‘I know what I’m doing,” Ethan said.

Grandma Hale shot him a look. “That poor girl, Mia… she would never remarry you anyway.”

Ethan found the words grating. Clearly, he was the one who wouldn’t remarry Mia. Wasn’t that the reality?

Get out,” Grandma Hale said, waving him away. “You’re blocking your grandfather from coming in to sleep.”

Ethan turned around to see Grandpa Hale standing at the door. He stepped aside. “Grandpa.”

Mhm,” Grandpa Hale grunted. “Getting engaged isn’t child’s play. Think long and hard before you act.”

Ethan nodded. “I understand.”

Mia had just walked through her front door when her phone rang. It was Evelyn Ford.

Evelyn liked her a lot. Apparently, texting wasn’t enough, so she had called to chat. “Why did you just get home?”

Mia rubbed her temples, unable to hide her exhaustion. “Traffic was a bit heavy.”

When she was Ethan’s secretary, the company had provided her with a car. After transferring to the Logistics Department, she had returned the vehicle. Now she took the bus to and from work, which took twice as long as

›efore.

Fortunately, she’d be leaving soon.

You’re pregnant. Doesn’t your husband pick you up?” Evelyn asked casually as she toyed with her nails. “How is his amily? Do they bully you because you’re an orphan?”

Mia hesitated for a moment. “Probably not. I can see Mr. Ford treats you very well. I’m sure he’ll be a great father when you have kids.”

She skillfully changed the subject, and Evelyn took the bait.

Of course! My requirement for him is that he doesn’t have to be a perfect husband, but he must be a good father. My family isn’t as wealthy as his, but my parents doted on me. Let me tell you, family is incredibly important for a :hild. You have to make sure your husband is involved in the child’s life. That’s the only way a kid grows up healthy…”

Mia’s heart skipped a beat, and her grip on the phone tightened.

Sensing her silence, Evelyn realized she might have hit a sore spot. Her husband was likely a cold, distant man. ‘Well, it doesn’t matter. As long as the child has a father, it’s better than nothing.”

Her attempt at comfort felt like another knife to Mia’s heart.

After the call ended, Mia’s mind was a mess.

That night, she dreamed she was back in high school. Her striking looks and top-tier grades had made her the center of attention, but most people focused on her status as an orphan. They whispered about her behind her back.

On the surface, she never let those rumors get to her, but deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a hollow sense of sadness. She had spent countless nights crying into her pillow.

Mia tossed and turned all night, barely sleeping. The next morning, she arrived at the office with dark circles under her eyes.

The moment she stepped into the Logistics Department, she saw people from every team huddled together, whispering excitedly.

‘Mia!” Tyler Evans hurried toward her, looking thrilled. “Congratulations!”
