Ch. 371..380

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 371-The mention of stir–fried chicken reminded Mia of the one Patricia made. It was delicious.

Suppressing the discomfort churning in her, she ordered a delivery before looking at Felix. “It’s getting late. I should get going.” “So soon? Didn’t you order a delivery? We can have it together.” “It’s alright, Mrs. Quilter. I can eat at home. Besides, I’ve only ordered one serving. It’s not enough for two people.” Mia could barely manage her expression.

Janice didn’t mind it. “I don’t eat much, stay and join me. It’s fine. Besides, Felix didn’t finish the meat. There are still a lot of them.

“It’s the swee sweet and sour pork you like and there’s some soup left too. You should have some.

Finish the leftovers so that we can make him fresh meals. Patients shouldn’t eat leftovers. How about that?” Mia was smart enough to not buy that at face value. She almost fainted from hunger there!

Now, Janice was trying to convince Mia to finish Felix’s leftover food. Never in her life would Mia allow herself to be mistreated.

Not wanting to say more, Mia simply turned and left.

She rued her decision to come, deciding no more playing the good person next time.

If Claude hadn’t beaten Felix up, she wouldn’t have nursed him the whole afternoon only to be taken for granted in the end.

Once the mother and son were alone, Felix frowned. “You crossed the line, Mom.” “Oh, so you actually know how talk? Why didn’t you speak earlier?” “I’m putting on a show for the police. To be more precise, it was a show for Mia. If he managed to earn pity from her, it might be easy for him to ask favors of her.

Janice praised, “Smart idea! That was unbecoming of her to have the chicken soup and sweet and sour pork. What if the portion is not enough for you?

“I know you like her, but we should set the rule starting now. Once she becomes one of us, she should put you before anything too. So what if it’s leftover food? Isn’t it a given for women?” Like mother, like son, Felix didn’t see any fault with that. Still, he insisted while frowning. “Don’t do TIU DUNUS “To make sure everything goes according to plan, we can set the rules after Mia and I are finally official.” rs weren’t auto.

Mia’s with. Felix deemed it safer to act like a lovesick fool until she fell for him.

“Felix, it’s a long journey coming to the hospital from home. It won’t be easy for me to make more food. It takes up a lot of time to make a meal for three. Why don’t you ask Mia to settle the meals? She can bring it over for us.” He hesitated. “I don’t think she’ll say yes.” “I’ll talk to her tomorrow. She’ll say yes. Things would be much easier for me then. If she looks.

after you, I’ll have more time for myself. Don’t worry, I know how to deal with women.” Felix was at peace of mind. The fact that he was hurt because of Claude gave him more confidence to believe that she would nurse him from now on.

This time, he promised himself to win her heart so that her brothers could invest in his company. Otherwise, he could resort to law by suing Claude.

Now, he held leverage over Mia and her brothers!

Closing his eyes, he began making calculations for his plan–moving into Mia’s house alongside Janice.

On the other hand, Mia felt better after having a bowl of noodles at a restaurant.

She figured that she better concoct a plan with Jason if Felix really sued Claude.

If they opted to resolve the issue personally, it was inevitable to pay Felix a huge amount of compensation.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 372-After all, Janice was not an easy woman to deal with.

When Mia arrived home, her eyes were threatening to close due to exhaustion. She looked at Patricia. “I’d like to have stir–fried chicken and sweet and sour pork tomorrow.” “Alright. I’ll buy fresh meat tomorrow for that. You should Invite Claude over for a meal too.” It was only then did Mia realized why there was no news from Claude that day. Maybe guilt was eating him up after he had beaten Felix up.

She took a shower in her room and flopped on the bed. With how tired Mia was, nothing could stop her from falling asleep. She desperately needed a break.

The next morning, the sound of her phone ringing woke her up.

She answered the call groggily. “Hello?” “Rise and shine, Mia! We have grocery shopping to do so we can cook up a hearty meal for Felix. I’m old for this. I’m thinking of leaving it to you. Take this chance to learn his likes and dislikes-” Mia hung up the call right away and checked the time–it was only 5:00 am!

