Chapter 453
Meet My Brothers
Mia recognized the manâhe must be the director of Music School. Struggling to come up with a
response, she pressed her lips together.
Yet, Timothy replied swiftly, âNothing much. Sheâs my wife, and I thank you all in advance for taking
care of her in school.â
Mia was dumbfounded. What the heck did he just say?
Feeling utterly bewildered, she chanced a glance at him. She clearly remembered him warning her not
to expose their relationship in public before. But he just did earlier!
Was he out of his mind?
Everyone in the private room was stunned except for Kennedy and Claude. A bright smile spread
across Kennedyâs face while Claude glowered at Timothy.
The director immediately lifted his glass at Mia, saying, âMy apologies, Mrs. Barrett. I apologize for not
recognizing you due to my ignorance. Please forgive me. Rest assured, Iâll keep my lips sealed about
this.
The others chimed in as well, declaring that they wouldnât breathe a word of her identity.
Mia flashed a courteous, yet awkward smile at them. She simply didnât believe them. Gossip circulated
quickly in schools, after all.
She had been keeping a low profile because she yearned to complete her credit hours before leaving
Bern City. Yet, Timothy just ruined her plans. How could she possibly stay under the radar once her
identity was exposed?
Did he do it on purpose? However, she couldnât fathom how he could benefit from purposely exposing
her identity.
She shot a scathing glare at him, but he cast a graceful glance at her as he comforted her. âDonât
worry, Iâll back you up. No oneâs gonna bully you.â
Mia was speechless. This wasnât even the point!
Looking at how eager Timothy was to serve her drinks as he put on an impeccable act of being
starstruck lovers, she wondered whether he had been possessed.
Just then, someone from her right extended a hand to stop Timothy.
Claude snatched her glass away and scowled at Timothy. âIâm sorry, but Mia doesnât drink juice. Itâs not
good for her health. Arenât you aware of that?â
Timothy was momentarily stunned. He set down the bottle promptly and replied, âSorry darling, but I
donât remember you being allergic to juice.â
Glancing at the mango juice before her, Mla flashed a faint smile. âI didnât in the past, but I am allergic
to it now.â She was more wary of her diet since she became pregnant.
Timothy didnât get mad after he was rebuked. He gestured at the server to come. âDarling, order
anything you want.â
Claude said nonchalantly to the server, âMia prefers something light. For example, this dishâ¦â
He ordered a lot of dishes in the end. He really wasnât holding back.
Being stuck in between the two men rendered Mla into exasperation. Her smile waned when she saw
the overwhelming amount of dishes before her.
She sensed the underlying rage in Timothyâs tone as he spoke Iclly, âMr. Lane, it seems like youâre
desperately trying to please my wife. I know sheâs amazing, but sheâs already married. You donât stand
a chance.â
Miaâs cheeks grew hot. As expected, he misunderstood her relationship with Claude.
Everyone in the private room fixed their gaze on him the moment they heard Timothy. Their eyes
glimmered with intense curiosity.
So, Claude was trying to steal Timothyâs girl.
Mia stirred in her seat. Nonetheless, Claude was unfazed. He picked something for her instead. âMia,
try this. Itâs nice.
âMla, this is quite good as well.â
As food began to pile up on her empty plate, she finally started to devour them because her babies
were famished.
