Chapter 202
Any lingering hope Chloe Bennett had was now completely dead.
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number again.
I want you to find out exactly whose child is in Mia’s belly!”
After a moment of static, the man’s voice came through. I’m not a mind reader.”
I’ll arrange everything. When the time comes, you do as I say. Get back to the country first!”
Chloe stood by the window, watching the falling night. The darkness outside was nothing compared to the cold, hadowy void rising in her eyes.
ately, Ian had been messaging Mia every day.
He reminded her of weather changes, said good morning, and said good night.
It was giving Mia a headache. During lunch, she asked Ruby to eat with her.
Ruby couldn’t
stop smiling the moment she saw her. “Mia, are we going to be family soon?”
I actually wanted to talk to you about Ian,” Mia said, motioning for her to sit.
From Ruby’s tone, it sounded as if she thought Mia and Ian were practically a done deal.
What is it?”
Ruby noticed her attitude wasn’t what she expected and sat down across from her. “Did Ian make you angry?”
Ruby, we aren’t a good match,” Mia said bluntly. “I don’t have any plans to date or get married right now.”
She was completely serious.
Luby felt a pang of disappointment. When she had first introduced Mia to lan, she had pushed a bit too hard, and Mia had only gone along with it because she felt she had to.

‘I don’t believe you,” Ruby said, catching her in a contradiction. “You’ve made so many excuses to resign. Aren’t you just hiding the truth? Aren’t you lying then?”
Mia choked on her words.
Just as Ruby said that, Ethan suddenly appeared in the cafeteria.
Mia was sitting near the entrance, only a step away from him.
Ruby, with her back to the door, continued, “With such a high salary and having climbed to the position you have today-you have a secure job. Yet you still want to leave. What kind of secret struggle are you dealing with?”
No matter how anyone analyzed it, Mia’s desire to resign didn’t seem voluntary.
There had to be some unavoidable hardship forcing her to make that choice.
