Chapter 127

It wasn’t that he was unworthy of being a father to Jaxon’s child.

It was that he was unworthy of ever being with Mia again..

After all, he had reached the point of getting engaged to Chloe. He was “second-hand” now.

“Grandma, what should we do?” Lila shook Grandma Hale’s arm. “We have to help Mia!”

Grandma Hale looked deeply calculating, the wrinkles on her face folding into a dozen sharp lines.

“Your brother is about to get engaged. Let’s suppress this for now. Once the engagement is over, I’ll go have a talk with the Rivers family!”

She was determined to back Mia up!

Lila puffed out her chest. “I’m going too!”

Finally, the day before the engagement, Mia had nothing left to do and could finally catch her breath.

She met with Nina to discuss where to go after leaving Northbrook.

They couldn’t go back to Emerald Bay, just in case something went wrong with Jaxon.

Nina suggested they meet at the orphanage. They had both been busy lately and hadn’t been back in a long time.

By the time Mia arrived after work, it was dinner time.

Mia and Nina prepared a table of delicious food and sat down to eat with the children.

I think South Haven is quite good,” Nina said, moving South Haven to the top of her list. “It’s just a bit far from

Northbrook.”

‘Far is good,” Mia replied.

Nina pursed her lips. “True. You haven’t been demoted for very long, so news of it shouldn’t have reached South Haven yet. Hopefully, it won’t affect your job search.”

Mia shook her head. “It can’t be hidden forever. My future employment will likely be very unstable.”

If she had left her position as the CEO’s secretary at Bayview under a mutual agreement, she wouldn’t have to worry about her next job. But now, everything was an unknown.

‘If it’s unstable, then don’t leave.”

Aunt May walked over and chimed in. “What’s the point of running so far away just to suffer and work yourself to

death?”

Nina smiled at Aunt May. “We have savings. Don’t you worry. We’ll make sure you and the children are taken care

of.”

Hearing this, Aunt May’s face dropped. “What do you mean, ‘me and the children’? It’s all money for the kids! You two grew up in this orphanage…”

Every time they returned, they were subjected to one of Aunt May’s lectures.

Mia listened quietly. Nina rolled her eyes where Aunt May couldn’t see.

‘So, if you don’t have to leave, don’t. If you really have that much in savings… just take it all out and spend it on the

kids!”

With a broad wave of her hand, Aunt May suggested they empty out every cent of the savings they had

accumulated over the past few years.

Nina’s expression shifted slightly. “That’s going too far. Yes, it’s true we grew up here, but not a single penny of the orphanage’s money went toward our education! We’ve already paid everything back over the years. Are you trying to bleed us dry with a single sentence?”

Mia had relied on scholarships, and Nina had started her career in social media before even finishing college. They were the two most successful people to come out of the orphanage, and they had given back the most.

The savings they had were gathered only after ensuring the children never lacked food or clothing!

Aunt May couldn’t win an argument against Nina, so she shut her mouth.

Nina let out a cold snort and stood up to walk out of the room.

The atmosphere grew awkward and stiff. Mia was about to follow Nina out when her sleeve was tugged.

Mia, no matter where you go, I’ll come find you once I grow up and start making money!”

The little girl was Carly, currently the only healthy child in the orphanage.

Carly had come to the orphanage three years ago when she was six. Rumor had it her parents had died in an accident, and after being passed around between various distant relatives who didn’t want her, she ended up here.

She lived her life with extreme caution, which broke Mia’s heart. Later, Mia and Nina would talk to her constantly intil she finally regained her childhood innocence and joy.

Carly is the best. You have to study hard, okay? I’ll come back to visit when I can. I’m just going away for work, do

You understand?”

Mia looked into Carly’s eyes, seeing the girl’s reluctance to let go. She placed a small chicken drumstick in Carly’s bowl. “If you want to study hard and make money, you need a healthy body first. Eat more.”

Carly nodded vigorously and began to eat in large bites.

After dinner, Carly insisted on helping them clear the table, following them around and calling them “Mia and ‘Nina” every second.

She was the hardest thing to leave behind at the orphanage.

Not far away, Aunt May watched the scene, a sharp glint of calculation flashing in her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the engagement arrived.

The entire Group 16 had been dispatched to help at the engagement party venue.
