than looked at the newborn in the bundle. The baby was wrinkled, looking like a tiny, ugly old man.
He didn’t look like Jaxon at all.
Good thing, Ethan thought. Otherwise, he’d be even uglier.*
….” Mia’s thin brows furrowed, her pale face full of hesitation. She clearly didn’t want to say much to him.
than looked away, his voice carrying a trace of desolation. “Jaxon can’t help you with this. Mia, if you trust me,
sten to me.”
Mia guarded herself against him, yet she still trusted him. She remained silent for a few seconds before nodding lightly. “I trust you, but I want to tell Nina I’m safe.”
learing this, Ethan took out a phone and handed it to her. “Your phone is with Cole.”

There were only three hours left until the wedding. Ethan was supposed to be at the old manor, changing into his uit and preparing to pick up the bride.
However, he hadn’t shown his face. He wasn’t answering calls or replying to messages.
I want to see exactly what he’s trying to do!”
Miranda Hale personally drove out to find him. Ethan’s private villa was brightly lit. She parked at the front gate and marched straight inside.
