The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 109 It's Catherine
Mia's POVDust motes that danced in the air like tiny stars when I woke up. I watched them for a moment, mesmerized by their silent ballet, before my phone's alarm shattered the peaceful moment."Alright," I muttered, reaching to silence it.My prenatal appointment was in two hours. The last one before Paris. I should have been excited. Dr. Matthews had promised detailed ultrasound images today.Gas shifted at my feet, his warm weight a comforting presence. He sensed my mood, as he always did, and crawled up beside me to rest his head on my growing belly."Thanks, buddy," I whispered, scratching behind his ears. "Always looking out for us, aren't you?"My phone buzzed with an incoming text. Scarlett, of course.Good luck at your appointment today! Tell those twins their fabulous Aunt Scarlett says NO growing too big before Paris! I have outfits planned!I smiled, typing back: I'll relay the message, but they don't seem to listen to anyone these days.Getting out of bed had become a st

Mia's POV"Catherine," I managed, suddenly self-conscious about my casual attire and still-damp hair. "This is unexpected.""I should have called first," she acknowledged, setting her handbag on the entry table. "But I was in the neighborhood for an early meeting, and I thought..." She hesitated. "I hope I'm not intruding.""Not at all," Mom said smoothly, always the gracious hostess. "Would you like some coffee? Tea?"I knew my mother has a complicated attitude towards Catherine. She had heard all the things I have told her about Catherine. She knew that Catherine is kind to me. But mom also can be uncontrollably angry about everything to do with Kyle."Tea would be lovely," Catherine smiled, moving further into the apartment.Her gaze swept over our modest living room—so different from the palatial spaces she was used to. If she found it lacking, she gave no indication."Sarah, your home is charming," she said, settling onto our couch. "So warm and inviting.""Thank you," Mom replie

Mia's POVCatherine's car was exactly what I expected—a sleek silver Mercedes with butter-soft leather seats and that particular new car smell that spoke of luxury and privilege. She opened the passenger door for me, then waited patiently as I maneuvered my pregnant bulk into the seat."Comfortable?" she asked once I was settled."Very," I confirmed. The seat seemed to mold itself to my body, supporting my back in exactly the right places. "This car is incredible.""One of the perks of getting older," she smiled, sliding into the driver's seat with effortless grace. "You stop feeling guilty about indulging in comforts."She drove with the same precise competence Kyle had inherited, navigating through morning traffic with calm efficiency. I noticed she took a slightly longer route than necessary, avoiding the bumpy section of Riverside Drive that always aggravated my back."You know the area well," I commented as she smoothly changed lanes to avoid a delivery truck."I've lived in this

Mia's POV"I thought Kyle told you," I said, suddenly uncertain. "About what happened that day.""He told me you fell," Catherine said carefully, her voice tight with controlled emotion. "That there were complications, and you lost the babies.""That's what he believed," I clarified, not wanting to paint Kyle as deliberately deceptive. "Taylor convinced him I attacked her, that I fell during the altercation. But she pushed me, Catherine. Deliberately."The look that crossed Catherine's face then was unlike anything I'd seen from her before, her elegant features turned into something almost frightening.Before I could respond, the door opened, and Dr. Matthews swept in with her usual brisk energy. She paused briefly, noticing the charged atmosphere."Everything alright in here?" she asked, glancing between us."Fine," I managed, trying to arrange my features into something resembling normal. "Dr. Matthews, this is Catherine Branson.""Mrs. Branson," Dr. Matthews nodded, professional bu

Mia's POVMrs 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

Mia's POV"Are you absolutely certain you packed your compression socks?" Mom asked, folding another cardigan I definitely hadn't requested and tucking it into the corner of my already overstuffed suitcase."Yes, Mom. They're in my carry-on, along with the medical information Dr. Matthews printed out, extra prenatal vitamins, and the list of approved medications." I stifled a yawn as I zipped my toiletry bag. Six in the morning was cruel, even with the prospect of Paris on the horizon.The twins seemed to agree, unusually quiet this morning after keeping me awake half the night with their gymnastics routine. I rested my hand on my growing bump, now impossible to hide at six months pregnant. "You guys better behave on this flight," I murmured.Mom glanced up, her eyes softening. "Talking to my grandsons already?""Someone needs to establish the ground rules early." I smiled, watching her methodically reorganize my haphazard packing job. She'd been up since four, making me breakfast, dou

Mia's POVNate emerged from the driver's side, casual in jeans and a light sweater, his smile warm as he approached. Behind him, excited barking emanated from his vehicle—Einstein, Schrödinger, and Marie Curie clearly sensing their friend's presence."Morning, everyone," Nate greeted, nodding to the assembled group.Gas could barely contain himself, prancing between my legs and the SUV, his entire body vibrating with excitement. So much for tearful goodbyes—he was clearly ready to abandon me for his canine companions without a backward glance."Traitor," I told him, though I couldn't help smiling at his enthusiasm.Nate laughed. "Don't take it personally. Einstein brought his favorite tennis ball as a welcome gift.""I see where his loyalties lie," I said, crouching awkwardly to give Gas a final scratch. "Be good, okay? No teaching the others your bad habits."In response, Gas licked my face and then promptly trotted over to Nate, looking up expectantly as if to say 'let's go already!

