A few minutes earlier, after Jaxon Rivers had stepped away, only Ethan Hale and Nina Torres were left in the living room.
Ethan sat in the corner of the sofa, his long, powerful frame sinking into the soft cushions. He occasionally lifted his eyelids to glance toward the nursery where Dex was sleeping.
Ethan, do you have a second to talk on the balcony?”
Every time Nina saw Ethan, she never looked at him with anything but disdain. This was the first time she had spoken to him calmly and seriously.
Ethan seemed uninterested. “If you have something to say, say it here.”
It’s about Mia, Nina said, standing up. And it involves the Gallagher family.”
At that, Ethan’s gaze sharpened instantly.
They walked out onto the balcony, and Nina locked the sliding door behind them.
How much do you know about the Gallagher family’s business?” Nina leaned against the railing, staring at him with a solemn expression. Just what ind of situation is Mia in?”
Ethan’s gaze swept over the city of Everett, which was mostly bathed in sunlight. The image of the crowded, bustling streets below, with people noving like ants, was reflected in his dark eyes.
While I’m not entirely sure what happened internally within the Gallagher family, Mia’s situation is not optimistic.”
Nina’s face paled slightly. Even you can’t dig up the Gallaghers’ dirty laundry?”
It happened a long time ago, and it’s a family secret,” Ethan replied. “Even Marcus Gallagher hasn’t figured out exactly what’s going on yet.”
As a member of the Gallagher family, Marcus had been ‘robbed’ right under his own nose without even realizing it. Even with Ethan’s immense esources, it was impossible to uncover the truth behind those old secrets in such a short time.
Marcus Gallagher?” Nina whispered. “Who is he to them?”
The brother of the current head, the second son of the family.” Ethan shot her a glance. “You’ve seen the Orphanage Director.
fis tone was certain.
Jina nodded. “Why are you looking into the Gallagher family? Is it because of Mia? Do you… want to help her?”
than remained silent.
A dead silence filled the air.
before Nina could press him further, she caught Mia’s gaze through the glass from the living room.
We’ll talk later. Mia doesn’t know about the Gallagher situation yet. Don’t let anything slip.”
Vina dropped those words, unlocked the balcony door, and stepped back inside.
he walked over to Mia. “So, how’s Dex?”
He’s fine.” Mia shook her head, glancing at Ethan before asking, “What were you two talking about?”
Vina suddenly forced a laugh. “I was telling him to behave himself and stop coming around here so much. He’s ruining a perfectly good one-month elebration.”
The atmosphere was a hundred times worse than Nina had anticipated.
Even though Ethan hadn’t said a word, just having him sit there made it impossible for the mood to be cheerful. It was like everyone in the room owed
im eight million dollars.
Zane’s cries drifted from the nursery, and Mia hurried to prep a bottle. I’m going to make some formula.*
Isn’t your milk enough?” Nina followed her. “Why give him formula all of a sudden?”
There are too many people around, Mia said. “It’s not convenient to nurse.
