Ch. 251..260
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 251-Unexpectedly, Mia spotted Timothy in the vicinity.
He stood in front of the counter, clutching a mobile phone that seemed more suited for women.
Who could he be purchasing the phone for?
Was it possibly intended for Maya?
It made sense, considering Timothy had just gotten engaged to Maya earlier in the day.
Mia quickly averted her gaze, feigning ignorance about Timothy’s presence.
Connor, too, caught sight of Timothy and furrowed his brow in disapproval. He had heard rumors. that Timothy had called off the engagement earlier.
It seemed his suspicions were valid.
Considering Timothy’s lack of affection for Maya, it seemed probable that his agreement to the engagement was influenced by a deal involving Laura’s surgery.
Even so, Connor harbored a dislike for Timothy, especially because of Timothy’s apparent interest in Mia.
Connor suddenly became a bit wary. “Mia, how do you feel about the newest model of this brand’s smartphone?” Mia, who was standing nearby, glanced at the phone. “It’s fine.” She simply wanted to purchase the phone and exit the premises as swiftly as she could.
Connor turned his attention to the nearby staff. “Please get me this model.” The staff hesitated, stating, “I’ll need to check if we still have stock. This model sells quickly at our store.“– Standing in place, Mia caught sight of Timothy’s gaze from the corner of her eye. She subtly pursed her lips, pretending not to acknowledge him.
Connor, too, noticed Timothy’s stare. He swiftly positioned himself between Mia and Timothy, casually obstructing the line of sight.
Taking it a step further, he intentionally struck a pose at the counter, strategically blocking Timothy’s view behind him.
In response to Connor’s deliberate interference, Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a trace of displeasure.
It was evident that there was an unconventional dynamic in Mia’s relationship with Connor.
This might explain Mia’s ability to influence Connor into performing Laura’s surgery.
Perhaps Mia knew about Maya’s deception of Timothy all along. Could it be that she purposefully designed the engagement venue to personally witness his humiliation?
The more Timothy pondered the situation, the more disconcerted he became.
The last thing he anticipated was coming across Mia’s broken phone, and inexplicably, ending up in this particular store.
Just then, the staff returned to Mia with an update, saying, “Apologies, but we currently have only one unit of this phone left.” Connor, in high spirits, exclaimed, “Perfect! We’ll take the last one.” However, the staff hesitated again, glancing in Timothy’s direction. “The remaining phone is currently in that customer’s hands, and we’re unsure if he intends to purchase it.” Observing the phone in Timothy’s grasp, Connor stepped forward and said, “Timothy, let’s discuss this. We’ll take this phone for now. Mia’s phone is broken, and she urgently needs a replacement.” Timothy glanced toward Mia, his expression tense.
After a brief moment, he responded, “But I was here first.” Connor couldn’t help but snort. Why was Timothy so oblivious?
Even though Connor explicitly mentioned buying the phone for Mia and performing Laura’s surgery as a favor for her. Timothy seemed to disregard even this modest courtesy.
Mia coughed discreetly and pulled Connor aside, remarking. “Let’s forget about it; we can pick a different brand. The older model is perfectly fine.” “No, we have to go for the latest model if we’re making a purchase,” Connor insisted.
It marked the first time he was buying a new phone for Mia, and he was determined to choose the latest and most expensive one. Cheap options didn’t interest him at all..
Upon hearing Connor’s firm stance, Mia suddenly felt overwhelmed. All she wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible.
She gently tugged at Connor’s arm and whispered in a playful tone, “I’ll cherish anything you Certainly, any gift from Connor would be appreciated by Mia.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 252-Upon hearing Mia’s words, Connor instantly felt a wave of relief. He couldn’t help but appreciate her kindness, sensibility, and adorable nature.
Connor made a mental note to stay vigilant, ensuring that no man would dare to harbor feelings for Mia, especially someone like Timothy–a mature, divorced individual.
an Connor was determined to eliminate possibility of a romantic connection between Mia and Timothy.
Timothy couldn’t help but overhear Mia’s sweet and coquettish words to Connor.
When had she ever spoken to him like that?
A peculiar sensation enveloped Timothy–a tightness in his chest, making each breath a struggle. He had never experienced such a feeling before.
