Ch. 341..350
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 341-Realizing that Claude was scouring her name, Mia explained. “It’s not there.” This was so awkward for her.
“Why not? I pinned your chat, though.” He clearly remembered that he had pinned their chat, but it vanished.
She let out a wry cough. “My number’s blocked.” “Who blocked your number?” Learning that Mia’s number was blocked, he turned behind fiercely.” Was it you? I let you use my phone and yet you blocked Mia’s number?” That lady sobbed, “I asked you to pin our chat, but you just wouldn’t. And now you’ve pinned another woman’s chat. How could you? I’m your girlfriend!” “Know your place. How can you compare yourself with her?” Claude was livid, but he reined himself in because Mia was around.
His angry expression gave way to a gentle one before he turned to face Mia. “Mia, this is a misunderstanding. I didn’t block your number. Don’t be angry.” “I’m not.” Mia shifted her gaze onto the crying lady. Mixed feelings churned in her as she didn’t know what to say.
Playboy yo The way he suggested a breakup did sound like that of a playboy.
At that moment, an officer stood up. “Enough. Miss, please sign your name here. You may resolve the personal issue yourself.” Mia signed her name on the document. “Sorry for the trouble.” Silence filled the room, accompanied by the woman’s crying.
Annoyed, he looked at Mia. “Mia, let’s go.” “Are you sure?” “Yeah. Just leave her alone. Give me a second. I should get changed.” He went to the other bedroom.
Mia felt slightly awkward standing in the middle of the room as she waited. She spoke to the lady on the couch, “Hey there-” Before Mia could finish, the lady shot glares at her and rushed into the bedroom.
Words failed Mia. She spun and stayed where she was. It would be unbecoming of her to enter the bedroom when Claude was changing clothes inside.
Soon enough, she could hear his voice. “What are you doing here? Are you crazy? Why are you stripping?” Worried that Mia would be appalled by the scene, he closed the door.
That woman seized the chance to hug him from the back. “Claude, I know you still have feelings for me. Didn’t you say that I have a hot body last night?” With a deadpan face, he grabbed her chin. “Yes. But you shouldn’t have talked ill about my sister. You’re nothing but a toy to me. You think I don’t know what you’ve been doing out there with my name?
“If you want to get away unscathed, leave this instant! Otherwise, the next guest to visit your doorstep will be a lawyer.” Claude himself admitted that he was a playboy. This woman actually did everything in her power to drive a wedge between him and his ex, only to become his girlfriend.
He turned a blind eye to it because she wasn’t the only toy he had.
He had always been generous and forgiving to his girlfriend, but there was a limit to it. No way he could condone his girlfriend getting mad at Mia, let alone blocking Mia’s number.
That woman shrunk her neck in the face of those frosty eyes. He was legitimately livid.
Disgusted, he removed her arms. “Pack up your stuff and get your ass back to Nord City!
“If I catch you staying here without my permission or causing Mia trouble, don’t blame me for not showing mercy. I can have you canceled with a lift of a finger.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 342-Horror finally registered in the woman’s system, hence her slow response. “Okay, I’ll leave. Don’t get angry. Let’s give each other some time. I’ll be waiting. We can talk after you come back to Nord City.” Claude’s eyes were steely. To him, there was nothing to talk about between them anymore.
As long as she hadn’t crossed the line, he wouldn’t have been bothered by her antics and little tricks. However, now that Mia was involved, he couldn’t let it slide.
He hummed in response. The solution for now was to send this crazy woman back to Nord City so that she wouldn’t cause him trouble in Bern City, as well as to save Mia from trouble.
His response brightened the woman up. She packed up her luggage happily.
As long as they didn’t break up, there were ways to wrap him around her fingers once he returned to Nord City.
Claude, who got changed, left the bedroom.
The way Mia faced her back in the bedroom appeared cute to him and he chuckled. “Sit. Why are you standing there?” She spun around, still finding the situation awkward. “Since everything’s resolved, should I go now? Why don’t the two of you sit down and talk?” After all, this was between him and his girlfriend. Mia shouldn’t get in their way.
