“What? Nina Torres’s voice was sharp. Mia’s heritage? You found her parents?”

Jaxon Rivers shook his head. “Not exactly. But I found out that when Aunt May first arrived in Northbrook, she brought a child with her. According to my investigation, that child was Mia Carter.”

Nina turned to look at Mia. “But Aunt May told us she found you on the mountain near a temple in Northbrook!”

Mia’s hand tightened around the handle of the bassinet, her knuckles turning white. The veins on the back of her hand bulged slightly.

She took a deep breath and met Nina’s gaze. Right now, none of that is important to me.”

‘It is important!” Jaxon said, watching her through the rearview mirror. “Aunt May is originally from Everett. That means there’s a high chance you’re from here too.

Nina immediately turned back to Jaxon. Keep digging then. Find out more.

Her enthusiasm only made Mia’s silence more pronounced.

axon asked tentatively, “Mia, do you want me to keep looking?”

Do it!” Nina told Mia. “We’ll decide whether or not to acknowledge them once we know who they are. What if your parents have been looking for you all these years?”

Mia’s brow remained tightly furrowed. “What if things aren’t the way we imagine?”

Then we’ll just act like they don’t exist,” Nina insisted. “Assume the worst-that they threw you away and didn’t want you. You’ve avoided looking for hem all these years because you were afraid of that scenario, right? Well, the worst-case scenario just brings us back to our current life! But have you ver considered the alternative? What if they’ve been looking for you this whole time? It’s been over twenty years… imagine them crying themselves to leep every night without you…”

Before she became a mother, Mia couldn’t truly grasp the pain of losing a child.

But now, she had Zane Carter.

The thought that she might have actually been lost-and how frantic her parents would have been-began to break down her resistance.

I’ll handle the investigation on my end,” Jaxon said, sensing her resolve softening. But there’s a faster way: go ask Aunt May directly.”

Nina pulled out her phone to contact Aunt May, asking if she had returned to Northbrook yet.

Zane was asleep. As Mia looked at his peaceful face, the calm in her heart began to ripple.

Biological parents? It was a strange, alien concept. She couldn’t tell if it was her natural pessimism, but she had a nagging bad feeling about this.

A Maybach sped down the highway.

Why haven’t you returned to Northbrook yet?”

Ethan Hale shot a glance at Leo Martinez, who was driving.

eo hesitated for a few seconds before answering, “I felt you needed me more here, Mr. Hale.’

What’s the situation in Northbrook? Ethan’s voice was cold.

The company is stable, and the news has been suppressed,” Leo replied. The Hale family is standing united and ignoring Mrs. Bennett’s rumors. But hings are at a stalemate. If the Bennett family finds an opening, they’ll definitely make a scene.”

They were waiting for their moment.

My mother… no movement from her?”

Knowing Miranda Hale’s personality, she wouldn’t just let things drop. Ethan knew his mother well.

Leo let out a pained “uh,” his heart sinking. The reason he hadn’t gone back to Northbrook was specifically to avoid Miranda.

Previously, Miranda had suspected the baby was Ethan’s and ordered Leo to investigate. But with the wedding to Chloe Bennett approaching, she had been too distracted to press him.

Now, she was hounding him with one call after another, demanding he find out the truth immediately. Leo didn’t know if the Hale family would
