His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268

With that, he hung up and dialed Cole again.

Cole answered almost instantly. Before he could say hello, Ethan’s interrogation hit him like a ton of bricks.

“You’d better give me an explanation.”

They had been brothers for years. Ethan didn’t even have to specify the issue for Cole to know exactly what he was referring to.

“I just wanted to know if you actually love Chloe Bennett,” Cole said.

Ethan was so angry he actually laughed. “And do you know the answer now?”

‘I do,” Cole replied.

You just wait. One day when you’re in my hands, I’ll make you regret this.”

Ethan hung up.

Even those harsh words weren’t enough to calm the churning emotions in his heart.

The phone screen went dark, plunging the lounge into total shadows. The neon lights from outside filtered hrough the half-drawn curtains, barely illuminating the room’s silhouette.

Ethan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Before dawn, he got up and straightened himself out, sitting at his desk and waiting for Mia to arrive.

Around 8:00 AM, Ethan’s phone rang.

It was Mrs. Hale Sr.

The matter I mentioned last time-have you considered it?”

Grandma Hale was referring to setting Mia up with Jaxon Rivers.

Don’t worry about her business,” Ethan said.

Then he added, “It’s not my place to worry about it either.”

You agreed so readily back then. Why the sudden change of heart?” Grandma Hale was displeased. “Fine. I’ll go to

your father to handle this.”

Before Ethan could say another word, she hung up.

Why was she so convinced that something was going on between Mia and Jaxon?

Ethan pulled out Mia’s transfer plan. He saw that several branch offices as far from Northbrook as possible were at the top of her list.

He thought it was time for a serious talk with Mia.

From her hiding the pregnancy to the real reason for her resignation.

And now, her choosing the furthest possible branches.

Furthermore, what was her motive for posting a picture of Nina’s baby on New Year’s Eve’

One incomprehensible point after another blocked Ethan’s mood all morning.

Near 11:00 AM, Leo Martinez knocked on the office door and entered.

“Mr. Hale, Ms. Bennett is here. She said she brought you lunch.”

Ethan didn’t even look up. “Tell her I’m busy.”

Leo nodded. “Yes, sir.”

He turned to leave.

Ethan called out to him, “Hasn’t Mia arrived?”

‘She did. She… she asked me to leave the documents at the front desk. I assume she’s already picked them up and left by now.”

During the call last night, Ethan had said that Leo was the one who found the information.

Naturally, Mia had called Leo directly.

‘She already took them?” Ethan stood up abruptly. “Go find her and bring her back!”

Leo jumped, a bad feeling rising in his chest. “… Yes, sir.”