Did Janice hit her up this morning for grocery shopping just so she could cook for Felix? How ridiculous!

She put her phone on silent mode, signing off from being their maid. Felix’s matter didn’t bother her anymore.

With Jason there to help, Claude wouldn’t be in trouble anyway.

Mia laid back on her bed and slept in until she woke up naturally. Yawning, she finally felt alive after a good sleep.

She checked her phone only to realize that there were a few missed calls from Janice. Obviously, Janice was persistent.

However, all Mia wished for was to take a break. After all, she was a pregnant woman. She didn’t have the energy to be at someone’s beck and call.

The moment she waltzed out of her room, the nice smell from the kitchen wafted her nose. It was mouth–watering.

“Aunt Patricia, you are the best cook ever!” “Where’s Claude? Invite him over,” suggested Patricia.

Mia reached out to Claude. The line got through very quickly this time, but it was a woman speaking. “Hello?” Dumbfounded, Mia realized that the voice sounded different from before. Did Claude get into a new relationship?

Recalling her past mistake, Mia said, “Sorry, I got the wrong number.” The call was disconnected just like that.

Considering that Claude had a female companion at the moment, they must’ve been to the hotel. last night. Therefore, Mia reckoned that it was better she let him be.

Mia made up an excuse, informing Patricia that he was busy with work. Patricia believed it and Mia had the delicious stir–fried chicken and sweet and sour pork all for herself.

As much as her heart was full of contentment, her belly was round. As she thought, nothing beat food when it came to enjoying life!

“Mia, your appetite is growing these days. You look rounder than before. Women should always keep fit or it’ll be difficult for them to get a partner.

“Look at your belly. People who don’t know you might take you as a pregnant woman!” Mia’s expression went stiff for a moment before she broke into a smile. “Well, I’m pregnant with stir–fried chicken, sweet and sour pork and fish soup.” Patricia guffawed at that.

Mia took a break after the meal. Suddenly, her phone rang, and this time, it was Felix.

Taking a glimpse at her phone, she went to the balcony to answer the call. “Hello, Felix.” “Mia, don’t mind my mother. She’s always like this. She’s always thinking about what’s best for me.” “I understand, but could you ask her to stop calling me in the future? I won’t ever be her daughter- in–law in, so she doesn’t have to teach me how to be a good wife.” Her tone was monotonous.

“What do you mean by that? Are you not going to take care of me at the hospital anymore, Mia?”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 373-Felix’s blatant tone struck as absurd to Mia.

Like mother, like son; both Janice and Felix were shameless.

Since they confronted her with that kind of attitude, Mia figured that there was nothing else to talk about between them anymore.

Mia replied bluntly, “Felix, I’m not obliged to take care of you. What I did yesterday was my final act of kindness toward you.” “Mia, if it weren’t for your brother, I wouldn’t have been hospitalized. I kept quiet about who the offender was to the police because of you. I sacrificed so much for you. Can’t you be a little understanding?” Right then, Janice’s squeaky voice piped up. “What? Felix, are you saying that Mia’s brother was the cause of your injury? Why didn’t you tell me?” Then, the phone was thrust into Mia’s hands. “Come to the hospital now, Mia Bowen. I have to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, I’ll call the police to have your brother arrested.” “Be my guest.” Mia hung up the call.

She was still worried, but Jason had given her his word that everything would be fine.

So, everything should be fine, right?

Although Claude was the offender, not her, Jason wouldn’t sit still and do nothing about it. They were brothers after all.

The thought eased her mind. In the afternoon, she headed to college for lectures.

She needed to catch up with her studies so that she could pass the examinations in one attempt.

Mia’s phone rang incessantly, but she ignored it.

Felix’s true colors were finally showing. If he was using the assault incident as leverage now, he might request more from her in the future.

After some thought, she decided she’d rather he went to the police.

Claude wouldn’t leave traces that easily, so it was possible that Felix couldn’t find any evidence to charge Claude with assault.

On top of that, one of the family members–Jason–was a lawyer. Everything should be fine.

