As Mia listened to these words, she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to get up and leave. Opening her eyes, Mia wondered blankly what Noah meant. Was he trying to make her more aware of her position? Or did he want her to know that Noah actually didn’t care about her at all?
But I know all this, Mia thought. I always knew.
Why did you have to rub salt on my wound? I’ve been “healing” for a long time. Can you stop stabbing my wound? I have feelings too. Mia thought sadly. Do I have to be so petty and sad just because I like you?
The air around them seemed to thin, and the booth felt unbearably stuffy. Mia felt like she couldn’t breathe. She really couldn’t.
Beside her, Noah noticed that Mia had been trembling, as if she hadn’t slept very well. Just as he was about to go over and take a look at her, Mia suddenly sat up and didn’t even care that Noah’s clothes had fallen off.
Mia only raised a hand to cover her face and said in a low voice, “I’ll go out for a while.”
Before Noah could say anything, Mia had taken a few steps out of the booth.
The boss at the side seemed to be enjoying the show. “I couldn’t tell that your wife has a bad temper.”
Thinking about the way Mia had looked when she left made Noah uneasy and irritated. “It’s been happening a lot lately. I don’t know what’s up her butt.”
“Let me tell you. You can just leave her hanging for a while. When she runs out of money, she will naturally come back to coax you,” the boss said to Noah with an experienced look.
At this moment, even if Noah was slightly tipsy, when he heard this, he completely hated this boss. However, because there were a lot of people in the room now, he could not fall out with him. Hence, he secretly noted this company and prepared to tell his secretary that he would never work with them again.
Not far away, Jack had been observing Mia. When he saw Mia get up and hurriedly leave the room, he was a little worried, so he hurriedly followed her when no one noticed him.
Mia didn’t walk too far. The bar’s environment was unfamiliar to her and she hadn’t been here before. She didn’t dare walk around, but she found a window seat in the hallway. She reached out and opened the window, then a gust of cold wind blew in. Mia shivered and felt a little more awake, but she was still sad.
Hearing footsteps, Mia hurriedly wiped her eyes and turned to see Jack.
From a distance, Jack could see Mia standing by the window and wiping her eyes. He was just afraid Mia would be upset, so he never went up. It was just that the weather was cold, and it was inevitable that she would catch a cold if she stood at the window for too long. So, he walked up to her.
Jack looked into Mia’s red eyes but didn’t expose her. He just silently took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Mia.
Mia shook her head and did not take it. This kind of thing was too personal. Moreover, if Mia took this handkerchief, she would definitely have to wash it before returning it to Jack after using it. However, she did not bring her handbag with her. She was afraid that Noah would misunderstand when she took it back to her room later, so in these few seconds, Mia rejected Jack’s good intentions.
Seeing that Mia wasn’t taking it, Jack realized it. He hastily apologized and put the handkerchief back in his pocket.
After hesitating for a while, she couldn’t help but say, “Mia… you, if you need help, you can really tell me.”
Mia knew Jack meant well. From the moment they met, Jack had always been this kind of warm-hearted person. He wanted to help whenever he saw something bad happen to her, but this was a matter between herself and Noah after all. Besides, she was pregnant now, so it wouldn’t be appropriate no matter what. So she shook her head and refused. “Thank you. I can settle this myself.”

When Jack saw Mia shake her head, he knew the result, but he couldn’t help but sigh and say, “I know as an outsider, it’s not appropriate for me to interfere in your family matters, but as your former senior, I still want to advise you. You’re still very young, and you have many choices in life. I really hopes to see the energetic Mia from back in school.”
After listening to her senior’s words, Mia had a flashback of her university days. At that time, she was indeed outgoing, but because of her ignorance and fearlessness, she thought that she could be together with Noah for a long time and develop feelings for him. In the end, she was hurt and left dejectedly.
“Since you know not to interfere in other people’s affairs, you should stay away from other people’s wives.”
The more Noah thought about it in the room, the more worried he was about Mia. The last time he was at the hotel, she said that she was going to the washroom, but she did not come back for a long time. This time, they were at the bar. If he got lost again, it would be a lot scarier. Noah did not dare to think about it anymore. He hurriedly got up and wanted to go out. The boss beside him was not tactful and wanted to pull Noah over for a few more drinks, but Noah shook him off.
“Let go. Go do what you have to do. If your words reach your wife today, don’t blame me,” Noah said angrily..
