Chapter 323
Mia was puzzled by Timothy’s words. She merely wanted to maintain a comfortable distance
from him.
What was he implying by asking whom she was apprehensive about encountering? It was not as
if she had engaged in any dubious behavior.
She casually responded, “Exactly, I just didn’t want to be seen and misinterpreted by others.”
Besides, both Sharon and Maya were present at the hospital. Shouldn’t Timothy be wary of
potential misunderstandings with Maya?
Contemplating this, Mia suddenly questioned, “Oh, by the way, why did you break off your engagement
with Maya?”novelbin
She had been eager to inquire about this matter for quite some time, but the suitable moment
never seemed to present itself.
With Laura’s surgery now underway, marking a countdown in Timothy and Mia’s divorce, Mia
unexpectedly found herself growing a bit curious.
Timothy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What do you think?”
Was Mia trying to fish for information she already knew?
It was evident that Mia had persuaded Connor to perform Laura’s surgery, yet she chose not to
disclose any details.
Instead, she allowed Maya to manipulate the situation, using it as a pretext to coerce Timothy
into a fake engagement.
If Connor hadn’t divulged the truth to Timothy on the day of the engagement, Timothy would have
remained unaware.
What was Mia’s underlying motive?
Mia’s eyes sparkled with a sudden realization. “Did you end your engagement with Maya because
you saw through her deceitful facade?”
What was Mia trying to imply?
Timothy hesitated before speaking, “Mia, what on earth is going on inside your head?”
“Well, it’s always you who seems to occupy my thoughts, isn’t it?” Mia replied almost instinctively,
1/3.

Instantly, she clammed up, choosing not to say anything further.
Upon hearing her response. Timothy’s expression turned somewhat awkward. “Mia, it’s evident now
why you have so many admirers. They must have all been charmed by your sweet talk, haven’t they?”
Why hadn’t Timothy realized earlier how adept Mia was at flirting?
Mia’s face flushed with embarrassment, yet she wasn’t willing to be cornered by Timothy like this.
Boldly, she shot back, “Don’t talk nonsense. Sweet–talk? I’ve only done that with one man, and it’s
you!”
Following her statement, Timothy coughed awkwardly. “Mia, what are you going on about?”
After all, Timothy had never allowed Mia to engage in such behavior!
Over the past three years, their ‘romantic‘ connection had stayed purely platonic, except for that
one unforeseen incident.
Mia swiftly grasped the implications of her words, and her cheeks turned red.
She clarified. “I was just babbling. You’re clearly reading too much into it, and your mind is fabricating
inappropriate ideas.”
Timothy grew annoyed. “Inappropriate ideas? You’re the one with the dirty mind!”
“Well, if you think I entertain inappropriate thoughts, feel free to point them out. I’d be happy to
explain.”
Mia refused to back down, maintaining a defiant gaze on Timothy.
Timothy glanced downward, catching sight of Mia’s innocent, dark eyes
His throat subtly tightened, and he unconsciously licked his lips.
In a husky tone, he uttered, “You were the one who brought up sweet–talking.”
“And what if I did? Didn’t I sweet–talk you back then?”
Indeed, Mia had dedicated each day to understanding Timothy’s preferences, anxiously awaited his
return from work, and carefully considered when and how to express herself.
She had to meticulously choose her words, ensuring they always aligned with what he wanted to
hear. Wasn’t that considered a form of sweet–talking?

Heath, standing nearby, unintentionally caught wind of their animated conversation and discreetly took
a few steps back.
He preferred not to eavesdrop on anything he shouldn’t and potentially become a target for
Timothy’s wrath later on.
