Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 209

Patricia and Eva checked in on Mia’s well–being when she got home. After learning that Mia hadfainted due to malnourishment, Patricia whipped up some chicken soup for her.

Nourishing soups weren’t exactly Mia’s favorite, but she didn’t mind having them for the sake of herbaby.

She took a break on the couch and glanced at Eva. “Where’s Dominic?”

“He’s at work. Vista Properties expanded a branch in Bern City. He went over to visit his old friend.”

“I see. That’s great. I was able to buy this house thanks to his friend. Maybe I should treat his friend toa meal”

Eva coughed. “It’s fine. Dominic has repaid the favor. We don’t have to do anything.”

When there were no follow–up questions from Mia, Eva breathed a sigh of relief.

Where could Eva possibly replace someone to put on a show for her?

Dominic returned home in time for dinner. His brows furrowed when he first saw Mia. ‘Mia, you shouldput more care in what you eat. Look at you. You’re all bones.”

The corner of her lips twitched. He was spouting nonsense. She actually gained a few pounds.

He continued, “Mia, don’t worry about the demolition. I went to see an old friend who works in theconstruction industry. He said he could personally meet with you to get the contracts signed. Don’t letyour adoptive parents bother you. There’s nothing they can do about it.”

The meeting he had was with the boss of that construction company, who was willing to let him pullsome strings for this.

It was news worth celebrating for Mia. “Fantastic! Your friend has been a huge help. Maybe I shouldbuy him a meal.”

Dominic was stunned in silence. How could he tell her that he was actually that so–called friend?

He quickly shook his head. “No need for that. I already treated him to a meal this afternoon.”

In the end, there was nothing Mia could do about it.

That night, she lay in bed, gently caressing her belly.

Her baby was safe, thankfully.

Mia went to work as usual the next day.

A bouquet of roses rested on her desk without a note.

Mia asked out of curiosity, “Did someone make a mistake?”

Her colleagues teased, “Nope. It is specially for you. We’re jealous.”

Mia sneezed at the flowers, rubbing her nose. “Do you know who the sender is?”

+15 BONOS

“We don’t. Give it a guess.”

However, her colleagues‘ expressions offered a hint as to who the sender could be.

As Mia had expected, Felix showed up with a box of supplements. “Mia, I heard these are great forwomen. Your blood sugar is low. You should take them.”

Mia forced a smile before declining politely. “No thank you, Felix.”

The others began squealing, “Take them, Mia. Mr. Quilter looked into it, and we pitched in withrecommendations.”

He placed the box on the table. “Remember to take them. I’ve got to get back to work now.”

Mia watched him leave and let out a sigh.

She wasn’t oblivious to his feelings for her, but getting into a relationship wasn’t in her plans right now.