In response, Timothy placed the phone directly on the table and stated, “I don’t want it anymore.” He made a decisive choice not to purchase the phone.
Regret seeped in as Timothy realized he shouldn’t have come to the store in the first place.
In the next instant, Connor swiftly seized the phone and gave Timothy a pat on the shoulder, saying, “Thank you, Timothy!” Timothy scoffed at that. He didn’t need his gratitude!
As he looked up, he noticed Connor approaching Mia, presenting her with the phone he had just held.
Mia accepted the phone, almost as if she could still sense the residual warmth from Timothy’s touch.
She pursed her lips, maintaining a thoughtful silence.
Connor, attuned to her mood, inquired, “Mia, don’t you like it?” “I like it. Let’s go with this one,” Mia responded.
After all, she only had minimal requirements for a smartphone.
Calmly lifting her head, she feigned a casual scan of her surroundings, only to unintentionally meet Timothy’s gaze.
His piercing eyes remained fixed on Mia, conveying emotions she struggled to decipher.
+15 BONOS Mia couldn’t help but feel puzzled. During the engagement ceremony, there was an unsettling vibe about Timothy that she couldn’t quite shake off.
Connor turned to the staff and inquired, “Where can we proceed to check out?” “Right this way, please follow me.” While Connor proceeded to make the payment nearby, Mia retrieved her old phone, intending to transfer the SIM card to the new device.
However, an issue arose; the SIM card wouldn’t come out.
In the next moment, a pair of slender hands reached over and effortlessly took her phone. With a few deft moves. Timothy successfully extracted the SIM card.
Mia found herself momentarily stunned. Upon regaining her composure, she noticed the SIM card resting in the palm of Timothy’s hand.
He extended his hand toward her, silently gesturing for her to take it.
Taking a deep breath, Mia uttered, “Thank you.” She reached out to retrieve the SIM card, her fingertips lightly brushing against the warmth of Timothy’s palm.
Mia’s breath hitched at the contact. She quickly bent down to insert the SIM card, only to find that the phone still displayed no signal.
Timothy’s voice beside her chimed in. “Did you put it in upside down?” Acknowledging the possibility, Mia reluctantly removed the SIM card again. However, her thoughts were preoccupied elsewhere.
Why wasn’t Timothy leaving?
After completing the payment and returning, Connor spotted Timothy standing beside Mia, setting off alarms in his mind.
Approaching briskly, he inquired, “What’s going on with you two?” Mia was taken aback, turning around to respond, “Nothing. I’m just swapping out my SIM card.” “Oh, I see,” Connor replied, his concern growing that Timothy might have unwittingly revealed his identity.
Connor positioned himself between them, creating a divide. He then turned to Mia. “We’re done shopping. Let’s go.” Connor couldn’t afford to let Mia linger with Timothy. The looming risk of his true identity being exposed was too significant.
Mia, too, was eager to leave. Hastily, she stuffed the new phone into her bag without bothering to check if the SIM card was properly inserted.
As they began to walk away. Timothy’s voice called out from behind. “Wait.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 253-At the sound of Timothy’s voice, Mia and Connor instinctively held their breath, a collective sense of guilt lingering in the air.
They turned around, exchanging cautious looks in Timothy’s direction.
As Timothy approached Mia, she nervously stammered, “I–Is there something?” Connor couldn’t shake his distrust of Timothy, disliking the way he scrutinized Mia.
Timothy came to a halt and offered his hand.
Noticing the SIM card in Connor’s palm, Mia belatedly recalled her earlier misconception about it being inserted upside down.
She had intended to rectify it, but Connor approached them just as she was on the verge of doing so. Concerned that he might uncover her connection to Timothy, Mia hurriedly left with Connor.
In her haste, she neglected to correctly insert the SIM card.
Clearing her throat, Mia uttered, “Thank you.” As she was about to grab it, Connor preemptively took the SIM card from Timothy’s hand. “Mia.
why are you so careless? Keep the SIM card safe. I’ll assist you in fixing it when we get back.” Mia nodded, rubbed her nose in embarrassment, and trailed behind Connor as they exited the store.
Timothy stood alone, reflecting on Connor’s words and deducing that these two might have begun cohabitating.
He tugged at his tie, experiencing a wave of frustration.