Mia's POVThe interior of the private jet redefined luxury—cream leather seats, polished wood details, and what appeared to be a fully stocked bar at the rear. Scarlett immediately made herself at home, kicking off her heels and curling into one of the oversized chairs."Isn't it fabulous?" she grinned at my wide-eyed expression. "Wait until you see the bedroom in the back.""There's a bedroom?" I couldn't help the disbelief in my voice."Of course there's a bedroom," she laughed. "Where else would we nap during a seven-hour flight?"Morton directed me to what was clearly the most comfortable seat, already equipped with extra pillows, a cashmere blanket, and what appeared to be a specialized pregnancy support belt for long flights."Pressure will stabilize quickly after takeoff," he explained, helping me get settled. "If you experience any discomfort at all, please let us know immediately. We have direct communication with air traffic control and can make an emergency landing if neces

Mia's POVA knock at the door interrupted our banter. Morton poked his head in, looking slightly apologetic."Dinner's almost ready," he announced. "Nothing fancy, but there's roast beef, potatoes, and some vegetables. Mia, I assumed you'd stay? There's plenty."Gas perked up at the mention of food, his tail wagging hopefully."Don't worry, buddy," Morton assured him. "I've got something for you too."By the time we finished eating, however, Scarlett was visibly flagging, the brief burst of energy from leaving her sickbed rapidly depleting."You should get back to bed," I said gently, noting the renewed flush in her cheeks. "Your fever's coming back."She nodded, too tired to argue. "I hate being sick. It's so boring.""It's your body telling you to slow down," Morton advised, already moving to help her up. "Even Scarlett Wallace-Morton needs rest occasionally.""Wallace-Morton," she repeated, leaning heavily against his arm. "That still

