Chapter 287

Mia Carter’s breath hitched, and the hand holding her chopsticks trembled.

The chopsticks clattered onto the table, hitting the dishes with a sharp sound that echoed in her ears. Her heart kipped a beat, racing with sudden panic.

What… what did you say?”

Oh, actually, Grandma and I have known you were pregnant for a long time.”

ila Hale lightly tapped her own mouth. She had let it slip again!

I also know the child belongs to Jaxon Rivers. Grandma wants to take you in as an honorary granddaughter just to ive you a proper backing, so you’ll have enough status to enter the Rivers family…”

Mia’s head spun.

The moment she found out she was pregnant, she knew that as an ordinary person, she had no way to stand gainst the powerful Hale family.

That was why leaving Northbrook was the best way to give birth to the child in peace.

taying behind hadn’t been part of the plan, and she knew it was only a matter of time before she was found out.

ut she never expected that Grandma Hale and Lila had known for so long.

ven more shocking was that they actually thought the child belonged to Jaxon Rivers.

ler mind raced, trying to figure out where the mistake had happened.

eeing Mia’s face turn pale, Lila quickly added, “Don’t be afraid. Only Grandma and I know. Grandpa doesn’t ven know. Grandma was afraid that if too many people knew, the news would leak and cause trouble for you.”

Your brother doesn’t know either?” Mia’s words were strained. Her heart was stuck in her throat.

ila nodded. “Of course not. He and Jaxon are bitter rivals. If he found out, wouldn’t you be in deep trouble?”

learing Lila’s words, Mia almost burst into tears.

I was a wave of emotion, moved by the fact that Grandma Hale and Lila were looking out for her.

But why are you applying for a transfer to a branch office again?”

ila didn’t understand. “Does Jaxon know?”

Mia took a moment to steady her emotions. “He… knows. I have my own plans. Thank you for everything you and Grandma have done for me. Please tell Grandma I’m sorry.”

We all understand you. Don’t make it so heavy. If you need any help, you must tell us.”

ila was doing everything she could to support her.

Throughout the meal, Mia felt a lingering unease.

ila noticed her distraction and assumed she was just uncomfortable because the secret of her pregnancy had been xposed.

Grandma, Mia asked me to thank you, but she also asked me to tell you she’s sorry. Why would she say that?”

Back at the Hale Manor, Lila leaned against Mrs. Hale Sr., snacking on fruit while recounting the meeting.

Grandma Hale’s eyes filled with a trace of heartache. “Probably because she won’t accept our help and feels guilty bout it. That poor girl…”

Are we really not going to do anything then?” Lila put down the piece of fruit she was about to eat. “I’m so worried she’ll get screwed over by a scumbag like Jaxon Rivers.”

Forget it. Let nature take its course.”

Grandma Hale felt powerless. Mia, much like Ethan, was a very headstrong person.

ila smacked her lips and rested her head on Grandma Hale’s shoulder.

Grandma, when it comes to my marriage in the future, you have to keep this same mindset. Help ny mom, okay?”

You really aren’t afraid of making this house a battlefield.”

Grandma Hale poked her head. “I’ve been annoyed with your mother for a long time. Aside from picking your ather, her taste in everything else-especially daughters-in-law-is terrible. I’ll use your situation to have a real howdown with her.”

ila hugged her grandmother, acting spoiled.

I’m not afraid of a showdown. The two of us can definitely take her on!”
