Chapter 493
Hearing that, Mia turned to look at the door. Timothy was there!
She froze, not expecting him to be here as well.
His eyes were deep and she couldn't read his emotions.
Slowly, he walked into the room with his coat draping his shoulder. Since he was
wearing his suit, it seemed like he had just come from work.
Laura spared him a glance. “Why aren't you answering? I asked you a question.”
Mia dropped her gaze as she didn’t have the nerve to look at his expression. A
weight hung in the air.
Still, wasn’t this what they had come to compromise in the end?
“Mia, come outside with me for a moment.”
Before she could react, he pulled her out of the room by the wrist.
She scurried because she couldn't keep up with his large strides. “Timothy, what
is it?”
Timothy stopped and turned. “Have you never thought that the truth would be too
much for her to take in?
What if she had fainted? She has yet to be discharged!”
“But didn’t we agree that I'll be the one to tell her the truth a few days ago? Why
are you making it seem
like I made a mistake?” She flung his hand away. “Timothy, do you think that lying
to her is the best way to go?”
He pursed his lips. “I didn’t know you'd tell her this soon without waiting until she
is discharged. You're
worried that we won't divorce and you can't leave the city, aren't you?”
Mia was so angry that she laughed. “Think however you want. I've come clean
with her.”
“How did you explain about the baby?” he interrogated.
She paused. “I told her that it was fake.”
He snorted. “Mia Bowen, don't you feel guilty lying to her about this?”
Words failed her. She couldn't explain about her pregnancy at the moment, so
she made Laura believe that the pregnancy was fake.
“Are you dumb?” His mockery resounded above her.
Her eyes glistened with tears as she was furious. The anger wasn't only directed
at Timothy; she was angry at herself too.
How could she be this weak? She simply couldn’t control her tears in front of him.
