His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296

Ethan knit his brows. “Go on then.”

With that, he turned and sat back at his desk.

Mia stood straight, her eyes lowered as she turned and left without giving him another glance.

The man at the desk kept his thin eyelids lowered. They trembled slightly, but he didn’t look up.

Ten minutes later, Mia emerged from the building and returned to Nina Torres’s car.

Did it go smoothly?”

Nina tucked her phone away and leaned toward her, looking at her expectantly.

Mia nodded. “Smoothly.”

Where to!?” Nina’s excitement was palpable.

Everett,” Mia replied.

Nina’s smile vanished instantly. “Is there even a branch there?”

It’s a newly established branch. It’s the Southern Headquarters, managing all the branches south of the Yangtze

River.”

Mia kept it brief.

What!?” Nina gasped. “So… you’re going to be on equal footing with Ethan Hale now?”

Mia fastened her seatbelt. “We’ll take it one step at a time. Let’s just get there first.”

Nina sat up straight and started the engine, slamming her foot on the gas.

True. Leaving Northbrook has been dragged out for so long, and it’s finally happening. Let’s go pack. When do we

eave?”

Leo booked the tickets for two days from now. I had him book one for you too. I’ll transfer the money to him ater. We’re going together.”

Two days was a tight schedule. They were moving a thousand miles away and had to settle everything in

Northbrook.

The two of them visited Carly’s school. The girl had already returned to her normal school life.

Nina had spent ages trying to figure out where Aunt May had spent the money, but she came up empty. She had >ribed a volunteer who frequently visited the orphanage to keep an eye on Aunt May’s every move.

Nina finished packing her luggage and mailed it to Everett in advance.

It’s a shame the postpartum doula can’t leave Northbrook. We’ll have to find a new one in Everett. But if we do hat, I won’t be able to start working right away.”

Mia, who was packing her own things, heard her sighing and comforted her. “It’s fine. My salary is very high now. I

can support you.”

Her salary had quintupled, reaching a six-figure monthly amount. This was one of the main reasons she had been willing to accept the job despite everything.

Both she and Nina needed the money.

“Then my son and I will rely on you, you big-bellied pregnant woman. Once we’re in Everett, you handle the breadwinning, and I’ll handle the house. I’ll find a nanny and a postpartum doula in advance…”

Nina hugged Toby and gave him a big kiss.

Toby, we’re finally leaving. Your godmother is going to support us for a while. Later, when she gives you a little wife, you’d better not bully her…”

Mia was packing a few professional suits into her suitcase when a white slip of paper suddenly fell out.

The edges were badly worn, but it was clear it had been well-preserved-clean and neat.

She knelt to pick it up and opened it.

‘Breakfast is on the table.”

There was no signature, but Mia recognized it instantly. It was Ethan’s handwriting.

In the two years they were married, that was the only time Ethan had ever woken up early and left a note for her.

She had read it over and over again, treasuring it carefully and taking it out to look at from time to time.

Mia’s heart gave a sharp, painful tug.

Nina was busy cooing over the baby and didn’t notice anything unusual.

With your new status, even with a child, there will definitely be plenty of men chasing you. If you meet someone uitable, just get married. You’re like a flower in a greenhouse; you need to be pampered. Not like me-I’m a wild horse, I’m meant for freedom…”

Amidst Nina’s chattering, Mia held her breath, crumpled the paper into a tight ball, and tossed it into the trash

:an.

It should have been thrown away long ago. Throwing it now… wasn’t too late.

Two days later, on the plane to Everett.

Mia turned off her phone.

‘Goodbye, Northbrook.”

‘Goodbye, Ethan.*
