His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458

Nina fished a piece of scalding hot tofu out of the pot and shoved it directly into his mouth. “Shut up!”

“Ow! Sss! Hot!”

Jaxon jumped up in pain, circling the table twice before finally finding a trash can to spit it out. His mouth was already beet red, and he could feel a blister forming on his tongue.

“You… you toxic woman!”

“Not as toxic as your mouth.”

Nina couldn’t stand the thought of her adorable Toby’s father being the way Jaxon described.

Jaxon gulped down some cold water until his mouth felt a bit better.

“Sperm donors have to go through a screening process,” Mia told Jaxon. “Not just for health, but their backgrounds have to be clean too. The hospital Nina chose is the most reputable and strict one in the country. There won’t be any problems.”

“I was just speaking off the cuff. Is there any need to get that angry?”

Jaxon pulled his chair back, sitting further away from Nina.

Nina shot him a glare. “How would you feel if I said your future son’s mother is currently lying in some random man’s bed, and God knows how many men she’s been with before?”

A son’s mother and a wife felt like two very different concepts.

Jaxon felt a jolt of defensiveness. He could accept a future wife not being a virgin, but the idea of his child’s mother having a messy private life was something he couldn’t accept for the sake of the child…

“Drink three rounds as a penalty and I’ll forgive you,” Nina said, tilting her chin at him.

“My tongue is blistered and you want me to drink more liquor? You want me dead!”

Jaxon huffed. “Once my tongue is healed, I’ll make it up to you.

Nina laughed. “Fine. At least you’re a man of your word. You’re forgiven.”

As the two of them bickered, Mia ate in silence. Perhaps it was the heat or the noise of the argument, but she felt incredibly restless.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Stella Lewis.

Mia used the call as an excuse to get up and head into the living room.

“Stella.”

“Mia! Oh no, Mr. Hale isn’t right!”

The wind was howling on Stella’s end, her voice being whipped away as soon as she spoke. Mia had to press the phone tightly against her ear to hear her.

“What’s wrong?”

There was a business meeting this afternoon, but halfway there, Mr. Hale told me to cancel it. Then he had me drop him off at the Bay Bridge. He’s been sitting on a rock by the bridge for half an hour now, staring at the sea without saying a word.”

Stella had never seen Ethan like this before. she was terrified. “Mr. Hale… he isn’t going to jump into the sea, is

he?”

Mia’s expression darkened. “Don’t talk nonsense. He wouldn’t.”

‘Oh, someone else just arrived.”

Stella craned her neck to look. “It’s a man. He even brought alcohol. It’s so cold by the sea at night, this is…”

Mia’s intuition told her the man was Cole Preston. She took a breath and said softly, “You should head back first. Mr. Hale will be fine.”

‘Are

you sure?” Stella wasn’t convinced. “If something happens, will I be held responsible?”
