Chapter 591

Mia sensed a shift in the atmosphere and raised her head only to realize Timothy’s presence.

The smile on her face faded as she remembered the time she ran into him dining in a restaurant with a

woman.

Her gaze on him didn’t last long.

The six handsome men on the couch were glaring at Timothy all at the same time.

Timothy approached Laura. “Grandma, almost all the guests are here.”

“Is that so? Mia, you and your family can head outside and grab something to eat. I’ll be there in a short

while.”

Mia stood up and cued her brothers, “Let’s go.”

The six men rose to their feet, casting an intimidating glance at Timothy.

Timothy stood there all alone, under their scrutiny and faces of judgment.

Kaleb couldn’t help but wipe the beads of sweat off his forehead. If a glare could kill someone, Timothy

would’ve been dead for god–knew–how–many–times.

The Lanes obviously held a bad impression of Timothy.

The parlor soon became quiet.

Laura looked at Timothy, asking indifferently, “I’ve hosted a party for you. What are you going to do

now?”

He frowned. “I never expected her brothers to come along.”

He thought that Mia would come alone.

Laura held a cup of tea and explained, “I told her to invite her brothers.”

“Why?”

“Because they’re her family. If you want to earn her forgiveness, you should deal with her family first.”

She put her teacup down. “But I don’t think they like you.”

His lips pressed firmly. That was an unnecessary reminder.

“Say, Tim. If you really want to win her heart back, you should offer a sincere apology before pursuing

her again. Once she returns to Nord City, a place so far away, I’m afraid her family will arrange blind

dates for her. When that happens, you’re out of the game.”

Creases formed between his brows. “That’s what I’m worried about. Her brothers might get in the way.”

“That’s normal. After all, no one could ever forgive the fact that their sister suffered in a marriage for

three years before consigning to divorce. You’re the one to blame for not appreciating her.”

Guilt was suffocating him.

Laura returned to the topic. “Enough of this useless talk. What did you prepare for today?”

“A set of jewelry. It’s her favorite brand.”

“That won’t be enough. The necklace she’s wearing right now is very expensive. It completely outranks

the limited edition jewelry you prepared.”

Laura’s eyes darted to Kaleb. She ordered, “Kaleb, bring me the box I prepared.”

Timothy’s expression shifted the moment he saw what was inside the box. “I can’t take that, Grandma.

This was your wedding gift.”

“Do you think it’s a present from me to you? I’m asking you to give it to Mia. Expensive and meaningful

presents are important to show our sincerity. Getting yourself a wife is expensive.”

Timothy stared at the accessory. “This is different. Mia is not a materialistic woman. She won’t want it.”

“It’s no wonder you’re single, Tim. Mia is Ms. Lane now. What is there that she doesn’t have? Listen to

1. me. Take it. If you don’t want me to suffer a loss, make sure you win her back to be my

granddaughter–in-

law again. I won’t be losing anything once we become a family.” (5)

Finally accepting her heartfelt advice, he took the box. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll make sure to make

that

happen.”
