The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 867

Hailey reached out, her hand resting on Jonah's arm. "Are you okay?"

Jonah shook his head. "That's what I should be asking you. Did Justin say anything out of line? I didn't realize he and Joanne had been giving you trouble before, but don't worry—I won't let anyone treat you poorly moving forward."

A warm sensation spread through Hailey's chest—Jonah always showered her with such tenderness and concern.

"Justin didn't say anything too harsh," she murmured. "I just don't want to come between you two. I know how much he cares about you. You've been like brothers for years."

Jonah's lips curled into a smile as he reassured her, "Don't worry. Justin and I won't have a fallout. I just needed him to understand—you're mine, and no one has the right to come between us."

Hailey felt deeply touched by his words, but then something troubling crossed her mind.

"By the way, Jonah," she said, "Justin was acting really strange today. I couldn't make sense of half the things he said. He accused me of being with Ewan, of betraying you… but when did that ever—"

Before she could finish, Jonah placed his hand gently on her shoulder, his voice soft and reassuring. "It's fine. Don't let Justin get to you. Even if you were with Ewan in the past, it doesn't matter now. I don't mind, I really don't."

"But…"

She hadn't been with Ewan.

Hailey was about to speak, but Jonah interrupted her once again. He reached out and playfully ruffled her hair. "Alright, enough talk about things that upset you. Ms. Hailey, all that matters is that you're mine now."

Hailey stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "And I'll be yours in the future too."

Jonah leaned down, attempting to steal a kiss in return, but Hailey flashed a playful smile and dodged away. "Not now—back to work," she said.

She returned to her seat, focusing on her design drafts.

Jonah chuckled softly before getting back to reviewing his documents.

As the sky outside darkened, Jeremy entered the office. "Sir, about tonight's schedule—"

"Cancel everything. From now on, I'm out of here at 6:00 pm sharp," Jonah cut in.

Jeremy blinked, caught completely off guard.
