Chapter 323
Meet My Brothers
Mia was puzzled by Timothyâs words. She merely wanted to maintain a comfortable distance
from him.
What was he implying by asking whom she was apprehensive about encountering? It was not as
if she had engaged in any dubious behavior.
She casually responded, âExactly, I just didnât want to be seen and misinterpreted by others.â
Besides, both Sharon and Maya were present at the hospital. Shouldnât Timothy be wary of
potential misunderstandings with Maya?
Contemplating this, Mia suddenly questioned, âOh, by the way, why did you break off your engagement
with Maya?â
She had been eager to inquire about this matter for quite some time, but the suitable moment
never seemed to present itself.
With Lauraâs surgery now underway, marking a countdown in Timothy and Miaâs divorce, Mia
unexpectedly found herself growing a bit curious.
Timothyâs eyes narrowed slightly. âWhat do you think?â
Was Mia trying to fish for information she already knew?
It was evident that Mia had persuaded Connor to perform Lauraâs surgery, yet she chose not to
disclose any details.
Instead, she allowed Maya to manipulate the situation, using it as a pretext to coerce Timothy
into a fake engagement.
If Connor hadnât divulged the truth to Timothy on the day of the engagement, Timothy would have
remained unaware.
What was Miaâs underlying motive?
Miaâs eyes sparkled with a sudden realization. âDid you end your engagement with Maya because
you saw through her deceitful facade?â
What was Mia trying to imply?
Timothy hesitated before speaking, âMia, what on earth is going on inside your head?â
âWell, itâs always you who seems to occupy my thoughts, isnât it?â Mia replied almost instinctively,
1/3.

Instantly, she clammed up, choosing not to say anything further.
Upon hearing her response. Timothyâs expression turned somewhat awkward. âMia, itâs evident now
why you have so many admirers. They must have all been charmed by your sweet talk, havenât they?â
Why hadnât Timothy realized earlier how adept Mia was at flirting?
Miaâs face flushed with embarrassment, yet she wasnât willing to be cornered by Timothy like this.
Boldly, she shot back, âDonât talk nonsense. Sweetâtalk? Iâve only done that with one man, and itâs
you!â
Following her statement, Timothy coughed awkwardly. âMia, what are you going on about?â
After all, Timothy had never allowed Mia to engage in such behavior!
Over the past three years, their âromanticâ connection had stayed purely platonic, except for that
one unforeseen incident.
Mia swiftly grasped the implications of her words, and her cheeks turned red.
She clarified. âI was just babbling. Youâre clearly reading too much into it, and your mind is fabricating
inappropriate ideas.â
Timothy grew annoyed. âInappropriate ideas? Youâre the one with the dirty mind!â
âWell, if you think I entertain inappropriate thoughts, feel free to point them out. Iâd be happy to
explain.â
Mia refused to back down, maintaining a defiant gaze on Timothy.
Timothy glanced downward, catching sight of Miaâs innocent, dark eyes
His throat subtly tightened, and he unconsciously licked his lips.
In a husky tone, he uttered, âYou were the one who brought up sweetâtalking.â
âAnd what if I did? Didnât I sweetâtalk you back then?â
Indeed, Mia had dedicated each day to understanding Timothyâs preferences, anxiously awaited his
return from work, and carefully considered when and how to express herself.
She had to meticulously choose her words, ensuring they always aligned with what he wanted to
hear. Wasnât that considered a form of sweetâtalking?

Heath, standing nearby, unintentionally caught wind of their animated conversation and discreetly took
a few steps back.
He preferred not to eavesdrop on anything he shouldnât and potentially become a target for
Timothyâs wrath later on.