Damn it!
He truly regretted coming here to purchase the phone.
Upon returning home, Mia found herself surrounded by her brothers. “Mia, what happened to the corner of your mouth?” “Oh, it’s just a minor accident.” During their journey home, Connor informed Mia about the near–panic situation her brothers were
Facing her six concerned brothers, Mia apologized, “I’m sorry for causing you all to worry. When my phone broke, I should have borrowed a colleague’s phone to let you know I’m safe.” Observing her remorseful expression, Dominic softened his stance. Despite his initial intention to correct Mia about her lapse, he chose to let it slide.
Given Mia’s apology, forgiveness–seemed to be the only reasonable option.
Dominic maintained a stern expression. “Don’t make this a habit.” Mia obediently nodded. “Yes, I swear!” Eva grasped Mia’s hand, offering reassurance. “Mia, there’s no need to make promises. It’s okay if you forget next time.
“But in case you ever find yourself in danger, always remember you can come back to your family.
With your many brothers, any one of them can handle a fight for you.” A warm smile crept onto Mia’s face. Indeed, having six brothers made her feel as if she were living in a dream.
Lounging on the sofa, Liam chimed in. “As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters. By the way.
I’ve already devised a plan to deal with your adoptive parents.” Mia’s eyelids twitched, and she cautioned, “Liam, please don’t do anything illegal or unruly, okay?” Dominic reassured her with a pat on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” However, Mia felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.
She urgently grabbed Dominic’s arm, saying, “Dominic, I appreciate your desire to stand up for me, but revenge should be pursued the right way. Let’s not resort to anything illegal or unethical.” Sensing Mia’s apprehension, Eva swiftly stepped in. “Don’t worry. Your brothers are well aware of boundaries. There are various things challenging for Bob and Mary.
ways to mak “After all, isn’t Ted, their son, about to marry his girlfriend Gia? We could stir up a bit of chaos in their lives.” Mia looked curiously at Eva, asking, “Stir up chaos? How?” Jason explained, “I’ve asked a friend to investigate Ted and Gia. They’re rushing to tie the knot due to Gia’s pregnancy, but it seems the child may not be Ted’s.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 254-Mia let out a gasp, comprehending the unfolding situation.
If Bob and Mary were to discover that Gia wasn’t carrying Ted’s child, the repercussions could be chaotic.
Nonetheless, the notion brought a hint of satisfaction to Mia.
Mia couldn’t suppress a yawn, a clear testament to the day’s busyness that had left her fatigued. Simultaneously, she couldn’t shake off the lingering ache in her stomach.
Sensing Mia’s discomfort, Connor promptly shifted the conversation. “Let’s grab a bite. The important thing is that Mia is back safely.” After all, he had already arranged for someone to give Bob and Mary a stern warning, making it unlikely for them to return.
After dinner, Mia withdrew to her room, feeling genuinely fatigued and in need of rest.
Upon waking the next day, Mia instinctively checked the headlines, anticipating news about Timothy and Maya’s engagement.
Considering Maya’s penchant for seeking attention, Mia assumed there would be discreetly shared photos of their engagement circulating.
Despite refreshing the page multiple times, Mia was puzzled to find no news regarding Timothy and Maya’s engagement.
The absence of information was perplexing. Why wasn’t there any coverage?
It seemed illogical.
Mia considered the possibility that Timothy had opted for confidentiality, similar to when she married him.
It appeared that Maya didn’t have the privilege of making their relationship public.
Setting aside her thoughts, Mia headed straight to the studio for work.
Upon reaching her desk, Felix approached her. “Mia, we’ve received the final payment for yesterday’s engagement ceremony. Let’s celebrate with a dinner gathering tonight.” Mia’s expression tensed as she commented, “Judging by their prompt payment, it seems that the newly engaged couple truly appreciates the wedding setup I designed.” Felix suddenly lowered his voice. “This is just between us. Keep it quiet. But the engagement from yesterday? It didn’t go through; it got called off.” “Called off? Are you sure?” -Mia found it hard to believe that the engagement had been canceled.
“Mia, why would I make this up? After we left the venue yesterday, I stayed in touch with the hotel coordinator to plan the setup, and that person spilled the beans–the engagement was indeed canceled.” Mia was genuinely taken aback.
