Hailey was left speechless by Jonah's remark.
Kaia was usually sharp-tongued, quick with a cutting remark. She had plenty to say, but Jonah's gentle "my lady" left her completely speechless.
That simple phrase was the most heartfelt thing she had ever heard. It was more meaningful than any "babe" or "darling" could ever sound.
Grumbling, Kaia stayed quiet.
Hailey gave Jonah a sharp look that said, "Alright, you win."
Jonah smiled.
…
Soon, they arrived at the bar.
Justin and Joanne had both shown up. Jonah led Hailey and Kaia to a private luxury booth, where a few trust fund kids were already waiting.
Everyone took their seats. Justin looked at Hailey and asked, "Ms. Hailey, what are you doing here?"
Hailey replied, "Your best friend, Jonah, invited me. Honestly, I wasn't planning on coming."
Justin had no retort and wondered if Hailey had lost her mind.
Joanne looked at Hailey and Kaia with pure disdain. She hated both of them.
When two women crossed paths, some tension was expected. But with three of them together, it was practically a full-blown soap opera.
Joanne sneered. "Jonah, seems like all your old flames and new flames decided to show up tonight."
Kaia turned to Joanne and said, "Ms. Lilton, Ms. Hailey and I are Mr. Pilsner's current partner and old flame. What about you? You've been hanging around him so long—don't tell me you're just a background character."
Kaia's words hit like a slap.
Furious, Joanne clenched her fists.
Hailey said nothing, sitting quietly and watching the show unfold.
"I knew it. Only Ms. Hailey could ever get hold of a man like him."
Off to the side, Joanne and Kaia could only watch, speechless.
It was Hailey's moment now. After all, she was the one carrying Jonah's child.
This was the perfect example of how a child could change everything. With a baby, everything was different.
Jonah called out, "Someone bring a warm glass of milk."
Moments later, a server arrived with it. "Mr. Pilsner, your milk."
Jonah set the glass down beside Hailey. "No other drinks tonight. Just this."
Hailey, of course, had to think of the baby.
"Alright," she replied.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
