“Shut up!” Nina’s chest heaved with anger. ‘Jaxon Rivers, are you intentionally trying to mess with me?”
“I didn’t say that, and I’m not doing that. You’re the one being argumentative.” Jaxon moved to stand next to Mia, suddenly nudging her shoulder and whispering, “But I was serious about some of the things I just said.”
Some of the things? He had said so much; which part was he serious about?
Before Mia could process it, Nina grabbed a stuffed doll and hurled it at Jaxon.
You think you can steal her from me?”
Jaxon dodged the flying toy, and the two of them began chasing each other around the large living room.
Mia stood between them, trying to play peacemaker. “Alright, that’s enough. You’re going to scare the kids.
Zane was sound asleep, but Toby was sitting on the play mat, his little head tilted back as he watched them. His lower lip began to tremble, looking like he was about to burst into tears.
Nina turned around and realized Toby was terrified.
‘I don’t care, Mia.” She leaned down to scoop Toby up and walked back to Mia’s side. The two of us will always be each other’s number one. Our kids will grow up to be best friends-brothers-no matter what happens!”
They will, Mia replied instinctively.
Nina wasn’t satisfied. “What do you mean ‘they will? You should say ‘of course.’ We grew up together, and these two are less than a year apart. No matter what happens or who tries to interfere, nothing can threaten our bond!”
Mia had assumed Nina was just venting her frustration at Jaxon. Her previous response had been a bit dismissive, but it had triggered an intense
reaction from Nina.
Of course. No matter what happens, we’ll always be best friends, and they’ll always be brothers.”
Nina nodded solemnly, locking eyes with Mia for a few seconds. The atmosphere suddenly felt heavy and serious.
Jaxon, did you hear that? She likes me best. If you want to marry her, you have to go through me first!” After a few moments, Nina lifted her chin and hot Jaxon a smug, triumphant look.
Fine, fine. You two are the ultimate duo.” Jaxon stopped arguing, but he gave Mia a long, lingering look that was full of unsaid words.
Dex is awake. Go check on him.”
A faint baby’s cry drifted from the nursery. Nina nudged Mia.
Mia turned toward the nursery. “You guys talk. I’ll be right back.”
The little guy needed to nurse as soon as he woke up, or he’d be grumpy. She closed the nursery door behind her.
axon watched the door click shut and then sat down across from Nina. “You women are so dramatic and slow about everything.”
Vina placed Toby back on the play mat, stroking his head. “Son, you’re the big brother. You have to look after little brother Dex, okay? No matter what happens, remember-he’s always your brother, and Godmother will always be Godmother.”
He’s a baby, he doesn’t understand a word you’re saying, Jaxon said, leaning back and crossing his legs to lighten the mood. ‘I didn’t realize you were so entimental under that tough exterior. You were overdoing it just now, Mia definitely sensed something was off.”
She won’t.” Nina turned to look at Jaxon. “Her entire world revolves around the baby right now. If it didn’t, she would have cracked during that month Ethan was taking care of her.”
axon paused. You mean Mia still has feelings for Ethan?”
Nina arched an eyebrow. “If she wasn’t such a sentimental person, she never would have divorced him in the first place.”
Di… divorced? Jaxon sat up straight, the smile vanishing from his face.
Oh, sorry. I forgot you didn’t know.” Nina’s expression held zero apology as she stared Jaxon down. “Mia and Ethan had a marriage. It lasted two years.”
She watched his reaction closely. Now that you know, do you still want to marry her?”
