The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 215

Mia's POV

"Where to, Mrs. Branson?" the driver asked.

"Branson Industries, please," I replied, making a sudden decision.

The gleaming skyscraper of Branson Industries dominated the Manhattan skyline. I'd spent three years of my life working here before becoming Mrs. Branson.

"Mrs. Branson! What a lovely surprise," Linda, Kyle's longtime executive assistant, exclaimed when I stepped off the elevator at the executive floor. Her eyes immediately went to the twin car seats. "And the babies! Oh, they're beautiful."

"Thank you, Linda," I smiled politely. "Who is in charge of the entire company now?"

“Mr. Morton will help make some decisions. I think Mr. Branson and he have come to some kind of agreement. Mr. Morton is here today.” Linda said.

"Then I was hoping to speak with Morton, if he's available." I said.

"Let me check right away." She bustled off, returning moments later. "He can see you now. Let me help you with one of those carriers."

Morton rose when we entered, his perpetually serious expression softening slightly at the sight of the twins.

"Mia. This is unexpected," he said, coming around his desk to help settle the carriers. "How are Alexander and Ethan doing?"

"They're making good progress," I replied. "The doctors are pleased."

He nodded, studying me carefully. "And you? How are you?"

"I've been better." I met his gaze directly. "I went to Kyle's house today."

Morton's expression didn't change, but something flickered in his eyes. He knew why I was here.

"I need to know, Morton. Where is he?"

He sighed, gesturing for me to sit. "Mia—"

"Don't tell me you don't know," I interrupted. "I know you're in contact with him. Kyle wouldn't leave his company without some form of communication plan."

Morton leaned back in his chair, considering his words carefully. "We have a secure communication channel for urgent business matters only. I don't know his physical location."

"Then tell him I was looking for him," I said. "Tell him I saw the nursery. Tell him his sons came home from the hospital yesterday, and he should have been there."

Morton's expression turned sympathetic. "I'll pass along your message, but Mia... Kyle has made his decision very clear."

"Why?" I demanded, my voice rising slightly. "What possible reason could he have for abandoning his children?"

"I can't speak to his motivations," Morton replied diplomatically.

Ethan stirred in his carrier, making small fussing sounds. I automatically reached to soothe him, running a gentle finger along his cheek until he settled again.
