Early the next morning, Mia had been watching the situation downstairs. When Noah’s car left the house, Mia immediately went out to find her senior.

Senior had his day off today, so he was woken up early in the morning by Mia’s knocking on the door. He got out of bed in frustration, and when he opened the door, he saw Mia, who was fully dressed. “Mia, why are you here? What happened?” he asked as he hurriedly opened the door to let Mia in.

As soon as Mia walked in, she saw the senior’s sleepy face. She was embarrassed to disturb him so early in the morning, so she hesitated for a long time before telling him everything. In order to prevent the senior from becoming more agitated, Mia was selective about what she said.

However, the senior had known Mia for a long time, so how could he not guess what had happened? Hence, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and said angrily, “F*ck, you’re taking medicine now? Your condition isn’t good to begin with. With Noah’s strength… Let’s go and check first.”

Mia went to the hospital for a checkup. Fortunately, Mia and the baby were fine. Only then did they feel relieved.

The senior patted Mia’s shoulder. “You’re pregnant, so don’t get too emotional. It’s not worth it for that scumbag Noah.”

The doctor said angrily. Then, he paused and said hesitantly, “Mia, it’s the medicine that you’re taking now. If you take too much, it’ll harm your body. Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should think more about the baby… After all, even a vicious tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. You haven’t told Noah. How can you be sure that Noah won’t want it just based on Jenny’s one-sided statement?”

Mia shook her head silently. The doctor thought about how difficult it was to be a single mother, so he couldn’t help but continue to persuade her. “Mia, don’t keep everything to yourself. There are some things that should be fought over. Besides, the Old Master is there, so what are you afraid of?”

Mia began to whisper, “Noah doesn’t like me, so he won’t like my baby. I don’t want to make Noah more disdainful of me because of his grandfather.”

The doctor paused and fell silent.

At first, the doctor thought that Mia liked Noah so much. In addition, after so many years, and now that she was pregnant, she might as well stay by Noah’s side and get a divorce after the baby was born successfully.

But now that he saw Mia’s condition, he started to waver.

It seemed like Noah was really in the wrong. As a friend, he could not persuade her anymore. He had to do his best to help Mia.

After the shock, Mia remembered the doctor’s words, that her emotions shouldn’t fluctuate too much.

At the same time, she tried her best to avoid meeting Noah. In addition, his grandfather’s health hadn’t been very good recently, so Mia often stayed over at the old man’s ward.

On the other side, Noah had been extremely busy recently. Every day, he would end work and return home very late.

As the corporation had recently encountered some problems with a collaboration product overseas, the collaborators changed their minds at the last minute and wanted to change their partners. However, Noah’s corporation had been following this plan for a long time. If they changed it at the last minute, the corporation’s benefits would be greatly affected. Furthermore, this project was one that Noah had been very concerned about ever since he took control of the Reynolds Corporation.

The last time Noah took some time to bring Mia overseas, it was to solve this problem, and he personally went to meet his partners to express his sincerity before successfully negotiating the cooperation. The other was to ease the relationship with Mia.

Back when he was overseas, the problem was almost resolved. However, because of the sudden problem with the spokesperson, there was a scandal. If he did not change the spokesperson, the product would definitely be greatly affected. Furthermore, overseas partners had been urging the product to be released, so Noah had been very busy recently.

After working for a week and settling his business partner and new spokesperson, Noah finally had some free time. He then realized that he had not seen Mia for almost a week. Mia seemed to be avoiding him.

Noah’s intuition told him that it wasn’t a solution for Mia to keep avoiding him like this, but he didn’t have the right time or way to talk to Mia right now.

Hence, the two of them continued to delay until Noah attended another social event.

At around eight in the evening, Noah and his business partners’ party was arranged to be held in the suite on the first floor of the top hotel in the city, Junyuan Hotel. There were quite a lot of people attending. This time, it was also to introduce the new spokesperson for the project to both parties.

At the same time, this was also the first time that overseas partners brought a team to the country to check on the progress of the project. At the same time, they would increase the investment funds for the project. Hence, Noah placed great importance on this banquet.

After three rounds of drinks, they started to get back on track. When both parties started to discuss the project details, Noah looked at the secretary beside him and signaled for the secretary to pass him the document..
