Mia did not expect to bump into Timothy here. Sometimes, fate wasn’t exactly kind to her.
Naturally, Felix saw him as well. His eyes lit up once he realized Timothy was engaged to Maya, the
daughter of the Lane family.
Tension hung in the air as they met in front of the restaurant.
Mia quickly averted her gaze.
“Mrs. Quilter, let’s head to our private room.”
However, Felix stepped forward and approached Timothy.
“Mr. Barrett, what a coincidence! Are you dining at this restaurant as well?”
Mia’s heart skipped a beat when she saw him greeting Timothy. When did he become friendly
with him?
She glanced up at Timothy, who still looked as charming as ever. Meeting her eyes, he gave her a
nonchalant nod and remained silent.
Here Felix was, racking his brain trying to get himself acquainted with Timothy. After all, he was a
Barrett, a member of the most prestigious family in their city. If Felix happened to benefit from any
resources Timothy gave him, it would only be a matter of time before his career flourishes.
Felix did seem to like a fool when he stood beside Timothy, who contrasted him greatly with his
sophistication.
Mia was speechless. This situation was beyond her comprehension, and she was desperate to bury
herself to get away from the embarrassment.
The last thing she expected was Janice joining their conversation as well. She went toward
Timothy, asking Felix, “Felix, is this your friend? Why don’t we have a meal together since you
bumped into each other?”
Mia’s expression changed slightly at Janice’s invitation. She figured it’d be impossible for Timothy to
join them for a meal, given how much of a clean freak he was. Moreover, he preferred

Perhaps Felix had also realized that Janice was being quite intrusive. He interrupted her in a haste,
“Mom, Mr. Barrett must be very busy. He won’t have time to eat with us.”
He said exactly what Mia thought. Nonetheless, she had a bad feeling when she met Timothy’s

She saw him saying, “Sure.”
Mia was flabbergasted. Struggling to grasp the situation, it finally dawned on her that Timothy had
accepted Janice’s invitation.
What w
was wrong with him? Or has the end of the world loomed nearer?
Felix was equally taken aback. The last thing he’d expect was Timothy agreeing to dine with them.
Feeling absolutely irrational, Mia pondered on the possibility of leaving their company right now.
Janice was waving at her.
“Mia, what are you doing at the entrance? Hurry up and join us!”
Mia froze. She really didn’t want to. Janice came over, linking arms with her as she coaxed, “Mia, don’t
be shy. We’re all good, aren’t we? It’s fine, really. He’s Felix’s friend, and we’re just having a meal
together because we bumped into each other. It’ll be alright.”
As a result, Janice dragged Mia along. She was awash in dread.
Felix tried to lift her spirits, exclaiming, “Yeah, Mia, don’t you know Mr. Barrett as well? You don’t
need to feel shy.”
Janice glanced over at her quickly, asking, “Mia, you knew Mr. Barrett? How is he related to you?”novelbin
This was a tough question for Mia. She questioned herself again, contemplating whether she should
say they were a couple who were about to be divorced.
She glanced up at him, only to hear him reply. “We have an unusual relationship.”
Her breath hitched. She took over the conversation hastily as she continued, “Right, it is quite
unusual. In fact, we’re relatives.”
Janice’s eyes gleamed at her response as she chimed in, “Oh, he’s your relative! So he’s your…?”
