Chapter 187

Mia Carter’s eyes flickered, and her porcelain skin lost a bit of its color, turning slightly pale.

Yet, her heart felt lighter than ever before.

‘When is the wedding?” she asked.

‘In four months. Late August or early September.”

Lila Hale had only heard Miranda Hale mention it in passing and hadn’t bothered to remember the exact date.

Late August or early September happened to be right around Mia’s due date.

Mia forced a faint smile and chatted with Grandpa and Grandma Hale. After a while, a guest came up to greet Grandpa Hale. Mia took the opportunity to slip out of the lounge, hoping to leave before anyone noticed.

However, as soon as she got downstairs, she ran right into Ethan Hale as he stepped out of the elevator.

Ethan was dressed in a custom black suit, his tall, powerful frame cutting an imposing figure. In his hand, he was carrying a small pink bag-it clearly belonged to Chloe Bennett.

Chloe was nowhere to be seen.

Mr. Hale, Mia acknowledged with a slight nod.

Her sudden appearance made Ethan freeze for a moment. The burgundy gown made her skin look like snow, and her delicate features, even without makeup, were breathtaking. There was a hint of sophisticated charm in her yes, yet a trace of innocence remained, a contrast that wasn’t out of place on her face.

His gaze deepened as he stared at her.

Mia assumed he was unhappy she was there. “I just came to drop off a gift,” she explained. “I’m leaving now.”

Since you’re already here, stay for dinner with Grandpa,” Ethan said, his voice low and magnetic. “They like having you here. Don’t ruin their night.”

Mia stayed silent for a few seconds before shaking her head. “No. I have other things to do.”

she turned to walk away. As she brushed past him, her wrist was suddenly caught. The man’s long, powerful ingers clamped around her wrist, stopping her in her tracks.

They were standing extremely close. She looked up at him, her clear eyes reflecting his sharp features. Her faint, weet scent drifted toward him-a scent that had once overwhelmed his senses countless times when they were ogether.

Ethan’s brow furrowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing.

The two of them stood in silence, locked in each other’s gaze.

‘Ethan!”

Chloe’s voice echoed from a distance. “Ethan?”

Mia looked past him. Chloe’s footsteps were approaching from around the corner.

“Mr. Hale, Ms. Bennett is looking for you.”

With that, she wrenched her hand free and hurried toward the exit. Ethan’s hand remained suspended in the air for a second before his fingers slowly curled into a fist.

When Chloe walked over, she caught a glimpse of Mia’s retreating back. That striking burgundy red was unmistakable-it was Mia!
