The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 575

Declan remained silent for a moment before gently pulling Hailey's hands away from him.

Declan smirked. "You want? Everything you've said has been about what you want. You're forcing your ideas onto me."

Hailey shook her head again. "Declan, I really didn't mean it like that..."
