Chapter 184
He felt a pang of guilt. “Is she actually angry? I didn’t mean it that way. I’m trying to help, aren’t I?”
He scratched his head, thinking he needed to find a time to meet Mia in person to talk this through.
At the Bennett home.
A photocopy of Mia’s medical records sat on the coffee table.
Are you sure you didn’t mishear her?” Sandra Bennett asked Chloe. “She looks pregnant to me, but her belly hasn’t eally popped yet. I can’t be one hundred percent sure.”
Between mishearing and misseeing, anything was possible. After all, the diagnostic records didn’t mention a
›regnancy!
Chloe was certain. “She is definitely pregnant. These records… something is wrong with them!”
The chances of the records being faked are much lower than the chances of you mishearing a conversation,”
Sandra countered.
Chloe hadn’t slept well for days, her anxiety burning through her. Sandra felt her heart ache for her daughter. Chloe, why are you so anxious? Are you hiding something from me?”
I… Chloe was so frustrated she couldn’t speak.
After a long moment, she choked out, “Mom, Mia is definitely pregnant. I’ll hire someone to follow her. I don’t >elieve for a second I won’t find proof!”
With that, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “I want you to tail Mia Carter every day. Report her very move to me immediately!”
Yes, Ms. Bennett!” the voice on the other end replied eagerly.
Alright, now that it’s arranged, stop worrying. Come on, listen to your mother and eat some fruit.” Sandra >rought a fruit platter over and held a piece of apple to Chloe’s lips.
But Chloe’s mind was entirely consumed by Mia’s pregnancy. She took a bite, her eyes distant and unfocused…
For two days in a row, Jaxon asked to meet Mia, but she refused him every time.
She was buried in work. When she finally managed to carve out some free time, she was immediately dragged to the mall by Lila Hale.
“We’re running out of time! We have to pick out dresses and gifts. If we don’t do it now, it’ll be too late,” Lila said, hooking her arm through Mia’s and pulling her into a high-end boutique.
“Grandma already picked out a dress style for you. You just need to see if it fits.”
As soon as they entered, Lila pointed to a burgundy gown in the display case. “Look! This color will look amazing on you!”

Mia hadn’t expected them to have already ordered a dress. A shop assistant took the gown down and handed it to her, leading her to the fitting room.
The dress had a slightly flared silhouette, with two thin straps resting on Mia’s shoulders. It showcased her delicate collarbones while the skirt perfectly masked her slight bump. You couldn’t tell she was pregnant at all; instead, it only served to accentuate her elegant figure.
‘It’s perfect!” Lila’s eyes lit up when Mia stepped out.
