Chapter 976 About half an hour later, Jonah returned to the villa with Hailey. The maid greeted them politely. "Welcome back, Mr. Pilsner and Ms. Hailey. Would you like me to prepare dinner?" "We've already eaten out," Jonah said. "Just some chicken noodle soup will be fine." "Of course, sir," the maid replied. The chicken noodle soup was specially prepared for Hailey since Jonah was very particular about her diet. She needed to have nourishing soups and supplements every day. It was non-negotiable. Jonah held Hailey's hand as he led her upstairs into their room.

Hailey gently pulled her hand free. "Sit down. Let me redress your wound." Jonah met her gaze. "So, do you understand what you did wrong today?" Hailey stiffened. Was he really going to bring this up now? Was he about to lecture her after everything? "What did I do wrong? Those two men were drunk and made a move on me. Just because I'm attractive doesn't mean I'm at fault. Don't you dare blame a woman for a man's reckless desires!" Jonah let out a frustrated laugh. Even now, she had to be so defiant.

Don't do something so reckless again for your sake and the baby's." Hailey met his eyes. "No, you just don't want me dancing. Every time I do, you're quick to blame me. That's a total double standard." "A double standard? Who exactly am I being unfair to?" "Do I really need to explain? You didn't bat an eye when Ms. Ellington danced. But the second I step on stage, you act like it's a crime." Jonah remained silent for a moment.

Kaia's dancing wasn't his business. Why should he care? What gave him the right to get involved? It was ridiculous. "Forget it. I'm done talking about this!" Hailey snapped. Just as she turned to leave, Jonah suddenly caught her wrist and pulled her close. Startled, she pressed her hands against his chest. "Jonah, what are you doing?" He gently lifted her chin, his eyes fixed on her striking features. "Kaia isn't like you." "In what way?" "She can dance on stage without stirring up any trouble.

beautiful than she is. Don't you realize that yourself?" Hailey's eyes lit up. Was that a compliment? Did he just say she outshone Kaia? Had the sun somehow risen in the west? No... it was still night. It was no secret that women loved to hear compliments. For a fleeting moment, Hailey felt her mood. hten. "Mr Pilsner, was that a mpliment?"

The image of Kaia's diamond bracelet struck her like a cold wave.

They said a man showed his love by where he spent his money, and Jonah had never given her anything. She wasn't about to be fooled by empty words. "Maybe that kind of talk works on someone naive and starstruck, Mr. Pilsner. But I don't believe a word of it." Jonah frowned. "Why not?" "Because I'm nowhere close to being as beautiful or captivating as Ms Ellington. You gifted her that lavish bracelet, yet look at my wristolt's completely empty." Hailey raised her hand deliberately, making sure he saw her bare wrist.
