Chapter 328

It wasn’t just because Mia hadn’t eaten much that morning. It was also because Maya nearly crashed into her, causing her breakfast to spill onto the ground.

Seeing Mia’s predicament, Timothy turned to Heath, who stood nearby. “Arrange for lunch to be delivered,” he ordered.

Mia quickly interjected, “Wait a moment.”

Beside her, Timothy’s expression hardened. “What’s the issue? Am I not allowed to treat you to a meal?”

Mia discreetly cleared her throat. “No, that’s not what I meant. I just lean toward lighter options, preferably something with soup and maybe a few fruits.”

A tense silence followed her request.

Without hesitation, Mia shot back, “Given that visitors have arrived to see Grandma Laura, isn’t it

Timothy’s frustration grew at Mia’s response.
