Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) -
Chapter 458
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 tomention 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 photocopy of them, just to
prevent any chance of her tearing up the original in case she became upset.
“Perhaps this will help her snap out of her fantasies.”
Timothy couldn’t help but remember the previous day when he saw Mia smiling warmly at Claude.
However, when she glanced at him, there was a sense of detachment in her eyes.
Timothy assumed that Mia had found someone new, hence her distant attitude toward him.
It was only later that Timothy realized Sharon’s involvement, but Mia remained silent about everything.
In a swift gesture, Timothy crumpled the divorce agreement in his hand, causing Sharon to tremble
beside him in fear. “Tim, what are you doing?” she asked nervously.
With a serious expression, Timothy replied, “Mom, please go home for now. I need to focus on mywork.”
“Tim, how about I keep this document for you?” Sharon proposed.
Just as she extended her hand to take it, Timothy swiftly avoided her grasp, his gaze piercing. “Thismatter concerns me. I think it’s best if I keep it,” he insisted.
“Okay, okay. Just make sure to keep it safe. Oh, and by the way, your grandmother has beenrecovering well lately.
“You should schedule some time to go to the courthouse with Mia and finalize the divorceproceedings.”
Timothy sat alone in silence, lost in thought as he stared at the prenuptial agreement in his hands.
Meanwhile, Mia made her way straight to the hospital to visit Laura.
In the days prior, Mia was so preoccupied with designing the university hall that she didn’t have time tovisit Laura in the hospital.
Having completed the design project and secured her credits, Mia could begin planning her departurefrom Bern City.
As she headed toward the exclusive ward of the private hospital, the bodyguard outside didn’tintervene when she approached.
Holding a fruit basket, Mia softly knocked on the door before entering. “Grandma, I’ve come to seeyou.” “Mia, you shouldn’t have brought anything. Your presence is the most valuable gift,” Laura saidwarmly. Adjusting her reading glasses, she gestured for Mia to join her. “Mia, come over here and takea look. I’ve been deliberating for days, but I just can’t seem to make up my mind.”
“What is it that you’re trying to decide on?”
Seated at the edge of the bed, Mia watched as Laura showcased an assortment of baby cribs andstrollers on her tablet.
Her expression grew complex as she glanced at the items, her heart filled with a bittersweet sensation.
While Laura eagerly anticipated the arrival of Mia’s babies, Mia had been secretly planning herdeparture from Bern City all along.
With a deep breath, she uttered, “Grandma, there’s something I need to tell you.”
