The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 929

Jonah's lips curved into a faint smile. "What's the hurry?"

Hailey blinked, caught off guard. What did he mean by that?

She glanced out the window—this definitely wasn't the road to her home. He had kept her by his side all day, completely in control as he drove.

Now, it was late, and he still wasn't letting her go.

"Mr. Pilsner, where exactly are you taking me? I'd like to go home," she said.

Jonah turned to her with a playful glint in his eyes. "Why the nerves? Are you afraid I might devour you?"

"…Mr. Pilsner, surely you're joking. A gentleman like you wouldn't do something like that—would you?"

Hailey tried to flatter him, but Jonah remained unfazed.

He looked at her. "That depends on whether you behave."

Hailey was left speechless.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa. It was Jonah's home.

He got out and opened the gate. "Ms. Hailey, after you."

"Mr. Pilsner, I really should be heading home. It's getting late, and I don't want to impose."

With that, Hailey turned to leave, but Jonah was quicker. He stepped in front of her and blocked her path.

"Ms. Hailey, it seems you're not listening again."

"I—" Hailey started, but Jonah swept her off her feet and into his arms before she could finish.

"Jonah, let me go!" she demanded, struggling against him.

"Jonah—!" Hailey's protest was cut off as his lips claimed hers again.

…

In the early morning, Hailey felt a pinch on her cheek. She groaned, turning over with a frown. "Stop it… I'm trying to sleep…"

A deep, amused chuckle sounded beside her. Her lashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

She was in Jonah's bed. He was already awake, lying on one elbow. His gaze was locked on her with a playful gleam in his eyes, and his other hand was lightly brushing her cheek.

The memory of last night came rushing back, and Hailey snapped awake.

Jonah's lips curled into a teasing smile. "Ms. Hailey, you're awake at last."

Hailey blinked in shock as she hurriedly pulled the blanket up to cover herself. "Y-you—You!"
