Chapter 765
Meet My Brothers
Miaâs heart skipped a beat; she hadnât expected Timothy to suggest leaving Ginger in Bern City for
treatment.
It caught Mia completely off guard.
Recalling the photo Timothy had just shown her, it became apparent that Timothy must have had
suspicions about her identity, prompting him to suggest leaving Ginger in Bern City for treatment.
It was clear that he didnât buy her explanation earlier.
However, Mia realized it wasnât the right time to confront Timothy, especially considering the risk of him
refusing to donate bone marrow if things got heated.
She didnât want to escalate the situation any further.
After a moment of contemplation, Mia simply nodded and replied, âOkay.â
Observing Miaâs swift agreement, Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly. He had assumed that proposing
such a condition would provoke a reaction from her.
However, to his surprise, she agreed without hesitation.
What kind of scheme was she plotting?
Both Mia and Timothy kept their thoughts to themselves. Mia continued enjoying her ice cream before
breaking the silence.
âBy the way, Mr. Barrett, Shelly told me that Luna seems to be seriously injured. Did she break her foot
or something?â
Sitting opposite Mia, Timothyâs gaze was penetrating. âYouâve grown quite close to Shelly, havenât
you?â
In the past, these two had constantly been at odds!
Mia responded with a meaningful smile. âWell, Shelly is going to be my future sisterâinâlaw, so itâs
important to maintain a good relationship, wouldnât you agree?
âBut, Mr. Barrett, letâs not change the subject. Since weâre being candid today, thereâs a question Iâve
been curious about for some time.â
âGo ahead.â
âWhat exactly is your relationship with Luna, and is Asher your son?â
Timothy paused, placing his utensils on the table. âAre you feeling jealous?â
Seeing Timothyâs irritated expression, Mia forced a smile. âOf course, Iâm feeling jealous. Mr. Barrett, I
heard Luna played a role in your divorce from your exâwife. I donât want to go through that again!â
Timothyâs lips tightened. âThe past is complicated, but my relationship with Luna isnât what youâre
assuming. And as for Asher, heâs not my son.
âIf Asher isnât yours, why has Luna been able to stay in the Barrett family all this time, with Mrs. Barrett
treating Asher like her grandson? There must be a reason behind it, right?â
Mia had previously questioned Shelly about Asherâs identity, but Shelly wasnât entirely certain either.
With a solemn expression, Mia awaited Timothyâs response.
Timothyâs deep voice broke the silence. âI cannot disclose Asherâs identity, but he is definitely not my
illegitimate son.â
While this statement didnât directly address Miaâs question, she decided not to press the matter further.
If Timothy wasnât willing to talk, there was no point in pushing him.
Continuing to press the issue might make her seem overly jealous, and Mia knew she wasnât that petty.
However, Mia couldnât shake the feeling that something wasnât right, especially considering the tattoo
on Lunaâs ankle. Yet, she couldnât pinpoint exactly what it
was.
Nonetheless, Mia eagerly looked forward to visiting Ryan again once she returned to Nord City.
Perhaps recovering her memories would shed light on the truth of what happened in the past.
Shortly after, Mia received a WhatsApp message from Peyton. âThe Barrett Group wants to collaborate
with Aide Castle. Should we decline?â
Upon reading the message, Mia arched her eyebrows in surprise. This development was certainly
unexpected.
After a moment of consideration, she replied, âHold off on rejecting them. Send me the proposal so I
can review it first.â
Given the Barrett familyâs esteemed position as the top aristocratic lineage in Nord City, collaborating
with them could undoubtedly help Aide Castle establish a foothold in the city. 2)
Therefore, hastily dismissing such an opportunity would be unwise.
Meanwhile, Timothy quickly finished his lunch and informed Mia, âIâll drop you off at the hospital first.
Once my afternoon meeting wraps up, Iâll come over.
