His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323

“Since I agreed to marry you, I won’t go back on my word.”

Ethan Hale spoke slowly, enunciating every syllable. “But I can’t just think about the wedding. I have to consider the future. I have to give the elders an explanation.”

Chloe Bennett sat across from him, feeling like she was on pins and needles. She understood what he meant, but she pretended not to. “I know I’m not good enough for you-”

‘If you really knew that, you’d cooperate. I’ve made an appointment with a doctor. Go tomorrow.” Ethan pulled out a business card and pushed it toward her.

Chloe’s head snapped up. “I… don’t you trust Cole’s medical skills?”

‘I do, but there is always someone better.” Ethan’s eyes were incredibly deep. He had keenly sensed that Cole Preston’s repeated suggestions for him to take Chloe to see other doctors had a hidden meaning.

His tone brooked no argument. Chloe found herself unable to refuse, just as she had been unable to refuse when he finally agreed to marry her.

She bit her inner lip, waiting a long moment before asking in a small voice, “Ethan, you still haven’t answered one of my questions. Do you… do you regret divorcing Mia?”

I’m being objective. This has nothing to do with Mia,” Ethan said, avoiding the topic.

You’re avoiding it! if it weren’t for her, our relationship wouldn’t be this strained. We weren’t like this before!”

Chloe cried.

Regardless of how much Ethan had loved her in the past, he had at least been willing to coax her and spend time with her. But ever since their engagement moved toward marriage, while their official relationship grew closer, Ethan himself seemed to be drifting further away.

She couldn’t come to the office to keep him company like she used to. They hadn’t eaten together in ages. They lidn’t even share basic phone calls or messages anymore.

The fact that we’ve reached this point is because of you and because of me. It has absolutely nothing to do with Mia, Ethan said with cold logic. “You know better than I do exactly what you’ve done.”

Chloe’s throat tightened.

I have a meeting. I’ll have Leo Martinez drive you back in a bit.” Ethan stood up, straightened his tie and blazer, ind strode out of the office.

The business card lay quietly on the desk in front of Chloe. Ethan hadn’t reminded her again about seeing the doctor tomorrow, but she knew that this time, she had no choice but to go.

But how could she?

She took a deep breath, her mind racing. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “Cole, we need to meet. You have to help me again this time…”

Chloe walked out while talking on the phone, only to unexpectedly lock eyes with Ethan’s dark, heavy gaze. She instinctively hung up.

E-Ethan? I thought you left.”

Ethan was standing by the door, his hand resting on the handle. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were leep and sharp. He pushed the door all the way open and re-entered the office.

I forgot some files. I came back for them.”

Chloe swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on him. “I… I was just calling Cole. I wanted him to recommend a good pecialist.”

Ethan reached into a stack of documents and accurately pulled out the one he wanted. Without looking up at her,

e simply said, “The doctor on that card is excellent.”

He was referring to the specialist on the card she was holding. Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything else, Chloe felt a wave of relief. “I understand.”

she turned and left the office. Before the door fully closed, Ethan looked up. A flash of sharp, calculating insight

lickered in his eyes and vanished.
