Upon hearing Connor’s voice, Mia suddenly recalled that Connot was waiting for her.
Swiftly, she composed herself, shifting her gaze to meet Connor’s as he approached.
‘Connor,” she greeted.
“Mia, what’s the matter? Are those tears in your eyes? Did someone upset you?” Connor inquired with concern.
Brushing off his worries, Mia replied, “It’s nothing serious. I visited Grandma Laura earlier, and seeing her condition left me
feeling a bit emotional.”
Mia quickly redirected the conversation, adding. “By the way, Connor, I was looking for you earlier. You weren’t downstairs.”
“Speaking of that.” Connor began, “As soon as I understood what was happening. I excused myself. I got caught up in a phone
call with a friend, and it delayed me.”
A fleeting hint of guilt flickered in Connor’s eyes.
Unbeknownst to Mia, Connor had just crossed paths with Maya downstairs.
Fortunately, Mia hadn’t descended at that moment. Otherwise, he’d be in deep trouble.
Ultimately, the six brothers had struck a deal: whoever revealed their true identity before Mia would be required to perform a
dance naked!

Despite his lack of integrity, Connor was determined to avoid such a humiliating fate!
Mia nodded, her expression tinged with self–deprecation.
“Connor, I appreciate your assistance this time, but there’s something I need to share with you. Perhaps your friend won’t need
to intervene after all, I sincerely apologize.” She expressed.
As Connor pondered the recent encounter with Maya, he couldn’t shake the suspicion that Maya might have disclosed
something, considering the coincidence of Mia running into both Maya and Timothy downstairs.
With a soft sigh, Connor expressed. “It’s fine, as long as Grandma Laura’s surgery goes well.”
“Indeed, that’s my sole concern. As for everything else, it doesn’t matter to me.
“I just regret dragging your friend into this, especially now that he won’t be performing the surgery. I’m afraid he might be upset.”
“Don’t worry. My friend won’t be bothered.”
Connor offered her a reassuring look. “Let’s go. It’s time to head back,” he uttered.
Understanding that Mia’s primary concern was for Laura’s surgery to go smoothly, Connor was determined to reassure her and
alleviate any lingering concerns.
Upon returning home, Mia pushed aside any concerns regarding Laura’s surgery.
With Maya’s brother set to perform the operation, there seemed to be little to fret about.
