His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282

Ethan’s voice was cold and low, laced with suspicion and scrutiny.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars-all her savings from the past few years-and she considered it a small matter?

Was the pregnancy an important matter then?

His displeasure hit her like a physical wave. To an outsider, it might have looked like Aunt May had stolen his*

money.

Mia bit her inner lip slightly. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “My transfer is an important matter. Have you made a decision yet, Mr. Hale?”

‘You seem very eager to leave.”

Ethan narrowed his eyes at her. “In fact, you have an attitude that you *must* leave.”

The car fell into a dead silence.

His words were too direct. Mia couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to.

‘Because there’s no reason to stay,” she said softly but firmly. “Does Mr. Hale really think I haven’t caused enough rouble for you and Ms. Bennett already?”

Lately, Chloe Bennett had been quiet. But the silence usually preceded the storm. Mia was a thorn in Chloe’s side; t was only a matter of time before she tried to pluck her out.

f she didn’t leave, she was just being obtuse.

Mia had plenty of excuses. But she didn’t mention the pregnancy as a reason.

Ethan was still wondering: ‘Is she really pregnant?*

This woman hid things too well. For her to hide something that shouldn’t even need to be a secret meant she was up to something.

Mia, are you hiding something from me?”

He was testing her indirectly. “I don’t tolerate lies. You’d better come clean.”

Mia’s throat tightened, feeling as though it were stuffed with cotton. She stared at him, her clear eyes reflecting a licker of panic under the weight of his gaze.

‘I…”

‘Does he know something?*

Mia had prepared herself for this moment to come, but now that it was here, she couldn’t help but panic. The custody agreement-if Ethan provided a better environment for the child, she would never win.

The memory of him knocking on her door late at night flashed vividly in her mind.

‘Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, someone actually knocked on the car window.

Both of them looked toward the glass simultaneously.

Leo looked anxious as he pointed to the phone in his hand. Ethan rolled the window down just a crack.

Mr. Hale, Mrs. Bennett has been hospitalized with a sudden illness. Ms. Hale and Ms. Bennett have been trying to call you, but they couldn’t get through.”

Leo was still on the line with Miranda Hale.

Miranda’s voice came through the speaker. “Tell him to get to the hospital immediately!”

Call Cole Preston. Have him go check on her first, Ethan ordered Leo.

After Leo finished relaying the message to Miranda, he immediately moved to call Cole.

On the other side, Mia reacted quickly, opening the door to get out.

She stood outside the car, nodding to Ethan. “Mr. Hale, you’re busy. I won’t disturb you any longer.”