During her study break, she went to the restroom to check the barrage of missed calls and messages from Janice and Felix.

She ignored them, then an entertainment article popped up in her notification.

Love Intrigue Unfolds: Talented Singer Accused of Dating Wealthy Heir.” When Mia saw the picture of the talented singer, she recalled the woman hot on Connor’s heels that night.

That was the same woman!

Mia initially assumed that something was going on between the duo, but it seemed like she was ahead of herself.

Her finger instinctively clicked the link, revealing the singer looking all sophisticated in a black dress.

However, the reporter only managed to capture the back of the man next to her.

Staring at the familiar back, Mia zoomed into the picture. Judging from the button on the suit, she was confident that the man was Timothy.

Because she had personally chosen and sewn that button for him. There was no way she would mistake it for something else.

A wry smile tugged at her lips as she looked at the picture. Feelings began stirring up a mess in her.

Before this, it was the wealthy Ms. Lane. This time, it was a famous singer.

Both women were on his level, making them a good match.

Indeed, Mia had resolved to get over him. However, seeing him with another woman still stung.

Bitterness crept in. She carressed her belly. “Babies, you’re the only ones I have now. Let’s forget about this ungrateful man.”f

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 374-That bastard actually called Mia yesterday to mock her for being a playgirl, but he wasn’t in the position to do so.

Furious, she sent the picture to Timothy. ‘You’re no saint either. Is this another backup girl of yours?” But after typing it out, she felt it was too long to assert her dominance.

In the end, she edited her message and imitated his terse style. ‘Wow.” That was enough to ooze sarcasm.

Mean people usually didn’t say much.

Then, Mia set her phone aside and returned to her seat, back to her studies.

Yet, she couldn’t focus at all. She kept stealing glances at her phone as she wondered how Timothy would respond to her message.

To her disappointment, he didn’t reply.

A while later, her phone screen suddenly lit up to show a notification from WhatsApp.

She checked her phone only after calming herself down. Turned out it wasn’t a reply from Timothy, but a message from Felix.

‘Mia, I recorded what you confessed to me in the room that day. About how your brother was actually the offender.” Mia recollected her memories. Indeed, she actually admitted it.

Frowning, she contacted Felix. “What do you want?” “Come to the hospital. Let’s talk.” “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about between us.” “If you don’t come, I’ll send the voice recording to the police. You don’t want your brother to be taken to prison for this, do you?” She furrowed her brows. In the end, she gave in and agreed to drop by the hospital.

She packed up and took a cab to the hospital.

It was obvious what Felix was up to. He was going to leverage the voice recording to achieve Regardless, she was mentally prepared for it. Worst–case scenario, the police would obtain the voice recording anyway.

Mia entered the room, where Felix and Janice were present. Mia’s expression was cold. “What do you want to talk about?” Janice chastised, “What’s with that attitude? If it hadn’t been for your brother, would Felix have ended up like this? If Felix hadn’t liked you, I would’ve stopped him from going out with a divorced woman.

Mia mocked, “Mrs. Quilter, I’ve never liked your son. Not even for a brief moment. And I’ve never accepted his feelings. I think you’re getting ahead of yourself, seeing me as your future daughter- in–law.” Why beat around the bush when things had gotten this ugly? From the way Mia saw it, there was no need for that.

Janice’s fingers were trembling with anger. “Since you know your place, why are you still working at my son’s place? How shameless of you!” “I don’t think that’s the right choice of words, Mrs. Quilter. First, Felix was the one who offered me to work for him. When I wanted to quit, he was the one asking me to stay. You can ask him to verify that.” Mia shifted her gaze to Felix, not wanting to speak to Janice.

But she had underestimated him.

“Mia, I thought you had feelings for me when you accepted my offer. Otherwise, why didn’t you go to those huge companies instead? All I have is a small studio.” Now that utterly disgusted Mia. She didn’t expect him to stoop lower than how he had threatened her with a voice recording.

“Where’s the voice recording? What do you plan to do with it?” She dived into the main topic right away.f

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 375-Mia didn’t want to waste time beating around the bush. Not even for a second.

