Meet My Brothers

Mia gazed at Timothy in confusion. Her predicament had escalated unexpectedly, and she had assumed her brothers would be the first to learn about it.

Upon hearing the helicopter earlier, she even briefly considered the possibility that her brothers might have come to her rescue.

However, it turned out to be Timothy.

Timothy narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter? Are you disappointed to see me? Who were you expecting?”

“I just thought it might be the police descending from the sky. Is there an issue with that?”

Swaying her foot, Mia continued in a sarcastic tone, “Given your hectic schedule, I hadn’t anticipated you taking such a hands–on approach and swiftly stepping into the forefront. It’s quite unexpected, to be honest.”

“Don’t overthink it. I simply wanted to avoid any rumors about my wife being taken to the mountains for an arranged marriage. Just think about the impact on my reputation if that

information were to leak.”

Mia lowered her gaze, realizing that Timothy’s swift arrival wasn’t motivated by concern for her.

Just then, Timothy rose to his feet, clutching his first aid kit. “Given your chattiness, I’ll be on my

way.”

Witnessing his heartless departure, Mia suddenly felt a pang of anxiety. “Hey, are you really just

going to leave like this?”

As Mia observed the helicopter parked nearby, she noticed that everyorte was beginning to retreat.

It felt as if nobody cared about her!

Feeling a surge of panic, Mia stood up. “Timothy, you stop right there! Legally, I’m still your wife. Are you just going to leave like this? You scoundrel!”

Timothy stood beside the helicopter, watching as Mia approached. A subtle smile played on his lips when he noticed her catching up.

However, he quickly masked his emotions, turning back to regard her with a cold expression. “It’s commendable that you haven’t forgotten you’re still legally my wife.”

Always surrounded by different men, Mia made Timothy seem almost inconspicuous by

Mia hesitated briefly, summoning her courage. “Regardless, you can’t leave me behind. If you go,

please take me with you!”

Given the pressing circumstances, Mia wasn’t concerned about preserving her dignity. The

primary objective was to escape from this dreadful place.

Timothy’s eyes narrowed. “Did you just call me a scoundrel?”

Upon learning that Mia was in trouble earlier, Timothy immediately set aside everything.

leveraging all his connections to locate her as quickly as possible.

Couldn’t she have been more appreciative?

Inhaling deeply, Mia mustered a forced smile. “Mr. Barrett, you’re handsome and kind–hearted.

People with your virtues are bound to be rewarded.”

Timothy playfully pinched her cheek. “Can you make that smile a tad more convincing?”

A wave of emotions overwhelmed Mia’s thoughts. How audacious of Timothy to pinch her cheek!

Suppressing his impulses, Timothy withdrew his hand. “If you could offer a more pleasant remark,

I’d be happy to have you accompany me.”

Mia was completely caught off guard.

Facing the helicopter, she pondered for a moment before tentatively uttering. “You’re quite the

stud.”

“I’m aware of my good looks. Try again.”

“Your majesty?”

“It seems like you don’t want to leave.”

Mia hastily responded, “No, Timmy, please!”

Timothy shuddered, feeling a chill. “Can you use proper words?”

What was the deal with the nickname “Timmy“?

Mia tilted her head. “Honey? Dear? Baby? Darling? Sweetheart?”

The subordinates nearby struggled to stifle their laughter.

Timothy’s expression turned extremely awkward, intentionally maintaining a stern face. “Mia, where did you pick up these words? You’re not taking this seriously at all!”

Mia gestured widely. “Alright then, you pick.”

In an instant, Timothy moved toward her and scooped her up in his arms.

“Your legs are a bit too short.”

Mia couldn’t help but think to herself, “Thanks for taking the time to personally ridicule my stature!
