His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407

I’m afraid I’m not good enough for these young gentlemen.”

Mia Carter neatly dodged the trap Serena Woods was trying to set.

But Serena was prepared with another one.

Someone already has their eye on you since you walked in. They asked me to put in a good word. They don’t care about status or background, so let me introduce you.”

Serena turned and signaled toward the crowd.

A man in a dark gray suit, looking to be in his late thirties, stepped forward. He wore old-fashioned ›lack-rimmed glasses, and his hair was slicked back with a thick layer of pomade that made it shine under the ights. The stubble on his jaw and his slightly coarse skin betrayed his age.

Clinton, this is the Ms. Carter I told you about. The one who’s very interested in you,” Serena whispered to Clinton Sterling. “Her background is a bit lacking, but she’s capable and quite a few years younger than you. Make

t count.”

Clinton’s eyes were practically glued to Mia. “Understood.”

He brushed Serena off and focused entirely on Mia. Serena led him over.

Mia, this is Clinton Sterling, the CEO of Sterling Tech.”

f he had been some young playboy, Mia would have found an excuse to leave immediately. But since he was a ellow business owner, she couldn’t be as blunt.

she reached out her hand. “Mr. Sterling, I’m Mia Carter from the Bayview branch.”

Ms. Carter.” Clinton gripped her soft, fair hand, a wide grin breaking across his face.

I’ll leave you two to chat. I have other guests to attend to.” Serena patted Clinton on the shoulder, gave him a nowing look, and walked away.

Clinton didn’t even glance back at her; his eyes never left Mia. He was a wealthy bachelor who had spent his ounger years focused on his career, leaving his love life neglected. Now, nearing forty, he was incredibly picky. He wasn’t interested in women who were only after his money, but he found flaws in those who weren’t.

inding a suitable partner had been a major headache for him, especially with a family estate waiting for an heir.

Right now, Mia seemed perfect. And according to Serena, Mia was interested in him too. To him, this felt like lestiny.

Miss Carter, how old are you this year?” Clinton asked.

This wasn’t a business inquiry; it was a blind date opener. Mia realized Serena must have fed him a completely different story.

Mr. Sterling, I think… there might be a misunderstanding,” Mia said diplomatically.

What misunderstanding?” Clinton asked. “Mrs. Gallagher Jr. told me all about your situation. Let me tell you

about mine.”

I’m a bit older than you, but I don’t have much experience in relationships. I’ve seen many women, but I’ve hardly dated any of them.”

Clinton assumed Mia’s sudden hesitation was because she had lost interest after seeing him up close. He began to aggressively sell himself to win her back.

My parents are deceased, and I’m an only child. You should be familiar with the foundation of Sterling Tech. You won’t be losing out by marrying me. I can tell you aren’t greedy. Once we’re married, you can stay home and raise he children. You can even help me with the business…”

Mia felt like she finally understood the people of Everett after being here for so long. Clinton’s approach to Finding a wife was more serious than his approach to work. Serena must have told him she was interested in him with the intention of dating. That was why he was being so transparent.

Mr. Sterling, I’m sorry, but I…”

How about this? Don’t be so quick to reject me.”

Clinton knew he was being turned down the moment he heard the word “sorry.” But he wanted to salvage it. Out of all the blind dates he had been on, she was a rare find.

Let’s start as friends. We can exchange contact info and get to know each other.” Clinton pulled out his phone and opened his WhatsApp, prompting her to scan his QR code.
