Chapter 117

Across the street, the man’s sharp, piercing gaze was impossible to ignore.

‘Did you

find out?” He watched Mia, but his words were directed at Leo in the driver’s seat.

Leo’s fingers flew across his phone screen. “I haven’t found out who Ms. Carter was here to meet yet, but it definitely wasn’t Jaxon Rivers. I just heard that Mr. Rivers is currently at Nightfall Bar.”

Mhm.” Ethan let out a noncommittal sound, his expression unreadable and deep.

Leo paused for a second before asking, “Do you want me to keep digging into who she met?”

Ethan withdrew his gaze and straightened his slightly wrinkled shirt collar. “No need.”

He wasn’t interested in who Mia was meeting. Knowing it wasn’t Jaxon was enough.

Leo quickly put his phone away and asked tentatively, “Then should we…?”

Go over there,” Ethan said, his thin lips barely moving.

eo hit the gas, and the Maybach quickly performed a U-turn before pulling up right in front of Mia.

Mia stood still as the cold early spring wind tore through the street. It whipped against her, cutting through her :lothes and making her body temperature drop lower and lower.

The wind made her eyes water. She stared blankly as the man stepped out of the car.

Ethan was naturally handsome, and his sharp, well-defined features only added to the raw magnetism he radiated rom head to toe. The bright streetlights bathed him in a glow, stretching his tall, lean silhouette across the

Ethan, I hope that from now on, you treat me like the most ordinary employee at Bayview,” Mia interrupted, her voice steady despite the cold. “So ordinary that you don’t even remember who I am.”

Mia’s fingers gripped her bag strap so tightly her knuckles turned white, the faint blue veins visible through her ikin.

Ethan’s gaze sharpened. “Even if I remember who you are, you’re just as ordinary as any other employee.”

Getting the words she wanted didn’t make Mia feel any better. Her brows knit together, and a sudden, metallic

bitterness rose in her throat.

She told herself a thousand times that as long as she could leave and give birth to this child safely, nothing else mattered. It didn’t matter what Ethan thought of her.

But her heart betrayed her. She couldn’t remain indifferent.

She lowered her eyelids to hide the faint sorrow in her eyes, though a small, forced smile played on her lips. “Thank you for taking care of me over the years, Mr. Hale.”

Ethan stared at her for a few seconds, taking in the stubbornness and the unidentifiable emotions written all over her small face. An inexplicable wave of irritation surged in his chest. He turned and walked away without another

word.

Back in the car, he coldly ordered Leo, “Drive.”

‘Mr. Hale, are we going back to the villa or…?” Leo glanced at Mia in the rearview mirror. It was obvious the conversation hadn’t gone well, but Leo couldn’t figure out why.
