No need. Let Mia repay that favor herself.”

axon could try to pierce Ethan’s heart with vague implications, but when it came down to the facts, he had no standing to repay a debt on Mia’s behalf. He was instantly outmatched and had no comeback.

Jaxon, does your family have business in Everett?” Cole asked, breaking the invisible tension.

axon shook his head. “No.”

Then what are you doing here? When do you plan on going back?” Cole pressed.

axon suddenly smiled and glanced toward the nursery. I’m here for Mia. I’ll go back whenever things are stable on her end.

The statement was loaded with ambiguity. Ever since he had recruited Mia to Riverside, the child in her belly had been branded with his name in the yes of many. It was only a matter of time before someone from the Rivers family acknowledged it.

This was his way of telling Ethan: This child is mine.”

Ethan’s eyes darkened, his sharp features tightening with tension. Cole hadn’t expected his questions to make the atmosphere even worse.

Are the guests all here?”

Clara had finished preparing lunch and stepped out of the kitchen. She didn’t see Mia or Nina, and she didn’t recognize Ethan or Cole.

She turned to Jaxon. ‘Sir, when should we serve the meal?”

Let’s wait for Mia to come out,” Jaxon replied, sounding more like the man of the house than ever.

Clara nodded and returned to the kitchen.

n the nursery, the little guy had finished nursing and wanted to sleep. In that half-awake state, he would whimper the second Mia moved.

Mia was forced to lie beside him. She could hear the muffled sounds of conversation outside-mostly men’s voices. She figured Cole had arrived.

A moment later, Dex finally drifted off. Mia got up and headed into the ensuite bathroom to change. During the lactation period, there was always a aint scent of milk on her; she wanted to change into something fresh before seeing guests so as not to be impolite.

he had just pulled her shirt off when she heard Dex whimpering again.

Don’t cry, baby. Mommy’s coming, Mia called out through the door, quickly trying to pull on her clean clothes.

But the more she hurried, the harder it was to clip the buttons on her nursing bra.

Be good, Dex! Mommy’s here!”

fer movements were fast but clumsy. She tried several more times before finally getting it. She heard footsteps outside and someone entering the oom. Dex’s crying stopped instantly.

It must be Nina, Mia thought.

she finished the clips and grabbed an open-front cardigan. As she walked out, she said, ‘I’ll take him. You go check on Toby…”

The open cardigan revealed her stunning figure. The exquisite curves made her waist look even narrower than usual. Her body had filled out considerably during her postpartum recovery, and her cheeks were flushed from the rush. She looked like a rose in full bloom, practically begging to >e plucked.

Mia’s voice died in her throat.

She wasn’t looking at Nina. She was staring into Ethan’s dark, shimmering eyes in the dim light of the room.

His gaze dropped from her face, tracing her figure downward.
