Chapter 336

As Mia stepped out of the car, she glanced at Connor and reassured him. “Don’t worry, I won’t

mention anything to Dominic.”

Entering the house together, Mia was greeted by a delightful aroma, indicating that Patricia had

prepared something delicious.

In the living room, Mia spotted a handsome young man sitting on the couch. Her eyes widened in

surprise. “Claude?”

Claude stood up from the couch with a smile and went over to Mia, affectionately ruffling her hair.

“Mia, why are you back so late today? Did you have a busy day at college?”

Mia hesitated before replying, “No, Grandma Laura had surgery today, so I had to stay at the

hospital until the operation was finished.”

Claude shot a glance at Connor. Aware of Mia’s previous role as a caregiver in the Barrett

household, Claude had always been opposed to Connor’s involvement in surgeries for the Barrett

family.

However, given that it was Mia’s personal request, Claude refrained from saying much. After all,

Mia was known for her kindness.

With a charming smile, Claude suggested, “Shall we grab a bite to eat first?”

Emerging from the kitchen, Patricia chimed in. “That sounds like a plan. Since everyone’s here,

let’s wash up and enjoy our meal.

“By the way, Mia, since Claude is visiting and the weekend is approaching, why don’t you join him

for a stroll around Bern City?”

Mia nodded in agreement. “Sure. Claude, are you here in Bern City for leisure or business?”

Since Mia’s brothers typically had hectic work schedules, they only managed to visit her in Bern

City during their vacations or business trips.

Claude replied casually, “I’m here for business, but I thought it was a good opportunity to take a

break too.”

Nonetheless, the main purpose of his visit was to see Mia.

Amid Mia’s sudden discovery earlier, Claude’s schedule was filled with work commitments,

leaving him with little time to travel to Bern City.

Having finally arranged his work schedule, Claude naturally desired to spend time with Mia in Bern City.

Mia had fairly good relationships with her six brothers, although she didn’t interact much with Claude

and Jason.

Jason, being a lawyer, had assisted Mia previously when she faced false accusations.

However, with Claude, Mia sensed a lack of connection between them.

Despite not knowing much about Claude, Mia couldn’t deny his striking appearance. If Claude ever

decided to pursue a career in the limelight, there was no doubt he would become a sensation.

The next day, Mia prepared to go to the studio.

The previous evening, she had sent a text to Felix, requesting time off.

Mia had to serve as a tour guide for Claude over the next couple of days and also had to visit Laura at

the hospital, leaving her with little spare time.

Mia had no intention of reporting to the studio for duty this weekend.

Upon her arrival, Mia promptly switched on her computer and efficiently handled her remaining tasks,

ensuring a seamless handover.

With her reduced availability in the future, she decided not to take on many new projects.

“Mia, you’re here! Weren’t you supposed to be on leave this weekend?” Felix exclaimed, his eyes

lighting up upon seeing Mia.

Mia responded nonchalantly, “I just came to drop off some documents.”

Just as Felix was about to speak, the door to the adjacent guest room swung open, and Janice

emerged. “Felix, have you finished your work? Oh, hi, Mia! What brings you here?”

Mia’s expression shifted slightly, feeling a hint of awkwardness. “I came to take care of some work, but

it looks like you two have plans. You can go ahead first.”

Mia couldn’t help but notice Janice’s elegant attire, suggesting she was getting ready to go somewhere.

Felix quickly clarified, “It’s nothing major. My mom rarely visits, so I thought I’d take her out for a bit of

sightseeing and fun over the weekend.”

Janice’s gaze was pensive as she approached, linking her arm with Mia’s. “Mia, there’s something
