"Declan, I have a fever!" Hailey texted.
Declan kept one hand in his pocket, choosing not to reply.
Just then, his phone received another notification.
Another message from Hailey popped up.
"Declan, my head hurts. Can you come and check on me?"
"Declan, I don't think you meant those things you said. There must be a reason why you treated me that way."
"Declan, if you come over now, I'll forgive you. We can still be happy together."
Hailey kept sending messages, and Declan's phone notifications kept going off.
He could already picture her expression—perhaps a little stubborn, a little frustrated, yet undeniably captivating.
Walking alone on the street, Declan gripped his phone tightly. He couldn't go to her. His rational mind told him he shouldn't do that.
At a time when he had nothing, he had somehow found the woman he wanted to protect and cherish for a lifetime.
How ironic.
Declan turned to head home.
Another message came in. "Declan, I miss you."
His footsteps halted.
A few seconds later, he spun around and sprinted in the opposite direction—straight toward her.
Half an hour later, Declan stood outside the Lambert residence. Warm lights glowed inside, casting a comforting ambiance.
Declan stood there for a moment, his hands clenching into fists, then relaxing, then clenching again.
After a long inner struggle, he finally stepped forward.
…
Inside her bedroom, Hailey sat curled up on her bed, phone in hand, waiting for a reply. But Declan never responded.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
