was better today, she ate a little. Afterward, she worked on a few more design drafts. By early afternoon, a wave of drowsiness crept in.

Ever since she got pregnant, she couldn't stop feeling sleepy. It was like her body just kept asking for more rest.
