His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491

Ethan Hale’s brows knitted, his voice dripping with displeasure. “If you’re so bored, get over here and organize

these files.”

Leo Martinez felt a chill run down his spine. Without a word, he turned and hurried back to Ethan’s side.

‘Mr. Hale, which files do you want me to organize?

Ethan tossed a stack of perfectly neat documents toward him.

They were clearly already organized, and Ethan didn’t specify what else needed to be done. Leo could only lower his head and pretend to shuffle things around, touching a page here and adjusting a folder there.

“What’s the situation in Northbrook? Ethan asked.

Leo replied, “The news has been suppressed. Mrs. Bennett has been waiting at the Hale Manor gates for a day and a night. She’s demanding to see your mother.”

At this, Leo felt a bit puzzled. “Why aren’t they looking for you? What do they want with Mrs. Hale?”

Ethan’s lips moved as if to speak, but a faint, fussy grunt came from the bassinet.

Mia Carter craned her neck to look over, but she could only see the little guy’s tiny legs kicking and his hands waving. She couldn’t reach him from where she lay.

Take the files to Cole’s room. I’ll handle them there later,’ Ethan ordered.

He stood up and walked toward the bassinet. Learning from the doula’s movements, he gently rocked the small

›ed.

Is he hungry?”

Mia shook her head. “I don’t know. The doula should be back soon. Just bring him to me and go take care of your

vork.

The doula said that after a C-section, it’s best not to carry the baby for at least a month.*

A man who was a shark in the business world, making multi-million dollar decisions every minute, was currently eing rendered completely helpless by a six-pound infant.

eo glanced at the scene, grabbed the files, and silently retreated from the ward.

As the door clicked shut, he couldn’t help but steal one last look inside.

Ex-husband, former boss-they weren’t even considered friends.

.eo knew that Mia was currently like a fish on a cutting board, with no choice but to go with the flow.

But he truly didn’t understand what Ethan was thinking. No matter which role he played, it shouldn’t be Ethan ersonally caring for this child and protecting Mia.

However, the Gallagher family situation… it was a long story.

Leo closed the door completely and headed to Cole Preston’s ward.

Cole had two broken ribs, a face covered in bruises, and his head wrapped in

gauze.

‘Is this… Mr. Preston?” Leo almost didn’t recognize him.

Cole’s eyes shifted toward him. “It is.”

“The injuries are so severe. The Gallaghers really played dirty.”

Leo set the stack of files down, suddenly feeling a bit guilty. “Sorry, I came here in such a rush I didn’t think to

ɔring a gift

He should have at least bought some fruit.

‘Just have your boss compensate me later,” Cole rasped. He looked at the files. “Are those all for him?”

Yes, they’re urgent,” Leo nodded.

Cole lifted a hand and pointed to the phone sitting on top of the files. “Is that Ethan’s phone?”

Yes.” Leo hadn’t even realized he had brought the phone with him. He picked it up, intending to put it in his

ocket.

Let me see it,” Cole said, waving him over.

eo hesitated, looking conflicted. “Mr. Preston, Mr. Hale’s phone contains company secrets. This is against

>rotocol.”

I just want to look at it. I heard the performance on this model is quite good.” Cole’s expression remained neutral. I’m not in his industry. It’s not like I can sell his secrets.”

True enough.

eo pulled the phone out and handed it over.

I heard this phone has the largest RAM in the country-high performance and high value. Did you buy it for him, or did he buy it himself?”