No wonder she spotted Timothy at the mall yesterday.
She had initially assumed that the engagement ceremony had ended prematurely, but the revelation that it was canceled turned out to be a truly unexpected twist.
Hadn’t Maya used Laura’s surgery as leverage to coerce Timothy into the engagement?
So, why the sudden cancellation? What about Laura’s surgery?
Mia’s mind suddenly spiraled into chaos, consumed by worry about Laura’s well–being.
“Mia, what’s the matter?” “It’s nothing.” Mia murmured, shaking her head.
The abrupt cancellation of yesterday’s engagement had left her puzzled. She couldn’t fathom the reasons behind such a sudden turn of events.
Later in the afternoon, Tammy approached and informed, “There’s a middle–aged man outside looking for you. He claims to be a relative from your hometown.” However, Mia remained skeptical, given that she had only a handful of relatives from her hometown.
With caution, she walked toward the entrance and found a disheveled middle–aged man.
As Fabian noticed Mia, he eagerly approached, grabbing her hand. “Honey, please come back.
home with me.” Mia was instantly taken aback. “Let go! Who are you calling ‘honey‘? You must have mistaken me for someone else.” “I haven’t made a mistake. You’re Mia, right? Your adoptive parents arranged for us to get married. and they even accepted a bribe of ten thousand dollars from me. So, as things stand, you are now my wife.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 255-Upon hearing Fabian’s words, Mia couldn’t help but find Bob and Mary’s actions utterly ridiculous.
In this modern era, the concept of being married off to an older man from the countryside with a bribe seemed absurd to her.
Did they truly think they could control her with such outdated methods?
Suddenly, Felix rushed out and forcefully pushed Fabian away. “What are you doing? If you cause any more trouble, I’ll call the police!” Seated on the ground, Fabian insisted, “I offered Mia’s family a ten–thousand–dollar bribe, and consequently, we’re now engaged. That amount constitutes my yearly savings.
“Mia, you must come back home with me and bear me a son!” Mia cast a cold gaze at Fabian. “Are you insane? I’ve cut all ties with my adoptive parents. Whatever they choose to do with the money has no bearing on me.” “I don’t care. After all, Bob and Mary are still considered your family. Since they’ve accepted my bribe, you are essentially my wife now!” Felix snorted. “What century are we in? Bribes? Mia never consented to any of this. You better leave, or we’ll involve the police.” “Feel free to call the police. The bribe has already been paid. If I can’t reclaim my wife, then perhaps it’s better for me to end it all right here.” Seizing a nearby broom, Mia brandished it at Fabian. “Very well, let’s face the consequences together today!” she asserted.
Frightened, Fabian scrambled away as fast as he could.
Mia finally set aside the broom she had been wielding. Beside her, Felix looked on with amazement. “Mia, you handled that quite impressively.” “I’ve dealt with these rural folks before.” Mia replied with a stern expression. “I never expected my adoptive parents to resort to such underhanded tactics.” “Mia, don’t worry. Reporting this to the police won’t implicate you; it’s your adoptive parents who are responsible for taking the money.” “I understand, but it does create complications for the studio.” Following Mia’s words, Felix, standing before her, reached out and affectionately patted her head.
“Mia, there’s no need to be so formal. After all, aren’t we friends? Shouldn’t we be here to support each other?” Feeling a tad uneasy, Mia took a step back to avoid Felix’s touch. Clearing her throat, she stated, ” Felix, I’ll get back to work.” “Sure, go ahead.” Observing Mia’s defiant stance, Felix sighed internally.
It seemed that winning her over was truly challenging. However, it didn’t matter; he had an abundance of patience.
Sitting at her desk, Mia couldn’t help but recall Fabian, the troublemaker from earlier.
If Bob and Mary were indeed implicated in accepting a ten–thousand–dollar bribe from Fabian, Mia knew he wouldn’t easily back down.
She was well aware of how persistent rural suitors could be in their pursuit of a spouse.
As Mia wrapped up her work and left the office building, Fabian hurriedly approached her, reaching out to grab her arm. “Honey, you’re done for the day. Come home with me.” Mia, already on high alert, swiftly dodged away, casting a wary look at Fabian. “I warn you, stay away from me. I have no connection with you. Whoever took your money, go seek them out.” “It was your adoptive parents who accepted my bribe. How can you now deny being my wife?
