CHAPTER 16 Are You Pregnant?

  Sebastian

  New York

  When Mia said it was her ex-husband Gavin, something inside me snapped. It was as if a protective instinct I hadn't fully realized I possessed had suddenly awakened. My protective tendencies surged to the surface, and I couldn't stand by and let anyone hurt her, especially not this obnoxious ex of hers.

  I quickly exited the car and opened the door for Mia, sensing her nervousness. My hand instinctively found its place on the small of her back, a silent gesture of support and reassurance. I half-expected her to remove my hand, but to my surprise, she left it there, as if seeking the comfort it offered.

  Together, we approached Gavin, who stood there with fury in his eyes, sizing us up with a suspicious gaze. "Mia, are you alright?" he asked, his voice a mix of concern and anger.

  Mia's response was curt and confident. "I'm perfectly fine, Gavin."
