The dark look in Timothy’s eyes grew intense as he stared at Mia. She was familiar, yet unfamiliar to


    him at the same time. A hint of mixed emotions flickered in his eyes.


    As the three of them took their seats in the private room, tension hung in the air.


    Timothy took out his phone and saw the text she sent this morning. She was asking whether he was


    free


    tomorrow.


    He replied, “Yes.”


    Mia’s phone lit up. She thought Connor and Liam were here, so she hurriedly grabbed her phone. Yet,

    froze midway.


    She sneaked a nce at Timothy, who was sitting right across her. Was he replying to her message


    now?


    With an indifferent expression, Timothy set his phone aside. He acted cool as if he wasn’t the one who


    was replying to her messages earlier on.


    Mia was bewildered. She had no idea what was going on in his mind.


    All she did was ask whether he was free to proceed with the divorce. Yet, he made it seem like they


    had


    something between them.


    Maya put down the menu and asked, “Ms. Bowen, where’s your partner?”


    “He’s almost here.”

    Mia set her phone down. Connor and Liam mentioned they were on the way now. However, the


    pretty bad.


    Silence lingered in the room as none of them spoke. It was quite awkward.


    All of a sudden, Maya said, “Timothy, I contacted my brother. He’s volunteering for the Red Cross


    overseas at the e moment. I’ll ask him toe to Nord City as soon as possible.”


    Nodding his head, Timothy replied, “Alright.”


    He nced over at Mia. Her gaze was glued to her phone. It seemed like she was busy texting


    someone.


    Mia was aware that Maya was hinting at her when she brought up Laura’s surgery. Well, she was going


    to


    clear things up with Timothy tomorrow, after all.


    Soon, someone opened the door.


    “Mia, sorry for beingte.”


    A man with exquisite features made his entrance. He had a delicate piece of cake in his hands, which

    When Mia saw Liam, she got up with a smile.


    “It’s fine. I know the traffic is always bad during peak hours.”


    “This is for you. I’m not sure which vor you preferred, but this is one of their best-sellers.”


    Instinctively, Mia swallowed hard when she saw the cake.


    “How did you know I’ve been eyeing this for some time?”


    Due to her pregnancy, her tastes had changed drastically. Lately, she was very invested in desserts


    and cakes.


    “I saw you posting about it on Instagram.”


    Beaming at him, Mia thanked him as she took the cake.


    Timothy looked like someone had punched the living daylights out of him when he heard their


    conversation. This man again!


    Slightly astonished, Maya eximed, “I envy your rtionship.”


    Setting the cake aside, Mia replied airily, “I don’t need the tter.”


    After all, she had six brothers.


    Liam took a seat beside Mia. When he nced up, his eyes met Timothy. He took an orange and


    started peeling it for her as he averted his gaze.


    “You need to eat more fruits for their vitamins, It’s better for your skin.”


    “Sure. Does my skin look drytely?”


    Mia’s fingers brushed past her face gently. She couldn’t use most of the skincare products due to her


    pregnancy, so she felt like her skin was quite dry.


    When Liam’s fingers grazed past her face, he replied, “I think it’s fine.”


    Mia could tell that someone was ring at her. Out of the corner of her eye, she knew it was Timothy.


    However, she nced down at the orange before her and didn’t even spare him a nce.


    Despite having Liam in the group, the atmosphere wasn’t any better.


    Mia even felt like it was getting more and more unpleasant.


    Just then, her phone lit up briefly. She was sure Connor had probably arrived.
