Mia was determined to settle the score with that troublesome Timothy at a later time!

With Claude finally driving away, Mia let out a sigh of relief.

Glancing toward the nearby restaurant, she couldn't help but think about Timothy's strange behavior just moments ago, which left her puzzled.

What exactly did Timothy want to say earlier?

After a moment of contemplation, Mia felt her mind swirling with thoughts. Nonetheless, she eventually managed to gather herself, determined not to let Timothy's words shake her.

Upon returning home, Mia went straight to bed.

Lately, she had been experiencing growing fatigue, especially as her bump started growing day by day. She could already feel discomfort when bending or squatting down.

Gently touching her abdomen, Mia realized she needed to start making arrangements to depart as soon as possible.

The following day, Mia headed to campus for her scheduled classes.

After her lectures, Riley approached Mia. "Mia, Mr. Shaw asked to see you in

    Timothy looked up, his brow creasing slightly. "What are you doing here?""Tim, I tried calling you last night, but you didn't answer. I told you I had important matters to discuss. Why didn't you call me back?" Sharon entered the office, visibly agitated.Timothy remained composed. "I had some pressing matters to attend to."Sharon settled onto the sofa, her designer handbag clutched tightly in her hand. "Tim, I heard you've finalized the divorce and transferred all your shares to Mia. Is that true?"Timothy realized that Sharon must have learned this information from Maya. He wasn't comfortable with others knowing about his divorce; it was a blow to his pride.Maintaining a stoic demeanor, Timothy confirmed, "Yes, that's correct."However, Timothy couldn't ignore the fact that he hadn't thoroughly reviewed the property settlement agreement for the divorce and had merely signed it at the time."Tim, how could you be so oblivious? Don't you understand the significance of handing

    Timothy's frustration was evident as he tugged at his tie. Looking at the prenuptial agreement laid out before him, he felt as though he had just been dealt a harsh blow.Nonetheless, what was even more exasperating was that every time he accused Mia of being materialistic, she never bothered to refute it.With a heavy heart, Timothy closed his eyes, haunted by memories of Mia's attempts to explain herself, knowing deep down he had never fully trusted her words.Timothy had always prided himself on his ability to understand people and their motives, yet with Mia, he found himself faltering.This left him feeling not just unsettled but also weighed down by a sense of guilt."Tim, what's bothering you? I had a talk with Mia in the university hall yesterday. She wouldn't dare to mention that property settlement agreement again."Releasing his grip, Timothy's gaze darkened. "What exactly did you say to her?""Well, I handed Mia the divorce papers for her review, or more precisely, a

    Seeing Laura's excitement about her babies, Mia felt torn.If she were to suddenly disappear in the future, Laura would undoubtedly be devastated and consumed with worry for Mia and her twins.Hence, why not disclose the "truth" to Laura at this moment?Mia considered disclosing to Laura that her pregnancy had been a pretense, fabricated solely to persuade her into undergoing surgery.Despite the likelihood of Laura being upset, Mia reasoned that revealing the truth before leaving Bern City could alleviate Laura's future sadness."Mia, what did you want to say?" Laura asked.Caught in her tender gaze, Mia's eyes welled up with tears. "Grandma, there's something I need to confess. I've been deceiving you all this time. The truth is, I was never—""Grandma!" Timothy's firm voice cut off Mia's sentence abruptly.He pushed the door to the ward open and entered, his footsteps drew closer until he stopped beside her.Mia's breath caught as she turned to find Timothy in a pinstripe s

    Upon hearing this, Mia stared at Timothy incredulously.Was Timothy oblivious to her attempts to make things easier for him? After all, he used to detest it when Laura arranged for them to spend time together.Nevertheless, now that Timothy had agreed, Mia felt compelled to go along with it.She could only stand and say, "Grandma, I'll come see you again next time.""Go ahead, don't forget to snap some pictures of your selections. If my legs were in better condition, I'd love to accompany you and personally pick out items for the baby."Timothy chimed in, "Grandma, once you're feeling better, we'll have many chances to do that."Upon hearing Timothy's words, Mia glanced at him, a trace of doubt flickering in her eyes.Wasn't Timothy under the impression that the babies in her belly belonged to someone else? Why would he utter such misleading words to Laura?The pair exited the ward together, walking silently side by side.Mia couldn't resist breaking the silence. "In the futur

    Mia remembered asking Timothy numerous times before, yet he remained adamant about not keeping her twins.This fueled Mia's urgency to leave Bern City and distance herself from him.Timothy furrowed his brow, appearing somewhat puzzled by Mia's remark. Was she hinting at the idea of having children with him someday?Timothy reassured her solemnly, "I won't have any biological children. You can trust me on that."After all, the two children Mia carried were enough for him.Mia's breath caught momentarily. She pressed her lips together, preparing to ask more questions.However, before she could speak, Martha caught up and interrupted, "Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Barrett, you're still here?"Mia quickly released Timothy's arm and glanced up at him, unable to ignore his remarkably handsome appearance.She locked eyes with his deep, unreadable gaze. Then, Timothy softly tapped her forehead and said, "Let's go."The faint sensation of Timothy's fingertips lingered on Mia's forehead as she qu

