Chapter 234
Leo made a frustrated sound, his head throbbing.
Mia added, “And it’s not entirely about that.”
“Then…” Leo hesitated for a few seconds before lowering his voice to a whisper. “Is it because you and Mr. Hale stayed at that hotel before New Year… and slept together again?”
It was already 11:00 PM. Most of the lights in the residential buildings had gone dark, and Mia’s two-bedroom apartment was silent. She had already climbed into bed, intending to chat with Leo for a few minutes before sleeping.
Unexpectedly, Leo’s single sentence shattered the peace like a bomb.
A roar erupted in her head, and her eardrums throbbed with a piercing pain. “W-what did you say?”
I was the one who cleaned up the tracks for you that time. Otherwise, how could Mr. Hale possibly know nothing
about it?”
When Leo saw Mia flee the hotel before Ethan woke up, he knew she wanted to act as if it had never happened. So, the next morning when Ethan asked if anyone had entered his room, Leo had flatly denied it.
He had even told Ethan, “The hotel’s network was hacked last night. They were broadcasting pornographic videos, and a lot of guests were woken up. Did it disturb your rest?”
Pornographic videos?
Ethan had been certain that the blood-pumping images from the night before were real. His hands had been ripping a woman’s slender waist-
Leo!” Mia bolted upright in bed, her hand clutching her forehead. Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her throat.
f her pregnancy were exposed, Leo would be the first person to realize the child belonged to Ethan!
Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret for you! That time was an accident, I haven’t told a soul!”
eo knew Mia didn’t want to make a scene. After all, Ethan and Chloe were on the verge of getting married.
Mia rubbed a red mark into the space between her brows, but she couldn’t calm down. As the saying goes, secrets will always out.
I hope you can treat that incident as if it never happened for the rest of your life,” Mia said helplessly.
The call ended after that. Within those few dozen seconds, she had broken out in a cold sweat.
She lay back down, her long hair clinging to her forehead and cheeks. In the dark of the night, her dark eyes flickered with a faint, anxious light.
Mia barely slept.
The next day, when she arrived at the office with dark circles under her eyes, she gave Leo a start.
“Why do you look so terrible?”

Mia forced a smile. “It’s nothing.”

She sat down, avoiding Leo’s gaze. She used her desk to hide her belly and remained seated, refusing to move.
‘You really don’t need to worry about what I said last night,” Leo said, walking over to her. “I promise you, I won’t tell anyone.”
His promise brought her no peace. If they had just slept together that one night, what would she have to fear? But there was still the baby in her womb.
‘We’ve worked together for so many years. Don’t you trust my character?” Leo was taken aback by Mia’s cold
attitude.
Mia’s lips were sealed; she couldn’t explain. she looked at Leo apologetically. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just… things are more complicated than you think.”
It was indeed complicated, especially since Chloe was involved. Leo tried to put himself in Mia’s shoes and realized he wouldn’t be able to stay calm either.
