His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

He knew how to cook as well. Though he rarely did it, the few times he had were burned into Mia’s memory.

“Naturally, he can’t be compared to you, Mr. Hale,” she replied with a polite smile. Her words clearly drew a line between the two men in her heart.

A layer of cold displeasure clouded Ethan’s face.

The elevator stopped at the seventeenth floor, and Mia exited first. The thermos she was carrying was an eyesore. As the doors slid shut, Ethan’s brows knit together, a complex storm brewing in the depths of his dark eyes.

Mia messaged Ian, using the excuse of returning the thermos to ask for a meeting.

‘See you at the gala tonight, Ian replied.

He would be attending the gala with Richard Vance.

At 3:00 PM, Mia arrived at the Bennett estate to pick up Chloe. Chloe was wearing a pale green dress and light makeup, radiating the air of a wealthy socialite.

Mia was dressed in a black dress-not a tight-fitting one like before, but a loose-cut style that perfectly masked her belly.

Knowing she was pregnant, Chloe made sure to glance at Mia’s midsection several times. “She’s hiding it well. If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t be able to tell at all.*

Mia stood outside the car door, waiting. Once Chloe had looked her fill, she stepped into the car. Mia closed the door, got into the driver’s seat, and headed straight for the hotel.

Why didn’t Ethan come to pick me up?” Chloe asked the moment the car started.

Mr. Hale has an international meeting to attend,” Mia answered truthfully.

Then why are you the one picking me up?” Chloe was dissatisfied; she hated seeing Mia.

Mr. Martinez is on medical leave.”

Hearing this, Chloe stopped complaining.

An hour later, they arrived at the hotel. The ballroom was on the third floor. Mia parked the car in the underground garage and went up with Chloe.

Even in flats, Mia was half a head taller than Chloe. Her black dress exuded elegance-sophisticated and mature compared to Chloe’s look. Her stunning face didn’t lose any luster even while standing behind Chloe; if anything, it was more of a head-turner.

However, Mia’s brow was slightly furrowed. She still hadn’t figured out how she was going to avoid drinking later.

‘Don’t follow us. I don’t want to see you,” Chloe snapped, noticing that most of the guests’ eyes were on Mia. After her sharp rebuke, she hurried to Ethan’s side, leaving Mia behind.

Mia’s pace faltered. She decided to turn around and head toward the balcony instead.

The night breeze was cool, rustling the leaves of a six-foot-tall plant on the terrace. She sat in a woven chair, observing the scene inside the ballroom.

Since Ethan and Chloe’s wedding was approaching, many people were coming over to congratulate him. He had already drunk quite a bit; his noble features looked softer, and the corners of his eyes were tinged with a faint red.

Perhaps feeling the effects of the alcohol, he began scanning the room. He was likely looking for Mia.

Mia lowered her gaze, staring at her stomach in thought. *I can dodge it this time, but what about the next?*

Suddenly, the balcony door was pushed open.

“Mia? What are you doing out here?”
