Chapter 88
Mia turned to leave, but Timothy kept her down and said while half-squinting at her, “I’m not done with you yet.
Just as Mia was about to blow up, Heath approached with a forced smile and said, “Mr. Barrett, there’s a phone call for you. The phone has been ringing for a while.”
Timothy glared at Heath coldly. Couldn’t Heath see that he was in the middle of something?
“Who is it?” Timothy asked.
“It’s Ms. Lane.”
Upon hearing Heath’s words, Mia calmed down and felt Timothy’s grip on her loosening. Seizing the opportunity, she quickly got out of his arms. Then, she adjusted her dress and said, “I’ll take my leave now so as not to disturb your date then.”
Mia straightened her back and walked away from the café. She smiled with self-pity and thought, “I must think clearly. After all, I do not belong in the same world as Timothy.”
Just a small portion of Timothy’s fortune could let an ordinary person live comfortably for a lifetime. However, she didn’t want a cent of his wealth.
This was because Mia already had the most precious gift of all-Timothy’s baby.
Timothy was unhappy with Heath. He didn’t answer the phone call but was glaring at Heath viciously. “Who told you to come over?” he asked.
“Mr. Barrett, didn’t you say I should report urgent matters to you immediately?”
“Is this phone call an urgent matter?”
Timothy pulled at his tie. He realized he had been doing that a lot lately. But when he tried to loosen it, he found that the tie just wouldn’t come off.
He lowered his head to see that Mia had tied another knot in his tie.
He couldn’t untie it, no matter how hard he struggled. In the end, he gave up untying it. He would never let Mia go if she pulled this trick on him again.
Timothy looked at the property division agreement he had prepared for Mia. He could still feel the way
waist felt in his hands, no matter how hard he tried to forget about it.

Heath spoke hesitantly, “Mr. Barrett, Ms. Lane messaged you because she wanted to discuss Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery matters.”
Timothy snapped back to reality. He took the phone and answered the call.
“Timothy, I hope I’m not disturbing you,” Maya said.

“No, you’re not disturbing me at all. When will your brother agree to carry out my grandmother’s surgery?” Timothy asked.
Maya paused when she heard that question. Her brother hadn’t agreed to carry out the surgery, but she couldn’t say that to Timothy. If not, she would lose her excuse to be around him.
Maya calmly replied, “My brother doesn’t seem as reluctant to carry out the surgery as before. You know, I wanted to marry you when you were still unconscious in the hospital three years ago. However, I couldn’t
because my brothers trapped me at home since they didn’t like you.
“I’ll try to persuade him again. I’m sure my brother would agree to my request. We can send your grandmother for a checkup first to prepare for the surgery.”
Timothy remained calm and said, “That’s great. I’ll do as you say.”
Maya was somewhat pleased with his response. “Let’s have dinner tonight and discuss it in detail.”
“Sure.”
Only Maya’s brother, Connor, had the capability to carry out the surgery that Timothy’s grandmother needed, as he was one of the world’s top surgeons.
Timothy had to ensure that his grandmother’s surgery would proceed smoothly at all costs.
Back at home, Mia still couldn’t calm down from her encounter with Timothy in the café. She touched her face and felt a strange feeling in her gut. She thought that it was due to hormonal changes because of her
pregnancy.
That night, she had a dream about a man. The man in her dream had the exact same build as Timothy.
When Mia woke up, her face was flushed, and she went to the bathroom to freshen up.
When Mia arrived at the office, she took out her phone to check the news and saw the trending post in the entertainment section that said, “Socialite Maya had a sweet dinner date with a mysterious boyfriend. They returned to their home together afterward.”
She thought about the phone call Timothy received before she left him yesterday. She was drawn to the trending post, and when she clicked on it, there was a photo waiting for her.
