His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326

Richard hurried to hold up his glass, meeting the mouth of the bottle. “Oh, Mr. Hale, this really isn’t necessary. If you need something, a phone call would have been enough.”

He stood beside Ethan’s seat, his body hunched over.

I want Ian Reed,” Ethan said coldly.

Richard’s expression shifted instantly.

After turning pale for a moment, he asked tentatively, “Is this… because of Ms. Carter?”

Ethan arched an eyebrow. The meaning was clear.

While Ian Reed’s abilities were decent, he wasn’t exactly at a level where Ethan would personally lower himself to

isk for a transfer.

Mr. Hale, I think some things are best left to nature. Perhaps we shouldn’t interfere in their affairs?” Richard said.

Cold sweat was pouring down his back. Yet he forced himself to offer a polite refusal.

Ethan caught his underlying meaning. “Vanguard previously established a project in Everett. I assumed you would

end Ian there.”

I asked Ian about it. He doesn’t want to go.”

Richard paused, then explained, “Ian’s mother is seriously ill and is currently receiving treatment here in

Northbrook. He can’t leave.”

So that’s why.”

Ethan understood. He frowned, his thoughts a bit disorganized.

Richard stood by, watching Ethan’s expression and trying to guess his thoughts, his heart hammering in his chest.

Then forget it,” Ethan finally said.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

But the moment he sat, Ethan stood up.

I just remembered I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me.”

Richard scrambled to his feet to see him off. After the car disappeared, he returned to the room.

The food on the table hadn’t been touched, but he had no appetite. He pulled out his phone and called lan Reed.

‘lan, tell me the truth. You really broke up with Mia Carter, didn’t you?”

On the other end, Ian’s tone was firm. “Mr. Vance, I never lie. Otherwise, Mia wouldn’t have gone to Everett.”

‘Do

you

know that Ethan Hale just came to see me? And it was because of you.”

Richard figured that perhaps Ethan didn’t know they had broken up. Or maybe Ethan *did* know and wanted lan in Everett just to make life difficult for him as revenge for Mia?

But then why would Ethan ask about lan transferring to Everett?

lan was startled. “Then you…”

‘I didn’t agree. Fortunately, he didn’t push it. You didn’t have a messy breakup with Mia, did you? Whatever you do, don’t offend her. If Ethan decides to settle scores for her, neither of us will survive!” Richard warned him repeatedly.

‘Don’t worry, Mr. Vance.” Ian gave his word several times before ending the call.

Immediately after, he dialed Mia’s number.

At that moment, Mia was on her way home.

In the quiet car, she was resting her eyes. Scenes from the earlier video call kept flashing through her mind, making her restless. Then, her phone rang.

She didn’t have Ian’s number saved, but the digits looked familiar, so she answered.
