Chapter 673

Upon hearing this, Timothy observed the waiter holding a sizable gift box at the door, feeling somewhat

out of place.

A myriad of emotions stirred within Timothy. He remained silent and didn’t approach.

Timothy was perplexed by Mia’s demeanor. Despite knowing he had overheard her words, she seemed

confident that he would continue to trust her.

Where did she summon such audacity?

Standing beside Timothy, Caleb couldn’t resist his curiosity and walked over to accept the gift, eagerly

inquiring, “Did Ms. Monalize mention anything else?”

“She insisted that Mr. Barrett join her in Room 888. She wouldn’t accept no for an answer!”

Caleb was taken aback. After the waiter left, he excitedly placed the gift on the coffee table and

exclaimed, “Hey Tim, seriously? You two were out for just a short while, and now you’re back looking all

disheveled.

“She even gave you a gift and wants to meet up tonight. Have you guys patched things up already?”

“Patched things up? That’s absurd!” Timothy retorted, clearly irritated. He couldn’t resist. giving Caleb a

kick. “Did I ask you to accept this gift?”

Caleb coughed nervously. “Tim, I just didn’t want you to feel embarrassed, so I accepted the gift on

your behalf.”

“Did I ask for your help?” Timothy chided, his gaze fixed on the box. As he thought of Mia’s smile, a

heavy feeling settled in his heart.

“Tim, please answer my question. Did you two have a heart–to–heart conversation just now?

Π

Timothy grunted in response. He had been quite explicit, so it should count as an open conversation,

right?

Caleb scrutinized Timothy’s appearance. “Your clothes are a mess. Are you sure there wasn’t a candid

conversation?”

Recalling the moment when Mia flirted with him, Timothy couldn’t help but feel a slight blow to his

masculinity.

With a serious expression, he responded, “Are you a woman now? Why are you being so nosy?”

Caleb cleared his throat before suggesting, “Perhaps I should return the gift on your behalf, Tim. It’s

important for us to maintain our integrity as men.”

Timothy’s voice was firm, “Leave it.”

“Well, that’s certainly more like it. The fact that she sent a gift could be seen as a positive gesture,”

Caleb remarked as he placed the gift box in front of Timothy.

Nonetheless, Timothy didn’t share Caleb’s optimism. After all, Caleb remained unaware of their recent

exchange.

Initially, Timothy had harbored suspicions that Monalize was actually Mia in disguise, pretending not to

recognize him intentionally.

But now, uncertainty clouded his thoughts.

After a moment of hesitation, Timothy eventually opened the gift box before him, revealing a piece of

clothing inside.

To his surprise, it appeared to be a bit revealing.

He reached in and pulled it out, finding a pair of black briefs with lace edges.

Timothy’s expression darkened instantly, his teeth clenched as he exclaimed, “What is this supposed to

be?”

Caleb was equally startled by the contents of the box. “Tim, it seems your wife has become quite

daring after all these years of being apart from you. Isn’t it obvious? This lingerie set is quite

suggestive, hinting at something rather unmistakable, isn’t it?”

Timothy threw the underwear at Caleb. “Are you blind? This is men’s underwear!”

It was clearly not intended for women.

Furious, Timothy removed his coat. What was Mia implying with this gift?

Did she really see him as some kind of male escort?

Caleb quickly examined the material and style of the underwear in his hand, realizing that even a blind

person could discern it was intended for men.

Hastily, he returned the item to the box, his expression turning somewhat awkward. “Tim, there’s no

need to be so upset. In a sense, this could be considered a positive sign.”
