Chapter 213
“Why is it you?”
Miranda Hale had assumed that Ethan was with Chloe Bennett. As she walked closer and saw the person standing next to Ethan was Mia Carter, her face darkened.
‘Ms. Hale,” Mia said politely. “I’m dropping Mr. Hale off at home.”
With that, she gave Ethan a slight nod. “Mr. Hale, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”
‘Mm,” Ethan grunted a single syllable from his throat. Without waiting for Mia’s car to pull away, he turned and
headed inside the villa.
Miranda had intended to snap a few words at Mia, warning her to stay away from Ethan in the future. But seeing them go their separate ways so quickly, she turned and chased after her son instead.
Your wedding date with Chloe is getting closer and closer. It’s time to start making arrangements.”
You and the Bennetts can just handle the details yourselves.”
Ethan entered the house, kicked off his shoes, and headed straight for the stairs.
Miranda stood at the base of the staircase, calling out to stop him. “A lot of things require both families to sit down and talk. When are you free?”
You can handle it on my behalf.” Ethan’s footsteps faltered, and he looked back at her. “I’m busy with work.”
You can’t use work as an excuse for everything!” Miranda snapped, her irritation rising. “This is a >nce-in-a-lifetime event. You need to take it seriously.”
Ethan leaned his hip against the banister. Under the brilliant, complex light of the chandelier, he seemed shrouded n a glowing aura.
It’s the second time.”
Why do you keep bringing her up? That’s in the past!” Miranda’s chest heaved with indignation. “That time… just ict as if it never happened!”
Ethan’s brow arched slightly.
So, the reason Mia was being so cold and distant to him now was because she, too, was acting as if those two years of marriage had never happened.
His thin lips pressed into a straight line.
When will you have time to eat with the Bennetts and discuss the wedding details?” Miranda asked, trying to keep her voice calm and reasonable.
Ethan checked his watch, his lowered lids masking the emotions swirling in his eyes.
‘Let Mia arrange it.”
With that, he turned and went upstairs.
Miranda couldn’t hold back her fury anymore. “Why are you letting a secretary handle your personal business!

With this attitude, how can the Bennett family feel safe entrusting Chloe to you!?”
Despite her outburst, Ethan’s figure vanished around the corner of the second floor.

ately, Mia hadn’t caused any trouble. But this peaceful surface only made Miranda feel more uneasy.
It was nearly 11:00 PM by the time she returned to the Hale Manor.
Grandma and Grandpa Hale hadn’t gone to bed yet; they were in the living room playing a game of Gomoku.
Back so late?” Grandma Hale looked up as she entered, offering a word of concern. “Is work that busy?”
Miranda set her bag down and walked over with a sigh. “I went to see Ethan. His wedding to Chloe is set, but here’s no progress. When I talked to him just now, he told me to handle everything for him.”
Grandma Hale’s attention shifted from the game board to Miranda’s complaint.
