Chapter 496
Timothy was frustrated. “Grandma, why must it be a marriage of love? Marriage is just troublesome tonovelbin
me.”
“Congratulations then, you’ll become single again today. You’re free from the trouble,” Laura retorted.
He was rendered speechless. He just stood there, failing to find the words to continue the topic.
Laura spoke again. “You should get going. The courthouse is going to close soon.”
With pursed lips, he finally exited the room.
Laura watched his back and sighed faintly. At the end of the day, she failed to make Mia stay.
Martha sneaked into the room. “Mrs. Barrett Senior, why didn’t you persuade Mrs. Barrett? She
respects you. As long as you disagree with the divorce, she’ll never divorce Mr. Barrett.”
“Do you think I don’t know that? But I can’t force them. Nothing good will come from forcing a couple to
be together.”
“But I don’t think he’s entirely indifferent toward her. They just need time.”
Laura smiled. “That’s why I didn’t go along as he wished. He needs a trigger. If he doesn’t appreciate
her and doesn’t win her back, she’ll leave him. Humans are born this way. We’ll never know how
precious
something is until we lose them.”
Martha gave it a thought, thinking that it made sense. “What if they really divorce?”
“They can remarry then. It’s not uncommon nowadays.” Laura looked on the bright side.
She contacted the lawyer to prepare a property settlement agreement as soon as possible.
There was a need to add fuel to the fire.
Meanwhile, Mia and Timothy left the hospital together.
Her eyes were fixated outside the window. Her emotions were surprisingly calm at the moment.
The one hour drive was quiet until the car stopped outside the courthouse.
Mia raised her head at the building. She felt like it was just yesterday she had arrived here.
Many things had transpired during the past month.
Timothy, standing beside her, spoke up, “Mia, are you sure about this?”
Her eyes darted at him. He was good–looking no matter from which angle one looked at him. He
caught
many ladies‘ attention from the moment he got out of the car.
“Why do you ask?” she calmly questioned back.
As soon as she asked that, her phone rang.
It was Connor. She turned to pick up the call. “Hello?”
“Mia, I got off work earlier today. I can pick you up from college.”
She quickly said, “You don’t have to. I’m not at college.”
“You’re not at college? Where are you?”

Connor’s mood brightened. “Okay. I’ll see you there.”
The call ended and she looked at Timothy. “Let’s go.”
