Chapter 653

Mia opened her suitcase, wondering what she should wear for her date later that evening. Her eyes ran

through her options as she replied to Wade, “What is it?”

“Ms. Mia, Mr. Dominic told me to inform him when you meet your ex–husband.”

Her hands paused. “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because I respect your decision.”

That answer elicited a smile from her. “You sure have a way with your words. Don’t worry. I’m not

interested in my ex–husband. Dominic is just worried that I might lose control of my emotions when I

meet my ex–husband. Look at me now. I’m completely fine.”

Four years ago, she managed to narrowly avert losing her babies in an accident, albeit at the cost of

her memories with Timothy.

A sigh escaped from Wade. There was something he hadn’t said “You’ve got the wrong person, Ms.

Mia. Mr. Barrett is your ex–husband!”

She noticed his troubled expression. “You’re overthinking. You can contact my doctor. Ask him if I’m

doing good lately.”

He figured that it was a good idea. Leaving them alone, he immediately contacted Ryan Grayson, the

psychologist in charge of Mia’s case.

Wade recounted the whole situation.

“You mean she took the wrong person for her ex–husband?” Ryan’s voice was deep.

“Yes, should I tell her the truth?”

“No, for now. Let’s take a desensitization experiment. I was worried that Mia meeting Timothy would

awaken the memories I sealed through hypnosis. If she doesn’t remember, let it be. If she remembers,

you don’t have to do anything either.”

Wade sighed, thinking that Mia shouldn’t have come to Xanier Island. However, what was done was

done. Mia would surely come here because Ginger sneaked to the island.

Was it all destiny?

Back in the room, Mia had chosen which dress to wear. After getting changed, she highlighted her

features with makeup.

Ginger’s light step carried her to her mother. “Wow! You look so pretty, Mommy!”

Mia stroked Ginger’s head. “Stay in the room. Now, it’s time to test whether that man is qualified to be

your father.”

“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you, Mommy!”

Stepping in heels and holding her bag, Mia breezed out of her room.

She strode to the other room while humming.

Inviting a man to her room?

That was not something that she would do.

When she entered the room, no one was in there. She couldn’t believe that Timothy would arrive later

than her. Men would normally be more enthusiastic when it came to dates in a hotel because there was

only one thing they would think of.

Mia clucked her tongue, seemingly approving Timothy’s push–and–pull strategy. She poured herself a

glass of wine.

That was the most direct method to test a man’s true intention. Basically, no one passed the

test all these years.

Before long, there was a knock at the door. Mia directed her gaze toward it. “Come in. It’s not locked.”

Still, the person outside kept knocking.

Frowning, she walked toward the door. “I said, it’s not locked. Who are you?”

A hotel attendant stood outside the door and politely said, “Ms. Monalize, Mr. Barrett told me to take

you to a place.”

Mia was surprised.

Where was Timothy planning to take her?
