Timothy noticed that Mia ended up eating four pancakes, two slices of toast, and a bowl of cereal.

Once breakfast was over, Laura abruptly held out an invitation. “Mia, I got you a spot as a contestant in this competition.”

Mia looked at the invitation. It was for the Fleur International Design Competition.

Startled, she asked Laura, “When did you do this, Grandma?”

“Well, you sent me some interior design sketches a while back, and I just so happened to hear about this competition, so I got you a spot,” Laura explained. “Give it a try. Mia. I think you’ll do a great job.”

Mia stared at the invitation with a look of melancholy. She considered joining this competition years ago, but after marrying into the Barrett family, she devoted all of her time and attention to Timothy. In doing so, she neglected all of her past interests.

Shelly strutted into the dining room and said casually, “Mia, that’s no ordinary competition. Considering how unskilled you are, you shouldn’t bother joining.

“You’ll just be embarrassing yourself. Don’t humiliate the entire Barrett family along with you.”

Laura immediately snapped, “Shelly, you didn’t even graduate from college, so keep quiet!”
