Mia hadn’t expected Jaxon to come. Her smile was initially because she was finally free, but seeing him made it falter slightly. She slowed her pace.

Nina made a face at her before walking over with Jaxon.

Finally out! My godson! Thank you for your hard work,’ Ethan,” Nina said as she reached Ethan. She took the bassinet from him with a pointed,

nsincere smile.

axon handed the flowers to Mia. “You’ve had a tough time.”

Mia took the flowers. The “thank you” she was about to say got stuck in her throat because “tough time’ didn’t quite seem like the right thing to say to a new mother.

Mr. Hale, after your wedding was canceled, all of Northbrook went into chaos,” Jaxon said, standing two steps below Ethan on the stairs. He looked up vith a mocking grin. “Who would have thought you were hiding out here, enjoying the peace and quiet?”

Do you have any idea? The Bennett family and your family have completely fallen out. Chloe’s mother has been camping outside your manor for over

week, and your mother refuses to see her. Sandra Bennett was so furious she started spreading rumors everywhere, saying you’ve cheated and bandoned her daughter and that your mother is enabling you.”

Mia instinctively looked at Ethan.

f the wedding was canceled, there was no way the Bennett family would let it go quietly. The Hale family must have been in turmoil this past month.

Mr. Hale, thank you for everything during this time. You should probably head back to Northbrook and handle things,” Mia said softly.

Ethan looked at the fresh flowers in her arms. After a few seconds of silence, he turned and walked toward the parking lot without a word.

He… just left?” Nina had come prepared for a battle. She thought she’d have to fight tooth and nail to get Mia away from him.

axon smirked. “What else is he going to do? The situation in Northbrook is far more serious than you think.”

Then tell us! What exactly happened?” Nina complained as they walked. “I mean, you went back to Northbrook for his wedding, too. He’s already back ere even though the wedding failed, so why did it take you so long to get back?”

I’ll tell you in the car.”

axon headed to his car, popped the trunk, and loaded Mia’s and the baby’s things inside before driving them away.

Mia sat in the back next to Zane’s bassinet, watching the sleeping little guy.

n the passenger seat, Nina urged him, “Come on, spill it.”

The real reason Ethan and Chloe canceled the wedding is a secret only the Hale and Bennett families know. I had my people dig for days and couldn’t ind a lead,” Jaxon explained. “But based on what happened that day, Chloe must have done something to piss off Ethan’s mother. Miranda Hale was

he one who canceled it. Given their history, she probably didn’t go public with the reason to save the Bennett family some face.”

o, while Sandra Bennett was out there spreading lies about Ethan cheating to ruin the Hale family’s reputation, most people just saw it as a joke. No ne really believed her.

I just didn’t expect Ethan to come all the way here to find you!”

axon gripped the steering wheel tight, venting his frustration. He honked the horn, the sharp blast echoing through the street. “You have no idea what e did! He intentionally tripped me up in Northbrook just to keep me there!”

He had known Mia was close to her due date. He had tried calling and messaging her repeatedly with no response, so he had planned to fly to Everett mmediately. But then a major crisis hit his company, and he was forced to stay in Northbrook to handle it.

Ethan said Everett isn’t safe and that someone wants to hurt Mia-something about the Gallagher family. But we don’t even know any Gallaghers. Do ou know what’s going on?

Vina was more worried about Mia and the baby’s safety than Ethan’s motives.

axon slapped his forehead. “Look at me. I actually found some information a while back. It’s about Mia’s heritage, but since I couldn’t reach you, it lipped my mind.”
