Chapter 676

Unable to tolerate the situation any longer, Timothy rose to his feet. He glanced at the group of young

men, calmly removed his wristwatch, and tossed it outside the door. “Whoever grabs it first can keep it.”

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Keith sneered, “How much could this watch possibly cost anyway?”

Raising an eyebrow, Mia replied, “It’s not that expensive, just a little over 80 thousand

dollars.”

The moment her words trailed off, the young men, including Keith, swiftly stood up and dashed toward

the door.

With a cold expression, Timothy strode over and closed the door, ensuring it was securely

locked.

The room finally settled into a tranquil atmosphere..

Mia arched an eyebrow, glancing at Timothy before her. “Are you seriously going to discard an 80–

thousand–dollar watch like that?”

Timothy stepped closer, his tone laced with sarcasm. “Looks like your taste in men isn’t quite up to par;

they’re willing to walk away over a mere 80 thousand bucks.”

“Well, who can resist the allure of money? If you handed me 80 thousand dollars, I’d make way for you

too,” Mia quipped in response.

Timothy’s demeanor turned serious as he gazed at Mia before him, questioning, “What did you want to

talk about by inviting me here?”

“A woman doesn’t summon a man in the dead of night just for conversation, Mr. Barrett. Are you truly

that naive?”

Timothy’s expression darkened upon seeing Mia sporting that familiar smug expression once again, his

irritation intensifying as he noticed the dimples forming at the corners of

her mouth.

Just then, Timothy approached Mia and leaned in, pushing her down onto the couch.

Peering down at Mia from above, Timothy spoke, “Ms. Monalize, given your unmistakable hints,

wouldn’t it be disrespectful if I didn’t take any action?”

Seeing Timothy draw nearer, Mia’s heart suddenly began to race with anticipation.

It seemed Timothy wasn’t playing by the usual rules, was he?

Before Mia realized what was happening, her feet left the ground as she was swept away.

In a matter of moments, Mia found herself in the bedroom, a sense of unease creeping over her. “Mr.

Barrett, what are you doing?”

As Mia found herself pressed against the plush bed, Timothy held her firmly on both sides, his voice

maintaining a gentle tone. “Isn’t this what you wanted by inviting me here? Why the sudden change of

heart?”

Timothy was curious to see how long Mia could keep up her charade.

Locking eyes with Timothy, Mia refused to betray any vulnerability. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms

tightly around his neck and pushed him down.

Perched on top of him, Mia looked down and declared, “So, Mr. Barrett, I guess this makes us an

official couple, doesn’t it? Perfect. I’ll make sure you get the reishi mushroom. But if we’re going to be

together, you’ll need to abide by my conditions.”

Her cascading curls framed her face, and a bold grin played on her lips.

Nonetheless, Timothy appeared somewhat preoccupied, his eyes narrowing slightly. “What

conditions?”

“As my boyfriend, your devotion to me must be unwavering, with me holding the sole place in your

heart. From now on, you must prioritize treating me with kindness above all else.

“Your affection toward me must be genuine, with no room for deceit. Every commitment you make to

me must be fulfilled, and your words should always reflect sincerity.

“I will not tolerate any form of deception or verbal abuse; instead, I anticipate your genuine care and

concern for me.

“In moments of mistreatment from others, I expect you to swiftly come to my aid without hesitation. My

joy should be your shared delight, and in times of sorrow, you must uplift my spirits.”

Timothy let out a soft chuckle in response. It seemed she was seeking his commitment, after all.

As Mia finished her rapid declaration, she tenderly placed her hand on his cheek. “And most

importantly, you must forget about your ex–wife.”
