The mother and daughter left the lounge and headed straight for the ballroom.

Inside, the atmosphere was at its peak. Mr. Hale Sr. and Grandma Hale had come downstairs to make an appearance, cutting the cake and receiving well-wishes from the guests.

After Arthur Hale gave a short speech, he handed the floor over to Miranda Hale.

Dressed in a vibrant red gown, Miranda’s face was glowing with a triumphant smile.

‘Our family has a double cause for celebration today. Taking advantage of the Old Master’s birthday banquet, I’d like to announce another joyous event. The wedding for Ethan and Chloe has been set for August 26th. We hope to see you all there!”

The room erupted. Congratulations poured in from every corner of the hall.

The people surrounding Ethan began clinking their glasses against his.

‘Congratulations, Mr. Hale!”

‘Best wishes to you!”

Ethan held a crystal goblet, his noble features masked behind a shallow, practiced smile.

However, that smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Thank you,” he said simply.

Watching this from the entrance of the ballroom, Chloe grabbed Sandra Bennett’s arm.

Mom, don’t ask anymore!”

Sandra couldn’t swallow her anger. “What do you mean, don’t ask? Those two old fogies are completely out of it. They treat Mia Carter like a treasure and don’t care about you at all. And the matter of that child-we have to get o the bottom of it before this wedding happens!”

She tried to pull Chloe into the hall.

Chloe dug in her heels, dragging her mother back with all her strength. “Mom! Nothing is more important than me marrying Ethan. There are so many people here. If we make the Hale family look bad now, the wedding is over!”

Hearing this, Sandra finally calmed down.

She looked at Miranda on the stage, basking in the flattery of the crowd. “Fine. Your aunt cares about her reputation more than anything. I’ll wait until the banquet is over to ask.”

Chloe nodded, her hands trembling as she smoothed her hair. “Quick, check me. Is my makeup ruined?”

‘No. My daughter is the most beautiful woman here.” Sandra tucked a stray lock of hair behind Chloe’s ear.

Chloe straightened her back and stepped into the hall. She walked over to Ethan and slipped her arm through his, standing by his side to accept the congratulations of the high society of Northbrook.

Mia Carter was watching the livestream. The camera was currently focused on Ethan and Chloe.

Their wedding date was set for twenty days before her due date.

She set her phone down and gently rested her hand over her slightly rounded belly.

The baby had kicked for the first time a few days ago. Now, she felt the presence of this child more profoundly

han ever.

An indescribable warmth spread through her heart, mixed with a bitter, complex ache.

The sharp ring of her phone shattered the silence of the room.

Mia snapped out of her thoughts and answered.

Mia, it’s time to pay Carly’s medical bills again!”

Aunt May’s tone was harsh. Their last meeting had ended on a bad note.

Mia hadn’t been replying to her messages or answering her calls, so Aunt May had used someone else’s phone to lial her.

The money is gone already?” Mia asked, surprised.
