Upon hearing Connor’s words, Mia lowered her head and replied in a hushed tone, “Connor, I’ve


    already made up my mind to keep the babies.”


    To her, the twins growing in her belly were her family, entirely separate from Timothy.


    Connor gently patted Mia’s head, reassuring her, “Your brothers and I have sessful careers now,


    and we will certainly be able to support you and the twins in the future. You don’t need to push yourself


    so hard.”


    “I understand,” Mia replied.


    Deep down, she had alreadye to a decision. Once she fulfilled her credit requirements, she


    nned to graduate and leave this ce.


    After reaching home, Mia immediately went to freshen up to get ready for bed.


    In the marital vi, Timothy concluded his work in the study and made his way back to the bedroom.


    Taking a moment to inspect the coordinated outfit, he couldn’t help but frown upon seeing the red


    suit.


    Was this the ensemble Mia had arranged for him?


    If he hadn’t witnessed it personally, he wouldn’t have believed it.


    Without dy, Timothy called Mia, and she answered promptly. Unfazed by the call, Mia calmly


    inquired, “What’s the matter?”


    Exasperated, Timothy massaged his temples and asked, “Is this really the outfit you chose for me? It’s


    incredibly red. Are you color blind or something?”


    “I believe it suits you nicely. You’re not obliged to wear it if it’s not to your liking.”


    “Mia, I paid ten thousand dors for your expertise, and this is the result? Seriously?”


    With Timothy being so frustrated, Mia found it hard to suppress augh.


    However, sheposed herself and stated firmly, “As per our agreement, any modifications will


    not be considered once the payment has been made.”


    “Mia, is this how you treat your clients?”


    “No, but consider this a lesson. Perhaps it’s time to be more cautious when ites to trusting

    Having said her piece, Mia abruptly ended the call. Unable to contain herughter, she rolled in


    bed, thoroughly amused.


    epting the ten thousand dors proved to be a worthwhile decision for Mia.


    Timothy’s audacity was astounding, believing that he could use money as a tool to humiliate her.


    It was high time he learned the harsh realities of navigating a treacherous world.


    In a moment of frustration, Timothy shot an angry look at his phone and forcefully removed his


    tie. Mia seemed like a torment sent by the heavens to gue him.


    How could she audaciously charge him ten thousand dors for this?


    Timothy felt utterly foolish.


    The following day, Mia resumed her work. She contemted how to articte her resignation to


    Felix thoughtfully.


    Bncing her responsibilities at the studio and college became increasingly challenging as her


    belly continued to grow.


    Upon entering the studio, she discovered a vibrant bouquet of roses waiting on her desk.


    A jealous colleaguemented, “Mia, Mr. Quilter himself ced those on your desk. Even though he


    doesn’t permit us to discuss it, everyone around here is quite envious of you.”


    Mia’s expression grew uneasy. It was time she had a conversation with Felix to rify certain


    matters.


    Mia knocked on Felix’s office door, and he greeted her with a smile. “Mia, you’re here. What can I


    help you with?”


    “Felix, I’ve decided to resign.”


    In response to Mia’s announcement, Felix’s expression darkened.


    “Mia, are you upset because of the beverage mishap during yesterday’s lunch? I genuinely


    apologize for the oversight.


    “My mom is not ustomed to dining in upscale establishments and, as a result, was unfamiliar with


    thebels on the bottles. This led to her mistakenly assuming they were all the same.”


    “Felix, I understand that Mrs. Quilter made a mistake at lunch yesterday. However, my decision to


    resign is not based on that incident.

    “Lately, the academic workload has been piling up, and I’m finding it challenging to keep up.”


    Felix responded promptly. “If it’s too overwhelming, you don’t have toe to the studio to work.


    Remember our agreement? You can work when you have the time, and I won’t pressure you.”


    Mia hesitated for a moment before expressing, “I appreciate that, but it wouldn’t be fair to my


    colleagues.


    “I’ve been feeling quite tired recently and believe it’s best if I take a break. I can always return to work


    after graduating in the future.”
