Chapter 658

Ginger uttered, “Mommy’s over there.”

Timothy lifted his head and noticed the napping woman in her seat.

He cast his gaze down at Ginger, who barely reached his thigh. “What would you like to eat?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. The tables are too high. I can’t see.” Due to her height, Ginger couldn’t

get a clear view of the food on the table.

“Come here.” He lifted her up, his voice deep. “What would you like to have?”

As her field of vision expanded, she exclaimed in delight at the array of options. Ginger held her plate

as her head swiveled left and right before her finger finally settled on her desired dish. “That one.

That’s it.”

Timothy strolled around the restaurant with Ginger in his arms. The sight was rather adorable.

Mia woke up and began searching for Ginger, only to see Timothy carrying her.

Mixed feelings stirred in her because it seemed like Ginger really liked Timothy. Ginger was all

wreathed in smiles too.

Timothy looked younger in his casual clothes compared to when he was in his suits. Instead of a

businessman, he appeared more like an eye candy in showbiz.

Suddenly, her heart throbbed. She clutched her chest, pouring herself a glass of water to soothe her

nerves.

She couldn’t make sense of what was happening to her. It had been a long time since she last had a

hard time breathing. Was it because she hadn’t been taking her medicine lately?

Mia pushed the thought to the back of her mind.

Timothy took Ginger on a brief tour around the restaurant before seating her at the table.

“Mommy.” Ginger grinned after the fruitful journey.

Mia’s eyes narrowed at Ginger’s plate. “No, no. That’s too much desserts.”

She took the plate and took half of the food. “You can only have these with vegetables and protein.”

Ginger pouted. She never grew to like vegetables.

Mia stood up, eyes on Timothy. “Mr. Barrett, should we go get our share?” He spared her a glance and

nodded. They went to the buffet section.

Mia first grabbed vegetables, pumpkin soup, and boiled eggs for Ginger.

Her gaze went to him. “She can’t have too many desserts. They’re bad for her teeth.”

“Sorry, I haven’t babysat before.”

“It’s alright. I appreciate your patience with Ginger and keeping her company. She’s quite chatty, and

my family spoils her. She must’ve been quite a handful for you these past few days, haven’t she?”

He answered indifferently, “No, she wasn’t anything like that.”

On the contrary, he was grateful to Ginger because he could meet Mia because of her.

Mia’s origin remained a mystery, and he still had many questions.

“Tim.” Luna arrived with breakfast for Timothy, only to find him in the restaurant with

Monalize.

Mia watched Luna make her way over, marveling inwardly at Luna’s resilience.

Just the day before, Luna had taken a tumble down the stairs, yet here she was today, full of

energy.

With bandages wrapped around her head and band–aids on her wrists and knees, Luna still retained

her beauty, undiminished by her injuries.

Their gazes locked, a silent conversation passing between them. Only they held the key to what

transpired in those depths.

Mia smiled. “That fall was nasty, but here you are, standing tall. You’re quite the strong woman, aren’t

you?”
