Chapter 422

Suddenly, Mia felt something cold sealing her mouth shut, causing her eyes to widen instantly. She

couldn’t believe Timothy was kissing her.

In that instant, her mind went blank, and she felt numb all over.

They had been married for three years, and aside from that one accidental encounter, there had been

no physical contact between them.

They hadn’t even held hands, let alone kissed, yet here Timothy was, kissing her forcefully.

What was his intention behind this?

As Mia realized the situation, she tried to push Timothy away, but he effortlessly countered her

attempts.

Mia’s hands remained pressed against Timothy’s chest, where she could feel the rapid thud of his

heartbeat beneath her palms. It seemed to be beating a little faster than usual.

Timothy’s breath grew somewhat ragged, seemingly caught up in the intoxicating sensation of her lips.

Mia felt as though she were in a daze, everything appearing unreal, like a dream.

As her eyes fluttered open, she saw Timothy’s face inching closer; she couldn’t help but notice his

nervous demeanor.

“Stop it! What’s going on here?” Maya’s voice suddenly emerged from behind, breaking the tension.

between them.

Upon hearing Maya entering from behind the curtain, Timothy frowned and stopped his advances

abruptly.

Seizing the opportunity, Mia shoved him away and quickly retreated a few steps, her eyes wide with

disbelief.

A faint pink hue tinged his handsome profile, and the collar of his shirt bore wrinkles from her grip.

His eyes retained their intense darkness, while a subtle gloss adorned his lips.

Mia found herself momentarily captivated by Timothy’s charming appearance. His low, ragged breath

echoed in her ears, teasing her nerves ever so slightly.

She couldn’t grasp the fact that Timothy had just forcibly kissed her!

With tears in her eyes, Maya spoke up, “Tim, what were you two doing just now? Did Mia shamelessly

initiate the kiss?”

Upon hearing Maya’s accusation, Mia burst out laughing in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe that Maya was suggesting she had made the first move!

Mia’s anger surged instantly as she advanced toward Timothy.

With raised eyebrows, Timothy observed her, his lips displaying a hint of amusement as she drew near.

In the next moment, Mia seized the loosened tie around Timothy’s neck and pressed herself against his

chest, glaring defiantly at Maya.

“Regardless of who initiated it, Timothy and I are legally married. Sharing a kiss behind this stage

curtain doesn’t constitute indecency. It’s not illegal, is it?” Mia asserted confidently.

Timothy met Mia’s gaze as she held him tightly in her embrace.

Despite feeling a bit uncomfortable with his tie constricting him, he inclined his head slightly, seemingly

cooperating with Mia’s gesture and affirming her statement.

Maya was infuriated. “Mia, stop fabricating stories! Timothy would never kiss you!”

Mia turned sharply, her gaze meeting Timothy’s with a playful smile. “Darling, Ms. Lane seems

skeptical. Why don’t you enlighten her? Perhaps that will dispel her doubts once and for all!”

Mia was determined to make things challenging for Maya; she wanted to see how Timothy would

explain their kiss to her.

Timothy lowered his gaze, a smile hiding in the depths of his eyes. “I don’t believe explanations would

be very convincing.”

“Well, what would you like to-

Before Mia could complete her sentence. Timothy suddenly interrupted her with a kiss, causing her

eyes to widen in disbelief, appearing puzzled by his unexpected gesture.

To Mia’s astonishment, Timothy kissed her once more, right in front of Maya.

Witnessing the scene unfold, Maya was overwhelmed with anger and jealousy, tears streaming down

her

face as her lips trembled. “How could you… Tim, how could you do this to me?”
