Chapter 537
Upon hearing Laura's voice, Mia's expression instantly paled.
Had Laura overheard their conversation just now?
She felt momentarily flustered. The last person she wanted to hurt was Laura.
As Timothy and Mia turned, they noticed Laura waiting.
Mia’s expression became somewhat uneasy as she greeted her. “Hello,
Grandma.”
“Why are you both lingering here? Let's go and eat. I noticed you hadn't returned
for a while, and I started
to wonder if you'd gotten stuck in the bathroom, so I came to check.”
Hearing this, Mia let out a sigh of relief. “Grandma Laura, we just had a short
conversation and lost track.
of time a bit.”
Linking her arms with Laura's, the two of them made their way toward the dining
room.
Timothy observed Mia’s departing figure, his gaze intensifying.
Throughout the meal, Mia deliberately ignored Timothy, who was seated across
from her.
Turning to Laura, she remarked, “Grandma, you should rest now. I'll leave first. I'll
come visit you again
soon.”
“Alright, be sure to spend more time with me before you depart for Nord City.”
Laura responded.
Mia's eyes brimmed with tears as she nodded earnestly.
Upon exiting the Barrett residence, she brushed away her tears. At that moment,
a tissue was offered to her, and she recognized Timothy's refined and slender
fingers.
With a fleeting look, she accepted the tissue and blew her nose forcefully.
Observing her somewhat brusque actions, Timothy furrowed his brow and
inquired, “What's the name of
that bar?”
“What?” Mia glanced at him, momentarily puzzled, before grasping the meaning
behind his question.
She swiftly replied, “Why do you want to know?”
“I'll help you find that guy,” Timothy responded.

“No, thank you. I've already decided to raise the twins on my own.” Mia replied,
her demeanor resolute. It appeared she had no intention of searching for the
twins* biological father.
Witnessing her determination, Timothy tell a twinge in his heart. “Are you really
okay with the twins never knowing who then father is?” he inquired.
Mia turned away, a touch of bitterness evident in her eyes.
“In the end, that man remains oblivious to the bables® existence. He certainly
wouldn't want them, and might even pressure me into terminating the pregnancy.
“Knowing this inevitable outcome, how could I bring myself to tell him?”
Mia had no idea what Timothy would do next after leveraging her twins to coerce
her into staying in Bern City. She certainty wouldn't risk jeopardizing her bables!
The two stood in a standoff at the entrance of the residence, nelther budging.
Nonetheless, Timothy could detect an underlying tone in Mia's words.
It felt as though she were subtly mocking his initial reluctance to have children
and even pressuring her
to consider terminating the pregnancy.
However, that was a reality he couldn't deny.

“It's alright. I'll walk on my own,” Mia replied resolutely.
“It's not easy to find a cab around here, you know.” Timothy insisted.
Mia nodded. “I'm aware. My brother will come to pick me up.”
As she finished speaking, a sleek black luxury car pulled up next to them.

visiting the campus like you did today. It can be disruptive to other students.”
After saying that, Mia continued walking toward Claude without looking back.
However, she sensed Timothy's palpable gaze trailing her from behind.
As Mia settled into Claude's car, she couldn't help but notice its luxurious
appearance.
