Mia hesitated briefly, grappling with how to explain her delayed return. She couldn’t simply
mention her visit to the private hospital to see Laura.
Maintaining a composed demeanor, Mia replied, “The traffic was quite congested. I probably
should have opted for the subway instead of taking a taxi.”
“Taking a taxi is a good choice. At least, you get to sit and rest even if there’s traffic. The subway
can be crowded, and finding a seat is not guaranteed. What if it gets too cramped?”
Connor’s concern for Mia’s well–being was evident, especially considering he was the only one privy to
the fact that she was pregnant.
Understanding Connor’s worry, Mia acknowledged the need for extra caution during her
pregnancy.
They exchanged a meaningful glance, each comprehending the other’s sentiments.
After completing their meal, Mia couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment and happiness.
She genuinely cherished the opportunity to be with her family.
With a baby on the way, she envisioned their home becoming even more vibrant.
Upon resolving affairs here, Mia planned to return to Nord City to give birth and subsequently
settle down there.
After chatting for a while, Mia couldn’t suppress a yawn. She had become increasingly prone to
drowsiness lately.
Noticing Mia’s tiredness, Connor promptly stood up and suggested. “It’s getting late. Let’s all call
it a night.”
His primary concern was ensuring that his pregnant sister could rest undisturbed.

Once they left, the living room swiftly resumed its quiet ambiance.
Patricia gently held Mia’s hand and advised, “Mia, when the compensation money arrives, make
sure to save it.”
Mia protested, “No, this is your money. I can’t accept it. Besides, Uncle James needs funds for hist

“Your brothers covered Uncle James’s medical expenses for ten years, didn’t they? Take this money
and manage your finances wisely, you can use it to start a business or save it in a fixed
deposit.
“I’m afraid I might get confused dealing with such a sum. Even my maternal family is aware of the
compensation money now, and they’ve been calling, urging me to return for a reunion,” Patricial
explained.
Mia was well aware of Patricia’s maternal family’s character.
When James had a car accident and needed financial assistance, Patricia’s family didn’t contribute a
single penny. Instead, they had suggested selling the house for a divorce settlement.
In short, Patricia’s family wasn’t a supportive group of individuals.
“Alright, I’ll hold onto the money for you. If you ever need anything in the future, you can count on me.”
Mia assured.
Despite accepting the money on Patricia’s behalf, Mia had plans to utilize it for Patricia’s
retirement.
After washing up in the evening. Mia lay in bed, gently touching her lower abdomen. It seemed that her
belly had started to show a slight bump.
Just then, her phone rang–it was a call from Felix.
Recalling her evasive departure in the afternoon, Mia felt a pang of guilt as she answered thenovelbin
phone, “Hey, Felix, are you guys just getting off work now?”
“Yeah, we’ve been occupied all day and just finished eating dinner.
“With the wedding tomorrow, there are numerous details to verify, ensuring everything is in order to
avoid any last–minute time crunch,” Felix explained.
Upon hearing this, Mia felt an even deeper sense of remorse. “I’m sorry. I was supposed to work
overtime with you guys today.”
“No worries. You had family matters to attend to, and we completely understand.
“By the way, news has spread among our colleagues that the demolition compensation from your old
neighborhood is turning you into a wealthy woman.
“Don’t forget to treat everyone to a meal!” Felix teased.
Mia chuckled with a hint of helplessness. “Sure thing.”

“By the way, Mia, now that your family’s relocation matters are settled, make sure to drop by tomorrow
to inspect the venue for the engagement ceremony,” Felix added.
Why did he want Mia to come over?
Mia didn’t have to speculate about the mastermind behind this unexpected request. It was undoubtedly
the audacious Maya, shamelessly asking Mia to be present at the wedding venue.
Did Maya believe Mia had no involvement in the wedding preparations, giving her the audacity to
make such a request?
“Mia, don’t you want to come?” Felix inquired.
Upon hearing Felix’s voice, Mia hesitated briefly before responding. “Felix, I believe you’ve all done a
fantastic job with the arrangements. Tomorrow, I’ll just be on duty at the studio.”
