Chapter 281

Aunt May’s panic was mirrored by Mia Carter’s internal chaos.

Mia looked at Leo Martinez with a complicated expression. Leo remained calm, meeting her gaze for a few seconds before handing over the documents. “Ms. Carter, the files are with you now. Mr. Hale is waiting outside. Please settle things here quickly and come out.”

Ethan is here too?”

Mia’s eyelid twitched, the corner of her eye fluttering with a subtle, nervous energy.

I understand. Thank you,” she said.

Mia placed the documents in front of Aunt May. “I’m giving you five minutes to think it over.”

had to be considered. It was a slow process, and though Mia was anxious, she understood.

‘Fine, go ahead. Call me if anything happens.”

The two stopped at the orphanage gate. Nina kept glancing back as she gave her warnings. It was as if she were afraid that once Mia stepped into Ethan’s car, she wouldn’t be allowed out-that Ethan would whisk her and the baby away together.
