His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

Leo Martinez had been with Ethan Hale for a long time, but they had never discussed anything outside of work.

Especially not matters of the heart.

Mia Carter and Ethan had accidentally slept together that night, and just a day later, Ethan had ordered Leo to prepare a prenuptial agreement.

Even though neither of them said it aloud, Leo knew the marriage was about taking responsibility.

Ethan married Mia to be responsible.

Mia married Ethan to… be the one he was responsible for?

“Mr. Hale, have you been drinking?”

Leo caught the faint scent of alcohol on Ethan.

Ethan arched an eyebrow, his gaze turning cold and dissatisfied as it landed on Leo. It was clear he was annoyed by the deflective question.

‘I’m not actually that close with Ms. Carter,” Leo said, his voice faltering under that piercing stare.

He forced himself to participate in his boss’s private life for the first time.

‘But you’re the one who proposed. She could hardly refuse, could she? After all, you’re her boss.”

That was how Leo saw it. In his mind, Mia’s marriage to Ethan was practically forced. It had the vibe of a woman sleeping with her boss, fearing he would sabotage her career if she said no, and being pressured into the marriage.

Luckily, Ethan wasn’t some fat, old, balding man. Otherwise-

‘So, you’re saying she didn’t want to marry me?” Ethan’s voice turned dangerously cold.

Leo shivered. What did he say? Which part of that was wrong?

‘Of course… not! You’re handsome and incredibly capable. Any woman would be lucky to marry you. Mia definitely wanted to!”

Did she really want to marry him back then?

Ethan searched his memory. He remembered asking her if she wanted to get married.

Mia had hesitated for a long time before finally saying yes.

What was she hesitating about?

Was she weighing the consequences of saying no?

‘Mr. Hale, you and Mia have been divorced for so long. Why are you thinking about this now?”

Leo tried to steer the conversation away from the whirlpool of his own mistakes. But after he spoke, he couldn’t

help but mutter under his breath, “Mia never mentioned any of this to me anyway…”

Thinking about it, Mia was the most disciplined subordinate, woman, and ex-wife Leo had ever met. She occupied all three roles but had never once stepped out of line.

The office was too quiet. Even his whisper reached Ethan’s ears.

You seem to have a lot of insight. Then tell me this-why did she want the divorce?”

Leo: “…”

The sense of crisis was overwhelming. Who would dare critique their boss’s love life to his face?

‘Mr. Hale, how about I give Mia a call and ask her?”

Ethan’s predatory eyes darkened. A single word escaped his thin lips: “Leave.”

Leo didn’t even stop for pleasantries; he spun around and bolted.
