Just then, Mia’s attention was diverted by an untimely voice. She turned her head toward the entrance


    and spotted a familiar face.


    More precisely, two familiar faces–of a grown–up and a toddler.


    Mia watched as Luna entered the restaurant, holding hands with a young boy. He appeared to be


    around Ginger’s age, sparking her curiosity.


    Mia couldn’t help but steal a nce at Timothy, wondering how he would navigate the situation.


    Despite this, Timothy remained unmoved, cradling Ginger in his arms. His brow furrowed upon spotting


    Luna and Asher, a sight he hadn’t anticipated


    at the restaurant.


    Ginger clung tightly to him, as though fearing someone might snatch her


    away.


    As Luna observed Timothy holding Ginger, a trace of resentment flickered in her eyes. It bothered her


    that Asher never received such attention from Timothy.


    Why was Monalize’s daughter being favored by him?


    Suppressing her animosity, Luna approached Timothy with Asher. Looking down at Asher, she


    instructed, “Asher, say hello to Uncle Tim.”


    As Asher nced up at Timothy, he appeared somewhat fearful, hiding behind Luna as he softly


    uttered, “Hello, Uncle Tim.”


    Luna shot Asher an exasperated look, wondering why he couldn’t be as outgoing as Ginger. He


    seemed so timid; what a spineless boy!

    With a stoic expression, Timothy inquired, “Are you and Asher here for dinner? I heard he was sick a


    few days ago.”


    Luna’s eyes widened in surprise. She hadn’t expected Timothy to be aware of Asher’s illness. Despite


    his aloof demeanor, it was clear that he still paid.


    attention to Asher.


    With a smile, Luna replied, “Yes, that’s because the previous nanny failed to properly care for Asher.


    Thankfully, Mrs. Barrett has sent a reliable nanny from the Barrett residence to look after him now. So,


    even when I’m


    upied, I can trust Asher is in good hands.”


    Timothy frowned in response. “Taking care of Asher is your responsibility!”


    Luna’s expression momentarily froze, but she quickly replied, “I


    understand.”


    Despite this, she felt somewhat reluctant. Bing a nanny for Asher wasn’t her aspiration; it was


    precisely why she had spent four years meticulously nning.


    But just as Laura seemed to be at death’s door, Monalize suddenly appeared.


    Mia approached gracefully in her high heels, a subtle smile on her face. “Ms. Maynard, is this your


    son? He looks to be about the same age as my daughter.”


    “Yes, what a coincidence. Asher, this is Aunt Monalize, Uncle Tim’s girlfriend. Please greet her politely.”


    Nheless, Asher appeared hesitant. Noticing this, Luna discreetly


    pinched his arm, her expression darkening slightly.


    Sensing the tension, Mia intervened, “Let’s not force Asher. Ms. Maynard, were you nning to meet


    someone for dinner?”


    “No. Since Asher has just recovered, I thought I’d take him out for a meal.”


    “Well, given that we’ve all coincidentally ended up here, why don’t we dine together? It would be nice


    for Ginger to have a ymate and not be bored alone,” Mia deliberately suggested, stealing a nce at


    Timothy.


    Nestled in his arms, Ginger nodded obediently. “Okay.”


    With her keen perception, Ginger swiftly picked up on the situation. Though she didn’t understand Mia’s


    motives, she knew there was a reason behind


    the invitation.


    Upon hearing Ginger’s agreement, Timothy didn’t voice any objections. Nheless, he couldn’t help


    but shoot Mia a meaningful nce. He hadn’t expected her to take the initiative to invite Luna to dinner


    with them.
