In that instance, Luna felt as though her life was hanging by a thread.

Caleb swiftly intervened, stepping forward and pleading, “Tim, calm down, please.”

With a steely expression, Timothy gradually released his grip, allowing Luna to breathe freely once

again as she clutched her neck, gasping for air.

Caleb couldn’t help but sigh. “Luna, you’re well aware that Tim can’t seem to move on from Mia. Why

would you deliberately say something like that to provoke him?”

Luna towered her gaze, concealing the frustration simmering within her; she couldn’t bear the thought

of losing Timothy to someone else.

Returning to her room, Mia stole a glance at the sleeping Ginger before silently heading into the

bathroom for a warm shower.

As Mia recalled Timothy’s haste to rescue Luna earlier, a hint of mockery flickered in her eyes.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over her, causing her head to spin.

Mia shut her eyes tightly, bracing herself against the sink as a whirlwind of unfamiliar images flooded

her mind. People and buildings flashed before her, each one foreign and unknown.

Yet, amidst the chaos, one figure stood out–a man who felt strangely familiar.

When she opened her eyes once more, a faint memory flickered within her.

The following morning, Mia awoke to find Ginger nestled beside her, her innocent voice breaking the

silence. “Mommy, are you awake? How did your little experiment go last night?

Observing Ginger’s hopeful gaze, Mia paused for a moment before addressing her, “Ginger, Mommy

has something to share with you. Please try not to feel disappointed or upset when you hear it.”

“Mommy, did the nice man not pass the test?”

Mia tenderly caressed Ginger’s cheek. “Ginger, it seems we may have been mistaken about someone.

Caleb is not your father.”

Ginger’s eyes widened in shock. “Mommy, then who is my daddy?”

Mia retrieved a family photograph and presented it to Ginger, asking, “Does your brother

resemble someone familiar to you?”

Ginger scrutinized the photo intently before exclaiming, “Sage looks just like that nice uncle!”

Mia confirmed, “It seems that we’ve got everything wrong from the beginning. He is your father, not

Caleb.”

Ginger’s eyes brightened momentarily, but then she regained her composure and stole a glance at

Mia’s expression. “Mommy, is that nice uncle really a bad guy?”

At first, Ginger had perceived Timothy as a good person.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted Timothy to be her daddy!

But now, after Mia’s revelation that Timothy was a bad guy, Ginger’s thoughts became

muddled.

She found herself caught between feelings of happiness and sorrow.

Mia enveloped Ginger in a comforting embrace, planting a tender kiss on her forehead. “I’m sorry if I’ve

let you down.”

“Mommy, you didn’t disappoint me,” Ginger responded earnestly.

Tears welled up in Ginger’s eyes as she covered her mouth, her gaze fixed on Mia. “Mommy, why did

that nice uncle leave us in the first place?”

With Luna on her mind, Mia paused before responding, “I guess it’s because he found someone else.

After all, I was just an ordinary commoner back then, and prestigious families. wouldn’t accept a

woman of my status as their daughter–in–law.”

Having grown up in the esteemed Lane family, Ginger had seen similar situations before and

understood the implications.

With a pout, Ginger declared, “Mommy, I’ve decided I don’t want him to be my daddy.” Mia gently

ruffled Ginger’s hair and reassured her, “Mommy will do her best to find you another daddy. I promise,

okay?”

After spending a few moments playing on the bed, Mia eventually got up and drew open hotel curtains,

revealing the clear sky outside. She remarked softly, “The rain has stopped.”
