Mia leaned back against the sofa, watching the little “meatball” sleeping in the stroller. Her hand rested on her ower abdomen. She couldn’t even imagine what the little guy inside her looked like yet.

She had the legal right to refuse a paternity test. But the Hale family had overwhelming power. Could she really resist them?

I should be able to save up enough money before the baby is born. Then I’ll resign and leave Northbrook.”

Vina nodded in agreement. “If the baby comes out looking exactly like Ethan, you won’t be able to run even if you

want to.”

At the thought of that possibility, a suffocating sense of dread washed over Mia. She pinched the bridge of her 1ose. “Aunt May told me to get an abortion.”

She’s insane!” Nina’s face darkened. “What is wrong with that woman? She does ‘charity’ work but she doesn’t have a shred of decency in her mouth!”

Chapter 179

Mia Carter told Nina Torres everything Carly had said, word for word.

“I just feel like something is off.”

“She…” Nina started to speak, but the little meatball in her arms suddenly began to wail at the top of his lungs.

She immediately stood up, rocking Toby Torres to soothe him. “Alright, alright, don’t cry. Mommy’s here…”

Nina paced around the room with the baby, shooting Mia a look.

“Go to my room and rest for a bit. Look at you-you’ve been so busy lately, your face looks terrible.”

Mia took off her coat and stood up, heading toward Nina’s bedroom.

“I’ll sleep for a while then. I’ll help you with the baby when I wake up.”

“Sure. Let him lie on your belly for a bit to bond with my future daughter-in-law.”

Nina patted Toby’s little bottom. “When it’s time to get a wife, trust your godmother. The genes from her and Ethan Hale are definitely going to be top-tier…”

Mia’s head throbbed at the mere mention of Ethan’s name.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

In a state of half-slumber, she dreamed that Ethan had summoned her to his office to interrogate her about the

pregnancy.

When she finally woke up, it was already late afternoon.

Nina was in the nursery with the baby; they had both just woken up from a nap as well.

Mia helped Nina with the baby until evening. After dinner, she headed home just as Nina was setting up her

ivestream to start work.

The next morning.

The early summer morning in Northbrook carried a lingering chill.

Mia wore a black trench coat over a black-and-white patterned dress.

She had just stepped into her office when Stella Lewis knocked and entered.

‘Mia, Mr. Hale wants you to go upstairs as soon as you arrive.”

A chill ran down Mia’s spine. “Got it.”

She set her bag down and took a moment to mentally prepare herself before heading up to the top floor.

It felt like a repeat of her dream.

The only difference was that when she entered Ethan’s office, the first people she saw were Grandma Hale and Lila Hale.

“Mia, has taking over the Government Partnership Initiative been very exhausting lately?”

Seeing her enter, Grandma Hale set down her teacup and smiled warmly, beckoning her over to sit.

“Grandma,” Mia walked over and gave a slight nod. “It’s been busy, but it’s fulfilling.”

Before she could even stand still, Lila pulled her down to sit between them.
