Chapter 360
Mia hung up the call, Inwardly Insulting Timothy again and again.
She didn’t expect Timothy to have a business trip on the same day, which served as the reason he
couldn’t wait for her.
Her hand caressed her belly, feeling the slight bump that carried two small lives in it.
Laura underwent the surgery a few days ago when Shelly was testing the water, trying to figure out if Mia was pregnant.
Although Mia managed to sell that off to Shelly, who knew if Shelly would do something foolish with it? No matter what, Mia wished Shelly could wise up.
Right then, Claude texted her, “Mia, I’m here!”
That message elicited a smile from her. Regardless of Shelly’s schemes, the other alternative to
get out of it was Mia going to Bern City and starting life anew.
“Coming,” she replied to him.
Claude glimpsed at his phone before grinning at Connor. “Mia said she’s coming. I have never picked up my sister from school before. Say, do you think she’d like my present?”
Connor’s eyes shifted to the present in the back seat, remaining silent.
He felt the urge to remind Claude that Mia was already a grown–up, not a kid.
Connor had tried to talk Claude out of it along their way there but it was all in vain. Feeling helpless, Connor got out of the car.
Out of sight, out of mind.
To his surprise, he noticed a familiar face–Felix!
Connor narrowed his eyes at the red roses in Felix’s hands. Could it be that it was for Mia?
Felix’s feelings for her were transparent to Connor as Felix kept helping Mia out.
If it hadn’t for Felix’s heroic act during Mia’s kidnap episode, Connor would’ve warned him to stay away from her.
Felix, who was pacing back and forth at the gates, sensed a piercing gaze. His head shot up only
to see Connor.
Felix’s eyes lit up. If he couldn’t win Mia’s heart, wouldn’t it be the same to earn favors from her
brothers?
As an afterthought, Felix approached Connor. “Hi, Mr. Lane. Are you here to pick up Mia?”
Connor hummed indifferently. “What about you? Are these roses for your girlfriend?”
Felix managed a bashful smile. “These are for Mia. I didn’t expect to run into her brother today. I
might as well come clean with you.
“Actually, I’ve liked her for a long time. I’d like to give her the best things in the world and look.
after her forever. I hope you would wish us the best.”
That made Connor uncomfortable. Everything in him was screaming to punch Felix.
Right then, Claude’s cold voice joined the conversation. “What right do you have to do that? Do you think you can look after her forever?”
was
A moment ago, he all excited about how to surprise Mia until he heard a man announcing his
will to look after her forever.
He himself had made many empty promises, but he never walked the talk. Not even once!
Claude, the playboy, understood a man’s nature very well.
Felix saw the handsome man and quickly explained, “You must be Mia’s brother too. Nice to meet
you. You don’t know me well, but I’m serious about her. I want to look after her forever.”
“What do you have to do that? Do you earn over a million dollars a year?”
