Chapter 83
Mia was utterly puzzled. What did Timothy mean by that?
In a hushed tone, he continued, “Why? Am I right? So you can’t deny it, can’t you? And I thought you’re
always so good with your words.”
Mia attempted to break free from his grip. Yet, his strength was too overpowering for her to struggle her
way
out.
Well, she would just play along, then.
She could no longer care less.
Tugging on his tie, she snapped, “Mr. Barrett, I wasn’t two-timing! I’ve never asked you out.”
“Didn’t you text me yesterday? Did you forget about it?”
“Oh, that,” Mia replied as she glanced up at him. “That’s different.”
“How is that different? Go on, try and talk yourself out of this again. The rumors are circulating all over
the
internet. Do you think I’m blind?”
She tilted her head to the side, her fingers twirling around his tie as she said, “If that’s what you think,
there’s nothing I can do either.”
Timothy was dumbfounded. That sounded like what he always said back then.

Nonetheless, he glared at her and said, “Do you need me to remind you again that you’re still a married
woman? Are you that eager to two-time someone when you haven’t even got a divorce? Are you not
worried
that you’re going to end up in trouble?”
“Oh, thanks for your reminder. Well, two-timing might get me into trouble, but that won’t be the case if I
date
more than two men at once, right?”
Infuriated, Timothy snapped, “Mia Bowen, why did I not know you’re such a despicable woman?”
“Because we’re just not meant for each other. So, Mr. Barrett, are you free tomorrow? Just drop by at
the
courthouse before you go to work, will you?”
He froze and eventually loosened his grip on her.
“Are you that eager to proceed with the divorce so you could live happily ever with your new
boyfriend?”
When Mia heard him, she stood up straight and retorted, “I don’t care about your opinion. There’s no
need for me to explain to you.”
No matter how she explained herself, he wouldn’t believe her. Thus, she didn’t see the need to explain.
Timothy noticed the crib beside her. He suddenly recalled she was taking folic acid tablets as well.
His expression became grim as he stiffened his lips.

“Are you pregnant?”
Mia’s expression changed drastically. How did he know?
Her heart skipped a beat. It sent chills down her spine, and she was suddenly at a loss for words.
She remembered him mentioning that he didn’t want any children.
If he found out about her pregnancy, he would definitely stop her from giving birth. Moreover, Sharon
also mentioned that she preferred Maya to bear her grandchildren.
Timothy’s expression turned solemn when he noticed her reaction.
“Answer me!”
Swallowing hard, Mia was utterly clueless about how to answer him.
As he leaned closer to her, his hand was propped against the crib beside her as he pestered her. “You
were taking folic acid tablets, and you’re now checking out cribs. Did you think you’re doing a good job
at hiding your pregnancy?”
Mia froze on the spot. It turned out that he did find out about the folic acid bottle she lost at the marital
home.
She glanced at the cribs and blurted. “One of my clients needs a crib. I also gave you guys a crib last
time. This brand has been having promotions lately.”
Timothy’s gaze was fixated on her as he pondered on her words.
“Mia, although we agreed on a divorce, we haven’t proceeded with the procedures yet. Do you know
what the
consequences are if you dare to get pregnant?” @
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMia stared right back at him as she retorted, “Enlighten me, then. If I’m pregnant with your child, what
will you
do?”
He snapped, “Abort it!”
He didn’t have the heart to allow her to give birth to someone else’s child when they were still a couple.
Mia’s heart sank. She wasn’t surprised with his answer at all.
His principle was the same as back then. He wouldn’t let her give birth to his child because she simply
wasn’t
worthy. Only Maya, who was from a prestigious family, deserved to bear his children.
As Mia hid the hurt look in her eyes, she replied calmly, “Rest assured. It won’t happen.”
She vowed to never let him know about his child.
“It’d better be!” Timothy snapped before he turned around and took his leave.
With an impatient expression, he strode in front of the crowd. Others exchanged glances, speculating
about his relationship with Mia.
They didn’t see what happened since he dragged her into a corner.

They were extremely curious.
Heath was the only one who saw the look on Timothy’s face. He knew things were going to take a turn
for the worse.
Ever since Timothy mentioned a divorce, Mia changed completely. It was a piece of cake for her to piss
him off.
