Chapter 564
With that, Timothy handed over a business card with Heath's name on it.
Jeremy's face lit up with surprise as he took the card.
This was no ordinary gesture—It was an olive branch extended by none other
than the CEO of the prestigious Barrett Group.
The opportunity to secure investment from Timothy held the promise of a bright
future for Jeremy.
That day's lunch suddenly felt incredibly worthwhile.
Observing Jeremy's appeased expression, Mia couldn't bear to watch any longer.
She rose from her seat and exited the private room, making her way to the
restroom.
Contemplating the situation, Mia couldn't deny that having influence and authority
could be advantageous.
Upon her return to the private room, Mia noticed that only Timothy remained, with
Jeremy nowhere in sight.
She casually inquired. “Where's Jeremy?”
“He had to attend to something and left early.” Timothy responded, fixing his gaze
on her intently. “It's just as well he’s gone. have something important to talk to
you about.”
Drawing in a deep breath, Mia asked, “What's on your mind?”
Timothy began, “Yesterday, outside your neighborhood, you brought up how it's
always been you who's had feelings for me, that it was all one-sided, and that I
never reciprocated those feelings-*:
Mia's eyes narrowed at this. She awkwardly cut him off, saying, “Alright, please
don't keep bringing that
up”
Timothy's lips tightened. “That's not how I meant it.”
“Timothy, do you still think I haven't endured enough misery for your sake? I'll
admit, I once held feelings
for you, and maybe I was too presumptuous in marrying you, causing you
trouble.
“But now that we're divorced, why do you keep bringing up the past? Don't I
deserve some respect?”
Her eyes teared up slightly. “We're all human, with emotions. Can't you let go of
it, considering I once

loved you?"
With that, Mia left the private room awkwardly.
As she stepped out of the restaurant, Timothy hurried to catch up. “Mia, why are
you leaving so suddenly?
Hearing him, Mia picked up her pace.
Seeing her hastening away. Timothy's heart pounded with worry. He quickly
moved to her side and took hold of her wrist. “Mia, have you forgotten that you're
pregnant?”
Mia finally slowed down and responded in a calm tone, “I know. Let go of me.”
Nonetheless, Timothy remained silent. He held her hand and continued walking.
The alley was quite crowded at this hour, with many people coming and going,
making it feel somewhat
narrow.
Timothy strode forward with a confident and authoritative demeanor, prompting
those approaching to
instinctively make way, impressed by the commanding presence he exuded.
Mia walked behind him with her head down. She tried to pull her hand back, but
Timothy held it firmly,
refusing to release her.
His grasp was firm and reassuring as they moved forward together.
Looking down at their joined hands, Mia felt a mixture of emotions.
