Bella's face lit up with excitement. "Really? I can?"

"Of course you can!" Hailey replied. "Unless... you don't want to have a sleepover with me anymore?"

Bella nodded eagerly. "I do!"

Celine smiled. "Hailey, wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient to take Bella back tonight?"

"Not at all, Celine. Bella used to sleep over at my place all the time," Hailey said.

"That was before," Celine pointed out, glancing at Jonah. "Things are different now-you're with Mr. Pilsner. I'm not sure if he'd be okay with it."

Jonah's lips curved into a warm smile. "I don't mind at all. In fact, I really like Bella."

Bella clapped her hands with excitement. "Yay! That means I get to sleep with Aunt Hailey tonight!"

Not wanting to dampen Bella's enthusiasm, Celine smiled and said, "Alright then, Hailey. I'll leave Bella with you. I'll head out first."

"Bella, say goodbye to Mommy."

"Bye-bye, Mommy!"

Once Celine left, Hailey picked up Bella and climbed into Jonah's luxury car.

Jonah drove, while Hailey and Bella sat in the backseat.
