His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214

Miranda took a few seconds to calm down before shaking her head. “Impossible. He’s just a man of few words. He doesn’t know how to express his feelings.”

“If you’re so sure, then handle it for him.”

Seeing that her point wasn’t getting through, Grandma Hale turned to her husband. “Old man, let’s go upstairs to

bed.”

Grandpa Hale carefully put the game pieces away one by one, then stood up and followed her upstairs.

With the Government Partnership Initiative finally on track, Mia had moved her office from the seventeenth floor back up to the executive level.

Just as she was about to start her workday, her phone rang. It was Jaxon Rivers.

‘Mr., Rivers.”

‘Mia, you’re still hiding from me.”

Mia had skipped several meetings with the Riverside team lately. While she did want to avoid Jaxon, it was mostly because she had been genuinely overwhelmed with work.

Is there something you need? I’m at work,” she replied.

axon let out a playful huff. “Just a reminder: Cole Preston knows both Ethan and Chloe. If you use him as your >rimary doctor, you better be careful that your pregnancy doesn’t get exposed.”

He had been busy lately and hadn’t kept a close eye on the hospital’s movements. He had only found out today that Mia’s original OB-GYN had resigned and been replaced by Cole.

Thank you for the reminder, but I’ve already chosen a different doctor,” Mia said politely.

f she hadn’t bumped into Ethan at the hospital that day, she would have already been registered under Cole’s

jame.

axon let out a surprised “Oh?” “Such foresight? I haven’t seen you in a few days-has your belly grown another ize? Have you been caught yet?”

His “helpful” reminder was laced with the tone of someone enjoying the drama.

Sorry to disappoint you, but not yet.”

Mia was also waiting. Waiting to be discovered.

She hadn’t expected Chloe to be so quiet lately, and no one at the company had noticed anything yet.

Tsk, tsk. Once this project phase is over, I’m throwing a victory party. You better be there,” Jaxon said, offering a favor. “I’ll make sure to fight for the biggest possible commission for you in front of Ethan.”

If this project was completed successfully, Mia could earn a six-figure commission-over $100,000.

That would significantly ease her current financial strain. If the results were good enough, then maybe… she could

have a second chance to resign.

Thank you, Mr. Rivers.”

Mia thanked him again and hung up.

The dial tone cut off whatever Jaxon was going to say next. He stared at his phone screen and clicked his tongue.

Man… what a sin. I shouldn’t be bullying someone as kind as Mia. Once this is all over, I’ll definitely make it up to her. If she has to fight Ethan for custody, I’ll pay for her legal fees myself!” he muttered to himself.

At 10:00 AM, Mia was buried in a file.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the light.

She looked up and met Miranda’s dignified, stern face.

Ms. Hale.”

Arrange for Ethan to have dinner with the Bennett family to discuss the wedding details.”