You’re not contemplating backing out, are you? Let me be crystal clear; it’s not happening!” “Mia!” Suddenly, Felix rushed over and stood by her side, offering reassurance, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” Without delay, Fabian waved his hand, and several disheveled men emerged from, behind the nearby bushes. They closed in, surrounding Mia.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 256-Observing the unfolding situation, Felix was suddenly gripped by fear. However, amidst the apprehension, he discerned an opportunity to heighten their intimidation.
He cautioned, “Stay back. This is a lawful society, monitored by surveillance cameras everywhere. Do you really think you can escape?
“People like you belong in rural areas, secluded in the mountains. Spare yourselves the shame. and never come out-” As he concluded his statement, Felix’s head was violently struck by an assailant.
With blood streaming down his injured head, Mia, in a state of panic, exclaimed, “Felix, are you okay?” Within a fleeting moment, Felix collapsed to the ground.
In a bid to call for help, Mia tried to retrieve her phone, but her hands and feet were bound, and she was forcibly taken away.
A shabby van was conveniently parked nearby, and Mia found herself tossed into the back seat. It dawned on her that these individuals had come prepared.
She realized she had been too careless.
As Fabian got into the car, Mia fixed her gaze on him. “Kidnapping me is illegal. My family will locate me soon.” Fabian sneered, “Don’t worry, honey. Once you step into our town, there won’t be a chance for anyone to come to your rescue. In the past, some tried, but they all ended up helpless in the end.” “Fabian, congratulations on marrying such a beautiful and sophisticated wife. University students. from the city are truly in a class of their own.
“When you have children, they’re bound to be both intelligent and good–looking.” With a triumphant laugh, Fabian declared, “Of course, we’ll be having several children. It just wouldn’t make sense to let my ten–thousand–dollar bribe go to waste.” Listening from the back seat, Mia felt a wave of despair. She could only hope that her brothers. would discover her disappearance swiftly and come to her rescue.
She knew she had to remain composed to avoid putting herself in more danger.
After all, she was carrying a child and needed to be cautious for their sake.
The van left the city, merging onto the highway. It was evident that they intended to swiftly transport Mia to the village, ensuring they wouldn’t be apprehended.
As night descended, Mia hesitated to close her eyes, apprehensive that if she succumbed to sleep, she might awaken in an unfamiliar location.
After a while, the van came to a halt on a desolate rural road.
The group disembarked to take a break and have a meal.
Fabian turned to Mia and said, “Grab something to eat. As long as you cooperate, you’ll be treated well. Don’t worry; while our town may not match the affluence of big cities, it’s not too shabby.” Mia glanced at the bread offered to her and made a straightforward request. “I’d like some milk as well.” “Of course, as long as you’re well–behaved,” he responded.
Mia sat upright with the hope that Fabian would free her, yet he remained alert and resistant.
Resigned to the situation, she decided to eat first–after all, the baby in her womb couldn’t afford to go hungry.
Before long, the van resumed its journey.
Jostled by the bumpy ride, Mia soon succumbed to sleep.
When she awoke, it was already the following morning. Glancing around, she saw nothing but towering mountains, devoid of any signs of modern urbanization.
Mia’s heart sank once more. “Have we arrived?” she inquired.
“Not yet. We still have to traverse this massive mountain, then another, and we’ll reach our destination. We have to stick to these smaller roads to stay off the radar. It might take a bit longer, but it’s safer.” Mia clenched her teeth, holding onto the belief that her brothers would eventually come to her rescue.
Suddenly, the roar of engines echoed from above, mirroring the distinct sound of a helicopter.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 257-Mia’s heart soared with newfound hope as the sound of the helicopter reached her ears.
The sudden appearance of the aircraft couldn’t be a mere coincidence.
Mia couldn’t help but wonder if it might be her brothers coming to her rescue.
Fabian’s vigilance heightened as he sat in the passenger seat. “Could it be the police?” he questioned.
Ronald, behind the wheel, chuckled and brushed off the idea. “Fabian, have you been watching too many movies? Why would the police show up in a helicopter?
