Chapter 1031


    Cocking her brow, Mia looked at Timothy.


    She wondered if Timothy really thought that she was going to forgive him and reconcile with him.


    His gaze gave his thoughts away.


    That was exactly what he was thinking!


    Was she such an easy person to him?


    Timothy''s eyes were still fixated on her. "Mia, you''re indeed special to me, and I realized it toote. You''re not a mere decoration. I was happier than anyone else after knowing you were still alive. Because this is the only chance I can make up for my mistakes."


    She drew in a deep breath. "But why couldn''t I see that in the beginning?"


    "I''m dense when ites to rtionships. Overconfident too. I''ve never treated a woman this special before, so I''m afraid to face the change," Timothy admitted.


    Her heart skipped a beat and she couldn''t meet his eyes. "At that time, I did like you but it was none of your business. You don''t have to think that you''ve let me down and feel guilty about it," she said. Timothy''s hand rested on her shoulder. "Mia, I''m a loser in rtionships. You deserved so much more than I did back then. You were honest and responsible in the rtionship."


    She scoffed, "Oh, don''t put it that way. My feelings for you were a burden to you, remember?"


    It pained his heart to hear that. "No, you weren''t the problem. I was. I was a jerk."


    Mia couldn''t understand her emotions right now.


    Immediately, she reined those strange feelings in so she wouldn''t be deceived by his fluttering words.


    She knew all too well how capable he was.


    Back then, he had a string of wins when it came to business negotiations.


    Mia stretched her hand out to cup his cheek. "Mr. Barrett."


    He held his breath as he stared at her intently. "Yes?" His voice was shaking.


    Right now, as long as she could ept him, he would agree to any of her requests. No matter how obscure they could be.


    Mia studied the handsome face


    Yeaveler. Age didn''t seem to leave


    its mark on his face even though five


    s had passed. Coelongs


    He became more mature instead.


    She firmly believed that every woman would fall for him wherever he went.


    She patted his cheek lightly. "Mr. Barrett, I ept your words. I agreed with what you said when we were divorced. That you would regret it After all, I''m such a capable woman. It''s normal for you to fall for But.."


    "But what?" His self-confidence deted.


    me.


    Like a suspect waiting for his final judgment, he waited for what she had to say.


    He had never felt this anxious before.


    She stared at him, her eyes reflecting a tranquility and calmness like never before.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    In the face of her reaction, the anticipation in his eyes slowly faded, giving way to worries.


    He grabbed her hand helplessly, begging, "Don''t say it. I don''t feel like knowing the answer anymore."


    As though fire was burning his hand, he quickly released her.


    Feeling light on her shoulders, she raised her head to look at him.


    However, she couldn''t read his


    expression because he had turned


    sideways.


    ?


    She took a deep breath. "Timothy, things were over between us a long time ago. You actually don''t have to-"


    "It''s gettingte. Let me take you home," he interrupted and grabbed his coat from the chair.


    He seemed to be escaping, both physically and mentally.


    Watching his back, she was at a loss for words.


    She had her doubts.


    Would a man like Timothy actually fall for a woman?
