The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 814

Hailey's heart skipped a beat—Ewan's instincts were sharp. He had figured it out.

"Mr. Morrison, they're not really a couple! Don't let them fool you!" Ewan quickly turned to Cedrick, trying to expose them.

Hailey quickly retorted, "Mr. Morrison, I am Jonah's girlfriend. Don't listen to him."

"Hailey, if you're truly Mr. Pilsner's girlfriend, then prove it," Ewan challenged.

"And how exactly do you want me to prove it?"

"Kiss Mr. Pilsner."

Ewan had to be losing his mind—did he actually expect her to kiss Jonah?

She turned to Jonah, only to find his cold, piercing gaze meeting hers.

Their eyes locked, and Hailey felt a slight tension in the air.

"What's wrong, Hailey? Are you afraid to kiss him? I knew it! You and Mr. Pilsner are just putting on an act. Don't think I don't see through you. Mr. Morrison can't stand liars—once he finds out you're a fraud, he'll throw you out on the spot!" Ewan snapped.

"Who said I'm afraid? Jonah is my boyfriend, and I'll kiss him whenever I want!"

With that, Hailey rose onto her tiptoes, closing the distance between her and Jonah. In a whisper, she asked, "Mr. Pilsner, the situation is urgent. May I kiss you?"

Jonah caught the subtle scent of Hailey's perfume, a smirk curling at the corners of his lips. "Of course. If we're going to pretend, we might as well commit to the role fully."

Hailey had been nervous he might decline, but with his approval, she didn't hesitate. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.

His lips were firm yet cool, and the sensation was unexpectedly pleasant. It triggered a flood of memories, pulling her thoughts back to Declan.

Though three years had passed, Declan remained her first love—the man who had shown her the depth of passion. The tender, intimate moments they had shared still lingered in her mind.

Hailey nodded. "I've played a few rounds with my dad, but I'm not really a fan of the sport, so I'm not great at it."

"That's alright, Ms. Hailey," Cedrick replied with a reassuring nod. "Jonah is an excellent golfer—he can teach you. How about we play a round together?"

Jonah let out a chuckle. "A round sounds great, Cedrick, but what's in it for us if we win?"

"If you win, I'll treat both of you to dinner tonight."

The offer was too tempting to pass up. A dinner with Cedrick would give Hailey the perfect opportunity to discuss Lambert Group's situation.

Her eyes lit up with excitement. "Deal, Mr. Morrison! Jonah and I won't hold back!"

Cedrick chuckled heartily. "Alright, Ms. Hailey, let's see what you've got!"
