The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 599

Hailey looked at Declan. "Declan, are you staying tonight?"

Declan had just finished coaxing Stella and had snuck back. He still had to leave before dawn, but for now, he had a little time.

"I'll stay until you fall asleep," he said.

Hailey lifted the blanket and patted the empty space beside her. "Then get in. It's warm."

Declan slid under the covers, lying beside her. Hailey curled up next to him, resting her head on his arm. Then, she gazed up at him.

Declan felt a piece of his heart soften. He reached out and pulled Hailey into his arms.

The two of them held each other tightly. Declan glanced at Aileen, who was sleeping soundly beside Hailey.

"When did Aileen fall asleep?" he asked.

"Around 10:00 pm. She was studying until then-her exams start tomorrow. She'll be testing for three days. I'll take her to the exam hall in the morning, so you don't have to worry."
