Chapter 79
Meet My Brothers
Mia nodded. âAlright. I promise.â
It wasnât a big deal to proceed with the divorce. After all, she had signed the divorce agreement.
After Maya left the studio, she called Connor. However, the call didnât go through.
What happened?
She called him the night before, and the call went unanswered, too. He also didnât reply to her texts.
And now, even his phone was turned off.
Maya called her assistant immediately.
âFind out Connorâs schedule. Is he doing volunteer work overseas for the Red Cross again?â
She had to convince him to come back as soon as possible to perform the surgery. Otherwise, Mia
would use Lauraâs health as an excuse to keep bugging Timothy.
Meanwhile, Mia seemed quite distracted. Her mind was occupied with what Maya said earlier on.
She regretted not recording what she said earlier. It was such a pity that she couldnât show Mayaâs true
colors
to Timothy.
She missed the opportunity. Thus, there was no way that Maya would admit despite anything she said.
Head in hands, Mia felt helpless because Mayaâs threat was actually working. She was indeed
concerned about Lauraâs health, and the last thing she wanted was to let her suffer in pain.
Yet, Timothy wanted them to act as a couple. If she mentioned divorce at this point, it was highly likely
that he would misunderstand again.
That bitch, Maya, was indeed skilled in putting her in a difficult position.
After much thought, Mia finally made up her mind.
She texted Timothy, âAre you free next Monday?â
Today was Friday. She was planning to meet with Timothy at the courthouse next Monday.
She still didnât receive his response after some time. Thus, she set her phone aside to avoid
distractions.
After a while, her phone buzzed. She immediately grabbed her phone and glanced at the notification.
However, it was a text from Connor that read, âMia, Iâm here on a business trip. Letâs grab dinner
tonight.â
Mia thought it was a reply from Timothy. She glanced over at their chat, and there still wasnât any
response
from him.
Thus, she decided to get off work earlier to meet Connor.
While she was on the way, she received news that Liam was coming over because he had a shoot
here, too. Hence, they agreed to meet at the same restaurant.
Just as Mia walked into the restaurant, she heard someone calling her from behind.
âMs. Bowen?â
She turned around and happened to find Maya. As she glanced behind her, she spotted Timothy. It was
clear that they came as a pair.
This wasnât the fate she desired.
Mia replied calmly, âOh, what a coincidence.â
Timothy narrowed his eyes. The least he would expect was to bump into her in this restaurant. Was
she here alone, or was she with someone else?
Maya immediately continued, âMs. Bowen, the atmosphere of this restaurant is excellent. Itâs best for
couples to come here. Are you alone?â
Mia wasnât fazed by her question at all.
She replied airily, âOf course not.â
âIs that so? If you donât mind, why donât you join us instead? After all, the more the merrier. Donât you
agree, Tim?â
Mia frowned at her words. Was Maya out of her mind?
Joining them for dinner? There was no way that Timothy, who was such a clean freak, would want to
dine with
someone else. Moreover, she knew he preferred to be alone.
Mia shot a glance at Timothy. She was so sure he would refuse.
In the next second, he replied, âSure.â
Mia was caught off guard. She couldnât figure out why he agreed to let her join their dinner.
There was a hint of confusion in her eyes. Were Maya and Timothy out of their minds?
How did he have the audacity to agree to her ridiculous suggestion?
In a suggestive manner, Maya asked, âMs. Bowen, itâs not actually a big deal since we all know each
other.
But if you feel like itâs inconvenient for you, or you donât prefer our company, we can just forget it.â
Mia could tell that Maya was trying to prod her into taking her suggestion. Yet, she still took it.
She nodded swiftly as she answered, âIâm cool with it.â
She was not going to be intimidated by her.
The smile on Mayaâs face deepened as she glanced back at Timothy.
âLetâs go, Tim.â
