Meet My Brothers

After some thought, Mia answered, “Mr. Barrett’s my cousin–a distant cousin of mine!”

She felt him gazing suggestively at her, but she didn’t spare him a glance. She had no idea what he was up to.

Felix gladly accepted her explanation. Them being cousins made sense to him, since he was aware that Mia was also related to the Lane family in Nord City. After all, it wasn’t uncommon for the upper crust to be closely related to each other. Thus, it didn’t arouse his suspicion. Instead, he was quite pleased with Mia’s background.

If Mia got together with him in the future, he’d be closely acquainted with both the Lane and Barrett families.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he chattered. “Let’s stop crowding at the entrance. Mr. Barrett, this way please.”

Timothy narrowed his eyes before casting Mia a look. Then, he spun around and followed them to the private room.

Mia went along with heavy steps. She had lost her appetite.

After they all took their seats, Felix handed the menu to Timothy quickly, saying. “Mr. Barrett, you can order first.”

Timothy took the menu, but he passed it to Mia instead.

“Mia, you go ahead.”

His unexpected move almost made Mia choke on her own spit. Looking at the menu before her. she knew he did that on purpose.

Janice, who sat beside her, urged, “Mia, hurry up! Mr. Barrett’s being polite, and you don’t want to

be rude.”

Mia swallowed and took the menu from Timothy. She wasn’t really paying attention to it, so she

merely ordered two dishes.

Just then, Janice grabbed the menu.

“Mia, this isn’t it! Mr. Barrett’s our VIP guest, we should order something more extravagant for him. For example, escargots! You don’t have to worry about the bill. Felix can definitely afford it.

Mia felt extremely awkward. She desperately wanted to escape the situation.

Janice ordered a lot of food, but most of them were spicy. Mia knew Timothy didn’t particularly enjoy spicy food, so instinctively she said, “Mrs. Quilter, can you order something mild? Mr. Barrett doesn’t really prefer spicy food, light food is more to his liking.”

The room fell into silence.

Only then did Mia realize what she had just said. She’d blurted that out because she realized none

of the dishes Janice ordered complied with Timothy’s preference.

Both Timothy and Felix looked at her. Her heart stalled before she explained, “Mr. Barrett’s my

cousin, of course I know his preferences for food.”

Timothy shot her a suggestive glance, playing along. “How considerate of you, Mia. I didn’t know you knew about my food preference that well.”

Mia’s smile stiffened as she replied, “How funny, Timothy. Because I always remember my family’s food preference.”

That prick. She was well aware that he was being sarcastic.

Without skipping a beat, Janice linked arms with her, commenting. “Mia, I didn’t expect you to be this attentive. That’s great! Felix’s usually busy, and he doesn’t really know his way around

relatives. I’ll be relieved if you’re with him in the future.”

An uncomfortable silence enveloped the room. Mia could sense Timothy glaring at her.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