“We’ve been down this route countless times. What could possibly go wrong?” “What’s the helicopter doing here, then? We’ve never seen one in this area before.” “It could be for tourism, or perhaps the TV station is filming some aerial shots.” Fabian found Ronald’s explanation to be somewhat plausible. After all, the prospect of a helicopter coming to rescue Mia seemed far–fetched, considering their high cost.
Before long, Ronald remarked, “Look, the helicopter is flying away. I told you it wasn’t here for us. You worry too much.” Upon hearing this, Mia also noticed that the helicopter’s roar had considerably subsided.
Could it be true that it was merely passing by?
Mia felt anxiety gripping her as the realization sank in. The audacity of these men to carry out kidnappings in a bustling city was hard for her to fathom.
What should be her course of action now?
Was she really going to give birth in the mountains?
on after the van abruptly screeched to a halt.
Ronald cursed, “Damn it, why is there a massive tree blocking the road? How are we supposed to proceed now?” “What’s our plan? Should we turn back?” “There’s no way we’re going back. Let’s all pitch in and clear these trees out of the way.” With that, the men exited the van, leaving Mia alone inside.She held her breath and cautiously sat up, stealing glances outside to assess the situation.
However, her heart sank as she observed the rugged mountainous terrain.
The thought of traversing it on foot was daunting, and escape seemed nearly impossible.
Suddenly, a group of individuals clad in camouflage attire emerged, swiftly subduing the ment attempting to clear the roadblock.
Mia’s heart raced as she witnessed the unfolding scene.
Who were these mysterious interveners?
Abruptly, the van door swung open. Mia turned to find a man in camouflage attire. Though his face was smudged, his eyes were undeniably familiar.
Could it be Timothy?
Standing by the van door, Timothy swiftly cut the ropes binding Mia’s hands and feet. As he observed the marks on her wrists and ankles, his gaze turned noticeably colder.
Suppressing the chill in his eyes, Timothy lifted his head and extended a reassuring hand toward Mia. “It’s okay, you can come down.” Mia stared at him, feeling somewhat dazed. “My legs are numb. I can’t move.” Being pregnant, Mia refrained from making any hasty movements, fearing the potential consequences of a fall while exiting the van.
As Mia voiced her concern, she observed Timothy bending down, ready to lift her out of the van.
Instinctively, Mia wrapped her arms around Timothy’s neck, lifting her gaze to observe the camouflage paint on his face. It added a hint of mystery and rugged charm to his expression.
Pursing her lips, Mia inquired, “How did you get here?” She never anticipated that Timothy would be the first to arrive and rescue her!
Timothy remained silent, gently setting her down by the roadside. He thoughtfully wiped the nearby stones clean and proposed, “Feel free to sit down here.” Mia complied, settling down as Timothy squatted in front of her. He retrieved a first aid kit, diligently disinfecting the wounds left by the ropes on her hands and feet.
As the alcohol made contact with Mia’s wounds, her hands and feet instinctively twitched, displaying a degree of resistance.
+15 BONOS Timothy maintained a firm grip on her ankle. “Stay still.” “It hurts!” Mia’s voice quivered, causing Timothy’s hand to momentarily pause.
Glancing up at her, he noticed tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. Adjusting his pace, he reassured her. “It’ll be alright. Just endure it for a little while.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 258-Mia was taken aback by Timothy’s response.
Instead of offering the comforting words she had anticipated, he simply advised her to bear the pain.
Despite this, Mia recognized that, given the current circumstances, enduring was the only viable option.
Contrary to his seemingly stern words, Timothy’s actions were remarkably gentle.
Just then, Mia’s attention was diverted by desperate screams emanating from the other side.
She tried to look, but several men in camouflage blocked her view.
From the sounds, it appeared that her abductors were facing some form of reprimand.
Lowering her gaze, Mia noticed a bandage snugly wrapped around her ankle. She couldn’t help but be captivated by Timothy’s profile, emanating both charm and elegance.
Mia found herself stunned, gazing into Timothy’s blue eyes.
