Mia's POV

Mrs Chen's text.

It was unusual enough to make me check it immediately.

I've left a package for you at the service entrance. Some things that might help with your questions about the past. Be careful, Mia.

The cryptic message sent a chill through me. I'd almost forgotten about my investigation into the kidnapping, into James and Mrs. Chen's connection to it all.

"Everything alright?" Catherine asked, noticing my expression.

"Yes," I said, tucking my phone away. "Just a message from Mrs. Chen."

"Kyle's housekeeper?" Catherine raised an eyebrow. "I didn't realize you still kept in touch."

"She was kind to me during...everything," I explained vaguely. "We check in occasionally."

Catherine nodded, not pressing further, though I could sense her curiosity. The silence between us was comfortable as we continued through the city streets, each lost in our own thoughts.

"What will you tell Kyle?" I asked suddenly. "About today?"

Catherine considered this, her expression thoughtful. "W

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 307 I don't want you to talk to him

    Mia's POVI stood in my kitchen, phone pressed to my ear, listening to Thomas's apologetic voice explaining that his Chicago meetings had been extended another day."I'm sorry, Mia," his voice crackled through the speaker, the connection spotty. " I won't be back until tomorrow evening.""It's fine," I said. "These things happen.""Are you sure?"I glanced toward the living room where Alexander and Ethan were building an elaborate fort out of couch cushions, their voices a constant stream of excited chatter about structural engineering and optimal pillow placement."Just a long day," I said. "when you get back, we can talk."After we hung up, I ordered Thai food from our favorite place down the street, requesting extra spice on my pad thai. I needed something that would burn away the lingering taste of anger.For the boys, I made their usual favorites—grilled cheese sandwiches cut into perfect triangles and apple slices arranged just the way they liked them."Mama, what's that smell?"

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 306 We found balloons

    Mia's POV"Nonsense!" Victoria said, her voice cracking slightly. "You're being arrogant, aren't you? The Field family won't let you off that easily!"But her tone lacked the vicious confidence she'd wielded at the cruise dinner just days earlier.I'm curious—it seems like the bad guys aren't doing so well lately."Mind your own business, Victoria!" I snapped, my grip on her collar tightening. "If you really get into a scandal, do you think Taylor will help you? She even abandoned her own parents."Victoria's face went pale. I released her suddenly, and she stumbled backward against the car door."Mommy!"Madison's small voice cut through the tension like a knife. She had somehow managed to open the car door and was scrambling out, her eyes filled with tears that made tracks down her pale cheeks."Please don't hurt my mommy!" Madison begged.I softened my voice, crouching down to Madison's eye level. "Sweet girl, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just talking to your mommy about some im

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 305 Get. Out. Of. The. Car.

    Mia's POV"Mom, look!" Alexander rushed over first, holding a cute cupcake decorated with rainbow sprinkles and what appeared to be a lopsided smiley face made of chocolate chips.His gray eyes sparkled with pride as he held up his creation, completely oblivious to the frosting smeared across his cheek and the flour dusting his dark hair. The cupcake was slightly crooked, but his beam of accomplishment could have powered the entire city block."Look, Mom!" Ethan appeared beside his brother, more carefully cradling his own small cake. His creation was characteristically precise—vanilla cupcake with methodically applied chocolate frosting in perfect swirls, topped with exactly six rainbow sprinkles arranged in a symmetrical pattern."These are incredible," I said, crouching down to their level and accepting Alexander's enthusiastic offering. The cupcake was still warm, the frosting slightly melted from his small hands. I took a careful bite. "This is definitely the best cupcake I've eve

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 304 Mia, what if Kyle had a reason?

    Mia"Thomas," I said, my voice coming out rougher than I intended.He looked up from where he was plating our dinner, his face immediately concerned. "What's wrong?""Are you preparing to propose to me?"The sound rolled around like sandpaper on glass.For a moment, neither of us moved. The candles flickered, casting dancing shadows across his face, and I could hear the distant sound of traffic through my apartment windows.I swallowed the taste of alcohol in my mouth—no, wait, I hadn't been drinking. That metallic taste was pure anxiety.Thomas froze for a moment, then turned to look at me fully.I could already see the answer in his eyes before he spoke. This was hard.The salmon on our plates was still steaming, the herb crust golden and perfect. The wild rice gleamed under the candlelight.I took a deep breath. "Thomas—""Don't say it, Mia," he interrupted, crossing the small distance between us in two quick strides. His lips found mine before I could finish the thought, desperat

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 303 Something special

    Mia's POVI looked at the flowers that had been delivered.White gardenias mixed with deep purple irises, wrapped in kraft paper with a simple silk ribbon. Not the typical roses or lilies that most men defaulted to. "No card?" I asked Camille, who was hovering in my doorway with obvious curiosity."None that I could find," she said, stepping closer to examine the arrangement. "But they're gorgeous. Very sophisticated choice."I lifted the bouquet, breathing in the sweet. The smell transported me to the summer evenings, honeysuckle climbing over garden walls.I knew it had to be Thomas.He was the only person who would choose something so thoughtful.I placed the flowers on the windowsill where the afternoon light would catch them. The purple irises seemed to glow, their color shifting as clouds moved across the sun outside.Then I continued working.The residential renovation I was designing had been challenging me for weeks, but today something had clicked. I pulled up the original

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 302 How many husbands do you have?

    Mia's POV"Mom, can I have some coffee?" Alexander asked me during breakfast.I paused mid-sip, looking at my four-year-old son who was sitting across from me at our kitchen table. Ethan was beside him, methodically cutting his pancakes into precise squares, but I could tell he was listening to every word of this conversation."Children shouldn't drink coffee, sweetheart," I said, setting my mug down carefully.Alexander's face immediately scrunched up in that expression he got when he thought adults were being unreasonable. "But why? You drink it every morning.""Because coffee has caffeine, and caffeine isn't good for growing boys," I explained.Alexander clearly wasn't satisfied with that answer. He crossed his small arms. "That sounds like one of those excuses adults make when they don't want to explain the real reason."Ethan looked up from his geometric pancake arrangement. "Alexander's right, Mama. You always tell us to be curious and ask questions, but then sometimes you give u
