Ethan noticed her expression shifting. His tone gradually softened. “Did you cross paths with them before?”

Mia froze, her brows knitting together. “Aside from not getting along with Serena Woods, I haven’t had any contact with them.”

If the Gallaghers wanted to stick up for Serena and save face, an investigation didn’t make sense. They could have easily attacked Mia by focusing on the fact that her child’s father was unknown; Mia would have had no way to fight back.

“Then think carefully if anything felt off during your interactions with them.”

Ethan had already assigned Leo Martinez to keep an eye on the Gallaghers, but he still warned her, “In your current condition, don’t give anyone an opening.”

An opening?

Did he mean her baby? That little life? He was telling her she needed to be on guard at all times and watch for any sign of trouble.

Mia nodded mechanically, suppressing the ripple of emotion his concern caused in her heart.

‘Mr. Hale, I don’t know why the Gallaghers are investigating me, but I know exactly why Serena is targeting me.”

She caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure in the corner and her expression turned cold. “You and Chloe are getting narried soon. We should maintain an appropriate distance.”

Ethan’s throat tightened. Her indifferent, distant expression made his heart sting.

He instinctively started to say, “Chloe and I-”

Whatever is going on between you and Ms. Bennett is none of my business. I hope you can keep the boundaries :lear, Mr. Hale.”

Mia cut him off. She didn’t want to know how good their relationship was or how many times they had fought.

Ethan’s face clouded with suppressed rage. Her coldness and the way she kept him at arm’s length made a fire flare ip in his chest.

Mia, you really don’t know what’s good for you.”

He was angry.

Nearby, the sales associate emerged from the elevator, the shopping cart rattling as she pushed it toward them.

Miss Carter, we offer an on-site assembly service for the crib. Would you and your husband like to experience assembling it for the baby yourselves, or should we send a technician?”

Mia stepped past Ethan and walked toward the associate. “I’m sorry, but could you please just deliver it and assemble it for me?”

The associate instinctively looked at Ethan.

‘Also, he isn’t my husband. You’ve misunderstood.”

Mia added the explanation, clutching her dress as she walked away in the opposite direction from Ethan.

Metic

Wait-“By the time the associate realized what had happened, Mia had already disappeared around the corner.

Ethan got into his car, slamming the door so hard the sound echoed through the entire garage.

An hour later, the crib was delivered and assembled.

In just two short days, the nursery had been completely transformed. Mia, who had been feeling a bit down, felt her heart warm up again as she looked at the baby things.

Nina Torres came over with Toby. They played in the nursery and chatted for a while, but Mia didn’t mention her encounter with Ethan.
