Nina Torres, wearing light beige pajamas and a gray apron, stepped out of the kitchen.

‘Late-night snack is ready! Wash your hands and get ready to eat.”

Mia Carter set her bag down, hung up her coat, and rolled up her sleeves to wash her hands in the kitchen.

‘It smells delicious. Your cooking has really improved.”

Nina’s eyes sparked with pride. “Of course. I have to practice my skills so I can make the best baby food for Toby.”

For the sake of her child, Nina had changed a lot.

She used to believe that a woman’s hands were meant to conquer the world, not be stained by the mundane chores of the kitchen. But with Toby about to start eating solid foods, she was throwing herself into culinary

experiments.

Three minutes later, a steaming bowl of seafood noodles was served.

Since the noodles were hot, Mia chatted with Nina while stirring them.

‘Has Toby had any trouble adjusting these past few days?”

Nina rested her chin in her hand, sitting across from her. “No, he’s like me-very easygoing. It’s just a shame I

haven’t found a suitable nanny for him yet.”

Nina’s intense maternal instinct was slowly being drained by the exhaustion of doing everything herself these past few days.

No rush,” Mia said. “Take your time finding one. There are too many stories online about nannies mistreating <ids; we can’t be careless. However, I did find a postpartum care center for you. Go check it out when you have ime these next few days so we can book it. That place is popular; you usually have to book months in advance.”

Technically, Mia was already late for a booking. Fortunately, someone at the center was a fan of Nina’s and had used the back door to squeeze in a spot for her.

Mia nodded. “Okay. Once I check my schedule at the office, I’ll let you know when we can go.”

‘Sounds like a plan.” Nina looked up at the clock in the foyer. “Eat up and get to sleep. You have work tomorrow. I’m heading upstairs.”

‘Wait,” Mia said quickly. “Sit with me for a bit longer.”

Nina paused, turning back to study Mia.

Something was wrong.

Mia usually wasn’t this talkative. From the moment she walked through the door, she had been jumping from one topic to another. She hadn’t stopped talking since she arrived, and while she was concise, she was being far more responsive than her usual quiet self.

“What’s up?” Nina sat back down, scrutinizing her. “Did something happen?”

Mia had been hungry on the way home, and the noodles smelled amazing, but as she held the bowl, she suddenly

had no appetite at all.

Nothing.” She looked down at the bowl, her lowered lashes hiding her expression.

But her face practically screamed that something was wrong.

Nina’s brain worked at lightning speed, and she suddenly realized, “It’s about Ethan, isn’t it?”

Work is just a bit exhausting, Nina. I’m thinking about resigning once things stabilize here.”

Mia couldn’t deny it: she was still affected by Ethan Hale. In her mind, logic and emotion were currently at a tandstill. She didn’t want to mess with her own head anymore.
