Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 372
After all, Janice was not an easy woman to deal with.
When Mia arrived home, her eyes were threatening to close due to exhaustion. She looked at Patricia. “I’d like to have stir–fried
chicken and sweet and sour pork tomorrow.”
“Alright. I’ll buy fresh meat tomorrow for that. You should Invite Claude over for a meal too.”
It was only then did Mia realized why there was no news from Claude that day. Maybe guilt was eating him up after he had
beaten Felix up.
She took a shower in her room and flopped on the bed. With how tired Mia was, nothing could stop her from falling asleep. She
desperately needed a break.
The next morning, the sound of her phone ringing woke her up.
She answered the call groggily. “Hello?”
“Rise and shine, Mia! We have grocery shopping to do so we can cook up a hearty meal for Felix. I’m old for this. I’m thinking of
leaving it to you. Take this chance to learn his likes and dislikes-”
Mia hung up the call right away and checked the time–it was only 5:00 am!
Did Janice hit her up this morning for grocery shopping just so she could cook for Felix? How
ridiculous!

She put her phone on silent mode, signing off from being their maid. Felix’s matter didn’t bother
her anymore.
With Jason there to help, Claude wouldn’t be in trouble anyway.
Mia laid back on her bed and slept in until she woke up naturally. Yawning, she finally felt alive
after a good sleep.
She checked her phone only to realize that there were a few missed calls from Janice. Obviously,
Janice was persistent.
However, all Mia wished for was to take a break. After all, she was a pregnant woman. She didn’t
have the energy to be at someone’s beck and call.
The moment she waltzed out of her room, the nice smell from the kitchen wafted her nose. It was
mouth–watering.
“Aunt Patricia, you are the best cook ever!”
“Where’s Claude? Invite him over,” suggested Patricia.
Mia reached out to Claude. The line got through very quickly this time, but it was a woman speaking. “Hello?”
Dumbfounded, Mia realized that the voice sounded different from before. Did Claude get into a new relationship?

Recalling her past mistake, Mia said, “Sorry, I got the wrong number.” The call was disconnected just like that.
Considering that Claude had a female companion at the moment, they must’ve been to the hotel. last night. Therefore, Mia
reckoned that it was better she let him be.
Mia made up an excuse, informing Patricia that he was busy with work. Patricia believed it and Mia had the delicious stir–fried
chicken and sweet and sour pork all for herself.
As much as her heart was full of contentment, her belly was round. As she thought, nothing beat food when it came to enjoying
life!
“Mia, your appetite is growing these days. You look rounder than before. Women should always keep fit or it’ll be difficult for them
to get a partner.
“Look at your belly. People who don’t know you might take you as a pregnant woman!”
Mia’s expression went stiff for a moment before she broke into a smile. “Well, I’m pregnant with
stir–fried chicken, sweet and sour pork and fish soup.”
Patricia guffawed at that.
Mia took a break after the meal. Suddenly, her phone rang, and this time, it was Felix.
Taking a glimpse at her phone, she went to the balcony to answer the call. “Hello, Felix.”
“Mia, don’t mind my mother. She’s always like this. She’s always thinking about what’s best for
me.”
“I understand, but could you ask her to stop calling me in the future? I won’t ever be her daughter-
in–law in, so she doesn’t have to teach me how to be a good wife.” Her tone was monotonous.
“What do you mean by that? Are you not going to take care of me at the hospital anymore, Mia?”