Yet, Felix gave her a loving look. “Mia, you’re avoiding my question.” Disgusted, she retorted, “I swore that if I have feelings for you, I’ll be struck by lightning. Do you understand me?” Her blatant vow left him completely stunned.

Never had he imagined being looked down upon like this.

In his mind, a divorced woman like Mia shouldn’t be picky when faced with a career man like him.

Still, he regained his composure very quickly. “Mia, you don’t have to be so harsh. I won’t give the voice recording to the police on one condition–be my girlfriend. Once we become a family, your brothers are my brothers. I won’t hold him accountable for it.” This was a setup, an overt setup.

How could Felix talk about family? So casually at that?

The world was indeed a strange place.

She thought that her adoptive parents had bizarre characters, but Felix and Janice took it to a whole new level.

It finally hit her that good people were hard to come by.

Timothy had warned her that Felix was a calculating man, and so did Claude. Now, she finally saw it for herself.

Just as she thought, he was trying to threaten her with the assault incident.

Helplessly, she proposed, “Felix, we can compensate you for what had happened. Name a price.” Janice’s eyes lit up at that, but Felix rejected it without a second thought, “I don’t want money. I want you.” A marriage was all it would take for him to wrap Mia around his fingers and tap into her brothers” resources, which was more advantageous than a one–time compensation.

Mia found the situation absurd. “Felix, as your mother said, a divorced woman like me doesn’t deserve you.” “The person I like is you, Mia. Your divorce has nothing to do with my feelings.” “Felix, actually there’s something I haven’t told you–I’m pregnant.” She resorted to her last option.

Janice piped up. “You’re pregnant? Is it Felix’s?” Mia was speechless at that, not understanding how the other party’s brains work.

Her being pregnant with Felix’s child? Only when pigs started flying!

Calmly, Mia replied, “It’s my ex–husband’s, and they’re twins. I’m keeping them. If you want to be with me, congratulations in advance for becoming a father–to–be. Can you accept this?” Felix couldn’t accept the fact that the babies weren’t his.

His jaw tightened as he stole a glimpse of her belly. “As long as I can be with you, I can accept anything, Mia.” As long as he had the money in the future, he would have his own kids someday.

Meanwhile, Mia didn’t expect that answer from him. It was somewhat touching, but it sounded like a lie to her.

For the past few days, Claude had been giving her relationship lessons, imparting ways to distinguish between a man’s lies and truthful words.

It wasn’t normal for someone to be unfazed by such harsh realities. In fact, Felix accepted it way too fast.

Obviously, he had ulterior motives.

Mia couldn’t understand him. “Felix, what exactly about me do you like? I might as well change it.” Why would he like an orphan like her?

“I’ve shown you my sincerity. I don’t think any man in this world will be able to do this far. I can jump off the building for you too.” Labeling him as unhinged, she blurted, “Felix, I don’t like you. Even if you’re dead, I will never like you. That’s it.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 390-Timothy stared intently at Mia and finally hissed through gritted teeth, “Very well.” Mia clenched her hands, determined not to back down for the sake of her child.

“Mia, you and Connor truly are cut from the same cloth. Both of you keep using Grandma Laura to threaten me,” growled Timothy.

Upon hearing Connor’s name, Mia suddenly tell a panu of anxiety. Did Connor negotiate with Timothy?

Connor was the only brother who knew about her marriage to Timothy and her pregnancy.

Mia telt worried. “Please don’t make things difficult for him. This is my decision. He didn’t agree with me keeping the child either.” “He didn’t agree with you keeping the child?” Timothy didn’t expect Connor to also oppose keeping the child. Then why was Mia so insistent on keeping it?

He angrily tugged at his tic. “It’s foolish to use a child to tie down a man.” Mia looked up at him mockingly. “I know.” “And yet you still do it? You truly are a dumb romantic!” Timothy sneered.

After learning about Mia’s health, Timothy sent someone to Investigate whether It was suitable for her to have an abortion. He even found the best doctor to perform the abortion for her and help her recover so that she may have children in the future.

Timothy didn’t understand why she was so fixated on Connor.

