Chapter 60
Mia cast down her eyes and faked nonchalance. “Thank you.” She saw no need to clarify the
misunderstanding Timothy currently harbored.
Mia’s grateful response only fueled Timothy’s rage. He pressed his lips and uttered, “Mia, behave now.
Don’t get all chummy with another man.”
Mia rebutted plainly, “But we’re divorced.”
“As long as we haven’t headed to the city council to finalize it, you remain married to me. You can’t flirt
with other men unless you don’t love yourself.”
“Let’s find a day and visit the city council then.”
Timothy tossed away his tie angrily. “So, you’re doing this again. You know Laura doesn’t want us to
get a divorce. Is this a threat now?”
“I’m not trying to coerce you or something.” Mia looked at Timothy and continued matter-of-factly, “We
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcan finalize the divorce in secret. We don’t have to tell Laura before she gets her surgery.”
“You think Laura is a fool?” Timothy grabbed Mia by her chin. “You want to divorce me this badly. Is it
because
you can’t wait to marry your new boyfriend? Can you deal with the consequences if Laura catches wind
of this?
Timothy’s powerful grip began to hurt her jaw.
Mia narrowed her eyes. “I just want to make way for Ms. Lane. I wouldn’t want to keep her waiting.”
“This has nothing to do with Maya!” Timothy wasn’t marrying Maya anyway. He looked at Mia haughtily
and warned. “I’ll say it once. If your crazy antics upset Laura, I’ll make you and your new boyfriend pay
the price.”
Mia’s heart sank into an icy pond. In Timothy’s eyes, she was nothing but a harlot. She knew the
protective
side of him just now was an illusion.
No, he wasn’t even protective. He merely handed the problem back to her. It was all her wishful
thinking.
Mia swatted Timothy’s hand away and said sternly, “Don’t you worry about that. I care more than
anyone about Laura. To convince her to get her surgery done, I can do anything.”
Mia turned around to grab the bag on the sofa, but Timothy seized her wrist. “Stay right here.”
“Let go of me!” Mia resisted, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground.
A white container rolled out. As soon as she saw the container, Mia gasped.
Oh, no!
The next moment, Timothy forcefully grabbed her to face him. “You’d do anything for Laura’s surgery?”
Mia met Timothy’s gaze. “Yes.”
1/2:
Timothy’s eyes hardened, and his tender lips broke apart. “Laura said that she would only get the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsurgery if
you’re pregnant.”
Pregnant? Mia’s eyes faltered. The corners of her eyes caught the bottle of folic acid on the ground.
She didn’t
know how to respond.
“Why are you so quiet now? Weren’t you awfully talkative just now?”
Recalling what Laura told her in the hospital, Mia could no longer contain her anger.
“What do you want me to say? Huh? Do you want to have sex with me and make me pregnant?”
“No way,” Timothy refused categorically. He knew it. Mia was trying to pull a reverse psychology trick.
“There’s another solution.” Mia looked at Timothy.
Timothy continued, “I’m all ears.”
