The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1052

Jonah's lips curved into a smile. "Honey, do you really want me to come home?" he asked.

Hailey's voice was soft and sweet as she replied, "I want to cuddle with you while I sleep."

Her coquettish tone made Jonah's whole body weaken. Since Hailey's pregnancy, their intimate moments had become rare, and even a little teasing from her was enough to stir him.

Gripping his phone tightly, Jonah replied, "As much as I'd love to cuddle you and the baby, I've got an urgent matter at the office tonight. I can't leave yet."

A faint disappointment tugged at Hailey's heart. "Alright then… But you have to promise to rest too."

"Okay."

Once the call ended, Hailey lay alone in bed. Without Jonah there, the room felt especially cold and empty.

Nonetheless, she didn't want to interrupt him at work. She placed her hand on her belly and whispered, "My little one, Daddy's busy right now. Looks like it's just the two of us tonight."

Suddenly, the baby gave Hailey a little kick, as though silently reassuring her, "Mommy, I'm here."

Hailey smiled. She closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.

…

After Jonah ended the call, Justin stood up, a playful grin on his face.

"Jonah, you and Ms. Hailey are getting a bit too affectionate for my liking. If it weren't for Rebecca's situation, I would've already walked out."

Jonah slipped his phone back into his pocket. "What would a single guy like you understand? This is the joy of being a married man."

Justin was momentarily stunned.

Did Jonah really need to rub it in like that?

"Anyway, let's focus on finding a solution," Justin said.

Jonah took a seat. "Alright."
