Chapter 421

Mia found Timothy’s actions somewhat perplexing: the divorce agreement explicitly stated that he

would be required to transfer all his shares to her.

Following Jason’s stipulations, Timothy would essentially be walking away from their marriage without

any assets.

Mia couldn’t understand how Timothy could remain so composed in the face of it all!

Timothy reclined in his chair, gazing at Mia. “I’m not feeling rushed at all. Why are you so anxious?”

Mia was taken aback. Had she heard him correctly?

She couldn’t help but chuckle in exasperation.

“Timothy, if you’re not feeling pressured, then I’ll simply take this divorce agreement to the Barrett

Group’s office tomorrow, and I suppose I’ll assume your role as CEO.”

After saying those words, Mia noticed that Timothy showed no signs of anger. Instead, a playful smile

appeared on his lips.

“Well, that sounds like a plan. The office workload has been overwhelming lately, and I think it’s about

time for me to take a break.

“If you ever have any questions or need assistance with the company’s affairs in the future, don’t

hesitate to reach out to me.”

Mia felt utterly bewildered.

Advancing abruptly, she grabbed hold of Timothy’s tie, frustration evident in her clenched teeth.”

Timothy, are you trying to mess with me?”

Timothy sprawled lazily in his chair, his legs casually stretched to one side.

He looked at Mia with a mischievous glint in his eyes. She was nestled in his arms, and he couldn’t

help but notice her teary almond–shaped eyes gazing back at him, tinged with a hint of anger.

She embodied a curious blend of fierceness and charm, reminiscent of a wild kitten with sharp claws.

occasionally lashing out unexpectedly.

Timothy’s throat moved slightly, his voice deep as he conceded, “Hmm, you’re showing more wit this

time.”

He was undoubtedly trying to provoke Mia on purpose.

Furious, Mia couldn’t help but wonder what Timothy’s intentions were.

However, as she raised her head to meet his gaze, his eyes darkened, reflecting the intensity of that

absurd night from months ago.

At that moment, Mia felt a surge of warmth spread across her cheeks.

She suddenly became aware of her position, draped across his lap, as if she had inadvertently thrown

herself onto him when grabbing his tie just now.

Flushed with embarrassment, Mia attempted to pull away, only to find Timothy’s hands firmly gripping

her waist.

The heat emanating from his palms permeated through the thin fabric of Mia’s clothing, causing her

entire body to feel tense.

Mia struggled to break free, her face flushed crimson, but Timothy maintained his grip.

As

they

grappled with each other for a while, Mia couldn’t help but notice the temperature around them

rising noticeably.

Feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration, she exclaimed, “Timothy, what do you think you’re

doing? This is a public place!”

Despite this, Timothy’s grip on Mia’s wrist tightened, his gaze dark and intense. “We’re still married,

aren’t we? There’s nothing wrong with this.”

“Don’t forget, I’m pregnant!” Mia retorted.

Was Timothy out of his mind?

As Mia spoke, she couldn’t help but notice Timothy’s expression darken.

Not only did he refuse to release her, but he also seized the back of her head, his thin lips parting with

a

cold tone.

“I don’t need you to remind me. I’m aware that the child in your belly is a result of your intimacy with

another man. Well, that’s fine. It does save us the trouble of using protection now, doesn’t it?”

Upon hearing the last sentence, Mia’s lips turned pale. What were Timothy’s intentions?

In the next instant, Mia found herself enveloped in Timothy’s embrace, her legs now straddling his lap.

With her ear pressed against his chest, she could feel the warmth radiating from him, coupled with the

strong rhythm of his heartbeat, causing her ears to turn red.

Mia’s entire body rang alarmingly as she struggled to free herself from Timothy’s grasp, but his hands

held firm, refusing to release her.

Lowering his head, Timothy fixed his gaze on Mia’s flushed face. His eyes drifted downward, settling on

her lips.

Without hesitation, Timothy moved his lips closer, closing the distance between them.
