Chapter 71
“Beats me. But I know she did buy a new house.”
Timothy glanced over at the furnishing pictures on his phone.
Tightening his lips, he asked, “Who told you?”
Even he was clueless about this.
Sharon let out a cough and continued. “That’s not the point. The house she bought was six million dollars! There’s no way she
could’ve bought that house with her salary.
“Or she might have bought it with the money she made out of stealing stuff from our house. She might even use the illegal
money she earned through us.”
Timothy instantly frowned as he retorted, “Mom, she won’t do that.”
“Tim, why have you been siding with her lately? You weren’t like this before.”
Setting his phone down on the table, Timothy stated impatiently. “Mom, I said I’ll handle this on my own. Stay
out of this.”
“I’m doing this for your sake as well, Tim. Ms. Lane was so initiative, and she even came over. Are you that
dense? You both are more on a similar level. Unless you’ve really fallen in love with Mia, why are you delaying
the divorce, then?”
Timothy rubbed his temples as he replied, “Mom, stop it. Grandma hasn’t been well lately. I’m thinking of
proceeding with the divorce after she gets her surgery done.”
Sharon was visibly upset at the mention of Laura.
“Alright. I’m just trying to remind you. Don’t be fooled by Mia when she’s pretending to back out. In fact, she’s
already moved on, and she even bought a marital house.”
Timothy remained silent.
After Sharon left, he finally took out his phone.
There was the latest text notification from Mia that read, “Mr. Barrett, which one do you prefer? Please let me know so I can
order it as soon as possible.”
Staring at his phone, it finally hit him that no wonder there was a dramatic change in her attitude during yesterday’s call
After quite some time, he finally replied, “You decide.”
As Timothy turned off his phone, he tugged his tie and wondered if he had been spending too much time on Mia.

At the furniture wholesale store, Mia almost dozed off when she finally received Timothy’s reply.
It was merely a two-word reply. Well, he was just as indifferent as always.
She finished her juice and glanced over at the staff beside her.
“I’ll order right now. Deliver the ready stock as soon as you can.”
“Ms. Bowen, do you need to include a crib? We usually give out free gifts since you bought a lot. I thought a marital home would
need a crib as well.”
A crib?
Mia strode over and realized there were a lot of cribs on display. She thought they looked tiny and adorable.
As her fingers swept past the crib, she was reminded of her baby that was about to be born. Her spirits were
lifted in an instant.
However, she didn’t need it right now.
She patted the crib before her as she stated, “I’ll get this one then.”
She would send all her best wishes to Timothy and Maya to have a baby soon.
Mia followed the truck to Timothy’s marital house. Without skipping a beat, she was done with the furnishing for the hall After all,
she painstakingly decorated the place for three years. She was already more than familiar
with his taste and habits.
Finally, she stood before the wall in the hall. She ordered the workers to set up a photo wall so a large
wedding photo could be hung there.
Holly went up to her and asked, “Mrs. Barrett, how about the bedroom?”
“Tidy it and let the workers change the mattress.”
“Mrs. Barrett. I’m not that familiar with the bedroom. I’m worried that I might misplace something in it. It’s better for you to go
have a look.”
Mia
glanced around the hall and finally decided to go upstairs to the master bedroom.
