The atmosphere was suffocating, thick with a strange, heavy tension. Mia opened the door and stepped out, walking around to the driver’s side to pull Jaxon away from the car.

“Thank you, Mr. Hale. Drive safe.”

She turned to leave.

Jaxon leaned back toward the car window. “What happened? Who? Who bullied her?”

Mia turned back and grabbed Jaxon by his shirt, dragging him away from the Cullinan.

She had a feeling that if Jaxon said one more word, Ethan might actually tear him apart. It wasn’t that she was afraid Jaxon would get hurt; she just felt unsettled facing this version of Ethan.

She wanted Ethan gone and Jaxon out of the way.

Ethan’s eyes narrowed as he watched Mia drag Jaxon away. His clear gaze gradually darkened with a somber gloom.

Mia pulled Jaxon inside and shut the door. Only after she had blocked out that gaze did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

What happened?” Jaxon chased after her. “Who bullied you?”

Mia shook her head. “No one. It was a misunderstanding.”

She turned to go further into the house, but stopped after a few steps. “I’m going over to Nina’s. Go home.”

Why did Ethan drop you off?”

axon followed her back out, catching sight of the Cullinan’s taillights disappearing at the end of the street. “Is he egretting letting you go? Trying to poach you back?”

You’re overthinking it. He was just passing by and gave me à ride.”

Mia ignored him and headed toward Nina’s house.

axon watched her back, scratching his head. “What’s his deal? Scumbag. Trying to steal Mia back? He’s trying to warn me off, isn’t he? I need to ask him…”

He pulled out his phone and called Ethan.

Inside the quiet car, a faint, delicate scent lingered in the air-it was Mia’s scent.

The fragrance stirred memories deep within Ethan’s mind.

The sudden ringtone snapped him out of it. He glanced at the phone and hung up without hesitation. When it rang again, he blocked the number.

The cramped space remained quiet for less than three seconds before the phone rang again.

It was Leo. Ethan tapped his Bluetooth headset to answer.

‘Mr. Hale, Mr. Gallagher has requested a meeting.”

‘Mr. Gallagher said he’s free all day and is waiting for your reply. I’ll schedule it for lunch, then.”

‘Good.” Ethan’s gaze sharpened. “What about the investigation into Arthur Gallagher?”

‘It’s not going well. The Gallagher family is very tight-lipped. I’m afraid some things are only known by those involved.” Leo sighed. “Besides, they’re thousands of miles away from Everett. It’s going to take more time.”

Move as fast as you can. Arrange the dinner first.”

Yes, sir.”
