Chapter 247

Upon hearing Sharon’s words, Mia found herself grappling with the same doubts. Wasn’t today.

Timothy’s engagement day?

His remark to Shelly about Mia being her sister–in–law left her bewildered. Was he losing his

senses?

Could he not see how close Maya was to tears?

Adorned in a bridal gown, Maya radiated purity and angelic beauty from head to toe. Was Timothy

oblivious to her appearance?

As Mia’s imaginative banter took flight, she noticed Timothy approaching her. She kept looking up

at him, to the extent that her neck began to ache.

The sheer height of Timothy struck her–he was really tall!

Timothy stood before Mia, his slender gaze fixed on hers.

Mia’s expression turned somewhat awkward as she sensed Timothy scrutinizing her strangely.

What was wrong with him?

Why was

he staring at her like that?

Relentless in her pursuit of an answer, Sharon continued to press. “Tim, won’t you answer my

question?”

Timothy furrowed his brow, expressing displeasure at the interruption. “Why does any other

woman matter to me?”

“Tim!”

Feeling uneasy, Maya lifted her wedding veil and approached Timothy. “Tim, today marks our

engagement day. Have you forgotten?”

Timothy’s lips tightened into a cold, straight line.

Mia stood nearby, stealing a glance at Maya. A sudden recollection flashed through her mind, she

too had once experienced a similar dismissal from Timothy.

Addressing him, Mia remarked, “Mr. Barrett, your fiancée–Ms. Lane is talking to you. Can’t you

hear her?”

Timothy frowned. “She’s not my fiancée!”

“You don’t have to explain these details to me. I was the one who designed today’s engagement venue.

I wish the two of you a lifetime of happiness.”

Casually taking a few steps back, Mia added, “Oh, speaking of which, once Grandma’s surgery is over

at the end of the month, don’t forget to swing by the courthouse. It’s about time.”

With that, Mia left the scene without looking back. She had no intention of lingering any longer.

Observing Mia’s retreating silhouette, Timothy found himself at a loss for words, uncertain of how

to convince her to stay.

“Tim, why are you concerned about Mia? Today is your engagement day!” Sharon remarked.

She was eager for Mia to leave and not disrupt Timothy’s engagement.

Timothy stood in place for a while before finally turning to look at Maya, his gaze cold and solemn.

Maya was initially joyful, but as Timothy’s eyes met hers, a stiffness crept into her smile. “Tim, you

seem upset. Is something wrong?”

“Tim, what gives you the right to be unhappy? Maya waited for you for so long, and she didn’t even

complain!”

With a stern expression, Timothy addressed Maya. “Let me ask you again. Did you persuade Connor to

perform surgery on Grandma?”

Maya’s expression froze momentarily, and she appeared a bit flustered. “Yes, it was me. Who else

could have done it?”

Despite moments of doubt creeping in, Maya swiftly dismissed those thoughts.

After all, she was a part of the Lane family. Why else would Connor agree to perform this surgery

if not for her sake?

Suddenly, Timothy recalled Mia’s earlier behavior. She hadn’t said a word and even reminded him to

finalize their divorce after the surgery.

Mia was truly ruthless!

Timothy straightened his tie and coldly declared, “Our engagement is off.”

Maya’s expression abruptly changed. “W–Why?”

Sharon added, “Yes, Tim, why call off the engagement?”
