Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 576

Timothy pursed his lips. "What are you suggesting?"

"Now that Mia is the heiress of the prestigious Lane family in Nord City, with six supportive brothers, she has everything she needs. What could you possibly offer her to persuade her to come back to you?"

Furrowing his brow, Timothy responded, "Even if Mia didn't have her newfound family, she's not someone who can be won over by riches."

Indeed, Timothy seemed to have misunderstood her all along.

"I understand, but now she's the Lane family heiress. If you want to win her back, there's only one way."

Timothy's gaze sharpened with a hint of desperation.

Caleb hesitated before answering, "With your sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

Timothy reclined on the couch, projecting a nonchalant yet menacing aura. "Do you think people like us are capable of such sentiments?"

"If you don't genuinely love Mia and open your heart to her, I doubt you'll be able to keep her. You won't even pass her brothers' scrutiny."

Timothy felt somewhat disheartened and frustrated. "Isn't love such a vague and elusive thing?"

"Yeah, that's why I was so surprised when you fell for Mia. At first, I thought you were just unaccustomed to her leaving, but now it seems like you're really developing feelings for her."

Caleb couldn't believe it. "But Mia isn't considered exceptionally beautiful, and her physique is rather average."

"She's pregnant too."

"Yes, she's pregnant too, so... wait, what, she's pregnant?"

Caleb nearly choked on his wine. "She's expecting? With your child?"

“I’m not sure.”

Timothy took another sip of wine, the memory of Mia revealing to her blind date that the babies weren’t his still haunting his thoughts, leaving a bitter aftertaste.

Why did she doubt the twins' paternity?

At that moment, Timothy found himself unexpectedly wishing for the babies to be his. It would give him a reason to keep Mia close.

Caleb appeared perplexed as he stated, "Considering that Mia is pregnant and there's uncertainty surrounding whether the babies are yours, it's likely that they aren't."

Timothy's expression hardened. "Why do you say that?"

"Well, if the babies truly belonged to you, how could Mia, who had nothing to her name before replaceing her family, resist staying as the young mistress in the Barrett family?

"Most women in her situation would know what choice to make. Yet, she's kept it from you. What does that mean? It means she feels guilty!"

Timothy's gaze drifted upward to the ceiling, his tone pleading, "Could you please stop talking now?"

"Look, let me simplify things. If Mia didn't feel guilty, why would she agree so readily to your divorce proposal, leaving with nothing, without asking for a single penny?"

"Please, let's stop analyzing."

Timothy felt like his heart was being stabbed again, and he was overwhelmed with misery.

Caleb couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. "I mean, you're aware that the babies might not be yours, yet you still want to reconcile with Mia? Are you out of your mind? Do you crave fatherhood that much?"

"Anyway, I don't have any specific expectations for the babies. Regardless of who their father is, as long as they're brought up in the Barrett family, they'll be considered part of the Barrett lineage," Timothy asserted.

Caleb's mouth quivered slightly. "How did I not see it before? It's almost as if you enjoy being cheated on."

Immediately following his words, Timothy lashed out, kicking him. "Get lost!"

Caleb's tone turned stern. "Mr. Barrett, please answer my question carefully. Have you fallen in love with Mia?"