“No. If someone has to leave, it’s her, not you.” As soon as he said that, the woman stormed out of the place with her luggage.
Now that they were alone, Mia asked, “Claude, did I get you into trouble? Did you explain it to her?“.
“She’s not someone important. This kind of woman-” He stopped halfway through his speech to speak gently. “Mia, she’s my girlfriend, nothing more than that. She won’t be your sister–in–law.” The corner of Mia’s lips twitched. It is official now–Claude was a playboy!
Sensing that he was losing respect from her, he elucidated, “Mia, dating and marriage are two different matters. See what happened a while ago? I think we’re not the right match.” Reality finally sank in her, that there was a playboy among her six brothers.
In the face of his gorgeous eyes, she couldn’t help but sigh. Claude did look like the popular guy among women.
A spasm of guilt hit him as he rubbed his nose, embarrassed. “Let’s go to the tourist attraction. I heard that it’s a popular place to watch the sunset.” Mia nodded. It was his relationship issue after all. She couldn’t meddle in it, could she? It was fortunate that they were a family.
And soon, they left Vania Hotel together and hopped into his car.
A black luxury car was parked by the roadside. Timothy witnessed them take the same car and he frowned. “Look into that man. Find out who is he.” A while ago, curiosity and worries simply got the best of him. He was curious what made Mia anxious and was worried about her safety.
It was a reasonable concern after considering how her adoptive parents actually kidnapped her to the mountains.
Yet, he turned out to be the clown! It was an unnecessary worry.
Heath called the hotel management to look into the matter, which put him in a tight position to tell Timothy the truth or not.
“Spill it.” Timothy loosened his tie.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 343-As if a thunderstorm clouded over him, Timothy was very irritated.
Heath decided to just bite the bullet and went for It. “According to the hotel manager, that man stays in a presidential suite.
“The cops were involved because his girlfriend caught him having an affair with another woman.” “Who’s the other woman?” Timothy questioned.
A sheen of cold sweat covered Heath’s forehead. Timothy was asking the obvious. This was a fatal question!
Left with no choice, Heath mustered the courage to answer. “It’s Mrs. Barrett.” He could sense the shift in the atmosphere as soon as he revealed that.
It took Timothy a while before he instructed, “Let’s go.” Heath was confused by the vague order.
Go? Where to?
Mia and Claude spent the whole afternoon visiting the tourist attractions nearby.
It had been years since she last went outside to have fun, let alone visit the local tourist attractions. Due to her financial circumstances, she had to work part–time jobs round the clock to earn a living.
It was getting late and they decided to call it a day.
Mia, who got into the car, took a glimpse at the rearview mirror.
Claude took the wheel. “What’s wrong, Mia?” “Nothing.” “It’s getting late. Let’s grab something to eat first. I came across a famous restaurant online. We can try it out.” It was the right timing, she was a little hungry too.
They drove to the famous restaurant. As they entered the restaurant, she happened to notice a familiar face–was that Felix?
Felix was sitting next to Janice. And sitting opposite them was a gorgeous lady.
He even poured a glass of water for the lady like a gentleman. The bouquet of roses on that empty chair added invisible pink bubbles to the air.
It seemed like a blind date.
Withdrawing her gaze, Mia followed Claude to a private lounge upstairs.
After returning home, Claude proffered Mia a black card. “Take it. Don’t mind the amount and buy whatever you want in the future.” Mia chuckled lightly. “Looks like your business is on a roll, huh? I heard that the vocational academy is going to be listed. Are there many intakes for piano lessons?” He looked at her. “You want to learn piano?” She shook her head. “No, just asking. I’m over the age for that.” At that moment, Patricia walked out of her room. “She had a knack for piano when she was young.
“Our neighbor downstairs bought an electronic keyboard, and she picked the pieces very quickly just by looking at the music scores.
“According to the neighbor, Mia was gifted at playing piano. Unfortunately, we were too poor to afford a piano and send her to piano lessons.” Her eyes were slightly red. “If Mia had grown up with you guys, she would’ve grown up like a princess. She wouldn’t have needed to go through the mill.” Claude’s mood turned sour at that.
