His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419

Since becoming pregnant, Mia Carter had received almost no care from anyone besides the meticulous attention provided by Nina Torres.

She couldn’t help but steal another glance at Mrs. Gallagher.

The cold wall of rejection she had built up softened, even if only for a fleeting second.

Thank you. I’ll be careful.”

You’re very welcome.”

Mrs. Gallagher gave a kind smile, her eyes warm and gentle. “A woman’s pregnancy is the most difficult time. You nust never let yourself feel wronged, and above all, don’t bottle up your anger. Do you understand?”

Mia nodded. “There’s nothing to be angry about. My car is almost here; I need to cross the street to wait for it. Goodbye.”

She turned to leave.

Suddenly, Mrs. Gallagher called out, “Wait, there’s something here.”

Before Mia could turn around, she felt a sharp tug on her hair. Her scalp stung twice, like a needle prick.

Look at me, I accidentally pulled your hair. There was some kind of lint stuck in it.”

Between Mrs. Gallagher’s fingertips was a small bit of white fluff, entangled with two strands of dark hair.

Mia raised a hand to rub her scalp.

Did I hurt you?” Mrs. Gallagher immediately reached out, looking like she wanted to stroke Mia’s head.

Mia instinctively dodged the gesture.

It’s fine. Thank you.”

A flash of disappointment crossed Mrs. Gallagher’s face as she let her hand drop back to her side.

Go on then. Be safe on the road. You don’t have any family or friends here in Everett; if anything happens, you an always come to me for help.”

Mia had lost count of how many times she had thanked Mrs. Gallagher today.

aced with this unexplained kindness, she could only respond with those pale words of gratitude. In her heart, she elt strangely unmoved.

Aside from that single spark of warmth a moment ago, she felt nothing.

She turned and headed toward the other side of the street.

Mrs. Gallagher closed her hand, tightly clutching the two freshly plucked hairs.

She turned back toward the restaurant. Before she could even reach their private booth, she saw Mr. Gallagher ushing out, his face pale with anxiety.

Is Mia gone?”

Mrs. Gallagher nodded and tucked the two hairs into a small plastic bag. “This is her hair. Take it for the paternity

test.”

‘Never mind that for now!”

Mr. Gallagher pushed her hand away. “Call Mia immediately. Ethan Hale just snatched a major project from our company. He’s doing this to get revenge for her!”

Mrs. Gallagher’s face went white. “What is wrong with that man? He demanded an explanation, so we suppressed the news and stood up for Mia, didn’t we? Why is he still-”

“What’s the point of talking about this now?”

Mr. Gallagher interrupted her. “Think of something! Contact Mia right now!”

Mrs. Gallagher had no choice but to pull out her phone and dial Mia’s number.

At that moment, Mia had just stepped into her taxi.

‘Mrs. Gallagher, I don’t believe this has anything to do with me. I suggest Mr. Gallagher find a way to meet with Mr. Hale in person and find out exactly what’s going on.”

There was a few seconds of silence on Mrs. Gallagher’s end before Mr. Gallagher’s voice came through.

‘When the news first broke, Mr. Hale’s people came to me demanding an explanation. That’s why I suppressed the story… of course, even if Mr. Hale hadn’t spoken up, the Gallagher family was at fault, and I should take responsibility. Mr. Hale must feel that what the Gallaghers have done isn’t enough. Ms. Carter, could you please help us out?”

Mia hadn’t realized that Ethan had actually gone to Mr. Gallagher to demand an explanation.

Was it… for her?

‘Mr. Gallagher, although the news has been suppressed, Bayview’s stock price has already been affected. I have resigned out of accountability and am currently waiting for Mr. Hale’s approval. I am truly powerless to help in

his matter.”

It wasn’t that Mia wouldn’t help; she simply couldn’t.

What Ethan did, why he did it-how was she supposed to question or control him?

“Then I’ll have to think of another way.”
