“Who told you I was going to interfere?” Ethan Hale’s heart sank, his face darkening as he leveled a gaze at Leo Martinez that carried a heavy weight of authority.
Leo: *…*
Back in the car, who was the one who said, “If I don’t look after her, who will?”
Didn’t that mean interfering?
Was he just stung because he realized he no longer had the standing to do anything?
Let’s go. Ethan stood up, draped his coat over his shoulder, and walked out.
Leo could only follow him. Regardless, it was better than going back to Northbrook; there was less work here anyway.
Jaxon Rivers had rented a 3,200-square-foot luxury penthouse for Mia Carter in the city center.
He had used his position for personal gain to the fullest, making Nina Torres move in as well.
The penthouse had a total of six bedrooms, split between two wings with the living room, kitchen, and dining room in the middle. The distance was far enough that the two children wouldn’t disturb each other.
“Great place, right? I put a lot of effort into finding this spot.” Jaxon carried bags inside, spreading his arms and looking for praise. “Don’t be too grateful.”
Mia went straight to the living room and sat down, taking Zane Carter from the bassinet and placing him in a portable crib.
Nina had already moved in. Toby was sitting on a play mat in the living room, a pacifier in his mouth. His dark, watery eyes watched Zane curiously as
he craned his neck.
Clara was in the kitchen preparing lunch. Hearing the commotion, she ran out.
Mia, you’re finally back! Let me see…”
Mia was about to greet her, but Clara walked right past her, heading straight for the crib.
“Oh, look at those thick brows and big eyes. He’s definitely going to be a handsome heartbreaker when he grows up.”
Nina walked in wearing slippers and sat on the play mat. “Clara, you said the exact same thing when you first saw my Toby. You need to change your script once in a while. You’re lacking sincerity.”
Clara shot her a look. “I was just being polite with you back then. This time, I’m genuinely impressed.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? My Toby isn’t handsome?” Nina glared. “Clara, don’t forget, I’m the one who pays your salary!”
“It’s a different kind of handsome.” Clara wasn’t intimidated. “Mia’s boy looks like a rugged kind of handsome. Our Toby is like a flower-delicate and
beautiful features…”
There were many types of male beauty. Nina hadn’t dated much, but she’d seen plenty.
In her mind, Clara’s description of Toby sounded like she was saying he looked like a girl. Not the charming allure of someone like Jaxon Rivers, but… the pretty, clean, and delicate look of someone like Cole Preston.
Wait! Was she basically saying he looked like a pretty boy? Nina nearly choked on her breath.
“Oh, my soup! You guys settle in, lunch will be ready soon.’ Clara hurried back to the kitchen.
Nina had moved Mia’s luggage and already unpacked for her.
Mia began organizing Zane’s things. On the other side of the room, Jaxon and Nina were leaning over the crib, studying Zane.
His name is Zane?”
“Yeah, Mia picked it.”
The name sounds a bit too formal. I’ll give him a nickname- Jaxon rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.
Nina gave a smug grin. Too late. I already picked one: Dex.”

Dex” Jaxon blinked. Like Double the fun”>
“Exactly. Nina wiggled her eyebrows, looking incredibly pleased with herself.
Jaxon grinned too. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, Tm the godfather, so I’ll add to it. Dex the Sprout.”
Nina’s lip twitched. That’s a bit much, isn’t it? I mean, it feels satisfying, but you can’t play with a kid’s name like that. It sounds terrible.”
