His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385

Mia Carter was simply being realistic.

Chloe Bennett’s constant drama with Ethan Hale always seemed to drag her into the crossfire. Mia sincerely hoped Chloe would learn some restraint.

The elevator doors opened, and Mia stepped inside.

Once Chloe officially became the young mistress of the Hale family, Mia would no longer be a thorn in her side. If heir conflicts diminished, Mia would finally be “liberated.”

In fact, the best-case scenario would be for Chloe to hurry up and have a few children with Ethan. Mia would even be happy for them.

The elevator descended, and after a few seconds of weightlessness, things returned to normal.

During lunch, Nina Torres sent her a message, asking about the things Chloe had said at the elevator.

Can’t you just snap back at her for once?” Nina sent a fist emoji, wishing she could give Chloe a piece of her mind on Mia’s behalf.

Mia took a breath and replied calmly, “If I snap back, she’ll just hate me more and become even more obsessed vith my existence. The next time they fight, I’ll be dragged into it again. I don’t want to be the tool Ethan uses to >iss her off for the rest of my life.”

An ex-wife was a permanent thorn in a current partner’s heart.

Vina clicked her tongue. “How do we break this cycle? If Chloe wasn’t so jealous of you, Ethan wouldn’t be paying his much attention to you.”

Chloe being in Everett isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of it. Maybe they’ll reconcile soon and Ethan will leave.”

That was what Mia was counting on.

Nina let out a cold laugh. “Dream on. But hey, I hope your dream comes true.”

Mia felt like things were heading in the direction she expected.

That afternoon, Ethan had her book a reservation at a famous steakhouse in Everett.

When work ended that evening, Mia drove her car out of the underground garage. She immediately spotted Ethan’s Maybach parked at the intersection.

Chloe climbed into the passenger seat. Through the window, Mia could vaguely see her leaning into Ethan’s arms. Soon, Chloe turned around to fasten her seatbelt.

As the window rolled halfway down, her eyes met Mia’s. Chloe’s slightly arched brows were filled with an incontrollable sense of smugness.

Mia’s

gaze remained indifferent. She hit the accelerator and sped past the Maybach.

Half an hour later, at the steakhouse.

The three of them sat around a square table, each taking one side. Cole Preston sat between them, looking somewhat awkward.

‘Ethan, is the steak here good?” Chloe asked as she looked over the menu, testing the waters. “Which flavor have you tried?”

Ethan replied, “I don’t know. I’ve never been here.”

That meant Ethan hadn’t come here with Mia.

Chloe felt a surge of secret joy.

Even though she had lied to Mia, claiming Ethan was only using her to make Chloe jealous, seeing it play out like his felt different.
