Dexter looked a little resigned. "Sof Zayn's actions may seem irrational, but given the circumstances, it makes sense. After all, he isn't that young anymore, and having a baby didn't ceasy for him..." "Mia went through so much pain to give birth to that baby." Angela shot him a glare.
"You know, if you ever have a baby, you'll probably be an extremely protective mother," Dexter remarked, feeling both exasperated and amused.
As soon as he said that, both of them froze.
Angela felt a strange tightness in her chest, and for the first time, she didn't retort.

"What happened?" She stepped inside.
Mia didn't look too good. "I just fed him." Angela took Leo in her arms, gently cradled him, and rocked him to soothe his cries. At the stime, she locked the door.
Leo's soft, warm body rested in her arms. It felt both real and surreal at the stime.
Recalling Zayn's reluctant and defeated expression before they left, Angela couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration.
"What's wrong, Angela?" Mia asked.
Angela forced a smile. "It's nothing. Leo likes me. I'll calm him down." "Don't worry. I won't be soft-hearted," Mia said, trying to reassure Angela as if she'd sensed her concerns.
Angela's expression hardened. She let out a deep sigh before saying, "If you want a better future, just don't have any expectations from him. Do you understand?" Mia gave a bitter smile. "I know. He was never someone I could rely on. I think... I must have put faith in the wrong person." "Rest assured. As long as I'm here, no one can take Leo away," Angela promised, enunciating each word.

"Thank you, Mr. Bamford," Mia said, looking much better than before. Her entire being exuded a warm maternal air when she smiled.
"It's pretty good. Not only is this sweet and flavorful, but the meat is also tender," Angela commented, not even looking up as she ate several spoonfuls.
Dexter gazed at her quietly. "You've lost weight these past two days. Your jawline has becmore defined. You need to eat more." Angela nearly choked on her clam chowder. She shot him a glare, feeling that he was being oddly inappropriate, especially with the way he was looking at her.

"Don't worry. That won't happen." Dexter raised a brow as if he'd read her mind.
This time, Angela actually choked, coughing uncontrollably. Mia quickly handed her a tissue while Dexter remained amused, watching her with a teasing smirk.
To prevent further trouble, Angela Igel to stay had Joanne call Nigel to stay with them. The siblings-one stationed inside while the other kept watch outside-ensured Mia's safety.
