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.”
