Chapter 466
“Most girls are like you-they reject it. A few have scammed her out of money and run off. I warned you before because I was afraid her condition would ruin our business partnership, and I was also afraid you were just another scammer. Please understand.”
“And please, have some sympathy for a mother’s heart. No mother can handle losing a child. I hope you won’t reject her kindness, okay?”
A child who lost a mother is different from a child in a healthy family.
And a mother who lost a child is different from other mothers.
Mia couldn’t help but be moved by the sentiment.
But she was only moved by the tragedy; she still instinctively rejected Mrs. Gallagher’s behavior.
“Mr. Gallagher, if it’s truly as you say, I’m deeply sorry. If there’s any other way I can help your wife, you can ask, and I’ll do what I can. But I don’t want her ‘kindness’ affecting my normal life. I hope you understand that.”
Mr. Gallagher’s expression darkened slightly, but he quickly smoothed it over.
“Never mind. It is an awkward situation. I won’t bother you further. You can head back.”
Mia nodded and turned to leave.
As soon as she stepped out of the Gallagher house, Mrs. Gallagher chased after her carrying a fruit platter.
“Mia, have some fruit. These are cherries; I know you’ll like them…”
Mia didn’t look back, saying “No thank you,” but Mrs. Gallagher kept jogging after her.
Her taxi was already gone, and it was hard to hail another car in this gated community.
While Mia was worrying, she suddenly saw a Cullinan parked by the road.
The window was halfway down, revealing Ethan Hale’s sharp profile.
Seeing her come out, he unlocked the doors. “Get in.”
“Okay.” Mia hesitated for a second, then snapped out of it and pulled open the back door.
Before Ethan could pull away, Mrs. Gallagher caught up.
“Mrs. Gallagher.”
Ethan locked the doors and looked up at her. “No need to see her off. Please, go back inside.”
Mrs. Gallagher looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Hale, what are you doing here?”
“I have some business to discuss with her.”
Ethan started the engine and gave a short honk, signaling that she was blocking the way.
Mrs. Gallagher glanced at the back seat.
The tinted windows were dark, showing only Mia’s silhouette.

She had no choice but to step back.
Ethan hit the gas, and the Cullinan shot forward like an arrow.

Mr. Gallagher caught up and stood beside his wife, whispering something that made her lower her head.
Their figures grew smaller in the rearview mirror.
Until the car turned at the end of the villa district and they vanished completely.
“What happened?” Ethan glanced at the rearview mirror, meeting Mia’s clear
