Chapter 664
That idea put Dominic off. He didn’t want Mia to meet Timothy because he was worried about the past repeating itself.
Eva comforted Dominic and then called Mia.
The line got through immediately.
“Hello, Eva. What’s up?”
“No biggie. I’m just checking in on you. How are things going on over at Xanier Island? Are you adapting well? I heard that the airport is closed because of the heavy pour.”
“Yup. The rain is different from the usual one. We’ll need to extend our stay for several days. We’ll return when the rain stops, and it’s safe to fly.”
Mia had a nagging feeling that there was something unusual about Eva’s sudden call. She couldn’t help but wonder if Eva had somehow learned that Caleb was on Xanier Island.
All these years, her family had avoided mentioning her ex–husband to spare her feelings.
She had assumed Eva’s call was to urge her to return home promptly, but as it turned out, it was just a casual conversation.
After Mia ended the call, a suspicion formed in her mind–perhaps Wade had reported something to her family.
Thankfully, the airport on Xanier Island was closed due to the bad weather. Even if her brothers wanted to come, they couldn’t.
Meanwhile, she should straighten things out with her ex–husband in the meantime.
Mia walked toward Ginger, who was having fun. “Ginger.”
“Mommy!” Ginger threw herself in Mia’s arms like a happy bunny. Sweat plastered her fringe to her forehead.
“Did you have fun?” Mia wiped her face with a napkin.
Ginger nodded. “Mommy, I pranked him too. It was a success!”
Mia giggled. “Go over there and take a break. I have something to talk to him.”
Ginger heeded Mia’s instruction and left. Now that there was a better candidate to be her father, she didn’t care what Mia would say to Caleb. She wished for the discussion to go awry.

That way, she could have another father without guilt!
Mia approached Caleb, her voice steely. “Can we talk?”
“A–About what?” He scanned his surroundings, but there was no sight of Timothy. Caleb was surprised that breakfast had ended so soon.
