His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260

After folding just a few outfits, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her back, and the fatigue returned.

She was just about to sit back down for another break when the doorbell rang.

‘Ding-dong. Ding-dong.”

Mia stood up and walked to the door. She checked the peephole first.

Seeing no one, she cautiously cracked the door open an inch.

Ta-da!”

Nina poked her head in, holding two containers of ice cream. “Want some?”

What are you doing here?”

Mia opened the door fully and took the ice cream. “I thought you said I wasn’t allowed to eat this stuff?”

You can’t have it often, but once in a while is fine.”

Nina walked in and grabbed the suitcase. “You’re a pregnant woman. I couldn’t let you pack and move all this by ‘ourself. Come on, I’m taking you home.”

She signaled for Mia to change her shoes.

Mia slipped into her shoes, grabbed her ice cream, and followed Nina downstairs. She took small, careful bites, the old sweetness melting beautifully against her tongue.

She squinted her eyes, a look of pure satisfaction on her face.

I just took a nap with Toby, so I’m full of energy. Want to go find a place for lunch?” Nina asked as she stowed the uitcase in the trunk.

Mia opened her ice cream and held it out to feed Nina a bite. “No, Toby will make a scene if he realizes you’re one for too long.”

The postpartum doula has him in the car.” Nina glanced toward the back seat.

Through the tinted glass, Mia couldn’t see much, but she could just make out the shadows of people moving

nside.

Finish that before we get in,” Nina said, taking a large bite of the ice cream Mia was holding. “Otherwise, I’ll just end up making my son jealous.”

Nina finished the rest of the treat in a few big gulps. Mia finished hers quickly as well. “Where are we going?”

A new restaurant just opened in a mall near my place. Great atmosphere. Let’s go check it out.”

Nina glanced at her. “Once we leave, we won’t be able to get this local flavor anymore.”

At the mention of leaving, a flicker of anxiety touched Mia’s heart. Ethan still hadn’t given her a reply. It had been nearly a week.

Just as the thought crossed her mind, her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Ethan.

Mia handed her empty container to Nina and pressed a finger to her lips, signaling for her to be quiet.

Mr. Hale.”

As she answered, she instinctively stood up straighter.

There was a long silence on the other end.

Mia waited a few seconds, checked the screen to make sure the call hadn’t dropped, and spoke again.

Mr. Hale?”

Where are you?”

Mia went silent for a moment before answering, “I’m outside.”

Being at the foot of her apartment building technically counted as being outside.

t was almost noon. She wondered if he wanted her to come into the office this afternoon.

As she waited for him to continue, Ethan simply said, “Got it.”

Then, he hung up.

The dial tone hummed in her ear, leaving Mia completely baffled.

What happened?” Nina asked, seeing her stunned expression. “Did he exile you to the border?”

Mia shook her head. “He just asked where I was.”
