“Sorry for making you worried, Jason.”
“Don’t be silly. It’s fine as long as you’re not hurt. Although I do hate that Timothy guy, it’s fortunate that he was by your side.
“Mia, you don’t have to take everything upon yourself anymore. You have us, your family.”
A smile played along Mia’s lips. “I know, but what’s happening recently is a special case. I’d like to finish my credit hours to
graduate from college. I’m working hard so that I can live in Nord City with you guys.”
Jason wasn’t foreign to her decision as Dominic was busy lately because of this.
Jason glanced at her. “Mia, when are you going to tell Dominic and others about your relationship with Timothy?”
“After we go to Nord City. I fear Dominic might confront Timothy for me. I’m going to leave anyway, so there’s no need to cause
another unnecessary trouble. I hope Dominic won’t be mad at me for lying.”
“He won’t. When the day comes, I have something to tell you too.”
After a discussion, the Lane brothers decided to reveal the truth to Mia on the day she returned to Nord City.
That Mia was the true Ms. Lane, not Maya.
“Okay.” Mia merely nodded without asking much. She believed her brothers wouldn’t do anything that would hurt her.
Nothing at home was out of the ordinary bar one–the concerned expression on Claude’s face when he came to visit.
When Patricia went to the kitchen, he asked in an undertone. “Mia, are you alright? No one bullied you. right?”
“No. I fainted in the cafeteria because of low blood sugar. He drove me to the hospital.”
He snorted. “That’s his duty.”
Something was off about Claude and Mia sensed it. She pulled his arm. “Claude, I didn’t keep you in the dark on purpose.”
“I’m not blaming you, just angry. That bastard doesn’t deserve you! And yet, how dare he ask for a divorce instead of taking care
of you? I can never stomach this, ever!”
Jason chimed in. “I stood up for her about this.”

The discussion on strategizing a way to confront Timothy between Jason and Claude worried Mia.
Quietly, she headed back to her room to reach out to Connor. Because the only person who knew the entirety of the situation
was him.
Claude and Jason knew of her divorce with Timothy, but not her pregnancy.
Unfortunately, no one picked up the call. Perhaps, Connor was in an operation.
She texted him what happened today so that he could dissuade Claude and Jason.
The next day, she read a headline after waking up.
“Renowned Singer Aubrey March with New Beau! Secret Restaurant Rendezvous Revealed.”
The mention of the renowned singer pushed the pause button on Mia.
Because the last person who was involved in a scandal with Aubrey was Timothy.
Now that she was spotted with a new boyfriend, was Timothy dumped?
Mia clicked the headline only to see a picture of a couple’s back. One of them appeared familiar to her
for some reason.