Indeed. If that evil nanny hadn’t lost the young Mia, Mia wouldn’t have been wandering out there and suffering.
Solemnly, he said, “Anyone can start learning piano at any time. I came here to run a music academy in the city anyway. You can come and learn piano, Mia.” “Can I really start learning it from now?” He nodded. “The earliest time to start something is now.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 344-A bright smile adorned Mia’s face. “Great! I would like to try!” After all, she didn’t have to worry about money anymore now.
Besides, not being able to learn piano when she was young due to lack of money had always been a bitter regret. She would like to take the chance to make up for it.
Patricia turned into a happy bunny at the news. “You should definitely go for it, Mia. Claude is a piano teacher. He can teach you.” Claude was still hiding the fact that he was a pianist. Later on, he would have to call upon his team to establish a piano academy in Bern City.
He had the responsibility to make his lie into a reality no matter what it took.
Mia and Claude shared a short conversation regarding the piano lessons.
When she returned from a toilet break, he was not in the living room.
She scrutinized the balcony, which was also empty. “Where is he?” “He left because something urgent came up. This is the card he left for you.” The sight of the black card churned mixed feelings in her. Ever since her brothers‘ career was booming, they kept giving her money.
She held the black card. “Aunt Patricia, should I accept this? You taught me to live with pride even though we were poor.” “Silly girl. This is the money your brother gave you. They’re your family. I’ve asked, and Claude said that this is nothing to them. It’s your pocket money, so take it.
“You guys are a family, who’ll go through thick and thin together in the future.” She grinned. “You’re my family too.” “Mia, Dominic told me that it’ll take too long for you to settle the house installment alone. They can settle the payment for you first.
“Eva isn’t bothered by it either. You should give it a thought. You can pay him back anyway. It’s not a big deal.” “I’ll think about it.” “I’m glad to see how your family treats you well, Mia. Family members should help out one “Since you have a family to depend on, why don’t you enjoy the privilege? Don’t be too rigid, Wind down a little. Not anyone can have such a caring brother, let alone six of them. What’s holding you back?” Mia returned to her bedroom and Patricia’s words kept ringing in her ears. As Patricia had said, was Mia being too rigid in front of her brothers?
Her gaze fell upon the black card and she stroked her belly.
She took her phone out to call Dominic, who answered the call instantly. “Mia, what’s up?” “Are you busy?” “Nope. Fire away.” He placed his laptop down and strode to a quiet corner.
She recounted what Patricia had told her. “Dominic, do you think that I’m being too rigid in front of you guys?” A soft sigh escaped him. “I know we found you very late, Mia. It takes time to bond between siblings. We’re willing to wait for you to accept us.” Silence sat still over the line for a moment. “I would like to take the privilege then. Please lend me some money. I’d like to settle the house installment in one go.” A smirk played on his lips. “Happy to be of service.” The next day, Mia headed straight to the bank for an appointment to settle the house installment.
Right when she received a number, she bumped into Felix.
“Mia, what are you doing here early in the morning?” He sounded astonished.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 345-Mia actually didn’t expect to run into Felix at the bank.
She let it register in her for a moment. “I have business here. What about you?” He coughed. “Same.” He didn’t reveal his purpose and he appeared awkward for some reason.
A while later, an officer came up to them. “Miss, mister, are you here for a loan application?” “Yes,” replied Felix awkwardly.
The officer returned an indifferent look. “Please wait over there. Miss, how may I help you?” Her arm reached out, handing over the number. “I called this morning.” The officer’s expression lit up with a pristine smile. “Ms. Bowen, please come with me. Our manager has been waiting for you.” Such enthusiasm from the other party was out of her expectations. She cast an awkward glance at Felix before following the officer to the VIP room.
Meanwhile, Felix was surprised to learn that she was a VIP customer of the back. Only depositors of over a million dollars could enjoy such privilege.
He wanted to buy a house in Jeinburg, but all of his fortune was invested in the studio.
That was why he came to the bank for a loan. He wondered how much he could borrow.