Awkwardly averting his gaze, Timothy inquired, “Are there any other places that hurt?” Clearing her throat, Mia replied, “No, I’m fine.” Shifting her body slightly backward, she stole another glance at the commotion nearby. “Thank you for coming to my rescue this time.” Timothy set aside the first aid kit, his gaze weighted with concern. “In the future, perhaps you should choose a more trustworthy man to safeguard your well–being.” Mia pursed her lips and inquired, “How’s Felix?” With a touch of disdain, Timothy responded, “His condition isn’t life–threatening.” Upon learning that Felix wasn’t seriously injured, Mia felt a deep sense of relief, especially considering he had sustained injuries on her behalf.
In that critical moment, who could have predicted the audacity of these men?
Timothy surveyed the group and posed the question. “What do you suggest we do with them?” Mia lifted her gaze, meeting his eyes. “Is that question meant for me?” Timothy furrowed his brows, revealing a touch of impatience. “If not you, then who else? We’re in Upon hearing this, a shiver ran down Mia’s spine, and she swallowed nervously. “Let’s call the police.” “That’s a cowardly move.” A wave of unease washed over Mia. “You do realize that murder is against the law, right? I don’t want either of us to get into trouble.” Upon hearing the word “us“, Timothy couldn’t help but smirk. “Come on, I was just kidding. Did you really think I was serious?” Mia clenched her teeth, exasperated by Timothy’s frustrating behavior.
It was hard for her to believe that she had felt a twinge of sentimentality toward him just a moment ago!
In the next moment, Timothy shifted his gaze to his subordinates and inquired. “What did they say?
“They’ve admitted to everything. It’s confirmed that the adoptive parents of Ms. Bowen accepted a ten–thousand–dollar bribe from this man.
“Not only that, but they also provided him with Ms. Bowen’s photo and address, instructing him to abduct her.” Upon hearing this revelation, Mia’s complexion turned pale. “I won’t let them get away with this.” “The ongoing challenges with your adoptive parents aren’t new for you. Usually, you navigate such situations adeptly when it involves me. What made handling your adoptive parents difficult this time?” Timothy’s intense gaze lingered on Mia, a flood of relief washing over him as he observed her safe and sound.
He couldn’t fathom how Mia ended up being kidnapped and taken to such a remote place.
If Timothy hadn’t acted promptly, Mia might have found herself in genuine danger deep within the mountains, where escaping would have been a formidable challenge.
Mia comprehended the gravity of the situation. Were it not for Timothy, the repercussions could have been unimaginable.
“I Bowing her head, she murmured, ever imagined these people would dare to kidnap me in a bustling city.” “Well, you should always anticipate the unexpected. Perhaps it’s wise to engage your wits when you’re out and about!” Timothy sternly cautioned.
In a sudden realization, Mia lifted her gaze to him. “How did you know I was in trouble?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 259-Mia gazed at Timothy in confusion. Her predicament had escalated unexpectedly, and she had assumed her brothers would be the first to learn about it.
Upon hearing the helicopter earlier, she even briefly considered the possibility that her brothers might have come to her rescue.
However, it turned out to be Timothy.
Timothy narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter? Are you disappointed to see me? Who were you expecting?” “I just thought it might be the police descending from the sky. Is there an issue with that?” Swaying her foot, Mia continued in a sarcastic tone, “Given your hectic schedule, I hadn’t anticipated you taking such a hands–on approach and swiftly stepping into the forefront. It’s quite unexpected, to be honest.” “Don’t overthink it. I simply wanted to avoid any rumors about my wife being taken to the mountains for an arranged marriage. Just think about the impact on my reputation if that information were to leak.” Mia lowered her gaze, realizing that Timothy’s swift arrival wasn’t motivated by concern for her.
Just then, Timothy rose to his feet, clutching his first aid kit. “Given your chattiness, I’ll be on my way.” Witnessing his heartless departure, Mia suddenly felt a pang of anxiety. “Hey, are you really just going to leave like this?” As Mia observed the helicopter parked nearby, she noticed that everyorte was beginning to retreat.
It felt as if nobody cared about her!
Feeling a surge of panic, Mia stood up. “Timothy, you stop right there! Legally, I’m still your wife. Are you just going to leave like this? You scoundrel!” Timothy stood beside the helicopter, watching as Mia approached. A subtle smile played on his lips when he noticed her catching up.