Chapter 178Mia's POVI took her hand, squeezing gently. "Mom sent chicken soup. The magical cure-all kind that she used to make when we were kids.""Your mom is a saint," Scarlett sighed, sinking back into her pillows. "Morton's been amazing, but he's clueless about the whole sick day thing. Keeps asking if I need a specialist or if we should go to the emergency room.""He's worried about you," I observed.Something soft flickered across her fever-flushed face. "Yeah. It's... nice."This was new territory for Scarlett, who had always fiercely maintained her independence."When did you start feeling sick?" I asked, changing the subject before she could retreat behind her usual sardonic defenses."Yesterday afternoon," she admitted. "Just a headache at first. I thought it was from staring at spreadsheets too long. Then around dinner time, I started feeling achy all over. By bedtime, Morton said I was burning up.""And you didn't call
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 177 Priorities
Mia's POV"Scarlett's sick?" I sat up straighter, worry immediately replacing my fatigue."She came down with something last night. Started with a headache, then progressed to a fever this morning." There was genuine concern in Morton's voice."Is she okay? Did you call a doctor?" The questions tumbled out of me in rapid succession."Dr. Klein saw her this morning. Nothing serious. But you know Scarlett—she's not exactly a model patient."I could almost see her, red hair wild against her pillows, indignantly refusing medicine and insisting she was perfectly fine while burning up with fever. That was Scarlett, stubborn to the core."I want to talk to her," I said, already calculating how quickly I could get to their place."She's resting now," Morton replied. "Finally convinced her to take something for the fever and she dozed off about twenty minutes ago.""Tell her to call me when she wakes up, please?""Of course. She actually asked me to call you earlier, then changed her mind. Sai
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 176 The logical choice
Mia's POV"So we'd be each other's beards? Hiding from your mother and my ex-husband?"His lips quirked into a small smile. "Something like that, yes."I considered it for a moment. There was a certain appeal to the idea.There was a small part of me that liked the idea of Kyle seeing me move on with my life. Realizing that his romantic grand gestures wouldn't automatically win me back, that I had other options, and that I wouldn't just sit around waiting for him."What about when the twins are born? We couldn't maintain this charade indefinitely. And what if you meet someone you actually want to date?""We'll cross those bridges when we come to them," Thomas said with a casual confidence I envied. "For now, it would just be a few weeks of strategic public appearances to establish a counter-narrative."I looked at him intently for the first time. Thomas had always presented himself as a classic, clean-cut, handsome man. He was tall and fit, with strong features that were at the same t
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 175 A New Boyfriend
**Mia's POV**Thomas is really here.My goodness, we haven't seen each other since we got back from Paris.He's dressed casually but expensively in dark jeans and a charcoal sweater that highlights his athletic build. His dark blonde hair is slightly windblown, and he's wearing sunglasses despite the overcast day—probably an attempt at discretion."I told you," Javier murmurs, gesturing toward Thomas. "Your security detail verified his identity but wouldn't let him enter the site without your permission."I sigh, unsure whether to be touched by Thomas's unexpected appearance or annoyed at yet another complication in an already chaotic day."Thank you for everything, Javier," I say, handing him the annotated plans I've been marking up during our inspection. "Make these adjustments and send the revised specifications to my office by tomorrow.""Of course, Ms. Williams." He accepts the documents with a professional nod. "I'll have someone escort
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 174 Thomas is here?
**Mia's POV**His expression darkens. "I'm not sure. Let me check." He speaks rapidly into his walkie-talkie, listening to the response with a deepening frown."Reporters," he says finally, turning back to me. "Three or four of them, trying to get onto the site. They're claiming they're doing a piece on innovative architectural design, but..."He doesn't need to finish the sentence. We both know they're not here for the architecture."My apologies, Ms. Williams," he continues. "This is a closed site. They shouldn't be able to get in, but perhaps we should continue our inspection indoors."I consider the suggestion. Part of me wants to retreat, to avoid the confrontation. But another part—the part that's increasingly tired of being pushed around—rebels against the idea."No," I decide firmly. "This is my project, my site visit. I won't be chased away."Javier looks surprised but nods. "As you wish. I'll have security reinfo
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 173 The Children's Center
**Mia's POV**The next morning I wake feeling more refreshed than I expected, the long sleep having restored some of my depleted energy reserves.Gas greets me with his usual enthusiasm, his entire body wiggling with joy as if he hasn't seen me in weeks rather than hours. The simple, uncomplicated love of a dog is exactly what I need this morning."Gas baby," I murmur, scratching behind his ears, "Mommy loves you too."In the kitchen, Mom is already preparing breakfast, the scent of coffee and toast filling the air. "You're up early," she comments, eyeing me with mild surprise. "Feeling better?""Much," I confirm, accepting the glass of orange juice she offers. "And I've been thinking. I need to get out of this apartment."She frowns."I can't hide forever, Mom," I point out. "Besides, I have a site inspection scheduled at the children's center today. It's important.""I could call and reschedule," Mom suggests. "I'm sure they'd understand."
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 172 We don't have a 'family,' Kyle.
**Mia's POV**Kyle stands in the hallway, looking simultaneously immaculate and disheveled. His gray eyes are intense, almost feverish as they lock onto mine."Mia," he says, my name a breath of relief on his lips."Come," I inform him coolly, stepping back to allow him entry. "I'm not feeling well, and I need to rest. So spit it out."He enters cautiously, his gaze sweeping over me with an assessment that's both professional and intimately familiar. "You look pale. Have you eaten today?"The question irritates me more than it should. "My eating habits aren't your concern, Kyle," I reply, closing the door behind him. He moves into the living room but remains standing. "You've seen the press conference," he says. "The entire world has seen the press conference," I counter. A muscle ticks in his jaw. "It wasn't a publicity stunt, Mia.""Oh?" I raise an eyebrow. "Then what would you call it? A spontaneous declaration of undying love? In front of cameras, reporters, the entire busine
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 171 Self-Performance
**Mia's POV**Fury doesn't begin to describe what I'm feeling. The media is going to be all over this. They're going to be all over me.Thanks for Kyle Branson's grand gesture, apparently.I tries to calm myself down , taking a deep breath. Getting worked up isn't good for the twins. Dr. Matthews would have my head if my blood pressure skyrocketed again."I need to call him," I decide suddenly. "Right now.""Mia—" Scarlett begins, but I've already ended our call.My fingers move on autopilot, pulling up Kyle's contact information. His newest number, the "secure" one he texted me after his previous phone was compromised. I hit dial before I can talk myself out of it.The line rings once, twice, and I rehearse the blistering tirade I'm about to unleash. How dare he hijack our carefully worded statement with this self-indulgent performance? Three rings, four. Maybe he's still in the press conference. Maybe he's being mobbed by journalists demanding more details.I hang up before the ca
