now.”

Make things difficult for me?” A cold, mocking arch appeared on Ethan’s lips. “Not only are you not worthy of naking things difficult for me, you aren’t worthy of bullying her, either.”

Serena’s face fell. Ethan was publicly defending Mia!

Should I take that as an admission that the child in Mia Carter’s belly is yours?”

eyes, there was a surge of emotion so thick she could read it instantly. After working for Ethan for so many years, she had never seen him look so flustered.
