‘Mia, why haven’t you been answering my messages?”

Jaxon Rivers was wearing a pink shirt and white trousers, his hair perfectly styled. A charming, pleading smile played on his face.

Mr. Rivers.” Mia pulled her hand away. “Is there something you need?”

axon gave a sheepish laugh. “I… I just wanted to apologize. I know I was just watching from the sidelines, but I did help you. Like with that thing with Chloe, wasn’t I the one who…”

Thank you.” Mia interrupted him, taking a few steps down to put distance between them. “If you think a thank you isn’t enough to repay your help, then please, stop helping me.”

Aside from a simple “thank you,” she had nothing else to give Jaxon in return.

axon caught the underlying meaning and felt even more embarrassed. “I know watching from the sidelines was a

petty, but come on, if there’s a show, I’m going to watch it… Hey, don’t leave!”

Mia didn’t wait for him to finish. She turned and walked away.

Slow down! Be careful!” Jaxon called out. His heart skipped a beat as he saw her taking the steps quickly.

Mia ignored him and headed straight for the parking lot. Jaxon watched her leave, then smacked his lips and urned back. He truly felt bad for Mia. He decided he would try to make it up to her in other ways later.

Jaxon Rivers, how are you bothering Mia again?!”

ila had witnessed the interaction and rushed out to confront him.

axon jumped. “Where did you spring from?”

I’m warning you, if you bully Mia again, you’re dealing with me!” Lila couldn’t interfere in their business, but she couldn’t help standing up for her friend. “Our grandparents love her! If you mess with her, you’re an enemy of the Hale family!”

axon’s lip twitched. “Wait, you’ve been investigating me lately just because you think I’m bullying Mia?”

ila froze. Her investigation had been exposed?

Let me tell you something.” Jaxon stepped up the stairs toward her, forcing Lila back into the hotel lobby. “The one truly bullying Mia-is your brother!”

Lila’s back hit the wall, leaving her with nowhere to go as Jaxon kept closing in. She gave him a hard shove and urned to run. “Scumbag!”

[axon: “…”

Back in the lounge, Grandma Hale sighed when she realized Mia had already left.

Grandpa Hale tried to comfort her. “Don’t make it hard on the girl. Even if we can move past it, she and Ethan have a history. She has a hurdle in her heart.”

“Why isn’t that hurdle in your grandson’s heart?” Grandma Hale huffed. “And she doesn’t have a hurdle; she’s just being sensible. She doesn’t want to ruin the atmosphere for the Hale family.”

“Whatever the reason, let’s respect her. We’ll invite her for a casual meal later, but don’t ask her to come to these big events anymore,” Grandpa Hale suggested.

Grandma Hale didn’t mention Mia’s pregnancy to him. As the two elders sat there with dampened spirits, the door was pushed open.

Ethan entered first. “Grandpa, Grandma.”

Chloe followed closely behind. She pushed down her frustration and forced a bright smile. “Grandpa, Grandma, sorry we’re late.”

She placed a gift box in front of Grandpa Hale. “Grandpa, I wish you a life as vast as the Eastern Sea and as ong-lived as the Southern Mountains!”

Hearing the exact same greeting Mia had given, Grandpa Hale instinctively said, “Mia, you’re so thoughtful. You didn’t need to bring a gift; just your presence is enough.”

At the name “Mia,” Chloe’s movements froze instantly.
