Mia raised her brow. “Laura wasn’t saying that she would only get the surgery done once I was
pregnant. She wants you to have a baby. You’re not getting any younger, and you might be too old for it
in the future.”
“Did you just call me old, Mia?”
“That’s not the point, Mr. Barrett. If you want to persuade Laura to get the surgery done, you should
knock someone up as soon as possible. Many women would love to carry your child. Sleep with a
different woman every night, and one of them is bound to get pregnant.”
Timothy frowned. “What makes you think I’m someone like that?”
Sleep with a different woman every night? Who did she think he was>
“When pushes to shove, Maya is avable. You two are a match made in heaven so of course,
you should get married and build a family with her.”
Mia looked at Timothy defiantly.
Mia’s words did not make Timothy happy. Instead, it annoyed him further. He let go of Mia. “I want to
build a family with my legal wife.”
“Then let’s visit the city council tomorrow. We finalize the divorce procedures. Then, you marry Maya
right away. She will be your legal wife.”
“You’re doing all this just to tell me that you want to get rid of me as soon as possible so that you can
marry your new boyfriend.” Timothy was peeved. His feet identally stepped on a bottle, which
prompted him to
look down.
That bottle looked like something that came out of Mia’s bag.
Mia panicked and tried to retrieve the bottle but Timothy was faster than her.
Mia tried to snatch the bottle from him. “It’s mine.”
Timothy raised his arm and looked at Mia. “Is it something I shouldn’t know? Because you seem to
care a lot
about it.”
Mia watched with widened eyes as Timothy toyed with the bottle.
Her anxious expression made Timothy believe that something was off about the bottle.
What could it be? Birth control pills?
Timothy then read thebel-vitamins. His facial expression rxed. “It’s just vitamins. Why are you
kicking up a fuss? You know, you shouldn’t take vitamins. You should take supplements that make you
smarter.”
Mia grabbed the bottle of folic acid from Timothy’s hands. Luckily, she had swapped the bottle on her
way here.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to exin the whole situation. She stashed the bottle away
with her

With the bag in her hands, Mia said, “I should go now. If theye here again, just kick them out.”
“They’lle back to pester you?”
Mia looked at Timothy, stunned. Was Timothy concerned about her?
Timothy then exined in an awkward tone. “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want the fiasco today to
happen again. I hate having strangers over.”
Mia knew it. She continued softly, “I’ll deal with them.” She then left the mansion without looking back.
Timothy stood in the same spot and watched Mia disappear. He sat on the couch and rubbed his
temples. Hadn’t he made the hint obvious enough?
He was w
waiting for Mia toe to him and ask for help. He could easily get rid of Mary and Mildred but Mia
never asked him to intervene. Moreover, Mia said that she would deal with them herself. But how?
Oh, she was probably turning to her new boyfriend.
Tch.
A contemptuous look appeared on Timothy’s face, though it was unsure what he sniggered at.
Suddenly, Heath scurried to his side. “Mr. Barrett, people are still waiting for you in the conference
room.”
Moments ago, Timothy was in an important meeting. He’d received a call from home and dropped
everything he was doing to rush back.
Timothy collected himself and stood up. He shouldn’t havee back at all.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
All of a sudden, his fingers grazed against another capsule bottle.
Timothy lifted it and read.
Folic acid?
Timothy peered at the bottle in his palm and asked Heath, “What is this for?”