Mia flashed him a weird smile. “That’s right. If I weren’t a dumb romantic, why would I have. married you and been at your beck and call for the past three years?’ Timothy, are you so concerned about me and the child because you want to keep me by your side?” Mia waited for Timothy’s cold and mocking retort.

But to her surprise, he remained unusually calm, merely gazing deeply at her and making her uneasy.

Finally, Timothy said coldly. “That’s a possibility.” That caught Mia off guard and made her feel unsettled.

Timothy’s gaze darkened. Under the bright light, Mia couldn’t find any imperfection on his flawless +15 BONOS He continued, “You know Grandma Laura likes you. I even lied that you were pregnant to deceive her into having surgery. But I didn’t expect you to actually be pregnant. It’s a fortunate coincidence. If we don’t divorce, we can pretend that nothing happened, and everything will be the same as before.” “Everything will be the same as before?” Mia was dumbfounded. Did that mean Timothy didn’t want a divorce?

She didn’t know what was going on inside Timothy’s head.

Timothy looked uneasy, but he quickly composed himself. “Of course, you can have all the fame and power you want as Mrs. Barrett. We can share the glory together.” Mia’s eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat. She blurted out. “But the child isn’t yours.” “I know. But I never have any demands regarding marriage or children. However, you must cut ties with Connor and refrain from associating with anyone from the Lane family.” Timothy could tolerate Mia giving birth to the child, but he wouldn’t allow her to have any contact with the child’s father!

Mia’s mind was a mess. She couldn’t possibly cut ties with Connor for the sake of the child.

However, Timothy seemed to have misunderstood her relationship with Connor, thinking that her brother was the father of the child.

“Mia Bowen! That is my bottom line.” Timothy declared, his tone unwavering.

Just as he finished speaking, he received a call from an unknown number. “Hello, this is the police department. There is a case of kidnapping and assault that requires your presence at the police station…”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 376-If this conversation continued any further, Mia feared her blood pressure might rise through the roof.

“Mia Bowen, are you going to leave like this? What about the voice recording?” She looked over her shoulder at Felix. “Why don’t you let me hear it first?” Silence hung in the air for a moment and she knew instantly that it was a lie–he didn’t possess. any sort of voice recording.

The visit was unnecessary after all.

Annoyed, she began wondering why Claude hadn’t been responding to her messages. The issue could only be resolved after she spoke to him.

However, Claude appeared to be unreliable at the moment.

Mia, who was going to leave the hospital, exited the elevator while dwelling on the repulsive emotions which surfaced after her discussion with Felix and Janice.

Right then, Timothy phoned Mia.

She picked up the call immediately. “Anything?” “About the picture, it’s not what you think.” Everything was unfolding in a way which exceeded her expectations today. Timothy was actually explaining his relationship with another woman to her? Unbelievable.

“Enough. I’m tired of your nonsense. I’m hanging up,” she said coldly.

In a sudden burst, Janice’s piercing voice echoed from behind. “Mia Bowen, how could you be this cruel? Felix had jumped off the building for you! You ungrateful bitch!” Mia spun around in response only to be pushed by Janice, crashing to the ground.

She instinctively shielded her belly and color drained from her face as she shrieked in pain.

Timothy, still on the phone, asked anxiously, “Mia, what happened? Where are you?” She tried to grab the phone, but it was out of her reach. Clenching her teeth, she groaned,” Timothy, I…” Before she could say anything, darkness enveloped her, and she fainted.

On the other end, Timothy had just landed from a flight. His expression turned icy as he turned to Heath. “Which hospital is Felix at?” “Hope Hospital.” “Get a helicopter ready Immediately! I’m heading there,” Timothy ordered sharply, his expression tense.

He dialed Mia’s number again, but no one answered.

Dread shrouded him like a cloak. It was that same emotion again.

The last time he felt this way was when he caught wind of Mia’s abduction. Although she had Connor, Timothy pulled every string he had to look for her.

Now, her desperate cry for him stifled his chest. He almost couldn’t breathe.

