The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 511

Declan looked at James and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Lambert."

Everyone knew James was the university president and Declan was his student- there was no need for introductions.

James acknowledged him with a slight nod before turning to Hailey and extending his hand. "Hailey, it's time to go home."

Hailey hesitated, her gaze flickering toward Declan. She had planned for Declan to take her home, but now that her father had arrived, she had little choice. Slowly, she walked over to James' side.

James turned back to Declan with a kind expression. "It's late, Declan. Why don't you come along? I can drop you off first."

Declan shook his head. "Thank you, Mr. Lambert, but I'll head home on my own."

James nodded. "Alright. Stay safe, and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out."

With that, he led Hailey away.

As they walked away, Hailey glanced back at Declan, reluctance evident in her

eyes. She gave a small wave, her hand lingering in the air.

Declan stood motionless, silently watching her disappear into the night.