However, he quickly masked his emotions, turning back to regard her with a cold expression. “It’s commendable that you haven’t forgotten you’re still legally my wife.” Always surrounded by different men, Mia made Timothy seem almost inconspicuous by Mia hesitated briefly, summoning her courage. “Regardless, you can’t leave me behind. If you go, please take me with you!” Given the pressing circumstances, Mia wasn’t concerned about preserving her dignity. The primary objective was to escape from this dreadful place.
Timothy’s eyes narrowed. “Did you just call me a scoundrel?” Upon learning that Mia was in trouble earlier, Timothy immediately set aside everything.
leveraging all his connections to locate her as quickly as possible.
Couldn’t she have been more appreciative?
Inhaling deeply, Mia mustered a forced smile. “Mr. Barrett, you’re handsome and kind–hearted.
People with your virtues are bound to be rewarded.” Timothy playfully pinched her cheek. “Can you make that smile a tad more convincing?” A wave of emotions overwhelmed Mia’s thoughts. How audacious of Timothy to pinch her cheek!
Suppressing his impulses, Timothy withdrew his hand. “If you could offer a more pleasant remark, I’d be happy to have you accompany me.” Mia was completely caught off guard.
Facing the helicopter, she pondered for a moment before tentatively uttering. “You’re quite the stud.” “I’m aware of my good looks. Try again.” “Your majesty?” “It seems like you don’t want to leave.” Mia hastily responded, “No, Timmy, please!” Timothy shuddered, feeling a chill. “Can you use proper words?” What was the deal with the nickname “Timmy“?
Mia tilted her head. “Honey? Dear? Baby? Darling? Sweetheart?” The subordinates nearby struggled to stifle their laughter.
Timothy’s expression turned extremely awkward, intentionally maintaining a stern face. “Mia, where did you pick up these words? You’re not taking this seriously at all!” 20 Mia gestured widely. “Alright then, you pick.” In an instant, Timothy moved toward her and scooped her up in his arms.
Mia was taken aback. “I–I can walk on my own.” “Your legs are a bit too short.” Mia couldn’t help but think to herself, “Thanks for taking the time to personally ridicule my stature!
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 260-Did having long legs make such a significant difference? As Mia settled into the helicopter, her feet dangled outside, slightly elevated. It seemed improbable that she could climb in on her own. Once inside the helicopter, Mia observed her abductors sprawled on the ground, “What will happen to them?” she inquired. “Someone will come to apprehend them.” Timothy took a seat beside Mia in the cramped space, their arms closely pressed together. She could feel the warmth radiating from him. The mountain air was indeed quite chilly.. Mia’s stomach let out a growl; she was starving. Soon after, the crinkling sound of food packaging reached Mia’s ears. She turned to find Timothy holding a chocolate bar and instinctively swallowed. Timothy rattled the chocolate in his hand. “Want some?” Mia nodded eagerly. “You can’t just stand idly by and watch your wife faint from hunger, can you? It wouldn’t reflect well on your image if news of that were to circulate.” Timothy unwrapped the chocolate and handed it to Mia. He seemed to be catching on quickly. Mia accepted the chocolate and took a bite. As a pregnant woman, she couldn’t afford to go. hungry. Being the father of her child, it only seemed natural for Timothy to share his chocolate.. After eating, Mia’s tense demeanor finally eased. They were now out of harm’s way. Shortly afterward, Timothy felt Mia snuggling into his arms. She moved aside his coat, seeking comfort in his embrace. Timothy looked down at her, a slight smile gracing his lips. Without hesitation, he removed his coat and draped it over her. It appeared she was only this gentle when she was asleep. Glancing at Mia, Timothy playfully pinched her cheek, noticing that she had become a bit rounder than before. Was her newfound happiness without him the reason? In such a brief period, she seemed to have put on quite a bit of weight!

Since discovering Mia’s disappearance, he and his brothers have tirelessly scoured the city in search of her. However, being outsiders in Bern City added a layer of complexity to their efforts. However, Timothy somehow got wind of Mia’s predicament and deployed his own team, significantly expediting the progress of their search. After the helicopter landed, Timothy gently lifted the slumbering Mia in his arms. Connor hurriedly approached, intending to take Mia, but Timothy walked past him, descending the stairs while holding her close. Connor’s anger flared instantly. Why was Timothy persistently carrying Mia? He needed to release her right away!
