There’s nothing wrong with the report. It was just an excuse to come over.”

Cole Preston took a deep breath. “I was afraid you were still mad at me and wouldn’t drink with me.”

Ethan Hale grabbed a tissue box and hurled it at him.

‘You’re looking for a death wish.”

Cole caught the box with practiced ease and set it back on the table with a faint smile. “I’m leaving.”

What’s the deal?”

As soon as Mia Carter hung up, Nina Torres started pestering her. “Why is he calling you in the middle of the

night?”

Mia set her phone down. “Reporting work.”

What? Is Bayview a weather station now?”

Nina pushed a plate toward her and sat down.

Spill it. What’s really going on?”

What’s really going on?*

Mia thought back to the contents of the call.

The topics hadn’t strayed beyond their professional relationship as boss and subordinate, but it had felt… subtle.

It really was just a work report. There was just one extra line of small talk.”

Nina looked skeptical.

f she didn’t know for a fact that Mia wouldn’t lie to her, she would have suspected they had secretly gotten back

ogether.

An ex-husband calling his ex-wife in the middle of the night, asking if she’s adjusting well to a city a thousand niles away and how the weather is…

Tsk, tsk. The man is like a ghost. He can’t see you, so he has to call.”

Mia ate in small bites, falling silent.

n the beginning, work reports would be frequent and contact would be close.

Once everything was on the right track, the contact would decrease.

In a while, Ethan would be busy with his wedding and would likely hand these tasks off to Leo Martinez instead of handling them personally.

In short, Mia felt that their futures were like two parallel lines-destined never to cross again.

‘Hey, do you think Ethan regrets it?” Nina wondered aloud. “He thinks you’re carrying another man’s child, and

he’s uncomfortable, so he-”

‘I actually ran into something strange today,” Mia said, cutting off Nina’s ridiculous imagination.

‘What?”

The banquet tonight was hosted by the Gallagher family. Mrs. Gallagher… she looked at me like she’d seen a ghost. She could barely walk. Even though we didn’t speak again after the introduction, she kept staring at me. It made me really uncomfortable.”

If she hadn’t been required to stay until the end, Mia would have left early.

The way Mrs. Gallagher had scrutinized her had reached a level that was genuinely unsettling.

‘Is she gay?”

The moment those words popped out of Nina’s mouth, she thought of Cole.

Mia looked at her. “Is the local climate not agreeing with you? Has it gone to your head?”

…” Nina cleared her throat guiltily. “Well, you tell me then! Why else would a middle-aged woman keep staring at

Tou?”

f Mia could guess, she would have told Nina already.

She didn’t just lack a guess; she didn’t have a single clue.

Never mind, let’s not talk about it. Tomorrow I’m going to a domestic service agency to find a full-time nanny ind a postpartum doula. The company recommended a few for me to check out.”

Vina stretched. “Hurry up and finish eating so you can get to sleep.”

No need to rush,” Mia said. “Toby isn’t used to the new place yet. You should spend more time with him. Don’t vorry about starting your livestreams again right away.”

That won’t do. Once you have the baby, the expenses will pile up. I need to prepare in advance and be your strong upport. I have to make sure you and the baby never have to suffer.”

Vina leaned down and gently touched Mia’s belly. “In these last three months, the baby gains weight fast. Eat more and let the little guy grow strong.”

Mia wanted to eat more, but her appetite was small; if she overate, she felt miserable.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before heading to their respective rooms to rest.

The next day, Mia arrived at the office on time.