Soon after, that same officer approached indifferently. “Give me the documents.” Felix sat down and handed him an envelope in an attempt to earn some brownie points. “Please take it as a token of appreciation.” The officer pushed the envelope back to him. “Mr. Quilter, honestly, it’s difficult for you to get another loan right now. Why don’t you look for another bank?” Felix’s face fell. “What? I thought things were going well the last time we talked.” “Mr. Quilter, you haven’t settled the loan for your studio. If you want to borrow so much money from a personal loan, the chances of getting an approval is low.” His mood was toppled upside down, but he couldn’t vent it out at the officer.
He peeked a glance at the VIP room.
“Do you know that rich and young lady?” asked the officer.
1/2 415 BONOS Felix’s eyes lit up at his chance. He coughed before answering, “I do. We graduated from the same school and she’s working at my studio right now.” “Impressive! How could you have someone as rich as her working for you? Dude, stop thinking of getting a loan. Why don’t you ask her if she’d like to invest?” Felix gulped down his saliva. “What is she doing here, though?” “To settle her house installment in advance. The figure goes up to millions! The money was transferred to her account last night, and she’s here to sign the documents.
“I expect nothing less from the rich. They can pay up millions in cash so readily.” A daring idea played on Felix’s mind after he heard that.
Last night, during the blind date, the lady was turned off when she learned that he didn’t own a house in Jeinburg. That was why he wanted to borrow a loan to buy a house.
Yet, so coincidentally, he bumped into Mia, who paid off millions of dollars to settle her mortgage.
How great it was if he could use that money to buy himself a house!
Felix asked, “How long do I have to make a prior appointment to be eligible for a deduction?” “It depends. About two weeks.” Felix started to structure out his plan. If he could win Mia’s heart, she might not refuse his request if he wanted to borrow money from her.
After all, it was meant for their future! It could be their newlywed house in the future!
The more he thought about it, the more plausible he thought it was.
An hour later, Mia finally settled the procedures and exited the VIP room.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 346-“You’re done, Mia?” Mia snapped her head up only to see Felix walking up to her, her expression stiff. Yes, Whut about you? Got the loan?” He sighed, “Nope. The procedures are kinda troublesome. This kind of thing takes time, it can’t be done in a short matter of time. Let’s go. Where are you going? I can give you a ride?
“I want to go to the study hall at my college. It’s not the same way as the studio, though. I’m fine going alone.” “What a coincidence! I need to drop by the college too. We can go together.” Nothing about the coincidence sounded odd to her. After all, Felix was able to establish his studio by receiving help from college. He sometimes visited for promotional activities and whatnot.
Felix drove the car while asking, “Mia, why did you go to the bank? You even went to the VIP room.
11 “Nothing. It was only for inquiry. I didn’t notice that it was a VIP room.” She hid the fact that she went there to repay her mortgage in advance.
Dominic wired the money to her account last night. He did it so quickly that it caught her off guard.
She didn’t say much and so Felix didn’t pry further. Regardless, the conjecture that she was loaded in cash was hardened into a fact.
Once the car reached the college, she got out of the car. He watched her back, not wanting to let this chance slip through his fingers.
Based on Felix’s speculations, Mia received that huge amount of money from her brothers. In fact, to be able to pay millions of dollars so readily at this age required a powerful family background.
The lady he had a blind date with yesterday was a capable woman, but she came from a humble family.
Although Mia didn’t receive a higher education, they shared the same alma mater! Adding her family background, she actually made up a decent candidate herself.
As an afterthought, Felix decided to focus on his pursuit of Mia.
It was the afternoon when Mia exited the study hall. The area was flocked with people.
Judging from the flowers and candles decorating the ground, a confession seemed to be going on.
“Mia.” The crowd made way for her to see Felix standing in the middle of the field of petals and candles.
A sense of foreboding dawned on her. Was he going to confess to her? The sheer thought of it made her skin crawl.
Felix took a few steps forward, closing in on her. “Mia, I’ve always thought you’re special from the first time I saw you in school, but I didn’t know what this feeling in me was.
“Until the day you showed up in the Fleur International Design Competition, I finally knew what it was. It was love.
