His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261

‘Get out. There’s another ice cream shop in that mall. I’ll go buy you one, but only a small one…”

Nina Torres walked over, blocking Mia Carter’s view, and knocked twice on the car window.

Seeing that Mia wouldn’t get out, Nina opened the door and pulled her out.

Mia was caught off guard, her gaze flickering past Nina toward the corner of the apartment complex.

The image of Ethan Hale standing under the trees moments ago was incredibly vivid. It reminded her of the time Ethan had come to pick her up in the winter. The branches had been bare and frosted with snow. Ethan, wearing

black wool coat, had stood there waiting for her to come downstairs.

For a split second, the memories overlapped.

But the figure under the trees was gone.

The shade was lush, and the sunlight cast deep, shifting shadows. It was a bit dim.

Where was Ethan?

Hey, what are you looking at?”

Seeing Mia staring at a spot without moving, Nina waved a hand in front of her face.

Mia snapped out of it and shook her head slightly. “Nothing. What did you say?”

I said I’d take you to the mall for ice cream.” Nina followed her gaze toward the tree.

No need. I’m a bit hungry; let’s just go eat,” Mia said, gesturing for her to get back in the car.

Mia climbed into the car first.

As Nina closed the door and walked around to the driver’s side, she glanced toward the tree again. The tree was old and very thick. She could just barely see the edge of a black suit jacket peeking out from behind it.

Nina’s hand paused on the car door, surprise flashing in her eyes. But she quickly regained her composure and got

Let’s go.

She drove away from the apartment complex, checking the rearview mirror as she turned the corner. She clearly saw a man standing behind the tree.

Ethan’s lean, powerful frame was leaned against the trunk. His black suit jacket was draped over his arm.

He was holding his phone, making a call.

‘Leo, I want a detailed report on everything Mia Carter has done in the past year. Everything. I mean every single

detail.”

‘Ms. Carter?” Leo Martinez was stunned. “Mr. Hale, did something happen?”

Ethan’s gaze was dark and heavy. “Give it to me within thirty minutes.”

Thirty minutes to pull a year’s worth of detailed movements was a nightmare task. Leo didn’t dare ask any more

Phone call after phone call went out. The first thing his investigation turned up was that Mia Carter was pregnant.

No matter how hard Mia tried to hide her pregnancy, she couldn’t hide it once Ethan Hale decided to look.

‘Hiss-

What?

This…”

Leo opened his mouth three times but couldn’t form a single word.

Mia was pregnant?

No wonder she hadn’t touched coffee since her return. Recently, even her clothing style had changed. Several imes when she had accompanied Ethan to business dinners, she had found excuses to avoid drinking.

Who was the father?
