Suddenly, Mia felt something cold sealing her mouth shut, causing her eyes to widen instantly. She


    couldn’t believe Timothy was kissing her.


    In that instant, her mind went nk, and she felt numb all over.


    They had been married for three years, and aside from that one idental encounter, there had been


    no physical contact between them.


    They hadn’t even held hands, let alone kissed, yet here Timothy was, kissing her forcefully.


    What was his intention behind this?


    As Mia realized the situation, she tried to push Timothy away, but he effortlessly countered her


    attempts.


    Mia’s hands remained pressed against Timothy’s chest, where she could feel the rapid thud of his


    heartbeat beneath her palms. It seemed to be beating a little faster than usual.


    Timothy’s breath grew somewhat ragged, seemingly caught up in the intoxicating sensation of her lips.


    Mia felt as though she were in a daze, everything appearing unreal, like a dream.


    As her eyes fluttered open, she saw Timothy’s face inching closer; she couldn’t help but notice his


    nervous demeanor.


    “Stop it! What’s going on here?” Maya’s voice suddenly emerged from behind, breaking the tension.


    between them.


    Upon hearing Maya entering from behind the curtain, Timothy frowned and stopped his advances


    abruptly.


    Seizing the opportunity, Mia shoved him away and quickly retreated a few steps, her eyes wide with


    disbelief.


    A faint pink hue tinged his handsome profile, and the cor of his shirt bore wrinkles from her grip.


    His eyes retained their intense darkness, while a subtle gloss adorned his lips.


    Mia found herself momentarily captivated by Timothy’s charming appearance. His low, ragged breath


    echoed in her ears, teasing her nerves ever so slightly.


    She couldn’t grasp the fact that Timothy had just forcibly kissed her!


    With tears in her eyes, Maya spoke up, “Tim, what were you two doing just now? Did Mia shamelessly


    initiate the kiss?”

    Upon hearing Maya’s usation, Mia burst outughing in disbelief.


    She couldn’t believe that Maya was suggesting she had made the first move!


    Mia’s anger surged instantly as she advanced toward Timothy.


    With raised eyebrows, Timothy observed her, his lips disying a hint of amusement as she drew near.


    In the next moment, Mia seized the loosened tie around Timothy’s neck and pressed herself against his


    chest, ring defiantly at Maya.


    “Regardless of who initiated it, Timothy and I are legally married. Sharing a kiss behind this stage


    curtain doesn’t constitute indecency. It’s not illegal, is it?” Mia asserted confidently.


    Timothy met Mia’s gaze as she held him tightly in her embrace.


    Despite feeling a bit ufortable with his tie constricting him, he inclined his head slightly, seemingly


    cooperating with Mia’s gesture and affirming her statement.


    Maya was infuriated. “Mia, stop fabricating stories! Timothy would never kiss you!”


    Mia turned sharply, her gaze meeting Timothy’s with a yful smile. “Darling, Ms. Lane seems


    skeptical. Why don’t you enlighten her? Perhaps that will dispel her doubts once and for all!”


    Mia was determined to make things challenging for Maya; she wanted to see how Timothy would


    exin their kiss to her.


    Timothy lowered his gaze, a smile hiding in the depths of his eyes. “I don’t believe exnations would


    be very convincing.”


    “Well, what would you like to-


    Before Mia couldplete her sentence. Timothy suddenly interrupted her with a kiss, causing her


    eyes to widen in disbelief, appearing puzzled by his unexpected gesture.


    To Mia’s astonishment, Timothy kissed her once more, right in front of Maya.


    Witnessing the scene unfold, Maya was overwhelmed with anger and jealousy, tears streaming down


    her


    face as her lips trembled. “How could you… Tim, how could you do this to me?”