“After that, I shamelessly scouted you to my studio. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep that day you accepted the offer.” At that point, Mia didn’t have the mood to listen any longer. She spoke up, “Felix, listen to me first.” “No, hear me out, Mia. It wasn’t easy to muster the courage to say this in front of so many people.
Please let me finish or I won’t be able to do it.
“Once you started coming to work, being able to see your side profile alone was enough to brighten my days. I know you’re a nice person and that you’re careful when it comes to relationships.
“Still, I’d still like to tell you that I can give you the sense of security you want. I’ll love and protect you forever. Please give me a chance.” He knelt on the ground on one knee with the bouquet of flowers in his arms.
Pink balloons flew into the sky. It was so romantic.
The ladies watching began squealing. “Gosh, he’s so romantic! Accept him!”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 347-Squeals and cheers surged among her Juniors, putting Mia in a tight spot. They took the atmosphere to its full swing without even knowing the context.
In contrast with her frowning expression, Felix’s eyes held overflowing anticipation. “Mia, what’s holding you back?” What she witnessed back at that famous restaurant crossed her mind. “Felix, don’t you have a girlfriend?” He should at least spill the fact that he got to know someone from a blind date and that the female companion had met his parent.
“I don’t, Mia. You must’ve misunderstood something,” he quickly denied.
At that moment, a group of people appeared by the stairs near the office.
Standing at the stairs, Timothy happened to see Mia outside the building with a man kneeling before her.
Judging from the back, that man seemed to be the owner of the studio, Felix.
Kennedy smiled at that. “It’s not uncommon for this kind of event to happen on campus. Youth, oh, youth.” Timothy’s eyes slightly narrowed. “It is uncommon. But he’s confessing to my wife. What’s going on?” As soon as Timothy’s voice dropped, Kennedy’s expression went stiff. The latter rubbed his eyes to take a closer look. The woman in question was indeed Mia!
If his memories served him right, when Mia was rumored to be sponsored by a sugar daddy, Timothy tossed a marriage certificate onto his table in the office to prove their relationship.
However, the Barretts later requested for the issue to be buried down the radar. Therefore, no one was aware that Timothy’s wife attended this college as of today.
Pulling out a napkin, Kennedy wiped the sweat on his forehead off. “I–I’ll call the security guards over to clear up the mess immediately.” At the same time, Kennedy which bastard it was that would dare confess to Mia. The bastard should’ve known his place better!
Meanwhile, the crowd grew as people flocked. Mia was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
1/2 415 BONOS Things were escalating out of her expectations, catching her off guard. She thought she had made herself clear to Felix previously.
Unable to turn a blind eye to this, Mia watched Felix seriously, “Felix, I was married once.” Her revelation stumped Felix. “Mla, you’re using this excuse twice to reject me.” “I’m not joking, Felix, I was married. It’s the truth.” Felix observed her expression, sensing that it was neither an excuse nor a lie. Was it really true?
His hesitance prompted her to add on. “I stopped coming to school for three years because I got married. I returned to school only after I was divorced.” “I see.” Traces of awkwardness were evident from his face.
The fact that she had such a history blew his mind. He thought she was joking this entire time!
Still, the thought of Mia’s rich brothers–who could pay millions of dollars so easily–wavered Felix.
So what if she had divorced? At least, she was filthy rich!
After weighing the pros and cons, he announced aloud, “Mia, I don’t care if you’re divorced. That ain’t gonna shake up my feelings and my will to be with you!
“Also, I’d like to thank your ex–husband for letting you go. You’re too good of a person for me to let you go.” His reply stunned her as she didn’t foresee that from him at all.
Based on what she overheard from Janice, Felix shouldn’t be able to accept a divorced woman as his partner.
“Say ‘yes!‘ Say ‘yes!“” The watching people were at it again.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 348-“Why the hesitance? He’s not bothered by you being a divorced woman.” “I know, right? He’s such a romanticist. Accept him! Stop standing there, spacing out. You don’t want to miss this good guy!” Felix showed a triumphant face upon hearing that. He had many experiences in pursuing women.
His failure rate? Close to nil. It wasn’t that challenging to make Mia fall for him.
