Semua Bab Meet My Brothers: Bab 371 - Bab 380

After all, Janice was not an easy woman to deal with.When Mia arrived home, her eyes were threatening to close due to exhaustion. She looked at Patricia. "I'd like to have stir-fried chicken and sweet and sour pork tomorrow.""Alright. I'll buy fresh meat tomorrow for that. You should invite Claude over for a meal too."It was only then did Mia realized why there was no news from Claude that day. Maybe guilt was eating him up after he had beaten Felix up.She took a shower in her room and flopped on the bed. With how tired Mia was, nothing could stop her from falling asleep. She desperately needed a break.…The next morning, the sound of her phone ringing woke her up.She answered the call groggily. "Hello?""Rise and shine, Mia! We have grocery shopping to do so we can cook up a hearty meal for Felix. I'm old for this. I'm thinking of leaving it to you. Take this chance to learn his likes and dislikes—"Mia hung up the call right away and checked the time—it was only 5:00 a

That bastard actually called Mia yesterday to mock her for being a playgirl, but he wasn't in the position to do so.Furious, she sent the picture to Timothy. 'You're no saint either. Is this another backup girl of yours?'But after typing it out, she felt it was too long to assert her dominance. In the end, she edited her message and imitated his terse style. 'Wow.'That was enough to ooze sarcasm.Mean people usually didn't say much.Then, Mia set her phone aside and returned to her seat, back to her studies.Yet, she couldn't focus at all. She kept stealing glances at her phone as she wondered how Timothy would respond to her message.To her disappointment, he didn't reply.A while later, her phone screen suddenly lit up to show a notification from WhatsApp.She checked her phone only after calming herself down. Turned out it wasn't a reply from Timothy, but a message from Felix.'Mia, I recorded what you confessed to me in the room that day. About how your brother was a

If this conversation continued any further, Mia feared her blood pressure might rise through the roof."Mia Bowen, are you going to leave like this? What about the voice recording?"She looked over her shoulder at Felix. "Why don't you let me hear it first?"Silence hung in the air for a moment and she knew instantly that it was a lie—he didn't possess any sort of voice recording.The visit was unnecessary after all.Annoyed, she began wondering why Claude hadn't been responding to her messages. The issue could only be resolved after she spoke to him.However, Claude appeared to be unreliable at the moment.Mia, who was going to leave the hospital, exited the elevator while dwelling on the repulsive emotions which surfaced after her discussion with Felix and Janice.Right then, Timothy phoned Mia.She picked up the call immediately. "Anything?""About the picture, it's not what you think."Everything was unfolding in a way which exceeded her expectations today. Timothy was a

Sky continued, "Don't worry, Mr. Barrett. We'll get to the bottom of this. They haven't paid off their medical bills.""Keep it down. No need to speak so loudly. I can hear you loud and clear," Timothy reprimanded in a hushed tone. But it was useless because Mia had regained consciousness.All she could feel was pain all over her body. As she blinked open her eyes, her hand instinctively moved to her belly, fearing for her babies.Their well-being hung in uncertainty, driving her anxious. She raised her head only to see Timothy standing there.Her heart skipped a beat. "What are you doing here? Aren't you on a business trip? Is this a dream?"He sneered. "Why? Guilty to see me?"She bit her lip, not uttering a word.Heath, sensing the tension, hurriedly signaled at Sky and the others.It was best to give Timothy and Mia some time alone for certain discussions.The room was emptied, leaving the duo alone.A weak Mia rested against the headboard, noticing her bandaged knees a

From the start, Timothy had made it crystal clear that he didn't want kids. If he found out about Mia's pregnancy, he would insist on her getting an abortion. Mia quickly made up her mind. "Yes! You thought right!""Wow! Were you so eager to divorce me because you got knocked up by another guy? I knew something was off about your sudden change in attitude, bringing up divorce out of nowhere. So you've not only found someone new, but you're also carrying his child!" Timothy's expression grew unpleasant, and he glared at Mia.In a matter of seconds, Mia was drenched in cold sweat, fearing Timothy would see through her lies. Now that the baby was coming to term, Mia heard they could get a paternity test while she was still pregnant. She couldn't risk it! Mia clenched her hands tightly under the blanket. But she maintained a cool facade. "I only got pregnant after we signed the divorce papers. Legally, I haven't done anything wrong."Mia was relieved that Timothy always had a bad
