The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 954

Soon, there was a knock on the door—it was Jonah.

Hailey took a moment to steady herself before saying, "Come in."

The door opened, and Jonah stepped inside.

The tension in the air was palpable.

Although neither of them said a word about it, the memory of what had happened earlier hung heavily between them and was impossible to ignore.

Jonah stopped in front of her. "I'm sorry. I should've knocked."

"It's fine," Hailey replied. "Did you need something?"

"You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?" Jonah asked. "I said I'd check on the baby every day."

Hailey hadn't forgotten. She just hadn't expected him to remember—not after she saw him leave with Kaia.

She assumed he wouldn't come back tonight.

"I see," she said with a nod. "Go ahead."

She gently moved her hand aside, revealing her baby bump.

Jonah slowly crouched in front of her, his fingers resting on her belly.

With a deep, steady voice, he asked, "Has the baby been good today?"

Hailey nodded. "Yes, very good."

"Then why didn't you eat? I was told you barely touched your food."

He had checked with the maids the moment he came in.

"My appetite's fine," Hailey replied. "Celine and I had dinner out."

Jonah's expression remained unreadable. His voice was calm and distant as he asked, "You went out today?"

Hailey met his gaze, replying truthfully, "Yeah, we went to a club. Funny enough, I saw you there."

She watched Jonah carefully, hoping for the slightest reaction—but his expression gave nothing away.

He pressed a light kiss to her belly before slowly standing up.

Just then, a melodic ringtone echoed through the room—Jonah's phone was ringing.

Hailey glanced down and saw the caller ID—it was Kaia.

Earlier, Kaia had requested to add Jonah on WhatsApp. It seemed she had succeeded, given that she was now calling him directly.

Jonah tapped the screen to answer. "Hello?"

The room was quiet, with only the two of them. Hailey could hear Kaia's sweet voice clearly on the phone. "Mr. Pilsner, I'm waiting for you outside. How much longer will you be?"

Hailey's heart skipped a beat. Kaia was waiting right outside the villa.

"There's no need to wait. I'm coming out now," Jonah said, ending the call.

He stood up and shot Hailey a brief glance. "Get some rest, alright?"

With that, he turned and walked out.
