Mia entered Ginger’s room, only to find that she was faking being asleep. She could tell at first glance. Clearly, Ginger wasn’t asleep-she was calling someone! Who was Ginger talking to at this hour of the night?
Mia would’ve thought she was talking to Sage, since they used to do that frequently. Though most of the time, Ginger was the one who badgered Sage to talk. But Sage had already returned. Who was she talking to then?
Mia was worried that Ginger might be deceived. There were all sorts of people on the internet nowadays, after all.
She bent down to take the Apple Watch from Ginger’s grip, but it wouldn’t budge. Ginger’s grip was unwavering.
Staring at Ginger who was pretending to be asleep, Mia purposely remarked, “A kid who is asleep won’t be able to grab anything. Unless that kid isn’t asleep.”
She sensed Ginger’s grip loosen immediately, and she successfully took the Apple Watch with her. She glanced at Ginger and left her room promptly.
Returning to her own room, Mia went straight to Ginger’s WhatsApp and clicked on her chat. It was flooded with voice messages. She checked the time and clicked on the first message tonight. “My baby, why aren’t you replying to my messages? Where did you go?”
Mia was outraged. If it wasn’t for the familiar voice, she would’ve thought someone was harassing Ginger.
That bastard Timothy!novelbin
She called him right away, and her call was answered swiftly.
“Ginger, you didn’t get caught, did you?”
“Timothy, you’re having so much fun playing spy, huh?”
How Mia wished she could slap him across his face now!
Timothy cleared his throat. “I’m just chatting with my daughter. Why are you so worked up?”
“Quit the act. You were the one who gave Sage that telescope, right?”
At this point, Mia was certain that it was Timothy. She wasn’t sure before, because how could he possibly know when Sage was discharged? But now she knew who was the one leaking information to him. śNovelDrama.Org
It turned out she had a little traitor beside her.
Timothy’s voice came from the other end of the line. “I did. Does he like it?”
“He doesn’t! What’s so special about the one you bought? My brothers each bought him a telescope, and they’re all from top-notch brands. Why would he even care about the one you gave?”
Still upset, Mia continued, “Do you think you can bribe a child with expensive stuff? It’s not like they have a shallow mindset, and we’re well off as well. We can easily afford
the ones you buy.”
“I just wanted to make it up to Sage. I merely bought a gift for him to celebrate his discharge from the research institute. That’s all,” Timothy said solemnly.
“But you know he doesn’t like you. So just why are you doing this?”
Sensing the grievance in his tone, Mia finally recomposed herself after lashing out at him.
She wasn’t against Timothy getting in touch with their kids. He was their father, after all. But she hated how he secretly contacted them.
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have done this behind your back,” he muttered.
Noting his sincere apology, Mia couldn’t bring herself to be mad at him anymore.
She began, “In the future, don’t call Ginger so late. Do you know kids can’t stay up late?”
“I’m usually aware of the time and I would coax her to sleep. Today is just an exception.”