Recentering himself, he spoke to Heath, “Mia might’ve been hurt in the hospital. Contact the director right now. Tell him to make sure she’s safe.” The bombshell of Mia getting hurt in the hospital surprised Heath so much that he broke into a cold sweat.

A helicopter was swiftly prepared. Timothy wasted no time to fly to Hope Hospital.

In the meantime, he received a call from the director of the hospital. “Mr. Barrett, your wife has been taken to the emergency room.” Timothy’s expression darkened. “Make sure she comes out of the room safely. I’ll arrange for the medical equipment you need to be sent later.” “Don’t worry, Mr. Barrett. We’ll make sure she’s safe, but she’s not doing well at the moment,” Sky Manson reported.

Timothy’s jaw clenched. “Did she hurt her head?‘ “No. She’s pregnant.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 377-Timothy’s mind raced as he processed the news.

“Mia’s pregnant? Who’s the father then?” Questions flooded his mind.

Before he could dwell on it further, Sky’s voice resounded through the phone. “Mr. Barrett, if something bad happens, who will you choose? The mother or the baby?” Faced with the unexpected dilemma, Timothy took a deep breath.

All he knew right now was that he was the joke of the universe–he was cheated on.

If Mia was pregnant, what would that make him?

Coldly, he retorted, “Must I state the obvious?” “The baby?” the director asked for confirmation as heirs were normally important to rich people.

A shadow crossed Timothy’s face. “Save the mother. The baby isn’t important.” He would never care about a kid that wasn’t his.

Reining in his urge to demand the hospital to treat Mia was the greatest benevolence he could possibly offer.

If someone told him to care about the baby, he didn’t know what he might be capable of doing.

Meanwhile, Heath learned a significant piece of information from that conversation–Mia was pregnant!

Heath thought that Timothy should be celebrating over the news.

However, judging from the latter’s dark expression, it seemed like the baby wasn’t his.

Although Heath had faith in Mia’s character, he didn’t have the guts to speak up.

After the call, Timothy was all grumpy. Heath kept his lips sealed.

Would he get killed for knowing this secret?

Being a secretary nowadays requires nerves of steel.

20 minutes later, the helicopter landed on the roof of the hospital.

Timothy alighted and the director welcomed him. Timothy was a big sponsor of the hospital, making him an important guest to the director.

Despite his grumpy face. Timothy couldn’t hide his concern. “How’s she doing?” “Congratulations. Mr. Barrett. Both the mother and the baby are fine.” Timothy paused momentarily, for he actually had hoped the baby would be gone because of this accident.

Wordlessly, he darted to the VIP patient room.

Mia laid in bed, her expression serene.

No matter how livid he was, all he could do was suppress his emotions for now.

He looked over his shoulder at the director. “What happened to her? I heard something on the phone. Someone must’ve pushed her.” Mia wouldn’t have screamed so suddenly over the phone for nothing. Something must’ve happened.

He heard a middle–aged woman scolding. She must have something to do with the accident.

Sky answered, “We checked the surveillance footage. Someone did push Mrs. Barrett. But while we were busy tending to Mrs. Barrett, that woman and her son had left the hospital. They ran away.” Timothy loosened his tie, unable to understand why Mia came to the hospital to take care of that calculating man. She was hurt in the end.

A possibility crossed his mind–was Felix the father of the baby?

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 378-Sky continued, “Don’t worry, Mr. Barrett. We’ll get to the bottom of this. They haven’t paid off their medical bills.” “Keep it down. No need to speak so loudly, I can hear you loud and clear,” Timothy reprimanded in a hushed tone.

But it was useless because Mia had regained consciousness.

All she could feel was pain all over her body. As she blinked open her eyes, her hand instinctively moved to her belly, fearing for her babies.

Their well–being hung in uncertainty, driving her anxious. She raised her head only to see Timothy standing there.

Her heart skipped a beat. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you on a business trip? Is this a dream?

He sneered. “Why? Guilty to see me?” She bit her lip, not uttering a word.

Heath, sensing the tension, hurriedly signaled at Sky and the others.

It was best to give Timothy and Mia some time alone for certain discussions.

