His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240

“Let Ethan handle it himself.”

In an instant, every eye in the room turned to Ethan.

Ethan’s gaze was deep, his expression unreadable. He sat there with an air of effortless, noble authority. The sternness etched into his features was more pronounced than ever.

Sandra pulled Chloe to her feet. “This is a matter for you young people. Go talk it out.”

She signaled Chloe to say something sweet to Ethan.

Chloe was practically pushed to Ethan’s side. He remained seated, staring straight ahead, refusing to look at her.

She lowered her head, staring at the man’s sharp, dark hair, unable to find the words to start.

“Miranda,” Sandra said, sitting next to her and taking her arm. “Chloe grew up in the Hale house. You watched her grow. The girl is just simple-minded; she doesn’t have a devious bone in her body.”

She tried to redirect the heat. “If you ask me, this whole thing with Mia-”

‘What does this have to do with Mia?” Grandma Hale snapped, her irritation peaking the moment Mia’s name was mentioned. “Whoever she dates, whether she has a child or gets married, what does that have to do with any of you? You’re the one being petty and picking fights out of nowhere. Who else is there to blame?”

Sandra was instantly silenced.

However, those few words had softened Miranda’s heart. She had indeed watched Chloe grow up, and the girl was usually very obedient.

She looked at Chloe standing before Ethan, looking like she was about to burst into tears. It was a pitiful sight.

Ethan, no matter what, you owe Chloe for what she did for you.”

Grandma Hale rolled her eyes so hard she nearly gave herself a headache. She turned her head away and closed her yes, unable to look at them anymore.

Ethan stood up, smoothing out his suit jacket. “Come with me.”

He threw the command at Chloe and turned toward the balcony.

Chloe bit her lip and followed him.

Talk to him nicely,” Sandra whispered urgently as she passed.

The balcony was flooded with sunlight.

Ethan leaned his powerful frame against the railing, standing against the light so that his expression was masked

in shadow.

Chloe stood beside him, her eyes fixed on his profile.

Ethan, I’m sorry. I won’t cause any more trouble for you.”

The person you should be apologizing to isn’t me.”

Ethan turned to look at her. “From start to finish, Mia has done nothing but follow the rules. She never interfered between us. Even if there are issues affecting us, those are my problems, not hers.”

Chloe’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What do you mean?”

‘Apologize to Mia, or go abroad for the checkup. Pick one.”

Ethan’s thin lips moved as he delivered the ultimatum.

His meaning was clear: if she did one of those two things, the wedding would proceed.

Chloe’s heart plummeted, and her face went deathly pale.

She didn’t want to do either!

Was Ethan standing up for Mia? To make her apologize to that woman-on what grounds? It was a fact that Mia and Jaxon Rivers were involved!
