In the corridor, the two men crossed paths—one displaying maturity and
aloofness, the other exuding a
cool and distant demeanor.
Despite the tension, the atmosphere remained remarkably tranquil.
As they passed each other, Timothy couldn't resist commenting. “You're not the
right match for her.”
Nicholas responded with a slight smile, “As her ex-husband, you're interfering
too much.”
“You stay right there!” Timothy's cold gaze lingered as he turned back. “Take this
as a warning. Your
family might not readily accept the babies she’s carrying. Given Mia's stubborn
nature, she’s likely going
to keep them.”
“Actually, my family would be thrilled to welcome Mia's babies. Considering my
infertility, having children
naturally was never an option for me.
“Marrying Mia would be like winning the lottery—gaining both a wife and children
at once. And on top of
that, we're expecting twins. My mother would be ecstatic, don't you think?”
With that, Nicholas casually walked away toward the restroom, leaving Timothy
behind.
The corridor’s dim lighting shadowed his face, lending an air of gloominess to his
expression. In a fit of
frustration. Timothy ended up punching the wall, unable to calm down.
Upon hearing about Mia's supposed fiancé, he nearly lost his composure.
Meanwhile, in the private room, Mia looked at Connor with a serious expression.
“Connor, what do you
mean Dr. Mendes is my fiancé? You're intentionally trying to mess with Timothy,
aren't you?”
She had noticed Timothy nearby, and it was likely that Connor had as well.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have
intentionally uttered such provocative words.
Putting down his utensils, Connor regarded Mia with a meaningful gaze. “Mia,
you endured three years of hardship in the Barrett family. What's wrong with me
helping you reclaim your dignity?”
“I've broken things off with him; there's no need for all this drama. I want to part
amicably,” Mia stated firmly.
“You're too naive, Mia,” Connor remarked. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes
Despite Mia's desire for a peaceful separation, Timothy's actions suggested
otherwise. It was clear that
he was e
experiencing some regret and contemplating a return to their previous
relationship.
Soon after. Nicholas returned, and the trio exited the private room together.
Mia instinctively glanced at the adjacent room; its slightly open door revealed an
empty space.
It appeared that Timothy and the others had finished their meal and left early.
Mia silently withdrew her gaze and exited the restaurant with Connor and
Nicholas.

In the days that followed, Mia focused on her studies while on campus, diligently
preparing for her resit
exams.
Her life gradually resumed a semblance of normalcy.
As the eve of her exams approached, Mia couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
In the family group chat, her brothers offered words of encouragement, while
Patricia resorted to
superstitions by sending her a lucky charm.
Mia couldn't help but find it amusing. It felt like facing final exams back in
elementary school all
again.
Initially, she had been only slightly nervous, but now it was escalating to genuine
anxiety.

As she lay down early to rest, her phone chimed with a message. Glancing at it,
the text read, “Are you
asleep?”
Mia's hand hesitated over the screen. Why would Timothy message her at this
hour?
She paused for a moment, considering whether not replying might give the
impression that she was
overly affected.
However, she reminded herself that she had moved on; there was no reason to
feel embarrassed.
In response, she simply replied with a “?"
“Come downstairs,” Timothy ordered, his text was commanding.
Mia promptly set aside her phone, drew back the curtains, and gazed toward the
entrance of the
residential complex.

looking somewhat familiar.

Mia swiftly replied, “You should head back; I want to sleep!”
