Timothy’s expression was a little stiff as he shot back, “You talk too much as an assistant.”
Heath kept quiet, but he was still puzzled.
He recalled the divorce agreement Timothy had asked him to prepare. It clearly stated that Timothy
would continue to handle James’ medical bills.
Why had Timothy suddenly changed his mind?
Men were hard to understand.
“Just do as I say,” Timothy ordered icily.
He thought he must have been too kind toward Mia all along. That was why she had the audacity to
cheat on him!
Mia, who had just returned to the hotel, sneezed. She wondered if someone had been cursing her out.
When she went back to the room with breakfast in hand, she found that Dominic was there as well. The
table was alsoden with an exquisite breakfast spread with all kinds of food imaginable.
Mia nced between the simple breakfast she had bought and the feast on the table.
Feeling a little embarrassed, she said, “I couldn’t sleep, so I went out and had my breakfast. I bought
some for you guys as well since the food in this hotel is quite expensive.”
“This is aplimentary breakfast. I know someone in the hotel.”
Dominic came up with an excuse as an exnation. He’d been so focused on ordering breakfast that
he forgot about the identity he’d assumed in front of her and nearly exposed himself.
Mia didn’t get suspicious. After setting down the bagels she bought, she left to tell Patricia breakfast
was ready.
Dominic took the bagels and secretly snapped a photo of them. Then, he sent it to the family group
chat named “One Big Happy Family”. “Mia bought breakfast for me. What a great day it is.”
Nathan: You’re shameless. How can you get Mia to spend money on you?
Connor: I agree. You’re so shameless… Unless Mia buys me breakfast, too.

Dominic’s wife, Eva Delgado, also sent a message. “There’s still an hour before our flightnds. Your
three younger cousins are also on the same flight. Don’t let them snatch Mia away.”
After thinking about it, Dominic shared his thoughts with the others in the group chat. He didn’t want his
younger brothers to let the cat out of the bag either. ude, Jason, and Liam had to be informed as
well.
When Mia had gone missing, ude, Jason, and Liam started distancing themselves from Dominic,
Nathan,
1/2:
Now that they had found Mia again, Dominic hoped that the six male cousins could mend their
rtionship
with each other.
Soon, Mia led Patricia over to the table.
When Patricia saw the food, her heart ached at the thought of how much money had been spent.
Mia quickly exined, “The food was free. With how expensive the rates are at this hotel, it’s only
reasonable
that they give a ton ofplimentary food.”
Patricia didn’t doubt Mia’s exnation.
Just then, Dominic’s phone rang. The name on the screen was Maya.
Dominic felt a little guilty as he quickly rejected the call.
After losing Mia back then, they spent years searching for her. The final clue had led them to an
orphanage, but all they found was a young girl the same age as Mia.
The other children who had been kidnapped had all been imed by their families. Mia was the only
one
whose whereabouts were unknown, and there was one other young girl who hadn’t been taken home
yet.
For the sake of appeasing their grandmother, who was a little mentally unstable, they had to take the
young
girl back to the Lane family. She became their younger sister’s recement so that her presence would
comfort their aging grandmother.
Due to that, their rtionship with ude, Jason, and Liam grew distant.
Now that Mia, his biological younger sister, had been found, Dominic felt awkward. He dared not tell
Maya as
he feared she would get mad at him for this. She was already not that close to him, to begin with!
Still, Dominic’s phone kept ringing, and Mia eyed him curiously. “Your phone keeps ringing.”
“Someone probably got the wrong number.”
Dominic was very tempted to throw his phone away. What was the point of keeping it?
“But the person keeps calling.” Miamented doubtfully. “It must be for something urgent:”
Since Dominic couldn’t avoid the situation any longer, he walked out to the balcony with his phone.
Once he was sure Mia wouldn’t overhear the conversation, he answered the call and asked stiffly.
“Yes? What is it?”
“Dominic, I heard that you came to Bern City on business! Why didn’t you tell me?” Maya eximed
excitedly.
“Oh, yeah. I have something to attend to,” Dominic replied vaguely.
“Since you’re here, Dominic, can you help me with something? I have a friend whose grandma is in
poor health. She needs to get surgery, and Connor’s the only one who has a 100% sess rate with
this surgery, but he keeps refusing to do it.”
