‘I swear, I’m not here for the drama. I’m genuinely worried about you.”

Jaxon Rivers raised three fingers to the sky, looking more serious than ever.

The baby in your belly is a life. You’re connected by blood; he’s your own flesh and blood. Being separated from your child would be a lifelong regret. I shouldn’t have been such a scumbag and treated this like a joke before. I’m here to protect you this time. Just tell me if you need anything.”

He tapped his chest with his other hand.

When that devilishly handsome face turned serious, it actually carried some weight.

Thank you,” Mia Carter replied flatly.

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Jaxon; she just didn’t need his help.

The waiter looked at her with gossipy eyes. “Is he a suitor or your boyfriend?”

Mia locked her phone. “He’s my debt collector.”

‘Who was it?” Stella asked, following Mia as they stood up to leave.

‘Just a friend.”

Stella teased, “How come I don’t have friends like that? Paying for lunch in secret and worrying about your health.”

Bad news travels fast. In just one morning, the whole office knew.

While they talked, they entered the building and waited for the elevator.

Mia, why aren’t you saying anything?” Stella nudged her arm when she didn’t get a response.

Mia didn’t know what to say.

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind them.

They turned to see Ethan Hale striding in, followed by Winston Henderson and several other executives. The man ooked magnificent and imposing.

They stood by another elevator. Ethan’s cold face was reflected in the metallic doors.
