Chapter 573
After finishing her dessert, Mia took a sip of water.
She couldn't help but notice Timothy staring at her, his silence adding to the
intensity of the moment.
His narrow, elongated eyes bore into her, his handsome features sharply defined
in the light.
Mia felt increasingly uneasy under his intense stare. She lowered her gaze and
curtly said, “It's getting
late, Mr. Barrett. Please leave.”
With that, she dismissed him without so much as a glance.
Given their divorced status, Mia felt no obligation to extend any courtesy toward
him.
Timothy eventually rose from the sofa, his figure illuminated by the light, casting a
long shadow in the
room.
In the already confined space, his towering stature seemed to make it even more
cramped, obscuring the
light around Mia.
His imposing figure loomed above her, and his expression was complex.
Mia's breath caught in her throat. She had never seen Timothy wear such an
expression before.
especially not directed at her.
Taking a deep breath, she walked toward the entrance and swung the door open
without a word, inviting
him to leave.
Casting a glance in her direction, Timothy proceeded to walk toward her.
Mia had initially planned to step aside and allow him to pass, but he positioned
himself squarely in her path. The narrow entrance barely allowed space for two
people.
She glanced up at him, somewhat puzzled by his demeanor.
Just as Mia was about to yield, Timothy finally spoke up, “Please, take your
exams seriously.”
“Huh?”
Mia hadn't anticipated such words from him after the prolonged silence. She
muttered in response, “I
don't need you to remind me. I'll work hard regardless.”
She watched as Timothy turned and walked away, closing the door behind him.

As Mia returned to the sofa, she felt a mixture of emotions upon noticing the
pastry in her pocket.
“Mia, has Mr. Barrett left?” Patricia asked as she peeked out from the door.
Mia nodded. “Yes, he’s gone.”
“What did he want? I was taken aback when I saw him at the door just now. He
wasn't causing trouble.
was he?”
“No, he stopped by to deliver some pastries that Grandma Laura had made.”
Mia retrieved the pastries from her pocket and handed one to Patricia. Despite
her complicated relationship with Timothy, Laura had always shown kindness to
her.
Before Mia found her family, Laura had been one of the kindest people to her,
aside from Patricia.

inquired.
“Yes, that's correct.”

“Mia, I remember you initially married into the Barrett family because you had
feelings for Mr. Barrett. You were quite headstrong; how could you just forget
about it?
“Back then, I supported your decision to divorce because I was worried you were
being mistreated by the Barretts. But now, who would dare to treat you badly?”
Mia couldn't help but feel exasperated. “Aunt Patricia, we're already divorced.”
“But Mrs. Barrett Senior still seems to have a soft spot for you, and your family’s