    But that was exactly the problem!Feeling anxious, Mia was about to say something when Timothy suddenly wrapped his arm around her shoulder, his large hand firmly gripping her arm, pulling her almost into an embrace.As Mia's cheek rested against his chest, she could feel the slight stiffness and roughness of Timothy's suit jacket.In a whisper, he said, "Stay still, Martha is watching us."Confused, Mia discreetly glanced out of the corner of her eye and indeed spotted Martha standing nearby, covertly observing them.Quickly averting her gaze, Mia asked, "What's Martha doing?""It's likely Grandma's orders. Your behavior earlier raised her suspicions, so she sent Martha to keep an eye on us. Let's continue ahead and avoid looking back to prevent arousing any suspicion."Mia obediently followed Timothy as they strolled together. "Can we please have fewer people following us? I'm not used to it," she whispered.Timothy signaled to Heath beside him, and soon all the people tailin

    Timothy cradled the tiny socks in his palm, a lump forming in his throat as an indescribable emotion surged within him.After all, he had never interacted with a newborn before, let alone had any familiarity with their clothing and accessories.Despite his usual aloofness, Timothy found the material of the tiny socks surprisingly soft and gentle.Hastily, he returned the socks to the shelf, his demeanor awkward, as if handling the small socks was akin to facing a daunting creature.Watching Timothy's actions, a shadow of concern crossed Mia's eyes: perhaps he genuinely harbored a dislike for children!Nevertheless, Mia remained resolute in her decision to raise the twins independently, sparing Timothy any inconvenience.Turning to Tara, she asked, "Would you mind assisting me in selecting a few outfits?"Since they've already entered the store, refraining from making a purchase would appear inappropriate.After Mia finished speaking, Timothy beside her suddenly interjected, say

    After acquiring the baby cribs, they made their way to the baby stroller section.To prevent Timothy from insisting on buying everything, Mia took matters into her own hands and decided to personally select two baby strollers.Surrounded by these baby items, Mia truly comprehended the weight of impending motherhood.Glancing at the time, she was surprised to realize that they had finished all their shopping in just an hour.Thanks to Timothy's efficient shopping style, they were able to swiftly navigate through their purchases.However, as they exited the store, an awkward tension lingered between them. After all, it was Mia's first time shopping with Timothy.Soon, they found themselves outside an exhibition hall, unsure of what it had on display.Just then, one of the workers, Michelle Lexington, approached them."Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, given your substantial purchases in our mall, we'd like to offer you a complimentary parenting course for new parents."If you have a moment

    None of the major shareholders was a fool.After that, Mia was busy handling Barrett Group affairs and barely had time to rest.With an exhausted look, she returned to the hospital.Mia looked at Timothy and said, "I'll run away if you don't wake up soon.""No… Please don't go…" Timothy grabbed her hand. His gaze was deep.Mia's eyes reddened as she gazed at the man who had just regained consciousness. Timothy finally came out of his coma.After that, everything was back to normal. Those who caused trouble quieted down.Sharon visited Timothy and told him that she was going to settle down overseas and would not come back anymore.Timothy bought her a property and gave her a huge sum of money before sending her away from Bern City.As for Maya, it was discovered that she was not the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island but merely his caregiver. Yet, she had been deceiving people outside.After Maya was exposed, she ran away dejectedly. Nobody knew where she was

    Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here.""That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares.""Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs.""

    "Because to me, you're my family too," Timothy said.When Sharon heard the word 'family', her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left the ward.Mia walked out and asked Peyton to send Sharon to the hospital for a checkup.Looking at Sharon's back, Mia said, "I hope you don't let him down since he regards you as his family. He's the only one you can depend on now."Sharon did not turn her head around. Mia did not know if Sharon would listen to her advice.Mia immediately called her brother. "Dominic, I met Maya."She then told him everything about Maya.Dominic frowned. "I never thought she would go to Yellow Island.""Do you think she's really the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island?""Don't you know how good she is at lying?" Dominic said.Mia nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know whether she's related to Yellow Island.""Don't worry, I'll find out."When Mia returned to the ward after ending the call, she saw a doctor bustling arou

    Mia went straight to the hospital to ask Timothy about the matter.But when she arrived, someone had reached there earlier than her."Timothy, what do you mean? All I did was pull a few strings, but you want to humiliate me publicly. How am I going to maintain my standing in the company?" Sharon said.Mia went in with a frown. "This is funny. It's not just about pulling a few strings, but it's aimed at me. Mrs. Barrett, your actions have leaked confidential commercial information.""Stop trying to scare me. It's my son who opened doors for you. It's the Yellow Islanders who wanted to collaborate with us, and they are much better than you," Sharon retorted. Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "At first, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But since you put it this way, wait for my lawyer's letter then.""Such big talk, huh?" A mysterious-looking woman wearing a hat and a mask walked in from outside.Mia felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "Are you the rumored granddau

    Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.She had to admit that the document was very valuable.Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?""Did you follow me?""I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."Mia totally agreed with that.She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all

    "You don't know anything," Sharon said.Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you."Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son.""You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone.""Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.

    Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me. "She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this.""What's this?""This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out

    Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?""He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?""Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well."At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family li

    Despite her initial reluctance, Mia eventually found herself making her way to Timothy's ward.As she entered, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's expressionless demeanor as he lay there.Carrying a tray of food, Mia approached him. "The doctor pointed out your extreme fatigue. It's crucial that you increase your food intake and prioritize proper rest to reduce the risk of sudden complications."Upon hearing Mia's voice, Timothy lifted his gaze to find her seated beside him. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "What did you tell Luna?""Not much," Mia responded. "Just a sprinkle of salt on the wound and a dash of psychological pressure to make sure Luna doesn't have it easy in prison."Placing the tray of food in front of him, Mia urged, "Please, just a few bites.""I'll eat later. By the way, the kids have been here at the hospital for quite a while. You should take them home," Timothy suggested.Frowning, Mia insisted, "You should eat something first."As her words faded,
