Chapter 500
Nina wasn’t ready to give up. “And what about Dex? Don’t you think it’s cute? It stands for Double + Extra.”
Ethan shot her a look. “Stop playing so much poker.”
Mia: “…”
‘Double, Super Double, pass, I’ll take it… The sound effects from the gambling app echoed in Mia’s head like a demon’s whisper. She hadn’t made the connection until Ethan mentioned it. Now, she could never look at the name the same way again.
‘Mind your own business! Dex, Godmother is leaving now!” Nina said with a pointed look at the baby. “Little man, call me Mom later!”
Mia pushed her out, cutting off whatever she was going to say next. “You don’t need to come back. Go home and ake good care of Toby.”
No way,” Nina whispered. “Even if I have to turn into a fly, I’ll buzz past these obstacles to find you. Wait for my nessage.”
Cole Preston was waiting at the end of the hallway. The surrounding bodyguards looked like wooden pillars, but hey all had ears. Unable to speak further, Nina had to leave.
She was fuming. The fact that she couldn’t be by Mia’s side for something as major as childbirth was eating at her. And now Mia had to live under Ethan’s nose, walking on eggshells with the baby every day.
When she reached Cole, she couldn’t help but snap, “I think you’ve lost your mind, hanging out with someone like
Ethan!”
Cole: “…”
Having been caught in the crossfire, he watched helplessly as Nina marched away.
nside the ward, Mia closed the door and walked back toward Ethan. “Give the baby to me.”
The little guy had fallen asleep in Ethan’s arms. Ethan had covered the baby’s eyes with a thin cloth and was sitting
n a patch of sunlight. The baby had a bit of jaundice, and Cole had said he needed at least thirty minutes of unlight a day.
I’m holding him in the sun. It’s perfect.” Ethan signaled for Mia to lie back down.
Mia sat on the edge of the bed, watching the father and son. A complex emotion she couldn’t describe washed ver her. Perhaps it was the blood connection, but Ethan didn’t seem to find the child repulsive at all-a child that, n his eyes, had nothing to do with him.
since getting back in touch with Nina, Mia had become even more anxious. Her phone, which was permanently ›n silent, was receiving messages every minute. Nina was either complaining about Ethan or demanding photos of Zane. Mia only replied when she had a free moment.
The water in Everett seems even deeper than in Northbrook. I can’t dig up any info at all! Are you sure Ethan sn’t lying to you? Is something really happening?]
Aunt May actually hasn’t left yet. She came to see me today and asked if you had a son. I ignored her.]

[Mrs. Gallagher came to see me again today. She asked if I’d reached you and when you’re being discharged. Seriously, when are you getting out?]
When was she getting out?
In the blink of an eye, Zane was twenty-five days old. Normally, she should have been discharged long ago. Ethan’s reasoning was that she should finish her postpartum recovery month in the hospital to avoid being moved
around.