The room was emptied, leaving the duo alone.

A weak Mia rested against the headboard, noticing her bandaged knees and disinfected elbow.

Although her question was still hanging in the air, she dared not ask anything about her babies under Timothy’s presence.

“Are you dumb, Mia Bowen? Didn’t you announce your plan to be a playgirl? Picking up as many backup men as you can? Are you happy now that your backup man has rebelled against you?” His snide remark hurt her. “This is an accident. Who would’ve known that crazy woman would hurt me?” Mia countered.

“What’s wrong? Are things not going according to your plan? I thought you were taking care of that calculating man. Did you fail to do a good job and ended up getting picked on by your future mother–in–law?” She shot him a look of disbelief. “Who told you that I was here to take care of him? I only came for “Then, why were you here? Wandering around in the hospital to see what kind of illness you fall under?*

Irked, she shot back, “You’re the one who’s mentally ill! It’s all because Felix is hospitalized. If I hadn’t come, he would’ve filed a police report!” “What did you say?” Timothy arched his eyebrows.

“Someone beat him up and broke his leg. That’s why he was hospitalized. I came here to resolve the issue with him. Otherwise, why would I be here?” she huffed in one breath.

His expression became unreadable. No matter how hard she tried to decipher him, his expression made her skin crawl. “Why are you staring at me like that?” Timothy didn’t expect Mia to confront Felix for that incident, hence the surprise. “Even if he had done that, I don’t think the culprit would be found.” The men he hired were veterans, who had given Felix broken legs only, nothing more. The recovery would take time, but they would heal in the end.

A scaredy cat like Felix wouldn’t have known who did that to him.

Mia snorted. “Who says so? Technology is advanced these days. How could the culprit possibly not leave a trace? If the culprit is arrested, he’ll face heavy punishment for the assault.” The corner of Timothy’s lips showed a faint curve. “Indeed. The punishment is heavy.” “You know very well and yet you talk so much nonsense, huh?” Mia was growing irritated.

His mood suddenly brightened as he answered, “You don’t have to do that. Felix doesn’t have the evidence.” She scoffed. “How confident. People might even think you’re the culprit.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 379-As soon as Mia finished, Timothy admitted confidently, “You’re right. I am the culprit.” That threw her off.

Was she hearing things again?

He arched an eyebrow at her surprised face. “What’s with that surprised look? You didn’t know that it was me?” He sulked again.

She hesitantly said, “I thought it was my brother.” “Brother? Since when do you have a brother?” Mia took control of the conversation swiftly by asking. “Answer me, Timothy Barrett. Why did you beat Felix to a pulp?” Had she known the truth, she wouldn’t have come all the way to the hospital only to be disgusted by Felix and Janice.

Timothy scoffed. “Why not? Can’t I do that?” Mia was at a loss for words. Timothy was the reason she had endured Felix and Janice’s repulsive behavior the past few days.

She thought that Claude was the offender, but it turned out to be this bastard!

A pillow flew in Timothy’s direction. “Are you crazy? Couldn’t you have given me a head–up before doing something like that? I wouldn’t have gotten involved then!” She wouldn’t have cared about Felix, whether he went to the police dr not.

Why? Because even if the sky fell, Timothy would remain unscathed!

Furious, she demanded, “Leave! I don’t want to see you.” Timothy easily dodged the pillow as he overlooked her. “Is this your attitude after you learn that I was the culprit?” He genuinely believed that she had acted out of concern for him.

She raised an eyebrow. “My attitude changes according to how the other party acts, and this is what you get. It’s only fair this way, don’t you think?

“Three years ago, I married you when you were involved in a car accident. No one knew if you were going to survive it or not. But what did I gain in the end? Only a fool will make the same mistake twice.” “How would you know if it will be a mistake again without making another attempt?” Unable to follow him. Ma merely stared at him.

“You haven’t answered my question. Who’s your brother?” His expression appeared somewhat uneasy She brushed it of “Just my brother.” Mia didn’t want to divulge her family matters to Timothy, for reasons she couldn’t quite grasp. Let alone the fact that she had three brothers and three cousin brothers!

