Ethan’s expression remained heavy with anger.
Mia averted her gaze. “I understand. I’m sorry-”
‘Don’t apologize to me. The baby is yours.”
As soon as Ethan said it, a sharp pang hit his chest, leaving him incredibly uncomfortable. He turned away and started walking.
He heard footsteps behind him. Mia was following.
She took quick, small steps, barely managing to keep up. “Mr. Hale…”
You were driving a company car. If something happens, the company is liable. That’s the only reason I’m eminding you,” Ethan interrupted.
Mia paused before saying, “I know. I-”
Your safety has nothing to do with me. You don’t need to apologize. Just be responsible to yourself.”
Seeing how much she was struggling to keep pace, Ethan subconsciously slowed his steps.
Mia spoke up, her voice slightly strained. “I left in a rush and didn’t bring my phone. Could you… could you help ne call a taxi to the hospital?”

As soon as she sat down, a dark shadow followed.
Ethan climbed in after her, filling half the seat. “Slide over.”

The roads are a bit rough around here,” the driver noted. “Sir, please hold onto your wife. She’s pregnant; don’t let her get bumped around.”
The driver could see Mia was pregnant, and seeing the distance she tried to keep between them, he felt the need to offer a reminder.

He treated Mia’s denial as a joke and Ethan’s attitude as a sign of a man who didn’t know how to coax his wife.
His lecture turned the interior of the car deathly silent.
Neither of them spoke another word, and the driver finally went quiet.
