Chapter 16 Mommy, We Miss You So Much
As her little daughter looked at her, Mia’s heart almost melted, and she said softly, “One more month at most, then I’ll come to see you, okay?”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Anna’s eyes, but she still childishly agreed.
After her sister and mother finished talking, Ben, who had been sitting by the side, finally joined in, speaking with a bossy tone, “Are you in trouble over there? Do you need me to step in and help?”
Mia burst into laughter but knew her little man’s temperament, “Don’t worry, I can handle the problems here. If something really tricky comes up, I’ll ask for your help, okay?” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Ben hummed in acknowledgment, already a four-year-old little man, determined to take care of his mother and sister.
After some delightful chitchat with her two children, Mia reluctantly ended the video call.
No sooner had she hung up than Frank called, “Miss Clinton, Mr. Smith is out of the country on business. Our joint project will be temporarily taken over by Mike Hook, the deputy general manager from the Smith Group.”
”
Remembering the events of the previous night, Mia sneered, “In that case, we only need to send our deputy, Tim Lake.”
Frank sensed some tension between the two but simply agreed.
Having dealt with company affairs, there was another knock on Mia’s apartment door.
Just back in the country for the second day, and already it was so busy, Mia was rather speechless.
She opened the door, and, as expected, saw a furious David.
“That bastard Joe Smith!”
The thought of Joe taking Mia away right under his nose the previous night had David grinding his teeth, full of rage. The guards who had tried to stop him had all received a thorough dressing-down.
He carefully observed Mia’s expression, “He didn’t do anything. to you last night, did he?”
Mia’s smile faded slightly, “What could he do to me? Joe Smith is the high and mighty Mr. Smith.”
Whether it was the old her or the present Wendy, who wouldn’t comply with him?
What happened last night was nothing but his frustration at her change of attitude.
Seeing that Mia was fine, David finally exhaled in relief,
“Haven’t you seen today’s trending news? The news of Wendy’s pregnancy is all over the Internet. Joe has no choice but to marry her.”
As he showed his phone to Mia, he suddenly cursed, “Damn it! Where did this fake news come from?”
He quickly pocketed his phone, telling Mia, “Some idiots are spreading rumors online. Don’t look now; I’ll handle it.”
With that, he walked over to the window, frowning as he made a call.
Though David often teased her, he was the heir to the Johnson family, so why had he suddenly become so serious?
Mia pondered for a moment, then took out her phone to check.
On Twitter, #Wendy’s Pregnancy# was the top trending topic, followed by a big and bold red “Breaking” sign.
Close behind was another hashtag, #A Woman Surnamed White, the Mistress #, which was also gaining attention rapidly.
Mia furrowed her brow, clicking on this topic.
Apparently, the scene of Joe carrying her away the night before had been captured at a very crafty angle. Wendy could be seen in the background, clutching her stomach and looking forlorn as they left.
Although the photo didn’t show Mia’s face clearly, the blurry
side profile revealed enough for anyone paying close attention to recognize her.
