NovelTrue---- Chapter 822 Jonah had no choice but to take his lips off Hailey, pick up the phone, and answer, "Hello,
Cedrick..." As he took the call, his gaze stayed intensely locked on her. Noticing this, Hailey bit her lip and let her
hand roam freely. Her actions cause Jonah's breathing to grow uneven. Cedrick's voice cfrom the other end.
"Jonah, are you and Ms. Hailey done freshening up? I've reserved the restaurant. When shall we head out?"
Jonah's breathing quickened. Cedrick grew puzzled. "Jonah? Why aren't you saying anything? What's going on?
Why is your breathing so labored?
With his eyes flushed, Jonah muttered, "Cedrick... we'll be ready... soon..." "Jonah, it's fine. Take your time. Here |
thought you were trying to be celibate, but it turns out you already found yourself a girlfriend. Jonah couldn't
hear what Cedrick said after that. Every sensation seemed to have condensed into a single point, followed by a
burst of dazzling white light. It felt as though countless fireworks exploded in his mind at the stime. With
that, he collapsed onto Hailey's shoulder. ---- "Jonah? Jonah..." Cedrick's voice continued on the phone.
Still holding onto his phone, Jonah muttered with a hoarse voice, "Cedrick, I'll call you back later." "Alright,"
Cedrick replied. With that, Jonah hung up and began kissing Hailey's cheek again, then slowly moved toward her
lips. She was his first woman-and only woman-a delicate, sweet heiress. Jonah was now a grown man, and after
three years of yearning, he had grown to crave her more and more. His desire was no longer something he could
control. It was intense, dangerously so. Hailey's love for him was just as strong. She returned the kiss, wrapping

However, remembering they still had serious business tonight , Jonah released his grip on her. "Let's clean up
first and go see Cedrick." Hailey nodded. "I have something to discuss with him." Jonah said, "If you need help,
just say the word." She knew he wasn't the poor young man Declan Zamora once was-he was Jonah Pilsner now,
a rising star in the business world. She knew how to live with Declan , but she had no idea what things would be
like with his new identity as Jonah. Hailey could only nod. "Alright." ---- After freshening up, the two headed out
and met Cedrick at the restaurant.
Cedrick had reserved a Frankian restaurant. Once the food was served and the atmosphere warmed up, Hailey
took the chance to speak up. "Mr. Morrison , | know it's a bit bold ofto bring this up, but | chere today
because | have a favor to ask of you." Cedrick looked at her. "Ms. Hailey, it's about Lambert Group, right?" Hailey
blinked in surprise. "You knew?" Cedrick smiled. "Of course | knew. Jonah toldabout it. You're the heiress of
Lambert Group, aren't you?" Hailey turned to look at Jonah, surprised that he had told Cedrick in advance.
Cedrick continued, "Lately, Lambert Group has been in turmoil, and its reputation has taken a hit. From a
business standpoint, | should be pulling out of the partnership." "Mr. Morrison, please letexplain-" "'No need
to worry, Ms. Hailey. Jonah already filledin. He and | go way back, so I'll give Lambert Group a chance. I'm
not terminating the partnership." "Mr, Morrison isn't pulling out?" Hailey's eyes lit up enthusiastically as she
wondered to herself. ---- "That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Mr. Morrison." "But Ms.
