Timothy gazed into Mia’s innocent eyes, feeling as though he were the antagonist in this scene.
In a fleeting moment, an impulsive urge welled up within him.
With his eyes fixed on the comer of her lips, Timothy leaned forward, choosing to silence Mia with a
kiss in the hope of putting an end to her protests.
Mia found herself momentarily caught off guard.
What was he doing?
Attempting to resist Timothy’s advances, Mia tried to push him away.
However, Timothy remained unyielding, making it impossible for her to break free.
Mia’s eyes widened as she stared at Timothy.
His narrow eyes, reminiscent of the sea, appeared as if they could entirely engulf her.
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.
Finally, she bit his lip, causing Timothy to release a muffled groan and pause momentarily.
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.
Stubbornly, she countered. “But I just touched you briefly, and y–you kissed me! That’s different!”
“From a legal standpoint, both actions carry the same criminal implications. There’s no distinction.”
Timothy’s deep voice resonated, with his eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of emotion flickered in his
eyes.
Feeling uneasy in this position, Mia shifted her body and, blushing, requested, “So, could you let go of
me now?
With one hand resting on the car door, Timothy had Mia cornered. “You did bite me, though. Do you
have any suggestions on how we can settle that score?”

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.
Let’s consider things settled after what transpired,” she retorted.
Clutching her delicate wrist. Timothy sneered, “What’s this? You’re hesitant with me but so open with
other men?”
Timothy’s words hit Mia like a painful blow, causing her to tremble and a pang of hurt to resonate in her
heart.
In Timothy’s eyes, Mia was consistently seen as a gold digger–an individual who, in his perception,
would stop at nothing for money.
Resigned to the persistent label, Mia decided to embrace it more fully.
Lowering her gaze, Mia quipped with a smirk, “Certainly, as long as the new love measures up, there’s
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.
