The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 983

The moment Jonah saw Kaia dancing at the bar, he knew she was anything but innocent—she was after him deliberately.

The only reason he kept Kaia close was because everyone called her "Little Hailey".

He wanted to see how Hailey would react to another woman by his side—someone with questionable intentions, someone who mirrored her like a shadow.

Would jealousy flare? Would she finally show if he mattered to her at all?

No one else's words mattered. He needed to see it with his own eyes.

And now, he had his answer.

Hailey had been restless and unsettled since Kaia showed up by his side these past few days. She was nothing like herself.

She was jealous, which meant she still cared.

Upon noticing the amusement in his eyes, Hailey's anger only intensified. "Jonah, you've changed. You were never like this before."

Jonah grabbed her wrist, pinning her to the bed. "I changed because of you."

"Because of me?"

"Yeah. I wanted to become the kind of man you'd actually fall for."

Her heart softened instantly. "But Jonah… didn't you say we were over?"

"I don't get to decide what this is between us. Only you do. We're only finished when you say we are. Do you understand?"

In other words, the choice was hers alone.

Without hesitation, Hailey closed the distance and kissed him.

Jonah was caught off guard briefly, but then he responded, taking control. It had been days since they'd shared a moment like this, and he gave himself fully to the kiss, mirroring her every movement.

Hailey wrapped her arms around his neck, returning his kiss with equal passion.

But after a moment, Jonah broke away.

Her eyes shimmered, still dazed from the kiss. "What's wrong?"

His voice was low and rough. "Are you ready?"

"Does it still hurt?" he whispered.

Hailey's lips curled into a sly smile. "Mr. Pilsner, now that you've gotten what you wanted, are you really trying to act innocent?"

Without hesitation, Jonah claimed her lips once more.

But Hailey didn't let him stay in control. She grabbed the tie around his neck and pulled him from the bathroom all the way into the bedroom. With a firm push, she sent him sprawling onto the bed.

Now straddling him boldly, she asked, "Mr. Pilsner, do you still have it in you?"

A flicker of surprise sparked in Jonah's eyes. "What do you have in mind, Ms. Hailey?"

"I've already satisfied you. Now it's your turn to satisfy me. I want you."

With that, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his.

Jonah's arms tightened around her slender waist, pulling her closer as their kiss deepened.

"Ms. Hailey, I'm ready whenever you are."
