Chapter 535

Mia gazed at the collection of men’s photos before her, momentarily stunned by the unfolding situation.

Was Laura thinking about setting her up on blind dates?

Timothy’s expression immediately soured. “Grandma, what’s going on?”

“I’m just trying to find potential matches for Mia!”

Timothy pressed his lips together, a surge of jealousy coursing through him. “Grandma, I’m right here!”

Laura’s attempt to set up Mia with potential suitors right in front of him–Was she treating him as though

he were invisible?

Adding to the complexity, Mia was carrying Timothy’s babies. How could he allow her to marry

someone

else?

Laura arched an eyebrow. “Well, don’t just stand there. Come and help me screen these men. Check if

any of them have any red flags or sketchy backgrounds.”

Timothy was utterly furious. What was Laura trying to imply?

Timothy adjusted his tie, his face assuming a stern expression as he remained silent.

Looking at the photos, Mia sighed. “Grandma, to be honest, I haven’t given much thought to

relationships

lately.”

Timothy’s expression brightened upon hearing Mia’s words.

Yet, Laura’s disappointment was evident. “I guess you’re right. Given your move to Nord City, it would

make sense to marry someone from there. I overlooked that detail.”

Mia couldn’t help but feel exasperated. It seemed Laura didn’t quite comprehend her intentions.

Upon learning about Mia’s plans, Timothy couldn’t hide his frown. He began envisioning a scenario

where Mia would return to Nord City, possibly never coming back to Bern City.

What would he do in that situation?

A sense of unease gripped Timothy as he struggled to find a solution to persuade Mia to stay.

Suddenly, Timothy’s gaze shifted to Mia’s abdomen.

If Laura were aware of Mia’s pregnancy with Timothy’s child, she would undoubtedly insist that Mia stay

in Bern City.

Certainly, resisting Laura’s sincere plea would be challenging for Mia.

Feeling Timothy’s eyes on her, Mia became uneasy. Quickly, she grabbed a pillow to shield her

abdomen,

silently cursing.

Why was Timothy giving her such a look? Was he attempting to subtly hint at Laura about her

pregnancy.

hoping it would persuade her to stay?

Mia’s brow furrowed slightly. She couldn’t allow Timothy to have that opportunity. She wasn’t sure if she

could resist being swayed.

She quickly got up. “Grandma Laura, I need to use the restroom real quick.”

“Go ahead. When you come back, dinner will be ready. I’ve instructed the cooks to prepare your

favorite

dishes.”

Taking a deep breath, Mia headed upstairs to the restroom. Despite appreciating Laura’s kindness, she

longed for independence.

Upon exiting the restroom, Mia spotted Timothy waiting outside.

Timothy cast a condescending glance down at her. “Where are you planning to take my babies?”

Mia’s breath caught. Her suspicions were validated. Timothy had indeed set his sights on her little

ones.

She tenderly touched her abdomen, locking eyes with him. “You were quite clear in the past about not

Liking children and not wanting them.”

Upon hearing this, Timothy’s eyes turned cold, followed by a brief flicker of vulnerability.

His lips tightened as he affirmed, “I did say that.”

“Given your firm stance against having children, why are you pretending now?” Mia retorted, her gaze

sharp with irony.

She recalled questioning Timothy about his views on having children many times, yet he had always

remained steadfast.

Timothy tightly gripped her wrist. “The twins are mine too. You don’t have the sole authority to decide

where they will live; they should stay here.”

Timothy was teistent that Atia elve birth to their babies in Bern City. From his expression, Mia could tell

he wasn’t kine

She dehantly raised her chin and replied, “Go ahead and try. Let’s see if my six brothers would agree to

that I’m no longer the vulnerable orphan you and your family can push around!”
