His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406

Chloe’s eyes followed Mia. “That woman has the face of a temptress. I heard my husband was the one who brought her in just now.”

Serena’s guard went up immediately after hearing what the servants had said.

Fortunately, Patrick was too busy hosting to pay Mia any mind. Otherwise, with his philandering nature, he’d definitely be following her around.

‘Is the person I asked for ready?”

Chloe lowered her voice. “If you help me get rid of this ‘trouble,’ Ethan and I will head back to Northbrook immediately for the wedding.”

Serena hid a smile behind her hand. “I knew you couldn’t wait. Don’t worry, I’ve handled everything.”

Serena stood up and gave Chloe a knowing look. “Just wait and see. The show is about to start.”

Chloe smiled. “Go on, then.”

Mrs. Gallagher was surrounded by a group of wealthy socialites.

Mia waited nearby for an opportunity to approach.

Ms. Carter.”

A voice came from behind her.

Mia turned to see Mr. Gallagher holding a glass of red wine.

Mr. Gallagher,” she said, nodding politely.

You’re…” Mr. Gallagher followed her gaze, landing right on his wife.

Mia answered honestly, “I was coming to say hello to Mrs. Gallagher.”

Mr. Gallagher gave a thin, strained smile, his brow furrowing slightly.

My wife is quite fond of you. She’s probably reached out lately and bothered you, but I hope you’ll maintain a

certain distance from her.”

Mia froze. She remembered their last dinner, where Mrs. Gallagher had received a call and left in a hurry.

‘Don’t misunderstand, I only mean-”

Realizing his words might have sounded harsh, Mr. Gallagher tried to soften the blow. “My wife is just a housewife. She’s idle all day; I don’t want her disturbing your work.”

Mia could tell from his expression that he simply didn’t want her near his wife.

The reason remained a mystery.

‘I understand. Because of work, I’ve had to decline Mrs. Gallagher’s invitations several times. Please convey my apologies to her.”

Mr. Gallagher’s brow relaxed, and he smiled. “Ms. Carter is a businesswoman; I’m sure you don’t enjoy these kinds of social obligations. Why don’t you head over there? Mr. Hale looks like he’s getting overwhelmed.”

Alright.”

The group of men Ethan was with included a few notable female executives from Everett.

Though Mia walked in that direction, she merely found a secluded spot to sit down.

She glanced back at the Gallaghers.

Mrs. Gallagher had walked over to where Mia and her husband had been talking.

Mr. Gallagher was scolding her, his face dark.

Mrs. Gallagher looked toward Mia, her expression one of reluctant longing.

Mia looked away.

She could feel that Mrs. Gallagher was intentionally trying to get close to her.

She wasn’t interested in knowing why the woman liked her so much.

But she did want to know why Mr. Gallagher was so against them being close.
