His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Ethan Hale didn’t stop as he pushed the door open.

‘A man shouldn’t be so sentimental. If you dare to lie to me, I’ll have your head.”

His dismissive tone was a testament to their brotherhood and his absolute trust in Cole Preston.

Cole sat back in his chair, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his lips. After a long silence, his eyes turned dark

and inscrutable.

‘Chloe Bennett, just you wait.”

The day before the weekend, Mia Carter received a message from Cole, asking to meet her at a suburban tea estate

the following day.

He asked you out?”

Nina Torres nearly jumped off the bed when she heard the news. “Is he interested in you? I mean, I’ve already had

baby, which is wild enough, but you’re literally still pregnant!”

Mia turned off her phone and gave Nina’s forehead a playful poke. “He’s just giving me my medical records.”

Nina rubbed her forehead and let out a huff, flopping back onto the duvet. “Oh. Are you afraid he’s up to something? Do you want me to go with you?”

I’m not exactly afraid.” Mia shook her head. “I’m just curious why he’d pick a place so far away. He could have just eft the files with a nurse at the hospital for me to pick up.”

ntuition told Mia that Cole had an ulterior motive. But for the life of her, she couldn’t figure out what it could be.

What’s he going to do, eat you?” Nina lounged on the bed like a mermaid, watching Mia. “I’ll go with you. If he ries anything inappropriate, I’ll handle him for you.”

Mia chuckled. She couldn’t imagine Cole trying anything untoward. In fact, it was easier to imagine herself ›inning Cole down than the other way around.

I’ll ask him what this is about first.”

She sent Cole a question mark on WhatsApp.

Cole: [I’m off tomorrow and accidentally took your files home. I’m starting a vacation in a few days and won’t have time to bring them back to the hospital. It would be great if you could come to the tea estate to pick them 1p.]

Then, as if worried she wouldn’t come, he added: [If you aren’t in a rush, you can wait and get them from the hospital in a few weeks.]

Mia thought about it and agreed to meet him at the tea estate. Her transfer could be finalized any day now; it was best to have everything ready as soon as possible.

‘Are you sure you don’t want me to go?” Nina asked for the nth time as Mia prepared to leave the next morning.

“No, stay with Toby. He’s been really clingy lately.”

Toby had entered a stage where he was incredibly attached to his mother. If Nina was out of his sight for even a moment, he would start crying.

This didn’t affect Nina’s work since she only livestreamed after he went to sleep at night, but it severely impacted her rest. She was getting less than six hours of sleep a day and had to be up early every morning to stay with him.

The round trip would take at least two or three hours. Mia wanted Nina to get some extra sleep.

Mia caught a taxi to the tea estate. Since it was the weekend, the roads were packed. A trip that should have taken less than an hour stretched into over ninety minutes.

The meeting was set for 10:00 AM. Mia stepped into the tea house right on time.