He now knew why she had been avoiding his pursuit. The fact that she was a divorced woman kept breaking her confidence.
That was why she couldn’t accept his feelings!
The course of reasoning lent him more confidence, that it would be his win this time round.
As long as they tied the knot, Mia’s brothers would support and invest in his studio. Once he achieved success, he could divorce her and marry someone else.
Meanwhile, Mia was in distress. If Mia rejected him in public, it would be an embarrassment for him.
Still, she felt the need to clear things up with him lest the misunderstanding deepened.
She inhaled a deep breath. “Felix, you’re a good guy. But I don’t think we’re a compatible match-” Before she finished, some security guards showed up to disperse the crowd.
One of them aimed a fire extinguisher at the candles. It turned into a mess within seconds.
Felix’s visage turned grim at that, and he questioned them, “What are you guys doing? Can’t you see what we’re up to? Read the room.” His campus popularity had fanned his ego. Now that the security guards ruined the scene, it gave his pride a huge hit, and so he took it out on them.
A security guard responded calmly, “We’re just following the rules. Dangerous activities are prohibited within the campus grounds.” Felix told them off. “What rules? Is it because I drop by without giving you anything? I’ll make up for it at a later date. Don’t get in my way.” Ignoring him, the security guards discarded those candles into a trash bin.
+15 BONOS He huffed, “Are you deaf? Are you ready to lose your job? I can gladly grant your wish by talking to Mr. Shaw.” “It’s his orders that we’re following,” the security guard replied.
He paused. “No way.” “What no way? It is my orders.” Right then, Kennedy presented himself.
Most of the students had dispersed.
Mia lifted her head in Kennedy’s direction. There were also a few men in suits besides Kennedy.
One of them stood out the most. His good looks alone drew all attention. It was Timothy.
He glowered in annoyance. “Mr. Shaw, it looks like safety awareness is not high amongst the students here.” Kennedy quickly explained, “This kind of dangerous activity is prohibited within the campus. I swear! Felix knows it very well and has pushed his luck.
“Felix, you’re a high–achievement graduate here. How could you lead such a bad example?” Kennedy shifted his target to Felix, the chosen scapegoat for this trouble.
The consequences would be too much for the college to handle otherwise.
It was hard for Felix to look at Timothy. “I can explain. I’ve gone out of my way for this to confess to Mia. I don’t usually do this. I hope you can understand, Mr. Barrett. She’s your cousin, isn’t she?” An ambiguous smile hung across Timothy’s lips. “My cousin? Who said so?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 349-Mia was alarmed by Timothy’s response. Just what was that bastard scheming?
Was he planning to reveal their relationship one day before they divorced? The divorce would happen tomorrow!
It left her on tenterhooks.
Kennedy chided. “What cousin? Shut up, Felix!” He couldn’t believe his ears when Felix blurted that. Mia was Timothy’s wife!
How could Felix dare to hit on the wife of the richest man in the city? She was way out of his league!
Mia’s cheeks heated at the mention of that word.
Back when Wilhelmina spread awful rumors about Mia, Timothy personally resolved the issue by taking their marriage certificate to Kennedy’s office.
Thus, Kennedy was aware that they were a married couple.
Timothy’s unfriendly gaze priced through Felix. “How could someone like you confess to her? I object!” Felix’s face paled. “Hear me out, Mr. Barrett!” Now that Timothy was acting as her cousin, Mia wished she could bury herself in a hole.
Timothy ignored Felix and took a step forward, looking at her. “What are you standing there for, cousin sister? Come on, let’s go.‘ Under those watchful gazes, she forced herself to move and leave the place with him.
Felix wanted to follow but was stopped by the security guards.
Kennedy frowned. “Felix, you were a bright man. Why are you suddenly acting this way? Mia’s out of your league.” Felix was too prideful to admit his defeat. “Why can’t I when she’s a woman and I’m a man? I have the freedom to make a choice. You don’t have the right to intervene in this.” After getting together with Mia and having her brothers invest in his studio, he would no longer need to butter up the people in college.
The fact that Mla was a divorced woman gave him more reason to be confident. This kind of woman was an easy target.
