The joy Hailey had felt just moments ago completely disappeared, replaced by disappointment.
She had been so sure it was Declan. She never expected to see Ewan standing at her door instead.
At that moment, Linda rushed over and draped a coat over Hailey's shoulders. "Ms. Hailey, put this on before you catch a cold."
Hailey turned to her. "Linda, is he the one who came to see me?"
Linda nodded. "Yes, Ms. Hailey, It's Mr. Ewan. I didn't manage to finish explaining before you bolted down."
Unwilling to give up, Hailey asked, "Was there no one else who came to see me?"
Linda shook her head. "Nope. Who were you expecting?"
Declan didn't come?
Ewan studied Hailey's expression, then said, "You were expecting Declan to come instead, weren't you?"
Hailey didn't bother to deny it. "Yes. Ewan, why are you here?"
Ewan's expression darkened. "I heard you had a fever and were sick, so I came to check on you."
"I'm not dying. Thanks for your concern." With that, Hailey reached out to close the door.
But Ewan shoved his hand against it, keeping it open. "Hailey, what's your problem? The moment I heard you were sick, I rushed over, but you're acting like you don't even want to see me."
Hailey looked him in the eye. "I'm not acting like I don't want to see you. I just simply don't."
Ewan's expression darkened in frustration. "You're unbelievable, Hailey!"
Hailey retorted, "Ewan, your girlfriend is Melody. How many times do I have to remind you? A proper ex should act like they're dead. Don't show up in my life anymore."
Ewan took a step closer, closing the gap between them.
He stared at Hailey—her delicate face, her soft pink silk nightgown, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders, her bright and captivating eyes. She was positively alluring.
Hailey never wore makeup, yet her natural beauty was striking.

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!...
