No, Declan couldn't. He hardened his heart and pushed Hailey away. "Hailey, I'll say it again. We have no future. Go home."
Hailey wanted to say something. "But I…"
"Hailey," he called her name with extra weight in his voice. "Don't make things harder for me. Go home."
If he had said anything else, maybe she wouldn't have left. But he said not to make things harder for him.
Hailey let go of him and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back at him one last time. Then, she waved her small hand. "Goodbye, Declan. If anything happens, call me, okay? I'll always be waiting for your call."
Then, just like that, her delicate figure disappeared from sight.
Declan watched her walk away. She was so obedient and so well-behaved. He really didn't want to let her go.
But he had things to do.
Just then, his phone rang, the familiar chime breaking the silence. It was a call from Stella.
Declan answered, and Stella's voice came through immediately. "Declan, where are you right now? My dad's here. He's looking for you. Come back quickly."
Bob was here.
Declan ended the call, slipped his phone back into his pocket, and turned to leave.
Stella was already waiting at the entrance when he arrived. "Declan, you're here. Where's that waitress? Why did you take her away? What's your relationship with her?"
He looked at Stella. "I…"
"Shh, Declan, you don't have to explain anything. As long as you belong to me, that's all that matters. I didn't tattle to my dad either."

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!...
