Chapter 529

Mia couldn’t help but frown, pondering Timothy’s intentions.

Having already drawn considerable attention at the university, Mia was wary of inviting more scrutiny.

Certainly, given her current position as the Lane family heiress, Timothy wouldn’t risk acting against

her.novelbin

Moreover, Mia now had the support of her six brothers.

With these considerations, Mia grabbed her bag and descended the stairs, swiftly slipping into the car

to

avoid being noticed by others.

Timothy cast a glance at her. “Do all pregnant women dash about like you do?”

Mia’s unease became evident. “What’s on your mind? Just say it outright. I’m rather busy, you know.”

“Start driving.”

As the car began to move, Mia’s apprehension grew. “Timothy, where are you taking me?”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to harm you.”

*I’m

warning you, if you try anything with me, my brothers won’t let you get away with it!”

Mia had never felt so empowered by her six brothers‘ support, sensing she held the upper hand.

Straightening her posture, she locked eyes with Timothy, her gaze wide and determined.

Observing Mia’s smug demeanor, Timothy couldn’t resist poking her dimple, finding it rather annoying.

“What are you doing?” Mia quickly moved aside. “Where are you dragging me off to? I still have exams

to

prepare for, you know.”

“Even with your newfound status as the Lane family heiress, are you still worried about a simple

exam?”

Timothy remarked sarcastically.

“Hmph! No matter my family background, I am still the same person. My aspirations remain

unchanged,”

Mia declared.

Timothy regarded Mia earnestly, his eyes clear and steadfast. He couldn’t deny that Mia possessed

qualities he both admired and lacked.

Appearing somewhat flustered. Timothy averted his gaze. “I’m planning to take you out for a meal,” he

stated.

“I’m not interested,” Mia replied firmly, refusing his offer outright.

“What kind of food are you craving, or is there a specific activity you’d like to try?” Timothy inquired.

Mia gazed at him incredulously. “Mr. Barrett, are you suddenly showing such interest because you’re

aware I’m the heiress to the Lane family? Do you regret divorcing me and wish to reconcile?”

Timothy furrowed his brow. “Is that what you assume?”

Nevertheless, hadn’t he persistently tried to mend their relationship? After all, it was Mia who insisted

on

divorcing and leaving the Barrett family!

Mia scoffed coldly. “Mr. Barrett, are you familiar with the expression?”

“What expression?”

“An ideal ex–husband should be as good as dead!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Rodger in front slammed on the brakes, barely containing his

laughter.

Timothy’s expression immediately grew grim. Lowering the car window to welcome the cool breeze, he

spoke firmly. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“Stop the car, I want to get out!” Mia exclaimed. She had no desire to remain in Timothy’s presence any

longer, but Rodger didn’t comply.

Timothy paused, his gaze shifting downward to Mia. “Grandma is being released from the hospital.

She’s

eager to see you.

“Grandma Laura?” Mia asked.

“There’s no need for that.” Timothy reassured her.

“No, I insist on bringing something. If you won’t allow it, I’ll jump out of the car!”

Their gazes met briefly, and Timothy eventually gave in.

Soon, the car pulled up at a shopping mall.

Mia stepped out of the vehicle and proceeded toward the mall. With a grasp of Laura’s preferences,

she

made a beeline for the store.
