Upon hearing Timothy''s confident tone, Mia was ovee with guilt. After all, she had been sleeping


    alone all these years, and no one had ever mentioned her poor sleeping posture.


    But admitting that she had willingly cuddled up to him felt too embarrassing.


    Mia retorted, "That was then, this is now. My current sleeping habits are fine. You must have leaned on


    me on purpose while I was asleep.”


    If she didn''t adhere to moral standards, nobody could use morality against her.


    As they argued, a flight attendant intervened, "Ms. Lane, Mr. Barrett, the ne is about to begin its


    descent. Please adjust your seats and fasten your seat belts.”


    Upon the flight attendant''s arrival, Mia finally stopped talking and silently adjusted her seat, fastening


    her seatbelt.


    Soon, the ne touched down at Nord City International Airport. Seeing the familiar surroundings, Mia


    reached for the box beside her and opened it to ensure the bone marrow was safely inside. Only then


    did she breathe a sigh of relief.


    As the ne came to a stop, Mia peeked out the window. Upon spotting the people waiting for her


    arrival, she felt her body stiffen. Turning to Timothy, she asked, "Are you sure you want to disembark


    with me?"


    Mia was taken aback by how quickly her brothers had arrived.


    She was convinced that if Timothy came down with her, it could escte into a violent confrontation


    later, potentially resulting in Timothy getting injured.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    After all, they were now in Nord City, a far cry from Bern City, which was under the control of the Barrett


    family. Adding to the tension, Mia''s brothers harbored a long-standing grudge against the Barretts.


    Timothy calmly sorted through the documents on the table. "Will there be an issue if I apany you?"


    Pointing outside, Mia said, "Look, my brothers are here. For your own safety, it''s better if you stay on


    the ne. You cane down after we''ve left."


    Timothy couldn''t help but notice a car parked on the tarmac, apanied by several men who


    seemed oddly familiar.


    With a narrowed gaze, Timothy expressed his concern, "But now you''re my girlfriend, and you were


    even my ex-wife once. Is my identity something to hide?"


    It seemed like Timothy was oblivious to the situation.


    Observing his confident stance, Mia hesitated before responding, "Mr. Barrett, when I mentioned being


    your girlfriend, it was meant as a joke. I didn''t anticipate you taking it seriously.”


    Timothy''s frown deepened. "What do you mean?"


    His expression resembled that of someone scrutinizing a scoundrel, suspicion clouding his features.


    Mia cleared her throat and continued, “Mr. Barrett, as adults, we''re ustomed to yful banter, and


    I''m sure you''ve encountered it before. There''s no need for me to spell it out. It''s all in good fun, after all.


    rifying it might just spoil the humor, wouldn''t you agree?"


    "Mia, I don''t joke around when ites to rtionships,” Timothy said firmly.


    “Then let''s just treat it as a lighthearted joke between us, alright? Mr. Barrett, we''re all here to have a


    good time. If you take it seriously, that''s on you."


    Mia felt it was crucial to address certain matters immediately. If her brothers caught wind of her actions


    in Bern City, they''d surely reprimand her. Mia realized she needed to end things with Timothy before


    disembarking the ne!


    As her words faded, Timothy replied in a serious tone, "Mia, I cannot agree to break up. You also have


    a responsibility toward me." Responsibility? Did she hear him correctly?
