His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246

Ethan sat up straight and looked back into the room. “Grandma.”

What are you doing out here?”

Grandma Hale walked out to the balcony, her gaze sweeping over the empty wine bottle on the small table.

Ethan stood up, giving his chair to her.

You were looking for me.”

Grandma Hale sat down, her feet dangling slightly as the woven chair swayed gently.

What exactly do you plan to do about Mia?”

Ethan sat on a small stool, his long legs spread slightly, his elbows resting on his knees.

You can speak your mind, Grandma.”

Grandma Hale wasn’t there to ask about his professional arrangements for Mia. No matter what Ethan planned, it lefinitely wasn’t what she had in mind.

A day as a couple means a hundred days of gratitude. This whole mess was Chloe’s fault, and Mia is the victim. You have to make it up to her.”

Ethan set his wine glass down and interlaced his fingers, waiting for her to continue.

Grandma Hale chose her words carefully.

Why don’t you just go with the flow and help her marry into the Rivers family?”

The blunt words hit Ethan’s ears like an explosion.

He felt a sharp sting in his ears, his long eyes narrowing into a thin line.

What did you say?”

Even if Mia and Jaxon Rivers aren’t officially together yet, there’s clearly something going on between them.”

Grandma Hale didn’t mention the pregnancy. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Ethan; she just didn’t see the need.

Mia and Jaxon have something going on?”

Ethan’s gaze hardened. “Who told you that?”

‘Don’t worry about that. Just give her a hand. Jaxon’s character might be mediocre, but the Rivers family is well-off. If we give Mia our support, she won’t be bullied once she marries into that family.”

Grandma Hale had two main wishes now. First, to see Ethan married. Second, to see Mia settled with a good family.

Actually, make that three-she also wanted to find a good match for Lila Hale.

“I’ve heard of a brother supporting a sister, and a husband supporting a wife,” Ethan’s voice was low, carrying the bite of a late autumn chill. “But I have never heard of an ex-husband backing his ex-wife.”

Grandma Hale stared at him for three seconds. “When have you ever actually treated her like an ex-wife”

Ethan: “…”

f he truly saw Mia as just an ex-wife, would any of this be happening?

The first rain of early summer arrived, fast and heavy.

Grandma Hale got up from the chair and headed back inside. “Sigh. If you two hadn’t suddenly divorced, we vouldn’t be dealing with all this nonsense today…”

Ethan stood to see her out, but his footsteps paused at her words.

His phone buzzed on the table.

He turned back to the balcony and picked it up.

Mr. Hale, I-”

I’m coming to the office now,” Ethan interrupted before Leo Martinez could finish.

He hung up, went to the walk-in closet to change into a black shirt, and strode out of the manor. He climbed into is car and sped off.

The rain left as quickly as it had arrived.

By the time he reached Bayview Tower, the rain had already stopped.

Ethan and Leo entered the building almost at the same time.

eo hurried his pace to catch up with Ethan, and they rode the elevator up together.

What is it?”

It’s… the doctor from abroad is all set. He’s flying to Northbrook next week,” Leo said weakly.

Ethan’s thumb rubbed slowly against the face of his watch.

de lifted his eyelids and shot Leo a sidelong glance in the reflection of the elevator wall.

That’s it?”
