Mia nodded. “Positive.”

Nina rolled her eyes so hard they almost disappeared. “I’ve seen good people, but I’ve never seen someone this charitable. Do they have so much money they don’t know where to spend it?”

As the saying goes, the richer someone is, the stingier and more selfish they tend to be. If the wealthy were truly altruistic, there would be an endless line of people in the world waiting for help.

That was why rich people often kept a low profile-they were afraid of people coming out of the woodwork to eech off them.

From what Mia knew, the Gallagher family’s reputation in the Everett social circles wasn’t particularly good; they didn’t go out of their way to maintain a charitable image.

It was clear that none of the Gallaghers were “saints.”

As for the excuses about feeling a “connection” despite not being close, or trying to compensate for Serena’s >ehavior-none of those held water.

Forget it. I refused her anyway. I’m not going to think about it.”

Since she couldn’t figure it out, Mia decided to drop it.

Vina jumped off the sofa and sat down. “Fine. Your due date is getting closer; you shouldn’t be worrying about innoying things. Just focus on having a happy third trimester. Come on, pack your things. We’re going to book hat postpartum center you wanted today.”

The two of them had been at a stalemate over the center for a few days. Finally, Mia won; they were going to book

he one in the suburbs.

Mia stood up to grab her bag and put on her coat. She headed to the car with Clara and Toby.

While Mia was putting on her coat, Nina swiped Mia’s card from her bag, tossed it aside, and replaced it with her

›wn.

Halfway there, Toby fell asleep.

Mia’s phone, which was set to vibrate, suddenly rang. she answered, keeping her voice low.

‘Hello, is this Ms. Mia Carter?”

‘Yes.”

“You have an appointment to sign the contract for the postpartum center today, correct?”

Mia confirmed, “That’s right.”

The person on the other end hesitated before saying, “I’m very sorry, Ms. Carter, but we’re fully booked. The room has been reserved by someone else.”

“I already paid a $5,000 deposit,” Mia reminded them. “And the person who assisted me said there were several

rooms available.”

“This…” The voice faltered, sounding hesitant. “I’m sorry. There might have been an error in our reservation records. Either way, we have no rooms available now.”

Mia signaled for Nina to pull over.

Then, she spoke into the phone. “According to the contract, you are required to pay ten times the deposit for a breach of contract. However, if you tell me the real reason, I’m willing to waive the penalty. You can just return my deposit.”

Hearing this, Nina immediately pulled over to the curb. She grabbed Mia’s hand and put the phone on speaker.

“This… well, fine. I’ll be honest. Mrs. Gallagher personally called to tell us not to let you book a room. In fact, don’t bother asking any other postpartum centers-Mrs. Gallagher has already warned all of them.”
