Chapter 96

Mia didn’t want to sleep in the master bedroom because she thought Maya might have laid on that bed

before.

The next day, Mia woke up on time and went downstairs for breakfast. Holly had already prepared her

favorite

dishes for breakfast.

Upon entering the hall, she noticed that her wedding photo with Timothy was missing.

She felt rather disappointed, but the photo was probably taken down because it didn’t serve any

purpose

anymore.

As Mia sat down in the dining room, a tall figure walked in. Timothy was wearing a bespoke suit, and

he

looked very refined. He sat across from her.

Mia stopped eating her breakfast. She didn’t expect him to be here. Wasn’t he supposed to stay with

Maya

last night? Why did he come back so early?

Her gaze fell on his thin lips, and she thought about the kiss last night. She quickly averted her eyes.

The dining room was quiet.

Mia ate two bowls of oatmeal and some sandwiches.

Timothy couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “Why are you chowing down the food?”

Mia stopped eating when she heard that and said, “Mind your own business.”

Timothy’s gaze was fixed on her face, and he commented, “Your face has become rounder a bit.”

Mia said with surprise, “Really? I don’t feel it.”

Her appetite had increased quite a bit recently.

Timothy said in a calm tone, “Be careful not to gain weight, or else you can’t find a partner.”

She wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, “Maybe there are some men who like my type.”

“I doubt that’s the case.”

“Well, one can still dream.”

Mia didn’t want to waste time talking to Timothy. So, she took out her phone and replied to Laura’s

message, Grandma, did you see all these plates? I cleared all of them for breakfast. You should eat a

lot, too.”

Mia noticed that Timothy was staring at her as she sent the message. She asked, “Why are you looking

at me?

“You’re quite good at making my grandmother happy.”

“I just wanted to convince Grandma Laura that I am having breakfast here to ease her worries.”

Timothy’s expression darkened. He said, “Grandma’s health is deteriorating day by day.”

“I know. You need to arrange for her to have surgery as soon as possible.”

As Mia turned to leave. Timothy asked. “Are you willing to do anything just so that she can undergo

surgery?”

Mia paused in her steps, turned around, and said, “Yes, what do you need me to do?”

At that moment. Timothy regretted the fact that he hadn’t discussed the matter in detail with Maya

yesterday.

Maya mentioned last time that as long as Timothy divorced Mia, Connor would be willing to perform the

surgery for Laura.

“I’ll let you know in a bit,” Timothy said with a grim expression.

“Okay.” Mia didn’t probe any further. She turned and left the house.

She was feeling very conflicted. Thus, she took half a day off to go home and rest.

As soon as Mia returned home, she saw Connor lying on the sofa, still in his work clothes. He looked

like he had just returned from work.

Mia gently closed the door and put a blanket on Connor.

But Connor woke up immediately. “Mia, you’re back. You don’t have to work so hard on weekdays.

Working overnight is bad for your health.”

Mia knew Patricia must have told Connor that she was working overtime at the company.

She didn’t try to explain herself and simply said, “Okay, I get it.”

Connor yawned while saying, “You should get some rest and eat something delicious for lunch.”

Mia nodded. She glanced at Connor’s ringing phone on the sofa. “Connor, you have a call.”

‘I got it. You should rest up.”

Connor took a glance at the phone. He only answered Maya’s call when Mia disappeared into the

bedroom. ”

Hello. What’s up?”

‘I’ve something urgent to discuss with you, Connor,” Maya said.
