His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443

Mia took ten minutes to whip up a simple hangover soup.

When she brought it out to Jaxon, the hot steam swirled between them.

From outside the kitchen window, Ethan saw the two of them sitting close together on the sofa.

His brow furrowed, his eyes darkening to an abyssal depth. He pulled a cigarette from his pocket, tucked it between his lips, and lit it.

Inside the apartment, Mia kept a two-meter distance from Jaxon.

She turned to him. “Can you tell me now?”

The person in charge of your orphanage? She’s spent every cent you and Nina gave her.”

axon clicked his tongue in pity. “Did you know she’s a gambler?”

Mia’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you… are you sure you didn’t get that wrong?”

How could I?” Jaxon pulled a stack of photos from his inner suit pocket and handed them over. “See for yourself.”

I have no grudge against her. Why would I make up a rumor like this?” Jaxon thumped his chest. “I had my people lig this up.”

Mia’s head began to throb.

She flipped through the photos again. Some even showed her younger self from twenty years ago.

This meant Aunt May had been gambling since she was young.

Mia suddenly remembered a few times when she was a child. She had woken up in the middle of the night to find Aunt May’s bed empty.

She and Nina had searched the entire orphanage but couldn’t find a trace of her. They had eventually huddled ogether in the corner of the bed and fallen asleep.

When they woke up, Aunt May was back, claiming they had just been sleepwalking and had seen things.

There were many memories like that, but she had never taken them to heart; after all, she had been too young back

then.

Later, when she and Nina went to boarding school, they rarely went back to stay. After they started working, they

basically never stayed the night at the orphanage.

The money she and Nina had given Aunt May this time had been lost to gambling.

But where had the money from before come from?

“Want me to look into her for you?”
