Chapter 76 Mia's Last Stand

• "Is this the way it's going to be, Ethan? You're going to let her win?" Mia's voice cut through the air with a sharp, strained tone. Standing before him, arms crossed, her frustration was about to boil over. I felt her desperation, but this was not my battle.
• Ethan wouldn't look at her at first, his jaw clenched, hands clenching the counter in front of him. "Mia, this isn't a game. There's nothing to win."
• "Then why do I feel like I'm losing you?" She stepped forward, her eyes searching his, but Ethan wasn't giving her an inch. He stood tall, muscles coiled with tension as if he was holding back the words that wanted to spill out.
