The Divorce Prescription

Ewan took another step forward, staring deeply at Hailey. "Hailey, I don't love Melody anymore. I've fallen for you."

Hailey felt her mind go blank when she heard Ewan say he didn't love Melody anymore and that he fell for her instead.

She never expected Ewan, the same man who once cheated on her and looked down on her, to suddenly have a change of heart and fall for her instead.

While she was still in a daze, Ewan reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Hailey's petite frame was soft, and the faint scent unique to her filled his senses. He tightened his hold on her. "Hailey, let's be together."

...

Moments ago, Declan stood outside the house.

He had come to see Hailey, but just as he was about to step in, a flashy sports car

pulled up.

Ewan had arrived.

Declan watched as Ewan knocked on the door, and Hailey answered it.

And now, from where he stood, he watched as Ewan held her tightly in his arms.

Declan's hands balled up tightly into fists so hard that his knuckles cracked.

The sight before him felt like a sharp blade plunging straight into his heart.

But after a few moments, he slowly relaxed his grip. Hadn't he wanted to push Hailey away?

Well, he succeeded.

Slowly, Declan turned around and walked away.

Inside, Hailey shoved Ewan off her. "Ewan, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Ewan stumbled back, nearly crashing into the door.

Hailey's gaze was cold and distant. "Ewan, I never realized how delusional you are. Let me make one thing clear-your breakup with Melody has nothing to do with me. I will never be with you."

Ewan froze. "Why?"

Hailey let out a frustrated sigh. "You really don't know? Fine, I'll tell you again—

Ewan, I don't love you anymore."

Ewan shook his head in denial. "No, I don't believe it."

"Ewan, I admit that I used to think I

loved you, but that was just

admiration. You were like an older

brother to me. Back then, I didn'tnoveldrama

even understand what it really meant to love someone.

"That changed when I met Declan. When he was around, I thought about him.

When he wasn't, I still thought about him. I have never felt this way about anyone before.

"He is the first person I have ever loved."

Ewan's expression became twisted. He had always believed that Hailey loved him.

"Hailey, you're lying. You don't actually love Declan. You're just using him to make me jealous."

"Ewan, stop letting your imaginations run all over the place. At this rate, you might want to see a psychiatrist. Declan isn't a tool to provoke you. He is the person I love!"

With that, Hailey shoved him out the door.

Ewan turned back in frustration. "Hailey, I don't believe you. Playing hard to get can backfire. I've already broken up with Melody, and I have fallen for you. What else do you want?"

Hailey was utterly exasperated. "I want you to disappear from my house and my life!"

With that, she slammed the door shut in his face.

Ewan stood there, dumbfounded. He refused to believe it. He couldn't accept that Hailey didn't love him anymore.

How was Declan better than him? Why would Hailey choose Declan over him?

It was simply unacceptable!
