Chapter 470
*15 BORES
Timothy gazed at the yellow rose in the passenger seat, questioning his sanity for making
such a
gesture.
Meanwhile, Mia hailed a cab and swiftly departed from the college. Seated in the vehicle,
she glanced back at the campus, her phone ringing incessantly.
She held the phone but didn’t answer. She, too, was puzzled by Timothy’s sudden
behavior.
She couldn’t help but recall what he had said last time when they were shopping for baby
supplies.
Perhaps Timothy was trying to save their marriage, but Mia realized that his motivation
was solely because of Laura.
Before long, she received a WhatsApp message from Timothy. “Why did you run away?”
Mia’s emotions were tangled, and she decided not to reply.
Shortly after, another message arrived. “Don’t forget, this is Bern City. Do you think you
can escape from me?”
Enraged, Mia promptly called back, demanding. “Timothy, what is it that you want?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Finally, you pick up. Why did you leave like that?”
“You show up out of nowhere, causing a scene! If I hadn’t left, could I have continued
studying peacefully on campus for tomorrow’s exams? What exactly is your motive for
appearing so suddenly like this?”
Mia felt a creeping unease. Why was she being interrogated?
Timothy’s voice remained composed. “Well, I was simply trying to appease you.”
Appease her?
Mia was caught off guard by his comment, taking a moment to compose herself. “I don’t
appreciate
being manipulated. And why would you even try to persuade me like that?”
As she spoke, Mia suddenly grasped Timothy’s intentions.
“You don’t seriously believe that a small gesture like this would persuade me to forgive
you and call off our divorce, do you?” she sarcastically remarked.
Timothy paused on the opposite end of the line, carefully considering his response. “I
don’t extend this gesture to just anyone,” he stated.
After all, he had always been discerning when it came to appeasing women.
Mia chuckled in exasperation. “Well then, Mr. Barrett, I’m not one to accept such advances
from just

anyone either.”
“Would you like to find out?”
Mia hesitated briefly before asking, “Find out what?”
“Find out what it’s like to be charmed by me,” Timothy’s deep voice resonated over the
phone.
Mia couldn’t shake the stifling sensation in her nose, feeling inexplicably overwhelmed
with distress.
For three years, she had yielded to Timothy’s demands, bending to his every whim. Yet,
now that she had resolved to leave, he shamelessly tried to coax her into staying.
Mia pressed her lips together and declined, “I’ve already given it a shot. I won’t go down
that road again.”
With that, she ended the call. She gazed thoughtfully at the night sky through the car
window, lost in
contemplation.
Upon her return home, Mia discovered Connor and Jason lounging on the couch.
She had assumed Jason would have returned to Nord City by now, so his presence came
as a surprise.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Patricia headed into the kitchen, Jason leaned in and whispered, “Mia, while dealing
with your
immigration paperwork in Bern City today, I encountered a problem.”
“What’s the issue?” Mia inquired.
*Since your divorce with Timothy hasn’t been finalized, his signature is necessary on these
documents,” Jason explained.
“No, Timothy absolutely wouldn’t agree to sign them, and I can’t risk informing him,” Mia
instinctively
dismissed the idea.
Given Timothy’s behavior today, it seemed plausible that he would not only decline to sign
the documents but also potentially attempt to interfere.
“Mia, you really should expedite the divorce proceedings with Timothy. If you’re finding it
challenging. I’m more than willing to assist you,” Jason offered.
“Jason, I prefer to handle the divorce proceedings myself. I’ll make sure everything is
settled by the end of this week,” Mia asserted confidently.
Jason grinned in response. “Okay. Just so you know, Dominic is scheduled to arrive in a few
days. It’s perfect timing for him to pick you up and take you back home.”
During that time, Dominic and his brothers planned to expose Maya’s true identity,
revealing her as a fraudulent impostor, while also unveiling Mia as the rightful heiress of
the Lane family.