To add on, he hadn’t gotten married before, making him more valuable than Mia, Mia was smart enough to know that rejecting him was a foolish decision.
With a frosty expression, Felix turned and left. He didn’t want to waste any second longer with Kennedy.
Snorting at Felix’s arrogant attitude, Kennedy turned to his secretary, “Pull back all the investment we made in him.
“No use keeping this man under our wing. He’s bound to be a jumble of trouble. The sooner we cut ties with him, the better it is.” Getting on Timothy’s bad books and losing the investment from the Barrett family would be a huge casualty to the college.
Kennedy intended to offer some advice to Felix, who seemed oblivious to Mia’s relationship with Timothy. But Felix’s attitude made him think twice.
Shortsighted people were bound to meet their end sooner or later anyway.
Mia and Timothy left the campus together.
Settling in the back seat, she glanced at the man beside her. “What were you doing over here?” “Why ask? Is it because I ruined your happy occasion back there?” Timothy’s sharp tongue was at it again.
She rested in her seat. “It wasn’t really a happy occasion. Thank god you showed up there. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known how to get out of that situation.” “Why not? It’s so romantic to have someone kneel on one knee to confess to you,” he teased, sour about what had happened.
As soon as he finished, he realized how sour his tone sounded and decided to have a shut–eye and stay quiet.
She calmly answered, “That depends. I don’t feel the same for Felix. It’s like how I got married to you with my one–sided feelings and you gave me the cold shoulder for three whole years after waking up.
“Nothing’s romantic about having someone you don’t like liking you.” There was a tremendous 2/3 The driver and Heath hushed their breath.
Maybe, Mia was the only person on the planet who dared to talk back at Timothy.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 350-Instead of getting angry, Timothy was happy to hear that Mia didn’t like Felix.
However, he couldn’t understand why she weighed him and Felix on the same parallel. Unlike that bastard, Timothy would never set her up!
A faint smile spread across his lips. “Guess your judgment of character is still not that bad. Felix’s character is a failure. He falls short in a lot of areas compared to his high ambitions.
“Not to mention his desire for fame and glory, as well as his calculating side.” “Timothy Barrett, is it fun to degrade others?” Although Mia didn’t like Felix, he was a diligent man.
He wasn’t as bad as Timothy described.
“I’m laying out the facts.” “And I deem your judgment too feeble. Step up your games.” She turned her head to the window, ending the conversation.
The sight of the back of her head annoyed him.
More frustration bubbled up in him when he recalled she left that hotel with a man. Timothy didn’t know where they went thereafter.
Mia was always with different men, gorgeous–looking men at that.
She checked the time. “Drop me off at that street.” “You live here?” He cast her a glance.
“I can take the subway home. It’s convenient.” “Which neighborhood do you live in? I can send you home.” “No need the trouble. You’ll have to take a different direction.” The downright rejection took a hit on his pride as he kicked the driver’s seat. “Did you hear her? Stop the car. Let her down.” Quickly, the driver pulled over by the road.
Mia got out of the car immediately, but she stood beside the car door hesitantly before looking at Timothy.
His eyes shone in anticipation. “What?” If she decided to accept the ride right now, he didn’t mind giving her a second chance.
“See you at the courthouse at 9 am tomorrow,” she reminded him seriously.
Words failed him.
Before he reacted, the car door was slammed shut. His face was gloomy as he loosened his tie, not even knowing the reason behind his anger.
By the time Mia arrived home, Patricia had prepared a feast for dinner.
With every single bite taken, Claude couldn’t stop exclaiming how delicious the food was. His compliments made Patricia’s day as she couldn’t stop the grin on her face.
Only then did Mia realize how much of a flirt he was. In addition to his good looks, his slick tongue could win any woman’s heart like a breeze!
After the meal, the siblings sat on the couch. She said in an undertone, “Claude, I finally know why you’re so popular with women. You have a way with words.” “Can’t help it. I’m born with it.” “Teach me.” He stroked her head. “You don’t need to learn it. Anything you say can make others happy. You don’t have to think of ways to butter others up.
