Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 150

The child was so well-behaved and quiet, always clinging to Mila, completely uninterested in anyone else's attempts to engage him.

That evening, Eugene went to the police station to handle some follow-up matters, leaving Miranda as the only one in the hospital room with Mila.

Once the child fell asleep, Miranda couldn't help but express her frustration. "This kid is so attached to you! I tried everything to make him smile, but he wouldn't even budge. Is his heart made of stone?"

Mila chuckled, half amused and half exasperated. "Don't worry, he's just a bit shy around strangers."

Miranda knew this, of course. She was just envious—she wanted to cuddle the adorable little boy herself.

...

The night passed without incident.

Mila woke up early, got the child ready, and had breakfast. She noticed that Miranda kept glancing over with an expression that suggested she had something on her mind.

"What's up?" Mila asked after finishing her meal and taking her medication.

"Nothing much," Miranda hesitated, shaking her head.

Mila let it go, knowing Miranda couldn't keep a secret for long. Sure enough, within half a minute, Miranda sidled over.

"I need to tell you something, but promise you won't get mad."

Mila sighed internally. If Miranda was this hesitant, it had to involve her. What now?

She first made sure the child was settled, softly instructing him to play with some toys on the other bed. Then she turned to Miranda, "Go ahead. I can handle it."

Miranda didn't speak, instead handing Mila her phone. On the screen was a tabloid headline in bold print:

**"Rumored Alliance Between the Summer and Montgomery Families?"**