After all, she was planning to leave for Nord City to start a new life there.

The more information Timothy was privy to, the easier it would be for him to track her down.

She should be careful for the sake of her babies.

His eyes narrowed slightly. “What brother?” To his knowledge. Mia was an orphan.

“We have a lot of relatives in the village. They’re my cousin brothers.” Next, he eyed her belly and his tone turned stem. “Cut it out. I bet you mean the father of the baby.

right?

She forgot to breathe upon hearing that.

Timothy knew?

He knew about the babies?

She was all worried about the babies the moment she regained consciousness, but Timothy’s presence turned her into a nervous wreck, causing her to forget all about them.

In fact, wishful thoughts had gotten to her head, deceptively leading her to believe that he would never know.

Now, reality was telling Mia that wishful thoughts couldn’t do anything to save her.

Before this, scenes of Timothy finding out the truth had played on her mind many times and so she was mentally prepared for it.

+15 BONOS Calming herself down, she reassured herself that he simply found out about the pregnancy, not that he was the father.

As long as she didn’t admit that the babies were his, she would be able to protect them.

Or so she believed.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 380-From the start, Timothy had made it crystal clear that he didn’t want kids. If he found out about Mia’s pregnancy, he would insist on her getting an abortion.

Mia quickly made up her mind. “Yes! You thought right!” “Wow! Were you so eager to divorce me because you got knocked up by another guy? I knew something was off about your sudden change in attitude, bringing up divorce out of nowhere. So you’ve not only found someone new, but you’re also carrying his child!” Timothy’s expression grew unpleasant, and he glared at Mia.

In a matter of seconds, Mia was drenched in cold sweat, fearing Timothy would see through her lies.

Now that the baby was coming to term, Mia heard they could get a paternity test while she was still pregnant. She couldn’t risk it!

Mia clenched her hands tightly under the blanket. But she maintained a cool facade. “I only got pregnant after we signed the divorce papers. Legally, I haven’t done anything wrong.” Mia was relieved that Timothy always had a bad impression of her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to come up with an excuse for the child.

“But we haven’t finalized the divorce. You’re still my wife!” argued Timothy.

“But aren’t you engaged to Maya? What’s the difference? You’re a pot calling the kettle black!” Mia met his gaze squarely. “Timothy, we’ve been keeping up the act for Grandma Laura’s sake, and we’ve agreed not to meddle in each other’s personal lives. I haven’t broken our deal.” Right after Mia said that, she felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from Timothy. It was silent yet threatening.

But she couldn’t back down. If he sensed anything was amiss, the child would be at risk.

Timothy cleared his throat. “But our agreement didn’t include you getting pregnant!” “And does it include you being engaged to Maya?” Mia retorted. At that moment, she was filled with courage, like a lioness protecting her cub.

Timothy bent down to her eye level with a dark gaze. He hissed, “No man can tolerate being cheated on. Mia, I’ll give you a choice.” As he inched closer, Mia instinctively backed away. But her back was already against the headboard with nowhere to go.

+15 BONOS She widened her eyes as Timothy approached. At this proximity, she could see Timothy’s handsome features, how smooth his skin was, and even his pores.

Timothy’s skin was much smoother than hers.

They were so close they could feel each other’s breath.

Mia pursed her lips. “And what’s that?” “Abort the baby!” growled Timothy.

“No!” Mia’s refusal was instant and resolute.

At the same time, her heart sank. He wouldn’t keep the child, after all.

Timothy’s gaze hardened. “Do you think I’m giving you a choice? Since you don’t want to take the easy way out, fine. I’ll arrange for a doctor to perform the abortion.” “No!” Mia grabbed his arm and gave him a pleading look. “Please!” He grasped her chin firmly. “What makes you think begging would work? Until we’ve finalized the divorce, you’re still my wife. How dare you carry another man’s child? Do you think I run a charity?” Despair washed over Mia. She cried out, “Timothy Barrett, you have no right to take away my child!

“Well, it’s not my child.” Timothy huffed cruelly.

“Who says it’s not?” shrieked Mia.
