Mia recognized the man–he must be the director of Music School. Struggling to come up with a response, she pressed her lips
together.
Yet, Timothy replied swiftly, “Nothing much. She’s my wife, and I thank you all in advance for taking care of her in school.”
Mia was dumbfounded. What the heck did he just say?
Feeling utterly bewildered, she chanced a glance at him. She clearly remembered him warning her not to expose their
relationship in public before. But he just did earlier!
Was he out of his mind?
Everyone in the private room was stunned except for Kennedy and Claude. A bright smile spread across Kennedy’s face while
Claude glowered at Timothy.
The director immediately lifted his glass at Mia, saying, “My apologies, Mrs. Barrett. I apologize for not recognizing you due to my
ignorance. Please forgive me. Rest assured, I’ll keep my lips sealed about this.
The others chimed in as well, declaring that they wouldn’t breathe a word of her identity.
Mia flashed a courteous, yet awkward smile at them. She simply didn’t believe them. Gossip circulated quickly in schools, after
all.
She had been keeping a low profile because she yearned to complete her credit hours before leaving Bern City. Yet, Timothy just
ruined her plans. How could she possibly stay under the radar once her identity was exposed?
Did he do it on purpose? However, she couldn’t fathom how he could benefit from purposely exposing her identity.
She shot a scathing glare at him, but he cast a graceful glance at her as he comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’ll back you up. No
one’s gonna bully you.”
Mia was speechless. This wasn’t even the point!
Looking at how eager Timothy was to serve her drinks as he put on an impeccable act of being
starstruck lovers, she wondered whether he had been possessed.
Just then, someone from her right extended a hand to stop Timothy.
Claude snatched her glass away and scowled at Timothy. “I’m sorry, but Mia doesn’t drink juice. It’s not good for her health.
Aren’t you aware of that?”
Timothy was momentarily stunned. He set down the bottle promptly and replied, “Sorry darling, but I

don’t remember you being allergic to juice.”
Glancing at the mango juice before her, Mla flashed a faint smile. “I didn’t in the past, but I am allergic to it now.” She was more
wary of her diet since she became pregnant.
Timothy didn’t get mad after he was rebuked. He gestured at the server to come. “Darling, order anything you want.”
Claude said nonchalantly to the server, “Mia prefers something light. For example, this dish...”
He ordered a lot of dishes in the end. He really wasn’t holding back.
Being stuck in between the two men rendered Mla into exasperation. Her smile waned when she saw the overwhelming amount
of dishes before her.
She sensed the underlying rage in Timothy’s tone as he spoke Iclly, “Mr. Lane, it seems like you’re desperately trying to please
my wife. I know she’s amazing, but she’s already married. You don’t stand a chance.”
Mia’s cheeks grew hot. As expected, he misunderstood her relationship with Claude.
Everyone in the private room fixed their gaze on him the moment they heard Timothy. Their eyes glimmered with intense
curiosity.
So, Claude was trying to steal Timothy’s girl.
Mia stirred in her seat. Nonetheless, Claude was unfazed. He picked something for her instead. “Mia, try this. It’s nice.
“Mla, this is quite good as well.”
As food began to pile up on her empty plate, she finally started to devour them because her babies were famished.
