Within the confines of the car, the temperature surged noticeably.
Mia tightly clutched Timothy’s shirt, but her grasp seemed feeble, caught in a struggle between
resistance and surrender.

His eyes, now tinged with red veins, locked intensely onto hers.
Within the car, a profound silence took hold.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, Timothy shattered the silence with a piercing question. “Did you bite
me?”
Mia locked eyes with him defiantly, her lips pursed. “So what if I did? Who gave you the right to kiss me
out of the blue? That’s harassment! You’re acting like a rogue!”
A soft chuckle escaped Timothy’s lips. “So, now you understand what it feels like to be harassed? I
merely offered you a taste of your own medicine. Are you struggling to handle it?” he quipped.
His retort momentarily silenced Mia, but she wasn’t ready to concede.

eyes.

me now?
With one hand resting on the car door, Timothy had Mia cornered. “You did bite me, though. Do you

Mia was furious. Wasn’t Timothy being completely unreasonable?
Finally reaching her limit, Mia shot him an exasperated look.
“Mr. Barrett, that’s enough. I’m not here to provide additional opportunities for you to assert yourself.

would stop at nothing for money.

no ex that can’t be forgotten.”
In response, Timothy chuckled with exasperation. “Remember, we’re still in the waiting period for our
divorce. It’s not finalized yet.”
Timothy’s eyes lingered on Mia’s seemingly innocent face, noting the subtle swelling of her lips. His
gaze deepened as he observed her lips.
Unexpectedly, the sensation of their kiss wasn’t as unpleasant as he had anticipated. Perhaps he didn’t
dislike it as much as he had initially thought.
“Is the bar for dating set so high now? Does it have to be with someone unattached? What’s wrong with
someone going through a divorce?” Mia retorted.
“Mia, I never realized how sharp–witted you are. It’s a shame you’re not on a variety show.”
“Really? I couldn’t agree more. With my exceptional qualities, I see the period after our divorce as an
opportunity for a fresh start.
“Mr. Barrett, your enlightening perspective is truly appreciated,” Mia quipped.
Ever since broaching the topic of divorce with Mia, Timothy’s daily frustration levels had soared.
