His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313

Ethan Hale’s hand tightened around his chopsticks, but his face remained perfectly calm.

He glanced sideways at Chloe Bennett.

The joy and excitement in her eyes surged almost instantly. She tried to suppress it, pressing her lips together, but her gaze was thick with complicated emotions as she looked back at him.

‘If

you want to go back, I’ll drop you off,” Ethan said, his voice low.

Chloe hesitated. “And… what if I don’t want to go back?”

Lila Hale rolled her eyes and mimicked Chloe’s words silently, mocking her. Miranda Hale pinched her hard under

he table, making Lila hiss in pain. She nearly jumped out of her seat.

Once she recovered, Lila immediately scooted her chair closer to Grandma Hale.

Grandma Hale shot a warning look at Miranda.

If you want to stay, just say it. Why play games?”

With Grandma Hale backing her, Lila became even more fearless.

This was exactly why she could never be friends with Chloe. She was a woman herself, but she couldn’t stand Chloe’s constant indirectness. A mouth was for speaking, not for delivering riddles. If everyone talked like that, hey might as well be mutes using sign language.

in the kitchen, the servants were cleaning up, and the noise muffled Lila’s words.

Neither Chloe nor Miranda, who was sitting right next to her, heard what she said.

Grandma Hale heard it, though. She wanted to laugh but knew it wasn’t appropriate, so she gave Lila a gentle pat

›n the head.

ila stuck her tongue out and looked back at Ethan.

If you don’t want to go back, then stay,” Ethan said, eating unhurriedly. “You can stay in my room.”

Chloe’s heart felt like it was going to leap out of her throat.

The man beside her smelled faintly of sandalwood. His white shirt was pressed tight against his toned chest-a :hest she had dreamed of clinging to more times than she could count.

Tonight, she was staying in his room.

The “watching the show” smile vanished from Lila’s face.

Chloe couldn’t hide her grin anymore. She nodded. “It’s so late. I don’t want to trouble you to drive me back, Ethan. I’ll… I’ll stay.”

‘Stay, stay! I’ll have someone tidy up the room right away,” Miranda said with a satisfied smile.

Having Chloe and Ethan get closer was a good sign. If they could have a double celebration on their wedding day, all the chaos the Hale family had dealt with lately would finally vanish. They could finally hold their heads high again.

‘Let’s eat.”

Grandma Hale placed a rib on Lila’s plate, signaling her to hurry up. Once they were full, they could leave; out of sight, out of mind.

Lila buried her head in her food.

At the table, only Miranda kept talking to Chloe, discussing the wedding details.

Ethan, what do you think?” Miranda eventually asked.

Ethan set his chopsticks down and gave the elders a slight nod. “You decide. I have no objections.”

He stood up. “Grandpa, Grandma, I’m full. Enjoy your meal.”
