Chapter 83
Meet My Brothers
Mia was utterly puzzled. What did Timothy mean by that?
In a hushed tone, he continued, âWhy? Am I right? So you canât deny it, canât you? And I thought youâre
always so good with your words.â
Mia attempted to break free from his grip. Yet, his strength was too overpowering for her to struggle her
way
out.
Well, she would just play along, then.
She could no longer care less.
Tugging on his tie, she snapped, âMr. Barrett, I wasnât two-timing! Iâve never asked you out.â
âDidnât you text me yesterday? Did you forget about it?â
âOh, that,â Mia replied as she glanced up at him. âThatâs different.â
âHow is that different? Go on, try and talk yourself out of this again. The rumors are circulating all over
the
internet. Do you think Iâm blind?â
She tilted her head to the side, her fingers twirling around his tie as she said, âIf thatâs what you think,
thereâs nothing I can do either.â
Timothy was dumbfounded. That sounded like what he always said back then.
Nonetheless, he glared at her and said, âDo you need me to remind you again that youâre still a married
woman? Are you that eager to two-time someone when you havenât even got a divorce? Are you not
worried
that youâre going to end up in trouble?â
âOh, thanks for your reminder. Well, two-timing might get me into trouble, but that wonât be the case if I
date
more than two men at once, right?â
Infuriated, Timothy snapped, âMia Bowen, why did I not know youâre such a despicable woman?â
âBecause weâre just not meant for each other. So, Mr. Barrett, are you free tomorrow? Just drop by at
the
courthouse before you go to work, will you?â
He froze and eventually loosened his grip on her.
âAre you that eager to proceed with the divorce so you could live happily ever with your new
boyfriend?â
When Mia heard him, she stood up straight and retorted, âI donât care about your opinion. Thereâs no
need for me to explain to you.â
No matter how she explained herself, he wouldnât believe her. Thus, she didnât see the need to explain.
Timothy noticed the crib beside her. He suddenly recalled she was taking folic acid tablets as well.
His expression became grim as he stiffened his lips.

âAre you pregnant?â
Miaâs expression changed drastically. How did he know?
Her heart skipped a beat. It sent chills down her spine, and she was suddenly at a loss for words.
She remembered him mentioning that he didnât want any children.
If he found out about her pregnancy, he would definitely stop her from giving birth. Moreover, Sharon
also mentioned that she preferred Maya to bear her grandchildren.
Timothyâs expression turned solemn when he noticed her reaction.
âAnswer me!â
Swallowing hard, Mia was utterly clueless about how to answer him.
As he leaned closer to her, his hand was propped against the crib beside her as he pestered her. âYou
were taking folic acid tablets, and youâre now checking out cribs. Did you think youâre doing a good job
at hiding your pregnancy?â
Mia froze on the spot. It turned out that he did find out about the folic acid bottle she lost at the marital
home.
She glanced at the cribs and blurted. âOne of my clients needs a crib. I also gave you guys a crib last
time. This brand has been having promotions lately.â
Timothyâs gaze was fixated on her as he pondered on her words.
âMia, although we agreed on a divorce, we havenât proceeded with the procedures yet. Do you know
what the
consequences are if you dare to get pregnant?â @
Mia stared right back at him as she retorted, âEnlighten me, then. If Iâm pregnant with your child, what
will you
do?â
He snapped, âAbort it!â
He didnât have the heart to allow her to give birth to someone elseâs child when they were still a couple.
Miaâs heart sank. She wasnât surprised with his answer at all.
His principle was the same as back then. He wouldnât let her give birth to his child because she simply
wasnât
worthy. Only Maya, who was from a prestigious family, deserved to bear his children.
As Mia hid the hurt look in her eyes, she replied calmly, âRest assured. It wonât happen.â
She vowed to never let him know about his child.
âItâd better be!â Timothy snapped before he turned around and took his leave.
With an impatient expression, he strode in front of the crowd. Others exchanged glances, speculating
about his relationship with Mia.
They didnât see what happened since he dragged her into a corner.

They were extremely curious.
Heath was the only one who saw the look on Timothyâs face. He knew things were going to take a turn
for the worse.
Ever since Timothy mentioned a divorce, Mia changed completely. It was a piece of cake for her to piss
him off.
