Chapter 352
Gina huffed, “Mia, don’t overthink it. Felix is the problem, not you. I thought he was a nice guy, but
to think that he went on a blind date while pursuing you? Damn, he’s shameless. He’s gaslighting
you.”
“Gigi. I rejected him when he hinted at me with the flowers. He backed off at that time. He didn’t
bring it up anymore.
“His confession outside the library was completely out of my expectations. He even came to my neighborhood at night! He’s freaking me out.”
“Mia, don’t let the divorce get to you. You deserve someone better. Just ignore Felix.”
The conversation with Gina made Mia feel better. The call disconnected, and the thought of
tomorrow morning’s appointment made her frown.
She had a plan–she would get up very early in the morning and leave the house. When Claude
came to pick her up, she could say that she had already left.
This might do the trick.
The next day, by the time Mia woke up, it was a little late.
She didn’t hear the alarm.
Quickly, she got changed and left her room only to see Claude walking into the house alongside Patricia. They bought a lot of stuff.
“You’re up! Aunt Patricia and I went out for grocery shopping. We bought a lot of your favorites.”
Patricia carried the groceries to the kitchen. “Wash up. It’s time to have breakfast, Mia.”
Mia let out an awkward yet decent smile.
Claude came up to her and flicked her forehead. “You’re up so early today. Aunt Patricia said that you don’t have classes on Monday mornings. I was thinking of letting you sleep in before we go to the mall to buy a piano.”
She coughed. “I don’t have classes in the morning, but I want to go to the study hall for revision.”
“Oh, I can drop you at your college after breakfast.”
A helpless smile appeared on her face. It seemed like there was no way out of this after all.

After breakfast, she checked the time. “Claude, let’s go.”
“What’s the matter? Are you in a rush?”
“Kinda. Something came up.” Mia figured that she could go to college santly and then take a cab to the courthouse.
It should be fine to make Timothy wait for her a little.
The oblivious Claude didn’t suspect a thing as he drove her to college.
The situation put Mia on tenterhooks along the journey. She texted Timothy, T be a little late. Please wait for me.”
As soon as the message reached him, he called.
She didn’t have the guts to answer the call at all, so she rejected it and messaged 1 can’t pick up calls at the moment.”
On the other side, Timothy’s eyes narrowed at the message. “Who are you with?”
She left that message on seen.
Soon, the car stopped outside the campus.
“We’re here. Bye, Claude. Be careful on your way home,” she said in one breath and scurried away.
Claude watched her back like a loving brother. He then withdrew his gaze and drove the car away.
Mia, who was hiding in a shade of darkness, made sure he left before walking out of the campus again.
She was going to hail a cab, but the peak hours rendered it difficult.
On the verge of crying, she mustered the courage to call Timothy. He picked up the call in a heartbeat.
She preempted him, “Any rooms for negotiation, Mr. Barrett?”
