She wasn’t divorced yet, and she was pregnant with Timothy’s child. It would be impossible for Janice
to ept her, given how much she cherished Felix.

Nheless, she hadn’t had the chance to break it to Janice yet, especially when Timothy was
with them.
Her heart skipped a beat when Janice tried to set her up with Felix in front of Timothy, who was about
to be her ex–husband. She let out an awkwardugh.
“Mrs. Quilter, the food’s here. Let’s eat first.”
“Mia, why are you shy and embarrassed? It’s not like we don’t know each other. And what a
coincidence that your cousin’s here, and he finally met Felix. There’s nothing wrong, is there? Why
are you being evasive? Isn’t it just a matter of time before you and Felix meet both your families?”
How Mia wished she could turn invisible right now. What on earth was Janice going on about?
She only went out with Felix for a meal to thank him for helping her out. That was it.
Janice made it sound like she’d been dating Felix, and they were about to meet each other’s
parents.
Timothy smirked, asking, “Really? Mia, I didn’t know you were dating someone.”
Timothy’s words sent a shiver down Mia’s spine, but Janice was quick to answer, “Mr. Barrett, you have
no idea. Last time when Mia was abducted, it was Felix who saved her. He was event hospitalized
because he was injured by the criminals. Isn’t it obvious that he has feelings for her?”
Felix shed a smile, interrupting, “Mom, let’s eat first. Stop talking about that. I didn’t really help
muchst time.”
“Felix, why are you so humble? You’re literally her savior! It’s only right for her to return the favor
by marrying you.”
Mia was
was dumbfounded. What the hell was she talking about now?
“Saved her life?”
Timothy’s deep voice resonated across the table. Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, Mia suddenly found
herself at a loss for words. An awkward smile spread across her face.
He pressed his lips together before continuing, “Mia, ording to my knowledge, I came with at
+15 BONOS
instead?”
Mia tried hard to resist her urge to dart out the door. How was she going to defend herself now?
As expected, Janice gasped, “A helicopter? This This sounds like what happens in movies.”
Mia forced a smile, replying.“A helicopter’s more efficient.”
“It must be expensive then. A single ride will cost an arm and a leg, I bet.”
Timothy answered nonchntly. “Paying 10,000 dors for a single ride is alright.”
“10,000 dors!” Janice squealed, her voice going up an octave.
The look in her eyes changed slightly when she set eyes on Timothy again. She didn’t expect him
to be this wealthy.
Meanwhile, Felix was unfazed. After all, he knew Timothy was the CEO of Barrett Group, and hel didn’t
seem to be bothered by the fare of a single helicopter ride at all.
Nheless, he was surprised that Timothy went to save Mia personally. She’d never brought this up
in front of him. Could it be that she still didn’tpletely trust him?
Felix was determined to coax her into trusting himpletely.
Since Timothy was willing to rescue Mia, it seemed like she was on good terms with her Barrett
rtives. If Felix really managed to marry Mia, his status would be elevated.
