axon Rivers fell silent.

What? Was that talk about wanting to marry Mia just a lie?”

Vina Torres’s faint smile carried a hint of scrutiny. “Jaxon, how much are you actually willing to do for her?

axon looked away, avoiding her eyes. “I wasn’t lying.”

He didn’t answer the second part.

Mia deserves the best. She just loved the wrong man once, but she’s an incredible person. Jaxon, if you can’t give her a real future, then stay away from

er.”

With that, Nina carried Toby into the kitchen to help Clara.

axon was left with a tangle of complex emotions. He didn’t care that Mia had been married to Ethan Hale. After all, she had even given birth to Ethan’s hild; she wasn’t some “innocent” maiden anymore, so a former marriage certificate didn’t matter.

But the fact that they had been married proved that Mia’s feelings for Ethan weren’t just a simple crush. Knowing it was impossible, she had still hrown herself into the flames with a heart full of intense passion.

Mia was smart. How could she not have known that marrying Ethan was a massive gamble-one she was almost certain to lose? Yet, she had done it nyway. Emotion had completely stripped her of her logic.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!”

The doorbell rang.

Jina came out of the kitchen holding the baby. “You know Cole Preston, right? Even though he’s close with Ethan, don’t make the atmosphere too ense. If you ruin this party, I’m holding you responsible.”

he gave Jaxon a final warning before heading to the door.

Outside, Cole stood holding a basket of imported fruit. Beside him, standing with empty hands, was Ethan.

Why are you here too? Nina’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Great.*

wasn’t just that Jaxon was there. The thought of Mia and Ethan sitting at the same table for a meal was suffocating. She didn’t know how Mia had urvived that month with Ethan in the hospital, but just thinking about it made Nina’s skin crawl with anxiety.

I’m still not feeling great, so I couldn’t drive. I had to ask Ethan to bring me over.”

ven though Cole had only run into Ethan downstairs, he quickly came up with a convenient excuse.

than remained silent, tacitly agreeing with the explanation.

lina stood frozen. She didn’t want to let them in, but she couldn’t exactly turn them away. As she hesitated, Jaxon appeared behind her.

What’s taking so long-

efore he could finish, Jaxon’s eyes locked with Ethan’s sharp, hawk-like gaze. The four of them stood there, staring each other down.

Since you’re already here, come on in.” Jaxon’s tone shifted instantly. He spoke with the air of a host, gesturing for Ethan and Cole to enter.

Jina hurried back into the nursery with Toby. She wanted to warn Mia so she could be prepared, but having just seen two strange men, Toby was tartled and began to whimper. Afraid he would wake Dex, she had to stay in the hallway to soothe him.

The 3,200-square-foot penthouse was huge, but with several men over six feet tall suddenly occupying the space, it felt crowded.

Ethan walked in, his gaze sweeping the room before landing on a pack of newborn diapers on the sofa.

Ethan, Cole-we’re all old friends. Treat this like your own home. Don’t be shy; have a seat. I’ll get you some juice. Is lemon juice okay?’ Jaxon asked.

Today seems like a good day for something sour, Jaxon thought, instinctively posturing against Ethan.

Cole set his gift down and looked between the two men. “Plain water is fine for me.” He paused, then added, ‘Give Ethan water, too.”

Oh, Jaxon drawled, his voice laced with boredom. He poured two glasses of warm water and sat down in a single armchair.

Ethan, thanks for taking care of Mia and the baby recently.” He struck first, desperate to gain the upper hand. ‘I’ll have to treat you to dinner sometime o pay you back.”
