Chapter 241

Maya’s expression shifted uncomfortably upon hearing the question.

“Mrs. Barrett went to look for Tim,” she replied. For some inexplicable reason, she had a sinking

feeling.

Just then, Sharon returned with a puzzled look. “How odd. I can’t get in touch with Tim on his phone,

and Heath is also unresponsive.”

Shelly impulsively exclaimed, “On such an important day, do you think Tim might be considering

running away from the wedding?”

The mention of “running away” made Maya

Iv uneasy

She hastily took out her phone to call Timothy, but it repeatedly displayed “no answer” on the other end.

A profound sense of panic swept over her.

“It’s impossible. Tim was just here a moment ago. How could he suddenly change his mind and leave?

There must be something holding him back.”

Sensing the tension, Sharon tried to diffuse the situation. “I agree. Tim must be caught up with

something. He was with me just a while ago.”

Upon realizing her earlier comment was insensitive, Shelly swiftly added, “Yes, Timothy seems to be

quite busy. There might be an urgent matter causing a delay. Shall we give it a little more time?

Mustering a smile, Maya addressed Shelly and Sharon. “Alright, everyone, please take your seats.

I’ll go touch up my makeup.”

Maya devised a reason to excuse herself and briskly directed Blake, “Where’s Timothy? Assign

someone to track him down. After all, it’s not a large space.”

“Understood. I’ll proceed immediately.”

Maya remained in place, her eyelid twitching continuously.

Dominic approached, questioning. “Where did Timothy go?”

“Dominic, I’ve dispatched Blake to search for him. Considering the relatively small size of this place, we

should receive updates shortly.”

Dominic couldn’t help but frown.

“But it’s your engagement day today. Regardless of how occupied Timothy may be, he shouldn’t vanish

without a trace, especially when he’s unreachable. His behavior is truly unacceptable,” he

retorted.

“Dominic, Tim has a demanding job. I can empathize with his situation.” Maya chimed in.

Dominic sighed. “Do as you wish. Since this is your decision, I won’t press further.”

He couldn’t comprehend what made Timothy so indispensable to Maya.

Unbeknownst to Maya, Timothy still harbored feelings for Mia.

Dominic returned to his seat, lowering his voice as he addressed Connor. “Where’s Mia? Why haven’t I

seen her?”

“I’ll go find out.”

Connor had previously met Felix, Mia’s studio boss who was also present at the venue.

Standing up, Connor walked over to Felix. “Felix, do you mind if we have a quick chat?”

“Not at all. lid love to.”

In reality, Felix was also perplexed. Wasn’t Connor Mia’s brother? Why was he here today, attending

Maya’s engagement ceremony and even seated in the family section?

Connor glanced around. “Is Mia not attending today?”

“She was supposed to be here, but there’s been no sign of her.

“I’ve messaged her on WhatsApp and called multiple times, but her phone is now completely turned

off,” Felix expressed, his displeasure evident.

Given the significance of today’s engagement ceremony for the studio, Mia’s absence as the designer

was highly embarrassing for him.

Upon hearing this, Connor promptly dialed Mia’s number, confirming that her phone was indeed

switched off.

Something seemed amiss. Why was her phone turned off?

Connor glanced at Felix and inquired, “Has Mia not responded to any of your messages?”

“At first, she did. She mentioned encountering an issue that caused a slight delay but assured me she’d

be here as soon as it was resolved. However, it’s been hours, and there’s still no sign of her.”

Connor felt a sense of unease. Mia wouldn’t just switch off her phone without reason. Something

Frowning, Connor inquired, “Did Mia explain the reason for her delay earlier this morning?“
